Rahu and Ketu remain stationary in the 19-degree range from Sept. 23rd until Nov. 29th. The prolonged (10-week) slow movement of Rahu and Ketu is not ideal — worldwide. Exercise care and patience and 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 Virgo and into its debilitation sign, Libra, October 17th at 8:52 a.m., CDT. Sun is weak in degrees until October 22nd. Be patient with leaders, presidents, physicians, administrators and governments. Sun remains closely conjunct Venus until November 9th. Taurus, Scorpio and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries should be careful and patient.
Moon is waning and transits Gemini, Cancer, Leo and into Virgo.
Mars transits Gemini, from 00:01 to 01:03°. Mars is weak in degrees until November 29th. There may be issues for the police, military, athletes, surgeons, executives, engineers, and property matters.
Mercury transits its exaltation sign, Virgo, from 13:11 to 24:41°. This should be favorable for stocks, business, technology, and communications.
Last week’s prediction: “…Cancer and Capricorn rising sign…countries (including USA, Russia and Ukraine) should be careful and patient. (USA Polarized by Political Differences and Legal Battles; Crimean Bridge Explosion Damages Russia Lifeline; Ukraine Civilians Under Relentless Shelling by Russia;)
Jupiter transits its own sign, Pisces, from 07:03 to 06:17°. Jupiter is in excellent strength. This should be 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 or other illegal and 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 out of its debilitation sign, Virgo, and into its own sign, Libra, October 18th at 11:09 a.m. CDT. Venus remains closely conjunct Sun until November 9th. Virgo, Capricorn and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries should be careful and patient.
Saturn transits Capricorn, from 24:27 to 24:24°. Saturn is in good strength degrees. This may 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 19:22 to 19:14°. Rahu and Ketu are stationary in the 19-degree range from September 23rd until November 29th. The prolonged (10-week) slow 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.

Ego Identity & The Path to Inner Peace – Eckhart Tolle
Quote of the Week:
“Give up defining yourself – to yourself or to others. You won’t die. You will come to life. And don’t be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it’s their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don’t be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious – as Presence.” – Eckhart Tolle
