Planetary Transits for February 11th-17th

(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)

Notes:  There are complex transits with six planets at the beginning of this week in Capricorn. Three of them, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus are closely conjunct and all under the influence of Rahu, the northern node of the Moon.  This is likely to cause sudden issues with stocks, finance, business, technology, communications, law, banking, education, and the fine, healing or performing arts. There may also be issues with the weather, health and computer viruses, transportation and for women, romance, luxuries, and entertainment.

Jupiter is under the 9th aspect of Rahu until March 13th. This likely represents sudden issues or unlawful violence. (Impeachment Trial Highlights Capitol Hill Violence.) Jupiter remains in its debilitation sign, Capricorn, until April 5.  This is not ideal for law, banking, religion, children, education, publishing and advisory roles.

Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, from 12:19 to 13:08°. This is a strong position for Saturn and should be helpful for the elderly, the masses, working-class persons, immigrants, minority groups, the poor and need, manufacturing, healthcare and environmental issues.

Donald Trump has 5 planets (Sun, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) transiting the 6th house of his horoscope. This indicates mental tension, along with debts, disputes, health and legal issues. The transit of Mars through his 9th house may add protective covering through Feb. 21st.  Sun, ruling his chart, moves into the favorable 7th house on Feb. 12th, but remains weak in transit through April 19th. This may not support relief for the next two months.
