Planetary Transits for September 24 – September 30

Notes:  In the horoscope for the USA, transit 6th house ruler, Jupiter, remains closely conjunct the 4th house ruler, Venus. This is likely the cause of debts, disputes, mental tension, health and legal issues, and civil unrest — relative to property, the weather, and our domestic peace through the national election, (especially August 15 – October 15) when they are closest together.

Jupiter represent law and judges, while Venus also represents law as well as women. This conjunction may well reflect the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Mars, ruling the 10th house of our national “karma” is under the close influence of the southern node of the Moon, Ketu, through Oct. 23rd. This is likely to cause serious issues relative to property, the workforce, the military and police, and national intelligence agencies.

Be careful and patient, take care of your family, and avoid conflict. The best use of this transit is to connect your physical energy with your spiritual practices.
