Pluto-Neptune ninefold quincunx (April 13 – May 6)

If you have quincunx, square, or opposition of Pluto with Neptune in your birth chart and in your Gochar (transit) chart either of these planets is active then they are likely to experience a subtle setback due to deceptive surroundings around you.  Such quincunx can become a very strong force in creating an illusion and, as a result, confusion around and within you. It can become very difficult to stay cool, and there’s not a whole lot you can do about it except by not venturing out into anything new and bear with the current situation with a grin. 

On a collective level, outbreak of violence and terrorist activities in Russia, Ukraine, Middle east likely, especially in Syria, Iraq, Israel and Palestine region. Also, the occurrences of natural as well as man-made calamities are likely. Some of the east-European countries, Russia, and China may experience political as well as social turmoil.

You will distinctly notice and feel the positive energy flowing through you during this period.  It’s time to jump in and enjoy this spiritual period.

Saturn-Rahu ninefold trine (Saturn-Ketu sextile)  (May 7-11)

Saturn-Rahu ninefold 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 idea that you always wanted to pursue your desired goals but somehow could never get started….now is the time to follow that dream.

Saturn-Jupiter ninefold square (May 15-18)

The energy of the Jupiter-Saturn ninefold square is typically responsible for loss of motivation, insecure feeling, loss of direction in life, general unhappiness and difficulty in keeping the faith in yourself. This is like a test period. A period that can be viewed a real positive from self-discovery standpoint since it will require you to bring best out of you to deal with situations around you.  If you have such a square in your birth chart and if any one of these planets is presently active in your Gochar (transit) chart, then you need to look at the things with a different attitude. The best thing to do is to stay the course of present action without making new commitment. Remember the time when you felt the life is not fair and not worth living, very unsure of yourself, and unhappy with family. Well, that’s how you going to feel this time. Keep your faith strong!

On a collective level, religions around the world will find difficulty in carrying out their activities, more controversies that test traditional moral values are likely to occur, and in general, religious authorities will have difficulty in keeping people happy.

Mars-Rahu conjunction and Mars-Ketu opposition (May 17-19) 

During these three days Mars conjuncts Rahu and opposes Ketu.  Typically Mar’s conjunction and opposition with lunar nodes are very unfavorable and unfortunate in general.  For those who have such oppositions or conjunctions in their birth chart, and if they have any one of these planets currently active in their Gochar (transit) Chart, they need be very careful about the matters indicated by the respective houses in their birth charts.  Probably the best thing to do is to stay low key, not make any new commitment and avoid taking unnecessary risk.  

On the world scene, during these days both natural and man-made calamities causing destruction and loss of lives, and perhaps a demise of an international level political leader are likely.

Uranus-Rahu ninefold conjunction (and Uranus/Ketu opposition)  (May 17-22)

If in your birth chart Uranus is in conjunction with the lunar node Rahu, and if any one of these two planets are active via your Gochar (transit) chart, then you might want to consider taking extra precautions in your professional and financial areas during this period. Staying low key is certainly the way to go.  This conjunction can become dangerous, and ruin your plans and bring about the unexpected disaster in every which way.  In short, during this period you have been tested. If you have strong and positively placed lunar nodes and Uranus in your birth chart, then perhaps you need not worry.

On a collective level, the United States and in particular, the Republican Party and republicans are likely to run into some very difficult period. Also, relationship between USA and Russia and/or that between USA and China may go through a crisis situation during this period.

Neptune-Jupiter sextile (May 19-28)

This auspicious sextile 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.

Neptune-Jupiter ninefold opposition (May 22-24)

Both Jupiter and Neptune are considered as auspicious planets. While Jupiter deals with outward and material things Neptune’s energy is very abstract and subtle. For those who have such opposition in their birth charts, and if they have any one of these planets active through the Gochar (transit) chart, are certainly going to experience a transformation (irreversible change) of their beliefs and moral values that they have been attached to. It’s time for marching ahead with a quantum step in the process of self-discovery (or evolution). Embrace this period with total openness and vulnerability. It’s the time of rejuvenation with a positive force in your life. Enjoy!

On the world scene, world religions are likely to be challenged with earthshaking ideas that they must attend to. Those religious leaders, who are willing to be open minded and ready to listen and act on new and fresh ideas, are the ones that going to be responsible to transform our religious world to a new level. Others are going to fade away with time.
