Struggling Through October

Sunday's "Heads-up,The Moon Is With Mars"
There were no discernible results of this caution on the world stage.  The news doesn't always pick up events right away, and sometimes related events overshadow.  For example, the Japan's deadly volcano eruption was Saturday, when the Moon was not yet with Mars.  But the Moon was with Saturn, the planet of things under the earth and form and structure. Saturn thereby associates to earth crust events.

And this article, Japan volcano: Search suspended as eruption intensifies, stated, ...there was a great increase in the amount of material and gas being ejected on Tuesday.  Too, since the Moon is the home, the prediction for Plumbing issues in the home came true in a kind of twisted way.  Other events already in motion escalated -- like the air bombing against ISIS, violence in Ukraine and Hong Kong protests.

Since the Moon is such a personal planet, the Heads-up was also directed at you personally.  Just use care and be aware to dodge incoming challenge.  A neighbor cut her hand Monday morning gardening.  An elderly German fellow at the beach, wearing a 9-11 shirt, was asked about the ISIS conflict.  He replied in a rage they should be nuked, just like Bin Laden should have been nuked in Afghanistan, like Japan was nuked in WWII!  When asked about civilian deaths and property damage, snorted.  When asked why Germany shouldn't also have been nuked in WWII, he stomped off.

The Planets Are Becoming Afflicted And Weak
In October now, the planets are becoming difficult. This has been mentioned several times in VedicLeaks entries. Today's discussion sets the stage by explaining how and why the celestial winds are stormy this month by briefly discussing several planets.

Planets naturally cause harm when they are afflicted. They also bring poor results when weak. Malefics also harm when too strong.

Venus is weak in it's fallen sign of Virgo -- September 25 to October 17.   Venus also becomes badly afflicted from October 15 for several days as she tangles with malefics Rahu (the head-of-the-dragon eclipse point) and the hot Sun at just the wrong time -- for then she reaches her maximum point of debilitation at 27 degrees.  Affairs of the heart, beauty, diplomacy, compassion, females and vehicles are all compromised.   As females suffer, this will give added impetuous to women voting in large numbers November 4.  Of course, with the U.S. chart running Mars major and Venus minor cycles, there's confirming karma for Mom to clean house.  See, Morning Plum: Can women save the Senate for Democrats?

Rahu, on the other hand, is too strong now, for he's in one of those rare intervals when he is literally stopped in the sky -- which empowers him.  Rahu became stationary September 24 and will remain the deadly motionless serpent until November 7.  One potent effect of this Rahu is he sits on the U.S.'s Saturn, which symbolizes government officials.  He grinds them up.  So, yesterday, the head of the Secret Service resigned.  This article lists officials with legal problems, The GOP’s mug-shot primary.  That is one of the reasons The Celestial Wheel has predicted many incumbents will lose in the November 4 midterm elections.

Saturn is weak has he approaches the end of his nearly 3 year stay in Libra, getting ready to shift into Scorpio November 2.  While all planets become weak at the sign/house edge -- like water current is weak at shallow stream bank, Saturn is particularly difficult for he is so slow. Thereby, Saturn, the great malefic, withholds his worst harms until the last weeks of a sign transit.  Saturn is the planet of service and thereby government officials --giving a confirming karma to incumbents being tossed out in the election.  Libra is the seventh sign of relationships.  In the U.S. chart, Libra is the eleventh house of friends/groups/goals. Saturn will be causing havoc with all these significations this month -- which certainly fits with election troubles.

Mercury turns retrograde October 3 for three weeks ending October 24.  This weakens it.  And, during the retrograde, it runs into Rahu. Then it runs into Rahu again after turning forward October 30.  This creates tremendous anxiety -- feeling under attack.  Clear thinking will be very difficult.  Accidents can result.  Use care in communicating.

The Sun and the Moon will be afflicted, for this is the eclipse season -- for the word eclipse means to block.  Again, the eclipses are October 8 total lunar 21 degrees Pisces: October 23 partial solar 6 degrees Libra. Unfortunately, poor Venus will be right in the eclipse path on the solar eclipse. An so will be Mercury.

