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.
Retrograde Mercury (Mar 20 - Apr 12)
On March 20, the planet Mercury becomes retrograde in
Pisces.
It will stay retrograde until April 12 in Pisces. Typically retrograde
Mercury means anxieties, communication breakdowns, unexpected delays,
frustrations, missing deadlines, unforeseen obstacles and disappointment in
daily chores. Retrograde Mercury in Pisces means
more frustrating periods for anthropologists, religious leaders, reformers,
philosophers, and volunteers. This is the time not to start
a new project or venture, but rather reflect on what's been done so far.
Also, this is the best time to cleanup that closet and do other chores that you
have been postponing due to lack of time.
In addition, if you have dominating Mercury in your birth chart, and if
your current planetary cycle provides the results of Mercury then you are more
likely to experience the pronounced effects of retrograde Mercury during this
period.
Pluto-Rahu trine (and Pluto-Ketu sextile) (Feb 27 -
Apr 1)
If through your current progressive chart influence of
either Pluto or lunar node is active and if Pluto is favorably positioned with
respect to lunar nodes in your natal chart expect a very favorable time during
March. A positive event 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 it may financially prove to be a very rewarding
month
On a collective level, this is a good period for
European economy. This period is also good for progress in technical
fields (new innovations and discoveries) and religious reconciliation.
Neptune-Jupiter trine (March 7 - 20)
This auspicious trine is good for all world religions as
well as for people who are engaged in activities that help us expand
spiritually, 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 period 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.
Mars-Saturn Opposition (Mar 6 - 9 )
Mars-Saturn opposition, for no apparent reason,
changes a perfectly normal and healthy situation in to the one with a lot of
tension and friction. For those who have
such opposition in their birth charts, and if they have any one of these planets
influencing them through the current progressive cycles certainly need to be on
guard. Simply lay back. 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.
Mars-Rahu, and Mars-Ketu Squares (March 11 - 14 )
From March 11 through March 14 Mars makes square
to each of the lunar nodes. Typically these squares are very unfavorable and
unfortunate in general. For those who have these squares in their birth
chart, and if they have any one of these planets influencing them through the
current progressive cycle need be 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 both natural and
man-made calamities causing destruction and loss of lives during these four days
in March
Uranus-Ketu
ninefold trine (Uranus-Rahu ninefold sextile) (Mar
12-17)
Uranus-Ketu
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.
Pluto-Uranus
ninefold sextile (March
9 -22)
Uranus-Pluto
sextile is going to be very favorable for those who have these planets favorably
placed in their natal charts. Expect monetary as well as power gains,
promotions and improved prestige in professional and social fields.
On a collective level, this is an extraordinary time for
technological discoveries and inventions. Expect some new
important technological breakthroughs..
