Beginning September, this report will be published twice monthly – on the 1st and 15th day of each month. This should be helpful to plan for the month – and also coincides with the movement of the Sun into each sign/house around the middle of every month.
Notable Transit: Mercury is under the fifth aspect of Jupiter. This connects stocks, business, technology, communications and intellectual property with law, justice, banking, religion and education.
Transits for the next two weeks:
Sun transits out of Cancer and into its own sign, Leo, on August 17th at 3:03 a.m. CDT. Sun is under the fifth aspect of Rahu, August 15 – 24. Presidents, leaders, physicians, administrators and government officials may be vulnerable to sudden issues – and should be careful and patient.
Moon is waxing/waning and transits Pisces through Virgo. The new Moon is in Cancer, August 16th at 4:38 a.m. CDT.
Mars transits out of Leo and into Virgo, August 18th at 5:28 a.m. CDT. Mars is weak in degrees through August 25th. The police, military, athletes, surgeons, and executives should get extra rest. Be patient with property matters.
Mercury transits Leo, from 16:22 to 27:04°. This connects stocks, business, technology, communications and intellectual property with leaders and the government. Mercury is under the fifth aspect of Jupiter until August 17th. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA and Ukraine) should be careful and patient.
Jupiter transits Aries, from 20:00 to 21:00°. This should be favorable for law, judges, banking, religion, education, students, children, et al. Jupiter is in Aries through April 30, 2024. This also 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 out of Leo, and back into the previous sign, Cancer, on August 7th, at 00:32 a.m. CDT. Venus is weak in degrees, until August 15th. Be patient with women, romance, medicine, finance, luxuries, social media, weather, architecture, transportation, and the fine, healing and performing arts.
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 11:11 to 10:11°. This should be favorable 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 (including USA and Russia), however, should be careful and patient whenever Saturn is within five degrees of another planet, or the rising sign degree, in any house – by conjunction or aspect.
Rahu and Ketu transit Aries and Libra, respectively, from 03:44 to 02:15°. People, companies, and countries with rising signs between 0 and 4 degrees, or with planets between 0 and 4 degrees in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, should be careful and patient.
The Impact of the Transit Planets for each “Rising Sign” (not “Sun Sign”)
Note: Transit planets should also be seen with reference to the position of the planets in your personal horoscope. In some cases, these will alter the predicted events.
ARIES: Focus on pets, children, education and investments; be patient with these, however, as they may also involve debts, disputes or health issues. Fortunately, the influence of your ninth house ruler, Jupiter, on your sixth house ruler, Mercury, should provide protective covering. Invest in property, vehicles, fixed assets, home education and family life. Connect same with partnerships and joint ventures. These should be favorable through September. Consider new vehicles or whatever modes of transportation you are using. In general, good fortune, spiritual pursuits, and long-distance ventures are forefront through April 2024. Learn, teach, publish, consult and advise. Saturn supports your income and friendships through February 2025. Work hard, be of physical service to others, and consider manufacturing, agriculture, sustainable living, etc.
TAURUS: Take care of pets, children, education, investments and your mental state. Work out of your home on independent projects – connected with writing, business, technology, communications, authority figures and/or large organizations. Be patient with expenses or separations relative to property, vehicles and home life. These can, however, be associated with retreats, ashrams or long-distance places. Be careful with communications and entrepreneurial ventures to manage debts or disputes through September. Be patient with marriage, children, inheritances or financial settlements through next April. On the other hand, Saturn blesses your tenth house of career with a “Sasha Yoga*”, which is favorable for leadership and accomplishments through February 2025. (*This supports service to the masses, patience, hard work, practicality, and a position of authority.)
GEMINI: Speak up as an authority figure and focus on independent and entrepreneurial ventures – involving business, technology, communications and intellectual property. These should be favorable. Be open to partnerships and joint ventures connected with property, vehicles and home life – these should contribute to gains, income and friendships. There should also be a lift with pets, children, education and investments through September. Marriage, partnerships, joint ventures, and life abroad are favorable through next April. Saturn blesses you with good fortune, living your “dharma”, meetings with religious/spiritual figures, and long-distance travel through February 2025.
CANCER: Take a leadership position and enjoy the power of the royal Sun in your first house. This keeps your wealth, status, speech and family life forefront – and connected with your career. There is also a favorable association with property, vehicles, fixed assets and home life. On the other hand, be patient with independent projects involving writing, business, technology and communications; these may be vulnerable to debts and disputes. Teach, publish, consult and advise – and connect your work with law, medicine, finances, social work, psychology, and being of service through next April. Be vigilant, however, to manage fire, theft, debts, disputes, accidents or false allegations in the workplace. Focus on research, languages and ancient knowledge through February 2025. For some of you, there may be a marriage, windfall, inheritance, legal or insurance settlement.
LEO: Be patient, get extra rest, and consider a retreat, ashram or long-distance venture. Things are quite complex right now. Father and religious figures, along with business, technology, family life, communications, and entrepreneurial ventures are all forefront – but also vulnerable to losses, expenses and separations. Be careful with property matters and executive decisions. Expect personal relief and overall improvement after mid-August. Teach, publish, consult and advise through April 2024. Saturn, in Aquarius, confers a favorable Sasha Yoga* in your house of partnerships, joint ventures and comforts-living-abroad through February 2025. (*This supports service to the masses, patience, hard work, perseverance, and a position of authority.)
