Planetary Transits for December 19 – December 25

Notes: Jupiter transits its own sign, Sagittarius – in very good degrees. This should be favorable for law, religion, morality, justice, education, banking, consulting and good fortune through Dec.

In the SAMVA horoscope for the U.S.*, however, transit Saturn, ruling the 8th house of setbacks, accidents and deathlike experiences, afflicts natal Venus (ruling the 4th house of assets, property and domestic peace) through Dec. – and Sun, ruling the 2nd house of wealth, status and family life, is vulnerable to debts, disputes, health and legal issues through mid-Jan.

Let us hope that the strong Jupiter will help us manage the continued stress for the country.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HOLIDAYS, AND BEST WISHES FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES FOR HEALTH, HAPPINESS, PEACE AND PROSPERITY IN THE COMING NEW YEAR!   DAVID HAWTHORNE

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

  • Sun transits Sagittarius, from 02:53 to 10:00°. Sun is weak in degrees until Dec. 21st. Leaders, physicians, administrators and governments should get extra rest.

Sun In Sagittarius

 

  • Moon is waning and transits Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and into Sagittarius.  Moon, in Scorpio, is debilitated Dec. 23 – 25. Watch your emotional state and be vigilant in crowds and around volatile persons. The new Moon is in Sagittarius, Dec. 26. (Start something new.)
  • Mars transits out of Libra and into Scorpio, Dec. 25th. Mars is weak in degrees until Jan. 2nd. Expect less with the military, police, athletes, surgeons, executives, fire fighters, and property matters.
  • AnchorMercury transits out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius, Dec. 25th. Mercury is weak in degrees until Dec. 28th.  Be patient with stocks, business, brokering, finance, computers, technology, communications and intellectual property.
  • Jupiter transits its own sign, Sagittarius, from 09:36 to 11:12°. This should be helpful for law, religion, morality, justice, education, husbands, children, banking, consulting and good fortune. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including USA), however, should be vigilant whenever Jupiter is within 5 degrees of their rising sign degree or any planet — in any house — in their birth or transit chart, by aspect or conjunction.
  • Jupiter transits Sagittarius from Nov. 2019 until Nov. 2020 (except for April, May and June — when it is in Capricorn). The optimal times for Jupiter significations will be: November 29 – December 30; January 21 – March 10; and July 16 – November 2.
  • Venus transits Capricorn, from 04:35 to 13:13° and is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be favorable for women, medicine, romance, luxuries, photography, architecture, entertainment and the fine, healing or performing arts.
  • Saturn transits Sagittarius, from 25:47 to 26:35°. Saturn is outside the orb of influence of other planets.  This should be good for the elderly, (Social Security announces increase in benefits), the poor and needy, immigration, manufacturing and the oil, gas and mineral industries.
  • Rahu and Ketu transit Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively, from 14:19 to 14:15°. Rahu and Ketu are stationary in the 14-degree range until January 27th. This is not ideal for persons, companies and countries with planets in “odd” signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius) between 13 and 15 degrees – or for anyone — whenever Rahu or Ketu are within 5 degrees of a rising sign degree (in any house), or any planet (by aspect or conjunction).
