Transits for this Week:
Sun transits out of Aquarius and into Pisces on March 14th at 2:46 p.m. EDT. Sun is under the fifth aspect of Ketu until March 19th. Presidents, leaders, physicians, administrators, and governments are under severe stress and may have issues with their hearts, stomachs, blood pressure, etc.
A lot of soul-searching is likely for most of us. The best use of this time is in deep meditation and spiritual practices — along with charitable works.
Moon is waxing and transits Gemini, Cancer, Leo, and Virgo. The full Moon is in Virgo on March 18th at 3:17 a.m. EDT.
Mars transits its exaltation sign, Capricorn, from 11:01 to 16:14°. Mars remains closely conjunct Venus until March 22nd. Taurus, Scorpio, and Pisces rising sign persons, companies, and countries (including India) should be careful and patient.
Mercury transits Aquarius, from 10:51 to 11:39°. This connects the stocks, business, technology and communications with the masses and inventiveness, unconventionality, and humanitarian efforts.
Jupiter transits Aquarius, from 22:39 to 24:19°. Jupiter is in favorable degrees. This connects law, religion, children, and morality with the masses, along with inventiveness, unconventionality and humanitarian efforts.
Venus transits Capricorn, from 12:06 to 18:48°. Venus remains closely conjunct Mars until March 22nd. Taurus, Virgo, and Scorpio rising sign persons, companies, and countries (including India) should be careful and patient.
Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, from 25:59 to 26:43°. Saturn is now weak in degrees (until Sept. 27th). This is not ideal for the masses, along with manufacturing, agriculture and the oil, gas, and minerals industries. Fortunately, there are no afflictions to Saturn, which may be helpful.
Rahu and Ketu transit out of their exaltation signs, Taurus and Scorpio, (where they have been for the past 19 months) and into Aries and Libra, respectively, on March 16th at 20:53 p.m. EDT.
People, companies, and countries with planets or a rising sign between 0 and 2 degrees in even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces) and between 28 and 30 degrees in odd signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius) in these degrees, should be careful and patient. (Including USA and Ukraine!)
