(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)
Notes: Rahu and Ketu are stationary in the 7-degree range (Oct. 19th – Jan. 2nd). Whenever Rahu and Ketu are slow-moving for a prolonged period of time, they can cause serious issues worldwide.
In the horoscope for the U.S.A., Rahu is closely conjunct Moon, ruling the chart. This could indicate serious stress or unexpected calamities. This impact is through January.
Ketu is also close to Jupiter, ruling the countryʻs sixth house of debts, disputes, health and legal issues. This impact is through February.
These transits are challenging for everyone. Take care of your family, focus on your spiritual life and be careful and patient – and at all times.
(Life is a series of challenges, which primarily serve to further evolution.)
