Pluto's
entry in the sidereal zodiac sign Sagittarius (Jan 28 - May 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.
In scientific and
technological areas lot of drastic changes and emerging new ideas will
find their way into innovations and discoveries. The
scientific and technological growth rate will rise at a very rapid pace.
However, it will be the first time the scientific and technological research
will be more focused in areas that will bridge the gap between the science and
morality. The likely areas of research will be in biotechnology, medicine,
spiritual healing, and life-force related activities. A
new wave of philosophers with their new perspectives on living, in general, will certainly
transform our world in next 15 years to a new level of understanding.
On
individual level for those who have Sagittarius ninefold ascendant should get ready
for a brand new cycle of change, especially a very pronounced cycle if Pluto is
a dominant planet in your birth charts. The changes that might occur would be
very subtle and would deal with pretty much all aspects of your life including
relationship, marriage,
profession, surroundings, common perceptions and beliefs, and the way of living.
Neptune-Uranus ninefold opposition (Oct 29 - Jan 25)
If in your birth chart Neptune
opposes or conjuncts 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 a totally new and
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),
meeting a person who is going to influence your life in a very dramatic fashion,
unexpected financial windfall, unexpected severe depression, finding your center
that you were always wanting to, etc.
At a collective level, the manifestation of
Neptune-Uranus ninefold opposition will reflect in sudden change (either
positive and negative) in relationship between USA and Russia (and countries of
former Soviet Union) and magnificent advances in science and technology through
innovations, inventions, and discoveries.
Saturn-Rahu ninefold sextile (and Saturn-Ketu
ninefold trine)
(Nov 11 - Jan 10)
If through your current progressive chart influence of
either Saturn or lunar node is active and if Saturn is favorably positioned with
respect to lunar nodes in your natal chart expect a very favorable time. Such positive events will be related to the affairs signified by the
houses these planets occupy or aspects. For example if the seventh house is
involved, expect a new and positive development in a relationship, or business
partnership, or success in capturing the audience if you deal with masses. If
eleventh house is involved November and December may financially prove to be rewarding
months.
On a collective level, this is a good period for
European economy. It is also good for progress in technical
fields (new innovations and discoveries) and religious reconciliation.
Uranus-Saturn ninefold opposition (Jan 7 - 11)
In general, Saturn-Uranus ninefold opposition is
not good for those who have such opposition or square in their birth charts. In
addition, if the planet Uranus or Saturn is affecting your life via your current
progressive chart, then you might want to consider
taking extra precautions in the areas which are affected by these planets as
shown in your natal chart. Such people should avoid taking any kind of
risk at any cost during this period. Such opposition can make things so
miserable and difficult for you that most likely you are not going to forget them in your
entire life. Staying low
key is certainly the way to go. Avoid any new ventures and postpone the
matters that you want to begin till this period is passed.
On a collective level, the United States of America, Russia or China may experience
social or political turmoil at home as well as tensions rising among them.
Pluto-Saturn quincunx (Jan 11 - 28)
For those who have quincunx, square, or opposition of Pluto and Saturn in
their horoscope, and for those whose current planetary operating cycle is
influenced by either of these planets are likely to experience a severe setback
or turmoil in their lives. Such quincunx can become a very strong force
to destroy the current setting of your lifestyle due to misfortune or things
beyond control and transform it to a totally
new life 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 a irreversible event.
On
the collective level, expect another outbreak of violence and terrorist
activities, a good possibility of 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 will remain unabated. Some of the east-European
countries, Russia, and China may experience political as well as social turmoil.
Uranus-Rahu
ninefold trine (Uranus-Ketu ninefold sextile) (Jan
9-15)
Uranus-Rahu
trine is going to be very favorable for those who have lunar nodes favorably
placed in their natal charts with respect to Uranus. If such placing is
connected to the first house, second house, ninth house, tenth house, or
eleventh house then expect monetary as well as power gains, promotions and
improved prestige in professional and social fields. The ideas that you
always wanted to pursue but somehow could never get started....now is the time
to follow that dream. You will distinctly notice and feel the positive energy
flowing through you during this period. It's time to jump in and enjoy
this period.
Neptune-Ketu ninefold trine (Jan 10-17)
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-Uranus Square (Dec 29 - Jan 2)
These four-to-five days are going to
witness Mars-Uranus square. Typically this square offers very unfavorable
results with astonishing speed and without any notice. 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. Also, experiences like a sudden incident of fire,
or an accident, or missing or drowning of a child are the doings of this square.
On the world scene, expect some sudden outbreak of an
undesirable happening, and strong possibilities of both natural and man-made
calamities. The countries that are most likely to be affected during these four
days would be the United States of America, Iraq, Pakistan, Palestine and
Israel.
Pluto-Saturn ninefold square (Jan 17 - 22)
If in your birth chart Pluto makes square with Saturn,
and if either of these planets is currently influencing your life via your
current progressive chart, then you want to consider taking extra precaution in
dealing with money matters, people at work, and especially with your adversaries. In
general, this is the time to stay low key and not be aggressive. Be cautious and
alert as much as possible. Do not trust anybody during this period.
On a collective level, Russia is likely to face with
some serious challenges and perhaps sudden changes. To some extent China
is also going to have a similar experience. In the United States, the republic
party may have to deal with an embarrassing situation.
Neptune-Saturn ninefold conjunction (Jan 8 - 12)
If
you have either a Neptune-Saturn conjunction, square, or opposition in your birth chart, and
if your current planetary operating cycle is
influenced by either of these planets then you are likely to experience a subtle
but serious financial or social setback or an unpleasant secret will be
revealed to you. If you are planning to take a long distance (overseas) trip
during this period, be extra careful of nasty surprises, or even being stranded
in places you never dream of.
On
the collective level, covert activities will be on rise. Possibilities of natural as well as man-made
calamities are very likely. Places like Russia and China are likely to
experience political and social turmoil. Non-democratic countries are likely to
see shift of power from one faction (or dictator) to another. Media around the
world may come under pressure and become defensive in their news reporting. Religious
activities around the world will likely to appear more secretive than open.
Mars-Pluto Conjunction (Jan 27 - 30)
Typically Mars-Pluto conjunction, which occurs about
once every two years, offers very sudden
and extremely undesirable result with astonishing speed. For those who have
such conjunction in their birth charts, and if they have any one of these planets
influencing them through the current progressive cycle need be extra careful.
For them perhaps these might prove to be the worst four days of the year. Avoid
making any new commitment and taking any new risk. Also, experiences like a sudden incident of fire,
or an accident, or a financial misfortune are the doings of this conjunction.
On the world scene, terrorism and violence are likely to
escalate, especially in Israel-Palestine and Iraq
region. Also, sudden outbreak of an
undesirable happening, and strong possibilities of both natural and man-made
calamities are very likely. The countries that are most likely to be affected during these four
days would be Pakistan, and the middle eastern countries, especially Iraq, Palestine and
Israel.