Mars is strong in his own sign, but not so good for this being hidden dangers Scorpio.  Too, remember malefics bring harm when too strong.  For the U.S., this is the twelfth house of loss and far and distant places.  From there, Mars aspects the sixth house of enemies, conflicts an foreigners.  So, the U.S. planet of war is bombing the Mideast again.  Mars went into Scorpio September 5 and leaves that sign October 18. The Celestial Wheel previously stated on September 16, the U.S. chart is also running tough minor Dasa planets until September 21. ...It seems U.S. efforts in the Mideast will be a rocky road for the next ten days.

Interestingly, last Thursday NPR had aired the program, In India, Science And Astrology Comfortably Coexist. In that, the famous K.N. Rao in India stated, "The USA and Obama will be in a very aggressive mood, till the 19th of October. You'll see major aggressive decision taken by the USA," he said.  Rao's point is also correct about Obama.  He's pushing ahead relentlessly now.  This air war against ISIS could be very good politically for him and thereby the Democrats. It will remain targeted and limited to weakening ISIS so that countries it has infected can control it.

When Mars transits into Sagittarius October 20, that will be into the first house in the U.S. chart.  He will aspect the seventh house of the other -- other persons.  Then, instead of fighting against enemies abroad, the U.S. will be fighting itself.  With all the other planetary challenges this month, the elections will be a real brawl.  The outcomes of many races may not be agreed upon for a long time after November 4.

The September 16 entry closed with, Now, it's time to gird your loins.

The (above) October 2 VedicLeaks was titled Struggling Through October.   Through the weekend and the October 23 Solar eclipse is a peak interval.

.

Below is a chart for today, using the natural zodiac beginning with Aries. This signifies global planetary karmas.  Note Venus and Mercury are sandwiched between malefics, the hot Sun and voracious Rahu -- the head of the dragon eclipse point. This is Virgo, the sign of illness and discords.

There's a lot of Mercury mental stress and Venusian unhappiness. As Venus is vehicles, use care in driving! Rahu being airplanes and other flying machines, indicates problems in that area, which can involve the Mideast struggles.

Note that Mars, which is contagious, Pitta type infections, is in the terrible 8th house of Scorpio -- death, scandals, chronic illness, catastrophe...

With 4 planets in sickness Virgo, and Mars in Scorpio, Ebola worsens, which will continue until at least November 4.  Then, the Sun, Mercury and Venus will have escaped Virgo.  However, a lot of the Ebola coverage is hype, and worries are heightened by afflicted Mercury and Venus.

Don't panic. Take is easy and avoid stressful situations and people.

This is a classic Mercury retrograde when the planet of communications is also weak and afflicted. Too the Celestial Wheel has predicted lots of campaign problems,

Vedic Astrology uses transits as well but additionally applies Dasas (planetary cycles) to predict.  Dasas can only be calculated for individual charts.  There is no World Chart.

For the individual charts, transits lift up or drop down the person, nation..., but always in relationship to the Dasas.  Some of this analyses considers the individual charts of the U.S. President Obama and others for the combined transit and Dasa analysis.  Vedic Astrology also uses transits calculated from the natural zodiac to measure global karmas.

The benefic planets are all headed into excellent positions. In fact, Mercury is already there in its sign of Gemini, where it stays until July 28.  Venus will shift into her own Taurus on June 19, where she will reside until July 13.  Finally, Jupiter, the great benefic, goes into Cancer, his exalted sign, on June 20.  He'll shine there for a year. So, starting June 19, the planetary skies will brighten with optimism and opportunity.

Take advantage of that to improve your situation and enjoy the summer as well.

.....another very unusual planetary configuration -- five planets either exalted or in their own signs.  Exaltations: Jupiter in Cancer, Mercury in Virgo and Saturn in Libra.  Own sign: Sun in Leo, Mars in Scorpio.
