Planetary Transits for March 14 – March 20

Notes:  Sun is under the 9th aspect of the northern node of the Moon, Rahu, until March 19th. Take care of father figures and watch your stomach, digestion, heart, blood, bones and immune system. This affliction is absolutely not ideal for leaders, presidents, physicians, administrators and governments. Watch for news about a sudden eclipse relative to persons in high positions.

Additionally, Jupiter is under the 8th aspect of Mars until March 28th. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries (including India) should be careful and patient.

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

  • Sun transits out of Aquarius and into Pisces, March 14th at 7:09 p.m. CDT. Sun is under the 9th aspect of Rahu until March 19th. Take care of father figures and watch your stomach, digestion, heart, blood, bones and immune system. This affliction is absolutely not ideal for leaders, presidents, physicians, administrators and governments. Watch for news about a sudden eclipse relative to persons in high positions.
  • Moon is waxing and transits Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo and into Virgo. The full Moon is in Virgo, March 20th at 8:42 p.m. CDT.
  • Mars transits Aries from 24:34 to 29:12°. Mars is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This is favorable for 9 of the 12 rising signs. Taurus, Virgo and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including India) however, are under stress whenever Mars is close to the rising sign degree — or any other planet by aspect or conjunction.
  • Mercury transits out of its debilitation sign, Pisces, and back into Aquarius, on March 14th at 10:29 p.m. CDT. Mercury is weak in degrees until March 20th. Be careful with stocks, finance, business, computers, technology and communications. Mercury is in retrograde motion March 5 – 28. This is only a problem for Aries, Libra and Aquarius rising signs — and only if Mercury is within 5 degrees of the rising sign degree (in any house) or any other planet by aspect or conjunction.
  • Jupiter transits Scorpio, from 29:04 to 29:34°.  Jupiter is weak in old age degrees. This may cause issues for law, publishing, teaching, education, advisory roles and religious organizations. Jupiter is under the 8th aspect of Mars until March 28th. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries may be under stress.
  • Venus transits Capricorn, from 20:48 to 29:08°.  Venus is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This should be good for women, romance, luxuries, medicine, vehicles, legal issues, finance, entertainment, and the fine, healing and performing arts.
  • Saturn transits Sagittarius, from 24:39 to 25:07°. 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 00:42 to 00:21°. Those persons with 0 to 2° rising signs or with any planets in the 0 to 2°range in even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn or Pisces — including the USA) should be careful and patient.
