You must be joking! Venus' deep exaltation is towards the end of

Pisces, and it'll be very powerful until it enters Aries circa 23rd.

What does aspect of Ketu mean?

RAHU AND KETU CAST ASPECTS FIVE, SEVEN AND NINE HOUSES FROM WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED IN EITHER THE NATAL OR TRANSIT CHART.

IN THE CURRENT SITUATION, KETU, OPERATING OUT OF VIRGO AT 08:53 DEGREES, IS CASTING ITS NINTH ASPECT INTO TAURUS, WHERE IT WILL INFLUENCE BOTH SUN AND MERCURY, WHILE IT IS WITHIN A FIVE-DEGREE ORB OF EITHER OF THE TWO PLANETS.

THEN, WHEN SUN AND MERCURY MOVE OUT OF THE 5-DEGREE RANGE OF KETU, (WHEN THEY ARE AROUND 12 DEGREES), THEY WILL WILL NO LONGER BE UNDER THE ASPECT OF KETU.

Pisces, and it'll be very powerful until it enters Aries circa 23rd.

NO, I AM NOT JOKING.

PLANETS TRANSITING THE FIRST FIVE DEGREES OF ANY SIGN ARE CONSIDERED WEAK IN INFANT STATE (BALAVASTHA)

PLANETS TRANSITING THE LAST FIVE DEGREES OF ANY SIGN ARE CONSIDERED WEAK IN OLD AGE STATE, (VRIDHDHAVASTHA OR MRITAVASTHA).

ALTHOUGH EXALTED, VENUS WILL BE WEAK BETWEEN 25 DEGREES PISCES AND FIVE DEGREES ARIES.

THIS CAN BE TESTED BY WATCHING THE SIGNIFICATIONS OF VENUS DURING THIS TIME.

BEST WISHES,

DAVID HAWTHORNE
