Retrograde Saturn (November 22 - April 6, 2006)
Saturn has been retrograde since November 22 and is going to stay retrograde till
April 6, 2006. For those who have a well placed Saturn in their birth charts and
if Saturn's period is currently in operation, then they are likely to experience
slower progress. Best way to deal with retrograde Saturn is to put more energy in
to whatever you do to work towards your goal.
On
the world scene, generally, the projects that deal with expansion are likely to
either stay on hold or experience sluggish progress. In religious world,
things are likely to move at frustratingly slow rate. In the political arena what may seem like progress
will turn out to be a disaster.
Saturn-Rahu
trine (Saturn-Ketu sextile) (Nov
5 - April 14, 2006)
Saturn-Rahu
trine is usually favorable for those who have lunar nodes favorably
placed in their natal charts with respect to Saturn. 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 your desired goals 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.
Mars-Pluto Quincunx (Feb 7 - 12)
This six-day period is likely to be very
frustrating for those who have Mars-Pluto opposition, quincunx, square, or
conjunction in their natal charts. Typically this quincunx is very unfavorable
from the point of view that one might face situations that are beyond his/her
control. Unexpected problems
are likely to occur with astonishing
speed and without any notice. If you have such quincunx, opposition or
conjunction in your birth
chart, and if any one of these planets is influencing you through the
current progressive cycle then you need to be on guard. Stay very low key, do not make any new commitment, and avoid taking any sort of risk. Also,
experiences like a sudden incident of fire, or an accident involving explosive
material are very possible.
On the world scene, sudden outbreak of an
undesirable happening, possibilities of both natural and
man-made calamities are likely. The countries that are most likely to be affected during
this period will be: the United States of America, Iraq, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan,
Palestine and Israel.
Neptune-Jupiter
square (Jan
16 - Mar 27)
Both Jupiter and Neptune are considered as auspicious
planets. While Jupiter deals with outward and material things Neptune's
influence on us is very abstract and subtle. For those who have
such square in their birth charts, and if they have any one of these planets
influencing them through the current progressive cycle are certainly going to
experience a period of test and confusion with regards to their beliefs and moral
values that they have been attached to. It's time to reflect! It's time to stay
course with regards to moral values. Your surroundings and apparent nature
of people surrounding you is likely to be deceptive but just hang in there for a
while.
On the world scene, world religions are likely to be
challenged with earthshaking ideas that they must attend to. New controversial
issues will take the central stage in the religious world. Religious leaders
will be challenged as they are going to be put on the test . Those who are willing to be open minded and ready to listen and act on new
and fresh ideas without losing morality, are the ones that going to be responsible to
guide people. Others are likely to fade away with time.
Pluto-Saturn
ninefold opposition (Feb 13 - 19)
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. Eastern European countries, Russia, and China may
experience political or social turmoil.
Pluto-Rahu ninefold opposition (and Ketu-Pluto
ninefold conjunction) (Feb 15 - 23)
Unless these planets are favorably placed in your birth chart, such opposition or squares
between Pluto and lunar nodes, in general, means drastic changes
(transformations) pertaining to aspects of your life described by the houses
they belong to. Usually such transformations are accompanied with severe pains
if lunar node Rahu (or Ketu), and/or Pluto is affecting your life via your current
progressive chart. In my opinion, best way to deal with this situation is
to (which is not easy to do) accept it (the inevitable change), and move on with
your life. There's no point in brooding over it, and not letting your past go. Just
believe that on long term basis, such changes are good for you.
On a collective level, an eruption of new waves of
violence in the Palestine-Israel and Kashmir regions are likely. And perhaps,
towards the end of this period (due to Pluto's
transformation process) the resulting changes are likely to become irreversible.
In addition, world religions in general,
and religious leaders in particular, may experience themselves having to go
through crisis that demand changes. In other words, the orthodox religious
leaders may come under social and moral pressures to change the way they handle
their responsibilities.
Neptune-Rahu
(and Ketu) ninefold square(s) (Jan 31 -
Feb 7)
Neptune-Rahu
(and Ketu) ninefold squares are going to be very unfavorable for those who have
such squares in their natal charts. Expect sudden loss of money, power, demotions
at work place and/or tarnished reputation in professional and social
fields. 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. Remember
you never suspected a closed friend, and you suddenly find out that he or she
secretly doing things behind your back to hurt you....well something similar is
likely to happen....be careful!
On a collective level, secret activities all around
the world are likely to accelerate including political covert activities. Social
confusion and chaos in countries like Russia and China is a good possibility.
Pluto-Uranus
ninefold sextile (Jan
21 - Feb 15)
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. 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.
On a collective level, this is an extraordinary time for
technological discoveries and inventions. Expect some new
important technological breakthroughs during this period. For the United States, in
general, this period is going to be remarkable and very successful.
