Beginning Sept. 1st, this report will be published on the 1st and 15th of each month. This should be helpful for planning the month – and also coincides with the movement of the Sun into each sign/house around the middle of every month.
Prediction from August 6th: “Presidents, leaders…and government officials may be vulnerable to sudden issues…” (Donald Trump receives fourth indictment; government officials in Maui blamed for mismanagement of recent catastrophe.)
Transits for the next two weeks:
Sun transits its own sign, Leo, from 02:45 to 13:22°. (This is quite favorable through mid-Sept.) Sun is under the fifth aspect of Rahu until August 24th. Presidents, leaders, physicians, administrators and government officials should continue to be careful and patient. Sun is under the seventh aspect of Saturn, August 22 – 31. Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign person, companies and countries should be careful and patient.
Moon is waxing and transits Virgo through Aquarius. The new Moon is in Cancer, August 16th at 4:38 a.m. CDT. Moon, in Scorpio, is debilitated August 23 – 25. Watch your emotional state and vigilant in crowds and around volatile persons.
Mars transits Virgo, from 01:07 to 08:09°. This connects the police, military, athletes, surgeons, and executives with technology, communications and intellectual and physical property. Mars is outside the orb of influence of other planets, but is co-dependent on the strength of Mercury.
Mercury transits Leo, from 27:04 to 25:00°. This connects stocks, business, technology, communications and intellectual property — with leaders, physicians, administrators, and the government.
Mercury is in retrograde motion, August 23 – Sept. 15. Aries, Libra and Aquarius rising sign persons should be careful and patient whenever Mercury is within five-degrees of their rising sign degree or any planet by aspect or conjunction.
Jupiter transits Aries, from 21:00 to 21:21°. This should be favorable for law, judges, banking, religion, education, students, and children. Jupiter is in Aries through April 30, 2024. This connects law and justice with Mars. Expect courageous and executive decisions (without fear or favor) regarding legal matters through February 2024.
Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies, and countries, however, should also be careful and patient as Jupiter is in their twelfth, eighth, and sixth (inauspicious) houses, respectively, through April 2024.
Venus transits Cancer, from 22:17 to 18:18°. CDT. This is royal and favorable for women, romance, medicine, finance, luxuries, social media, weather, architecture, transportation, and the fine, healing and performing arts. Be patient, however, as Venus is co-dependent on the strength of the fast-moving Moon.
Venus is in retrograde motion until September 3rd. This is not a problem for most people. Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries, however, should be careful and patient — whenever Venus is close to their rising sign degree or any planet in any house, by aspect or conjunction.
Saturn transits its own sign, Aquarius, from 10:11 to 09:21°. This should be helpful for the masses, the elderly, the poor and needy, manufacturing, agriculture, and the oil, gas and minerals industries.
Saturn is in retrograde motion until November 4. This is not a problem for most people. Cancer, Virgo, and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries, however, should be careful and patient whenever Saturn is within five degrees of their rising sign degree or any planet, in any house – by aspect or conjunction.
Rahu and Ketu transit Aries and Libra, respectively, from 02:15 to 01:41°. People, companies, and countries with rising signs between 0 and 3 degrees, or with planets between 0 and 3 degrees in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, should be careful and patient.
