Into Early Summer
The May 9 VedicLeaks entry, Into Spring, described improved planetary dispositions bringing a welcome respite from the challenging winter. That fits nicely with nature's spring season of growth bringing abundance.
The key planetary influences were benefics Jupiter and Mercury, the mental planets, becoming better disposed. Plus, the challenging malefics, Saturn and Mars, also improving their influences by weakening due to retrogrades. The latter can mystify -- but consider the analogy of two big schoolyard bullies cowed by adult supervision.
May, then, was a better month in general, and June follows that trend. Yes, there have been lots of challenges, but overall the last several weeks have brought a respite with opportunities to solve problems and advance. Beyond the uplifted good/bad mix of planetary karmas, that the mental planets regained strength enables understanding a complex and muddled world, nation and own own personal situations.
Certainly Jupiter and Mercury stronger now have awakened the media has to its democratic duty to investigate and report the truth -- described in the June 6 post script to the May 31 VedicLeaks, Catching Up With Predictions -- One More, Everyone knows by now that the press has suddenly and dramatically this week focused upon doing its job as the fourth estate in calling Trump, Mr. Chaos, on his stuff -- the lies, misrepresentations, bullying.....
Even the appalling domestic terrorism in Orlando has brought a Jupiter/Mercury mental focus and understanding about key issues in American society -- domestic terrorism, lack of gun restrictions and endemic discrimination (this time against LGBT). Consequently Trump exposed himself in taking the low road by inciting fear and hate. And Hillary Clinton, in taking the high road of real American values, has burnished her star and stimulated many others to reject Trump's tyranny for shared democratic values. Remember, this is a key term describing both the First Progressive Age at the turn of the 20th century and the emerging Second Progressive age of today.
Setting Up For a Rough Summer
Below is a transit chart for today, using the natural zodiac beginning with Aries. (Despite predictions for doom because it's 06 16 16, the world will likely here still here tomorrow!)
You can see that malefics Mars and Saturn remain retrograde -- good for weakening their ability to do harm. And Jupiter is moving forward, which is also good. However, Jupiter is perilously close to Rahu, the head of the dragon eclipse point, which brings conflict and deception. These, qualities, then, are peaking now. To understand better how potently toxic Rahu is, was when the all-important Moon transited through Leo with Rahu June 11 and 12 that the Orlando mass murder occurred. Rahu's brings conflict and deception to wise Jupiter and insanity to the emotional Moon.
Note, btw, the Moon is now in Libra, on its way to Scorpio's turbulent seas, where she will also be hit by Mars and Saturn -- tomorrow and Saturday.
While another mass murder is not indicated, certainly other calamities can happen -- especially to the U.S. and Trump. |
Still, with malefics Mars and Saturn still retrograde, Rahu can only bring some calamities. It is when these malefics turn forward that the secondary malevolence will cause all hell to break loose. (Note: again, however, it is Rahu's turmoil that brings the Second Progressive Age. So, look for turmoil this summer as bashing the political and economic imbalances that make the rich richer and the rest of us worse off.)
As stated in the May 31 VedicLeaks, Mars ends its retrograde June 30 and... Saturn ends its retrograde August 12. Mars will thereby launch attacks beginning in July.
Now Comes Mars
Here's the transit chart for July 1. You can see Mars has lost its retrograde R -- but that he retrograded back into Libra. It won't be until July 13 that he enters Scorpio again -- to resume his battle with Saturn. We can thereby use July 13 as the beginning of renewed Mars/Saturn stress.
| However, Trump will begin to really suffer July 1, when his planetary cycles change to include Ketu -- the dissolving tail-of-the-dragon (demon) eclipse point. Then, he will seeth and erupt, attacking others willy nilly, without reason -- the demon revealed. |
During the last half of July, Mars will gradually advance upon Saturn, but even during the conventions, he will remains over 10 degrees away from the great malefic. Thus, the April 27 VedicLeaks offered optimistic results.
| The July Republican and Democratic part conventions -- 7/18 -- 21 and 7/25 -- 28 respectively -- will be a mess because Mars will be advancing again toward Saturn -- a direct attack -- and Venus and Mercury will be stuck in Cancer. That sign is the terrible eight house in the U.S. chart, the twelfth house of loss for Donald Trump and the tenth house of career for Hillary Clinton. This last may appear benign, but it's not because Clinton has malefics Mars and Saturn in Cancer. Again, specific predictions will follow in future entries. However, with Jupiter moving forward again and active in the U.S. chart, the conventions can end with good results. |
However, it won't be until August, when in mid month Mars and Saturn crash together, that destructive karma truly ignite. When saturn end its retrograde August 12 is the most sensitive. That will signal earth crust events, hurricanes and more.

This is a direct emai entry.
Mars Retrograde Ending
The (above) June 16 VedicLeaks entry looked back to a pretty good spring throughout May and into June -- and then looked ahead. See the section, Setting Up For A Rough Summer. Malefics Mars and Saturn ending their weakening retrogrades are the two main drivers here.
Note that Mars ends its retrograde June 30, and Saturn much later on August 12.
At issue now, of course, is Mars. In just five days, the planet of war, violence, hate and anger will turn forward -- with all guns blazing.
Yes, there have been momentous fires and floods in the U.S. And abroad, the UK voted to leave the EU is of even greater economic magnitude. (This, of course, is another revolt against traditional authority to make way for renewal of shared democratic values this still new Second Progressive Age promises.)
These events demonstrate the planets are turbulent for just Saturn alone in evil Scorpio and Rahu (the head-of-the-dragon eclipse point) hammering Jupiter in Leo. Recall that in the natural zodiac (starting with Aries) which describes global karmas, Scorpio is the eighth house of calamity and Leo the fifth house of government. It is also true, however, that Mars, still weakly retrograde, and further harmed by being on the edge of the sign border between Scorpio and Libra, has added hate and violences -- like a sick dog will bite.
Well, when Mars turns forward June 30, where it is temporarily in Libra, he then moves into Scorpio to do battle with Saturn July 13 -- current turbulences will be like ripples on a pond compared with raging hurricane seas.
The section, Now Comes Mars in the (above) June 16 VedicLeaks includes this chart using the natural zodiac for July 1. You can easily see that Leo is the fifth house (government) and Scorpio the eighth house (calamity). And Mars, at 29:58 degrees is poised to enter Scorpio July 12.
As Vedic Astrology is an astronomical astrology, this today article from EarthSky.org, Mars’ retrograde ends June 30 is both timely and illustrative. (The article includes a good explanation of retrograde motion.)
This image shows Mars approaching Scorpio, where Saturn lurks. If storms aren't in your neighborhood, go outside and look -- shortly after sunset -- to see this sky show, beautiful in a deadly way. Scorpio is both an expansive constellation and remarkably like its animal name.
As above, so below
Remember the June 16 VedicLeaks stated, However, Trump will begin to really suffer July 1, when his planetary cycles change to include Ketu -- the dissolving tail-of-the-dragon (demon) eclipse point. Then, he will seethe and erupt, attacking others willy nilly, without reason -- the demon revealed.
Certainly, then, starting July 13, when Mars begins attacking Saturn again -- we'll have a celestial witch's brew. The political waters will boil, and boil over -- Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.
And keep in mind the list of significations from the Rahu/Jupiter conjunction, first published in February and most recently in the May 31 VedicLeaks entry,
wealth issues
government
storms
religion
earth crust events
disease
vermin
aeronautical leaps |
