Planetary Transits for August 30 – September 5.

Note: We are in the two-week period between the eclipse of the Moon (Aug. 28) and the eclipse of the Sun, (Sept. 11). Take extra rest, and be careful and patient. This is not an ideal time.

Sun transits its own sign, Leo, from 12:30 to 19:16°, conjunct Ketu, under the aspect of Rahu, until Sept. 5. Watch for major news about government leaders.

Moon is waning and transits Pisces, Aries, Taurus, and into Gemini.

Mercury transits out of Leo and into its own sign, Virgo, Sept. 1. Mercury is weak until Sept. 4.

Mars transits Taurus from 20:17 to 24:19°, under the aspect of Jupiter until September 1.

Saturn transits Leo, from 05:36 to 06:29°, outside the orb of influence of other planets.

Rahu and Ketu transit Aquarius and Leo, respectively, from 13:06 to 13:06° (stationary). Persons with rising signs in the 13-degree range, or with planets in odd signs in the 13-degree range, should be careful and patient through September.

Note: Whenever Rahu and Ketu are stationary for up to three months, there are major difficulties worldwide. Recently we have seen collapsed bridges, coal mines, and stock markets, along with fires, floods, volcanoes, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes.
