Planetary Transits for November 13th – November 19th

(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)

Last week’s prediction: “Expect highs and lows with stocks…”  (S&P 500, Nasdaq build on biggest stock rally since 2020; Crypto giant files for bankruptcy as CEO resigns in a stunning downfall; In less than a week, Sam Bankman-Fried’s $16 billion fortune evaporated.)

Notes:  Rahu and Ketu remain stationary in the 19-degree range until Nov. 29th.  The prolonged (10-week) movement of Rahu and Ketu is not ideal worldwide – and involves extremes and sudden fluctuations.  Exercise care and patience; do not take risks or chances.

People, companies and countries with rising signs between 17 and 21 degrees, or with planets between 17 and 21 degrees in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius should be especially careful and patient.

Transits for this Week:

Sun transits out of its debilitation sign, Libra, and into Scorpio, November 16th. Sun is weak in degrees until November 20th.  Be patient with leaders, presidents, physicians, administrators and governments.

Last week’s prediction: “This is likely to create delays…with the U.S. Midterm Elections. (Senate results delayed by four days, House results still not finalized.)

Astrological Forecast: Sun in Scorpio

Moon is waning and Gemini, Cancer, Leo and Virgo.

Mars transits out of Gemini and back into Taurus. Mars is weak in degrees until November 29th. There may be issues for the police, military, athletes, surgeons, executives, engineers, and property matters. Mars remains in Taurus until Mars 13th. Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius rising sign persons will need to be patient with income and friendships; partnerships and joint ventures; and children and investments, respectively.

Mars in Taurus

Mercury transits Scorpio, from 00:00 to 10:19°.  Mercury is weak in degrees until November 16th. Be patient with stocks, business, technology and communications. Mercury is under the ninth aspect of Jupiter until November 19th. Taurus, Cancer, and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including USA, Russia and Ukraine) should be careful and patient.

Jupiter transits its own sign, Pisces, from 04:49 to 04:38°.  This remains favorable for law and justice – and sheds light on the illicit activities of deceptive and manipulative persons and organizations (e.g., those involved in the Jan. 6th insurrection and other illegal or fraudulent practices.)

Jupiter is in retrograde motion until November 23rd. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA, Russia and Ukraine) should be careful and patient when Jupiter is within five degrees of their rising sign degree in any house, or any planet, by aspect or conjunction.

Venus transits Scorpio, from 02:03 to 10:50°. Venus is under the ninth aspect of Jupiter until November 18th. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including USA, Russia and Ukraine) should be careful and patient.

Saturn transits Capricorn, from 24:47 to 25:05°. Saturn is in good strength degrees. This should be helpful for the masses, the elderly, the poor and needy, and working-class persons, along with manufacturing, agriculture, sustainable living, and the oil, gas and minerals industries.

Rahu and Ketu transit Aries and Libra, respectively, from 19:10 to  19:11°. Rahu and Ketu are stationary in the 19-degree range from September 23rd until November 29th.  The prolonged (10-week) movement of Rahu and Ketu is generally not ideal — worldwide. Additionally, people, companies, and countries with rising signs between 17 and 21 degrees, or with planets between 17 and 21 degrees in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius, should be especially careful and patient.
