Planetary Transits for July 17th – July 23rd

Astroview Weekly Column

(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)

In the horoscope for USA*, the transit of Rahu (sudden calamities) is applying its ninth aspect to natal Venus, ruling women, medicine, the arts, and the fourth house of property and domestic peace. This impact remains through mid-September.

Additionally, Rahu and Ketu will afflict six of the twelve houses mid-August to mid-December.  During this same time, transit Saturn, ruling the eighth house of setbacks, accidents and deathlike experiences, will afflict Sun, ruling the president, the government, and the country’s wealth, status and family life. Unfortunately, this likely indicates stress for the country through the mid-term elections.

Jupiter transits its own sign, Pisces, from 14:19 to 14:30°.  Jupiter is in excellent strength. This should be favorable for nine of the twelve rising signs.

Saturn is in retrograde motion until October 23rd. Contrary to popular belief, this is not a problem for most people. The impact is primarily for Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries – and ONLY when Saturn is within five degrees of the rising sign degree, or any other planet, by aspect or conjunction.

Rahu and Ketu transit Aries and Libra, respectively, from 26:02 to 25:50°. People, companies, and countries with planets or rising signs between 24 and 28 degrees in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius should be careful and patient.
