Planetary Transits for January 24

– January 30

 

Sun transits Capricorn, from 09:38 to 16:45°. 

Sun is outside the orb of influence of other planets.  This is good for long-term leadership planning.

 

Moon is waning and transits Cancer, Leo,

Virgo, and Libra.

 

Mars transits Gemini, from 00:23 to 00:06°. 

Mars is retrograde until Jan. 30, weak until Feb. 29, and under the

influence of Rahu until March 11.  (This

impacts the stock market and problems relative to fire, property, explosions, police,

military, executives, etc.)  Mars remains

in Gemini until April 28. 

 

Mercury transits Capricorn from 28:02 to

29:21°, weak in old age state.  Mercury

is weak until Feb. 5, and retrograde Jan. 28 – Feb. 18.

 

Jupiter transits its mooltrikona sign,

Sagittarius, from 14:16 to 15:46°, closely conjunct Venus, Jan. 27

– Feb. 6.  Taurus, Scorpio, and

Pisces rising signs should be careful and patient.

 

Venus transits Sagittarius, from 05:55 to 14:31°, closely conjunct Jupiter, Jan.

27 – Feb. 6. Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising signs should be careful

and patient. The Writers Guild of America strike can end around Jan. 26, when

Venus is strong. 

 

Saturn transits Leo, from 13:28 to 13:01°, under the close aspect of

Jupiter.  Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn

rising signs should be careful and patient. Saturn is retrograde until May 2.

 

Rahu and Ketu transit Aquarius and Leo,

respectively, from 03:48 to 03:54°.  Persons with rising signs in the 2 to 4-degree

range, or with planets in odd signs in the 2 to 4-degree range, need to be extra

careful and patient.  (Rahu and Ketu

remain in the 3-degree range until March 26.)

 

Note: 

The transit of Rahu and Ketu in the horoscope of Senator Barack Obama, is particularly difficult through the end of March.  He will need to use a lot of care and

patience in order to avoid serious problems or calamities.
