Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

  • Sun transits its own sign, Leo, from 18:14 to 25:01°.  Sun is closely conjunct Mercury, until Sept. 9th. Aries, Libra and Aquarius rising sign persons, companies and countries are likely under stress. Sun is also closely conjunct Mars until Sept. 15th. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies and countries are likely under stress. Additionally, Sun is under the 9th aspect of Ketu until Sept. 12th. This is not ideal for presidents, physicians, administrators and governments.
  • Moon is waxing and transits Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn and into Aquarius.
  • Mars transits Leo, from 17:19 to 21:47°.  Mars is co-dependent on the strength of its dispositor (landlord), Sun, which is under the influence of the 9th aspect of Ketu until Sept. 12th. This is not ideal for the military, police, surgeons, athletes, executives, firefighters and property matters. Mars remains closely conjunct Mercury until September 9th.

Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies, and countries are likely under stress. Additionally, Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including USA), should be vigilant whenever Jupiter is within 5 degrees of their rising sign degree or any planet — in any house — in their birth or transit chart, by aspect or conjunction.  THIS IS THE CURRENT CASE, CONTRIBUTING TO THE EXTREME STRESS IN THE HOROSCOPE FOR USA – through September.
  • Venus transits out of Leo and into its debilitation sign, Virgo on Sept. 10th. This connects women, luxuries, entertainment, and the fine, healing and performing arts — with the government.

Saturn is retrograde until Sept. 18th and closely conjunct Ketu for 28 weeks — April 5th to October 18th.  This rare and slow-moving transit is causing serious problems worldwide – relative to immigrants, the poor and needy, the masses, working-class persons, the elderly, agriculture, manufacturing, and the oil, gas and minerals industries. Adverse events may include pandemics, military conflicts, economic collapses and global-warming issues (fires, floods, cyclones, volcanoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, et al). BE ESPECIALLY VIGILANT SEPT. 16TH TO OCT. 8TH, WHEN SATURN AND KETU ARE WITHIN 1 DEGREE OF EACH OTHER.
  • Rahu and Ketu transit Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively, from 21:49 to 21:38°. Those persons, companies and countries with planets in “odd” signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) between 20 to 24 degrees – or whenever Rahu or Ketu are within 5 degrees of a rising sign degree (in any house), or any planet (by aspect or conjunction) should be careful and patient.
