Retrograde Mercury (Oct 29 - Nov 18)
On October 29, the planet Mercury became retrograde in
sidereal Scorpio. With its retrograde motion it will enter Libra on November 2,
and then it will stay retrograde until November 18 in Libra. Typically retrograde
Mercury means anxieties, communication breakdowns, unexpected delays,
frustrations, missing deadlines, unforeseen obstacles and disappointment in
daily chores. Retrograde Mercury in Scorpio means
more frustrating periods for risk takers, explorers, entrepreneurs, military
personnel; retrograde Mercury in Libra means more frustrating and agonizing
period for entertainers, film industry, artists, and people involved with the
judicial branch of the government. 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 with respect to matters signified by the house it's transiting in your
progressive chart.
Jupiter's
transit in the sidereal zodiac sign Scorpio (October 27)
On
October 27, Jupiter leaves (sidereal) Libra and enters the next zodiac sign,
Scorpio. Jupiter's transit from one zodiac sign to the next occurs, on
average, once a year. Scorpio being a fixed and water sign ruled by Mars,
Jupiter in Scorpio being a close friend of Mars, has a tendency to enhance
creativity and physical capacities of Mars for those who
have well placed and connected Mars and Jupiter in their birth charts. For one thing
dynamic activities such as sports activities, friction in the form of war or
terrorism, chaos, etc., and political maneuvering around the world is likely to
expand at a phenomenal rate. However, because of Jupiter's auspicious influence
the final outcome or world transformation is certainly going to be positive for
collective happiness. Military personnel around the world are likely to enjoy
public support,
and as a result, the dealing with adversaries would likely to become relatively
easy from success standpoint. In addition, the influence of contemporary
spiritual leaders on society will shape
the future direction of our social evolution through the theosophical and
metaphysical debates. In general, Scorpio Jupiter is known to be responsible
for leading the world towards more spiritual direction through visible action. So from that perspective
witness some positive human evolution related changes during this period and welcome the Jupiter's entry in
Scorpio.
On
individual levels, for those who have dominant Jupiter in their birth charts and
have Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces, Taurus, or Cancer as their natal ninefold
ascendant are likely to experience a very positive twelve months period
beginning October 27.
Saturn's
transit in the sidereal zodiac sign Leo (October 29)
On October 29, 2006 Saturn will enter the sidereal zodiac
sign Leo, and it will remain in Leo till January 13, 2007. It returns to Cancer on January
14 via its retrograde motion (actually becomes retrograde on December 6, 2006) and will stay in
Cancer till July 14, 2007 before reentering in Leo.
Leo being the fire and fixed sign, for the next two
and half years, Saturn will strongly influence the world politics and economy. Those who have Saturn in
sidereal Leo will see their
lives transformed to a new settings due to a drastic change (mostly at emotional
and psychological level). In my opinion, it's going to be a very positive and
exciting two and half years for those who have dominant Saturn in their birth
chart and have Gemini, Pisces, Scorpio, and Libra as their natal ninefold
ascendant.
On a collective level, in the next two and half years,
on a world political scene, countries like United Kingdom and China will make news
headlines. Direct confrontation between superpowers in most part of the world will be on rise.
Terrorism or terrorist activities will also be on rise.
Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx (Nov 18, 2006 - Jan
31, 2007)
On an individual level, if in your birth chart Neptune
quincunxes 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 quincunx..
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 a very
undesirable experience in that particular field. Be prepare to face this powerful
and painful
experience. Some of the likely scenarios are unexpected loss of money or job,
demotion, business downturn,
meeting a person who is likely to cause you lot of anguish in your life, and
perhaps unexpected severe depression.
At a collective level, the manifestation of
Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx will reflect in sudden change in relationship between USA and Russia (and countries of
former Soviet Union) for worse. Advances in science and technology through
innovations, inventions, and discoveries are likely to slow down.
Pluto-Saturn trine (Nov 1 - Dec 5)
If through your current progressive chart influence of
either Pluto or Saturn is active and if Pluto is favorably positioned with
respect to Saturn in your natal chart expect a very favorable time during this
period. 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 it may financially prove to be a very rewarding
period.
On a collective level, this is a good period for
European and Russian economy. This period is also good for progress in technical
fields (new innovations and discoveries) and religious reconciliation.
Mars-Neptune Square (Nov 16 - 19)
These four days are going to be influenced by 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 three days would be Pakistan and Russia.
Mars-Saturn square (Nov 27 - Dec 1)
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
around the world,
especially in Iraq and Israel-Palestine area will be on rise. Outbreak of an
undesirable happening, and occurrences of both natural and man-made
calamities are strong possibilities.
Pluto-Ketu ninefold trine (and Pluto-Rahu sextile)
(Nov 13 - 20)
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
this period. 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 may financially prove to be a very rewarding
period.
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.
Saturn-Ketu
ninefold trine (Saturn-Rahu sextile) (Nov
21 - 29)
Saturn-Ketu
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.
