Planetary Transits for March 8 – March 14

Sun transits out of Aquarius and into Pisces, March 14. Sun is closely conjunct Rahu, under the aspect of Ketu, until March 11. Watch for major news regarding political leaders and governments. (Maj. Gen George Weightman removed from his post. Secretary of the Amy, Francis Harvey resigns. Lewis Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, convicted on federal perjury and obstruction of justice charges.)

Moon transits Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius and into Capricorn. We are in the two-week period between the total lunar eclipse (March 3) and the partial solar eclipse (March 19), while Rahu and Ketu are stationary. This is a vulnerable time. Extra care and patience is strongly advised.

Mercury transits Aquarius, from 01:27 to 03:46°, and is weak in infant state. Be careful with your business and communications.

Mars transits Capricorn, from 13:46 to 19:06°. Mars is in its exaltation sign until March 29. This should be good for property transactions.

Venus transits out of Pisces and into Aries, March 12. Venus is under the aspect of Jupiter until March 12 and weak until March 16. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising signs should remain patient and cautious.

Jupiter transits Scorpio, from 24:33 to 25:05°, outside the orb of influence of other planets.

Saturn remains retrograde until April 19, and transits Cancer from 25:44 to 25:17°. Saturn is under the aspect of Jupiter until June 5. Taurus, Cancer, and Capricorn rising signs need to be careful and patient.

Rahu and Ketu transit Aquarius and Leo, respectively, stationary at 22:10°, and remain in the 22° range until April 4. This can bring worldwide tension, including political, financial, societal, weather-related and natural-disaster problems. Persons and countries with odd rising signs, or planets in odd signs, around 22°, should be careful, patient, and charitable.