VIRGO: Focus on ashrams, retreats, institutions, or long-distance places. These may support income and friendships – along with gains from authority figures and large, medical or government organizations. Be patient, however with personal losses, expenses and separations, associated with the marital bond, windfalls, inheritance or financial settlements. On the other hand, you should be able to count on gains from women, luxuries, medicine, entertainment and the fine, healing or performing arts — through September. Long-term, be patient with highs and lows with property, vehicles, fixed assets and home life through next April. These may include setbacks and accidents – or – after this August – favorable windfalls, inheritances, legal or insurance settlements. Saturn, in Aquarius, should help you manage debts, disputes, health or legal issues, through February 2025.
LIBRA: Take a leadership position at work and connect with authority figures and/or large, medical, spiritual, or government organizations. Gain from retreats, institutions or international ventures. Be patient, however, with losses, expenses or separations against income and friendships. On the other hand, you should be able to expect success with partnerships, joint ventures and property matters. Focus on your career, associated with women, luxuries, medicine, entertainment, and the fine, healing or performing arts through September. Connect communications and independent entrepreneurial ventures with relationships and long-distance places through next April. These should do well whenever Mars is in good strength and in favorable houses. Saturn, in your fifth house, supports success with children, education, investments and spiritual pursuits through February 2025.
SCORPIO: Be patient with fluctuations at work. On the one hand, there may be good fortune, connections with father/religious figures, and/or long-distance travel. On the other hand, there may be debts, disputes, fire, theft, accidents or false allegations against you in the workplace. Focus on writing, business, technology, communications and intellectual property. Seek spiritual advice from the women in your life and consider short-lived travel (a week or two) through September. Be patient with stress against your wealth, status, speech and family life through next April — although there may also be a favorable connection with law, medicine, finances, social work, psychology and/or being of service to others. Fortunately, Saturn confers a favorable Sasha Yoga* in your fourth house of parents, property, vehicles, fixed assets and domestic peace – which should add protective covering — through February 2025. (*This supports service to the masses, patience, hard work, perseverance, and a position of authority.)
SAGITTARIUS: Focus on research involving health care, art and music, astrology and design or architecture. Be patient, however, with setbacks with your career, father and religious, and long-distance travel through mid-August. There may also be issues involving children, education, investments and spiritual pursuits. Expect partial relief after mid-August. On the other hand, income, friendships, and the women in your life are likely to remain vulnerable through September. Jupiter, in Aries, indicates spiritual pursuits — and connects you with children, education, and investments from now through April 2024. This should also give you the energy to start new projects — and to keep you moving in the right direction. Teach, publish, consult and advise. Saturn, in Aquarius, may well support leadership and entrepreneurial success through February 2025.
CAPRICORN: Lay low and expect less. Be patient with marriage, partnerships and joint ventures through mid-August. Property, vehicles, fixed assets and home life, along with father and religious figures, and long-distance travel may also be vulnerable to setbacks. Your best bet is with research, languages, health care, music and the arts, astrology, and/or design and architecture. Expect a lift with your career, (connected with women, partnerships and long-distance places), mid-August through September. Jupiter in Aries through April 2024 may involve retreats, ashrams, expenses, separations, relocation or foreign lands — relative to property, vehicles, fixed assets and home life. Fortunately, Saturn in its own sign Aquarius, may well protect your wealth, status, speech, and family life through February 2025. This supports leadership, successful industrial activities and service to the masses.
AQUARIUS: Expect less and exercise patience with partnerships, joint ventures and foreign lands through mid-August. These may be vulnerable to debts, disputes, health or legal issues. There may also be similar issues against windfalls, inheritance, and insurance matters. You can, however, connect relationships with law, medicine, finance, social work and psychology. Take care of father and religious figures and with long-distance travel through September. On the other hand, income and friendships are mostly working for you through next April. Saturn, in Aquarius, confers a Sasha Yoga* on you, which is favorable for your health, reputation, and longevity through February 2025. (*This also supports leadership, service to the masses, patience, hard work, perseverance, and successful agriculture, manufacturing and industrial activities.)
PISCES: Lay low, expect less, and get extra rest. The transits of the planets may be challenging for you. Take care of pets, children, education and investments through mid-August. (Maybe study law, medicine, finances, social work or psychology.) Partnerships and joint ventures may also be vulnerable — to stress, debts, disputes or health issues. Be vigilant with your wealth, status, speech and family life – and be careful with what you have to say or eat — to manage or avoid stress, conflicts or health problems. On the other hand, Jupiter in Aries contributes to your career through next April — whenever Mars is in good strength and favorable houses. Speak up as guru; teach, publish, consult and advise. Saturn, in Aquarius, should also be helpful with retreats, ashrams, foreign lands, and institutions – and adds protection against expenses, separations or hospitalization, through February 2025.
Note: Planetary remedies add a protective covering to life. Strengthen your favorable planets (with color and gemstone therapy and/or the mystical pendant known as the kavach: (https://astroview.com/mystical-pendant/) and do “Bhoota” and “Deva” “Yagyas” (charities and chants) for the planets that cause adverse effects in your horoscope.
