Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

• Sun transits Aquarius, from 08:11 to 15:13°. This connects the government with imaginative, unconventional and humanitarian efforts, along with oil, gas, minerals, manufacturing, agriculture, immigration and the elderly and the poor and needy. Sun is in good strength and is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be favorable for leaders, physicians, administrators, and governments.
• Moon is waning and transits Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius.  Moon, in Scorpio, is debilitated Feb. 25 – 26. Watch your emotional state and be vigilant in crowds and around volatile persons.
• Mars transits Aries from 10:28 to 15:10°. This connects fire with property and puts a focus on the military, police, athletes, martial arts, mathematics and engineering. Mars is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This is favorable for 10 of the 12 rising signs. Taurus and Virgo rising sign persons, companies and countries should exercise care and patience.
• Mercury transits out of Aquarius and into its debilitation sign, Pisces, on Feb. 24^th at 10:23 p.m. CST. Mercury is weak in its debilitation until March 15. Be careful with stocks, finance, business, computers, technology and communications.
• Jupiter transits Scorpio, from 26:46 to 27:39°.  Jupiter is weak in old age degrees, but remains outside the orb of influence of other planets. This remains favorable for law, publishing, teaching, education, advisory roles and religious organizations. (This brings to light hidden issues involving the rule of law.)
• Venus transits out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn, Feb. 24^th at 12:15 a.m. CST.  Venus is closely conjunct Ketu, under the 7^th aspect of Rahu, Feb. 22 – March 2. Take care of the women in your life and be careful with medicine, romance, luxuries, transportation and the fine, healing and performing arts.
• Saturn transits Sagittarius, from 22:55 to 23:33°. This connects law, religion and education with the elderly, the poor and needy, immigrants, and working-class persons.
• Rahu and Ketu transit Cancer and Capricorn, respectively, from 02:10 — 01:52°. Those persons with 0 to 3° rising signs or with any planets in the 0 to 3°range in even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces —including the USA) should be careful and patient.
