Note: In the SAMVA horoscope for the United States*, Saturn (ruling the 8^th house of delays, setbacks, obstructions, accidents, vulnerability, transformations, and deathlike experiences) has been afflicting Venus, (ruling the 4^th house of property, fixed assets and the country’s domestic peace), since October 5^th. Unfortunately, this influence continues through December and likely represents continued stress for the U.S.

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

• Sun transits Scorpio, from 18:39 to 25:45°. Sun is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be favorable for leaders, physicians, administrators and governments.
• Moon is waxing and transits Pisces, Aries, and Taurus. The full (cold) Moon is Taurus, December 11^th at 11:12 p.m. CST.
• Mars transits Libra from 16:23 to 21:02°. Mars is under the 5^th aspect of Rahu until Dec. 10th. This represents sudden issues for the military, police, athletes, surgeons, executives, fire fighters, and property matters (fires, floods, storms, earthquakes, volcanoes, et al).
• Mercury transits Scorpio, from 00:03 to 10:01°. Mercury is weak in degrees until Dec. 9^th. Be patient with stocks, business, brokering, finance, computers, technology, communications and intellectual property.

Mercury in Scorpio: Disciplined, Fearless, Persevering

• Jupiter transits its own sign, Sagittarius, from 06:25 to 08:00°. This should be helpful for law, religion, morality, justice, education, husbands, children, 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 Sagittarius, from 17:18 to 25:57°. Venus is conjunct Saturn, Dec. 7 – 15. Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA) should be careful and patient.
• Saturn transits Sagittarius, from 24:17 to 25:01°. Saturn is conjunct Venus, Dec. 7 – 15. Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries should be careful and patient.
• Rahu and Ketu transit Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively, from 14:36 to 14:16°. Rahu and Ketu are now stationary in the 14-degree range until January 27^th. 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).
