Astroview Report
Planetary Transits for October 1st — October 14th
(Interpretations based on the Systems’ Approach to Vedic Astrology)
Note: These astrological reports are now published on the 1st and 15th of each month. This should be helpful for planning the month – and coincides with the movement of the Sun into each sign/house around the middle of every month.
Notable Transits: Venus is under the fifth aspect of Rahu until Oct. 7th. Mars is closely conjunct Ketu, under the seventh aspect of Rahu, until Oct. 11th. See the notes below for Venus and Mars, and for your particular rising sign. Rahu and Ketu remain stationary in the zero-degree range through November. This is typically challenging, worldwide. Exercise care and patience – and at all times.
Transits for the next two weeks:
Sun transits Virgo, from 13:34 to 27:23°. This connects the government with stocks, business, technology, communications and intellectual property.
Moon is waning and transits Aries through Libra. The new Moon is in Virgo, Oct. 14th.
Mars transits out of Virgo and into Libra, Oct. 3rd at 7:28 a.m., CDT. Mars is closely conjunct Ketu (and under the seventh aspect of Rahu) until Oct. 11th. This may cause setbacks, sudden issues, and inflammation relative to the police, military, athletes, surgeons, executives and property matters.
Mercury transits out of Leo, and into its own and exaltation sign, Virgo, on Oct. 1st at 10:09 a.m. CDT. This should be favorable for earthy, practical progress with stocks, business, technology, communications, and intellectual property.
Jupiter transits Aries, from 20:13 to 18:47°. This should be favorable for law, judges, banking, religion, education, students, and children. Jupiter is in retrograde motion, until Dec. 30th. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons should be careful and patient whenever Jupiter is within five degrees of their rising sign degree — or any planet — by aspect or conjunction, in any sign or house.
Jupiter is in Aries through April 30, 2024. This connects law and justice with Mars. Expect courageous and executive decisions (without fear or favor) regarding legal matters through February 2024. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, however, should be careful and patient — as Jupiter is in their twelfth, eighth, and sixth (inauspicious) houses, respectively, through April 2024.
Venus transits out of Cancer and into Leo, Oct. 1st at 2:32 p.m., CDT. Venus is under the fifth aspect of Rahu through Oct. 7th. Take care of the women in your life and be patient with all Venus significations, such as design, luxuries, weather, medicine, entertainment, transportation, and the fine, healing or performing arts. Expect news about well-known women.
Saturn transits its own sign, Aquarius, from 07:16 to 06:04°. This brings to the forefront discussions relative to the masses, the elderly, the poor and needy, agriculture, manufacturing, and “things of the earth”, along with the oil, gas and minerals industries. (Gas prices are under discussion, along with government funding.)
Saturn is in retrograde motion until November 4. This is not a problem for most people. Cancer, Virgo, and Pisces rising sign persons, however, should be careful and patient whenever Saturn is within five degrees of their rising sign degree or any planet, in any sign or house, by aspect or conjunction.
Rahu and Ketu transit Aries and Libra, respectively, from 00:42 to 00:41°. Rahu and Ketu are now stationary in the zero-degree range until November 28th. This prolonged transit generally represents worldwide stress. This is especially true for those persons, companies and countries with rising signs between 0 and 2 degrees, or with planets between 0 and 2 degrees in the odd signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) – and/or for those with rising signs between 28 and 30 degrees, or with planets between 28 and 30 degrees in the even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces). In these cases, it is imperative to exercise care and patience for the duration.
The Impact of the Transit Planets for each “Rising Sign” (not “Sun Sign”)
