Rahu-Jupiter
opposition (Ketu-Jupiter conjunction) (Aug
14 - 22)
While Rahu-Jupiter opposition is likely to temporarily
favor orthodox and ultra conservative religious authorities, it also is going to
sow seed of self destruction for those authorities. Some sort of religious
upheaval or conflict is likely to surface in the later part of the year.
For
those who have favorable Rahu-Jupiter aspect in their birth charts are likely to
see some positive changes occurring in their lives during this period.
However for those who have lunar nodes squaring with the Jupiter are likely to
face some rough time during this period.
On
a collective level, besides its influence on religion as stated above, Rahu-Jupiter
opposition
may become responsible in slowing down social progress, humanitarian efforts,
and charity work. The morality, in general, is likely to take
backseat.
Neptune-Jupiter trine (Aug 13 - 22)
This auspicious trine is good for all world religions as
well as for people who are engaged in activities that help us expand morally,
socially as well as materially.
For those who have well placed Jupiter and Neptune in
their birth chart (conjunction, trine, sextile, opposition) are likely to
experience very positive time during this period. People involved
in the religious activities are likely experience a sudden boost in their daily
activities, and religious authorities are going to be well recognized by
societies.
On a collective level, religious, academic, and social
fields are very likely to enjoy the new and positive changes occurring in their
respective field.
Neptune-Ketu ninefold trine (Aug 1 - Sept 27)
For
those who have well placed Neptune, and if she is in trine with any of the two
lunar nodes, and are presently being influenced by any of these planets
(Neptune, Rahu, or Ketu) through their current operating cycles, are likely to
experience a very positive period. Rise in self confident, strong intuitive
power, and in general feeling great about everything around are some of the
symptoms that you are likely to enjoy.
Collectively
on global scene, this period is very positive for Russia and China. Also, most of the
technological areas are likely to make significant progress via inventions and
discoveries. Spiritual and religious activities are likely to impart positive
energy and create a very healthy atmosphere around us.
Mars-Neptune Square (Aug 25 - 31)
These six days of August are going to witness Mars-Neptune
square. Typically this square is very unfavorable and
unfortunate in general. For those who have such square in their birth
chart, and if they have any one of these planets influencing them through the
current progressive cycle need be extra careful. The best thing to do is to lay low
key, not make any new commitment, and avoid taking any sort of risk.
On the world scene, expect some sudden outbreak of an
undesirable happening, good possibility of both natural and
man-made calamities. The countries that are most likely to be affected during
these days would be Pakistan and Russia.
Mars-Saturn square (July 29 - Aug 2)
Mars-Saturn square, for no apparent reason,
changes a perfectly normal and healthy situation in to the one with a lot of
tension and friction with new challenges. For those who have
such square in their birth charts, and if any one of these planets are influencing them through the current progressive cycles certainly need to be on
guard. If you must involve in an unwanted
situation, be extra careful and try to minimize the damage. Experiences like fire burns,
rape, accidents, loss of precious things, and monetary disasters are real
possibilities.
On the world scene, a short term but very intensive
friction between India and Pakistan is very likely. Terrorism and violence,
especially in Israel-Palestine area will be on rise. Outbreak of an
undesirable happening, and strong occurrences of both natural and man-made
calamities are real possibilities.
Saturn-Rahu
(and Ketu)
ninefold square(s) (Aug
28 -31)
Saturn-Rahu
(and Ketu) ninefold squares are going to be devastating for those who have such
squares in their natal charts. Anything that you attempt will be failed or
result in agonizing and frustrating experience. This is not the time to take any
risk. If you have such squares in your birth
chart, and if any one of these planets is presently influencing you through the
current progressive cycle then you need be extra careful. The best thing to do is not make any new commitment, and
totally avoid taking any business or monetary risk.
On a collective level, barbaric activities all around
the world are likely to increase. Terrorists are likely to be successful in
creating confusion and chaos. Social turmoil in Europe and Russia is likely.
Religious activities could get stalled for no apparent reason.
Neptune-Saturn ninefold square (Aug 28 - Sept 1)
If you have Neptune-Saturn square in your birth chart,
and if any one of these two planets influencing you now through your current
progressive chart, then during this period you might want to consider
postponing your plans of expansion or any new venture, and just be in defensive
mode. This square has a tendency to ruin your plans in a very deceptive
manner, and usually there is very little you can do about it once the process
begins.
On a collective level, countries like China and Russia
may face some difficult time during this period.
Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx (May 26 - Sept 12)
On an individual level, if in your birth chart Neptune
is in quincunx with Uranus, and if either of these planets is currently influencing your
life via your current
progressive chart, then you are very likely to be affected by this unique
configuration..
Depending on the strength of these planets and houses they
occupy in your birth chart, you are going to have a sudden and totally new and a very
unique experience in that particular field. Be ready to embrace this powerful
and spontaneous
experience. Some of the likely scenarios are unexpected move (change of
residence), unexpected job change (or change of surrounding at work place), unexpected severe depression,
and frustration.
At a collective level, the manifestation of
Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx will reflect in sudden change (negative) in relationship between USA and Russia (and countries of
former Soviet Union).
Pluto-Saturn
ninefold opposition (July 30 - August 3)
For those who have
a conjunction, square, or opposition of Pluto
and Saturn in their birth charts, and for those whose current planetary operating
cycle is influenced by either of these planets are likely to experience a setback or turmoil in their lives. Such opposition can become a very
strong force to destroy the current setting of your lifestyle and transform it
to a totally new setting which may or may not be desirable depending on the
strength and positive influence of these planets in the natal chart. In any
event it's going to be an irreversible situation.
On
the collective level, expect the outbreak of violence and terrorist activities,
natural as well as man-made calamities, and to some extent, war-like climate in
some parts of the world. Tension between Israelis and Palestinians is likely to
escalate again at a new level. A few eastern European countries, Russia, and China may
experience political or social turmoil.
Pluto's
temporary return to the sidereal zodiac sign Scorpio (May 28 - Nov 28)
One
of the important planetary events of this year is the transit of the modern planet
Pluto from the sidereal zodiac sign Scorpio to Sagittarius. It first occurs on
January 28. Pluto stays in Sagittarius till May 28, and then with its retrograde motion
returns to Scorpio and stays
in Scorpio till November 28. After November 28, 2005 it will remain in
Sagittarius for the following 14 to15 years (till February 2020). Although
it's going to be in Sagittarius for only about 4 months before it returns to Scorpio, Pluto being the planet
of transformation will certainly affect the matters related to Sagittarius in a big way.
The drastic changes in our collective moral and religious perceptions are
certainly going to be manifested in the way we never experienced before by
Pluto's transit in Sagittarius. This era (next 15 years) will be remembered as
the period of religious revolution. The way we have been used to deal with
religions will no longer be our norms. Although it's very likely that some
of the world religions will either become obsolete or transformed into other
forms the religious or moral codes will be greatly influenced by our collective
spiritual experiences. And in that sense a subtle but most effective
transformation of world religions during this unique era of 15 years is likely
to take us to a level where the norms solely based on spiritual experiences will
dictate and guide our lives with new level of understanding.
During
its temporary return to Scorpio (May 28 - Nov 28) the natural as well as
man-made disasters will be on rise, the Palestine-Israel region will lot more of
violence and terrorism. The insurgency in Iraq will escalate, and in
general, the world becomes more anxiety-stricken.
On
individual level for those who have Scorpio ninefold ascendant should become
careful and prepare for a period of a potential turmoil, especially if Pluto is
a dominant planet in your birth charts.
