Planetary Transits October 3 – October 9
(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)
Prediction from Planetary Transits July 15 – July 21:
Be especially vigilant during July, August, and September, as Saturn remains under the ninth aspect of Rahu. (There may be issues relative to Covid-19, the masses, the elderly, immigrants, working class persons, agriculture and manufacturing – along with things of the earth, such as fires, flood, tornadoes, earthquakes, etc.)
It is likely things will improve by the end of September – other transits notwithstanding.
Note: Covid-19 cases continued to rise during July, August and September. There were also problems with immigration (Haiti and Afghanistan); along with fires, floods, volcanoes, hurricanes, etc.
