Although it’s very difficult to predict the influence of planetary energy on a given individual without referring to his or her birth chart the following is intended only as a general guideline. For confirmation, however, you must refer to your birth chart. Based on the assessment of planetary strengths or weaknesses in your birth chart, placement of planets in your Gochar (transit) and ninefold Gochar (transit) chart and the current operating planets, the following may be applicable.

Pluto-Neptune ninefold quincunx (Dec 21 – March 31)

If you have a quincunx, square, or opposition of Pluto with Neptune in your birth chart, and either one of these planets is active in your Gochar (transit) chart, you are likely to experience subtle setbacks due to deceptive or confusing surroundings. Such planetary aspects can create a strong force of illusion, leading to internal and external confusion. During this time, it can be challenging to remain calm, and the best course of action is to avoid starting anything new and simply endure the situation with patience.

On a collective level, this planetary alignment may result in the outbreak of violence and terrorist activities, particularly in Russia, Ukraine, and the Middle East, with Syria, Iraq, Israel, and the Palestinian regions being the most affected. Additionally, both natural and man-made disasters are likely. Some Eastern European countries, Ukraine, Russia, and China may also experience political and social upheaval during this period.

Pluto-Uranus ninefold sextile (Feb 4 –April 4)

The Uranus-Pluto ninefold sextile is highly favorable for individuals who have these planets well-placed in their natal charts. You can expect gains in both monetary and power dynamics, along with promotions and enhanced prestige in professional and social arenas. This period is ideal for pursuing long-held dreams or ideas that you’ve struggled to initiate. You’ll feel a distinct surge of positive energy during this time, making it a perfect moment to dive in and take action.

On a collective level, this is an extraordinary period for technological advancements, with significant breakthroughs and discoveries likely to emerge. For the United States, in particular, this phase promises to be remarkable and highly successful.

Neptune-Saturn conjunction (Feb 8 – March 4)

If you have a Neptune-Saturn conjunction or opposition in your birth chart, and if in your Gochar (transit) chart either of these planets is active, 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. However, on the spiritual level, you might have extraordinary experience making you free from worldly material bondage.

On the collective level, covert activities will be on rise. 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. Religious activities around the world will likely to appear more secretive than open. 

Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx (Feb 13 – April 29)

If Neptune quincunxes Uranus in your birth chart and either of these planets is currently active in your Gochar (transit) chart, you’re likely to feel the effects of this quincunx. The strength and placement of these planets in your birth chart will determine the intensity of the experience. Prepare for the possibility of an unexpected, entirely new, and potentially undesirable situation in the area of life these planets influence. This could manifest as an unexpected financial setback, job instability, demotion, a downturn in business, meeting someone who causes significant distress, or experiencing severe and sudden depression.

On a collective level, the Neptune-Uranus ninefold quincunx may signal a sudden deterioration in the relationship between the USA and Russia, as well as other former Soviet Union countries. Additionally, advancements in science and technology—especially those involving innovations, inventions, and discoveries—could experience stagnation or setbacks during this period.

Rahu-Jupiter ninefold sextile (Ketu-Jupiter ninefold trine)  (March 5-17)

The Jupiter-Rahu sextile is favorable for individuals with such a sextile in their natal charts. Finding a balance between optimism and pessimism is the key to avoiding extremes of over-optimism or aggression, as well as excessive protectiveness. If you have this sextile in your birth chart and if either of these planets is currently active in your transit (Gochar) chart, you’re likely to experience this period with enthusiasm and success, as it aligns naturally with your abilities. Enjoy this time to the fullest!

On a collective level, religions worldwide will thrive in their activities, fostering positive experiences. People are likely to be persuaded of the importance of moral values and will find it easy to maintain their religious faith.

Pluto-Jupiter ninefold conjunction (March 10-25)

This is a significant planetary event, particularly for those involved in religion, religious institutions, and academic fields. The conjunction of Pluto and Jupiter carries powerful transformative potential. Pluto, with its intense and irreversible energy, has the capacity to reshape and elevate the realms of religion and academia, introducing new frameworks, revised norms, and deeper philosophical directions.

In your birth chart, if Jupiter and Pluto are in conjunction or opposition—and if either of these planets is currently active in your Gochar (transit) chart—you may find yourself standing on the threshold of a new era in your life. This alignment signals profound growth and expansion through transformation. Depending on the houses these planets occupy in your natal chart, you are likely to encounter a completely new and markedly different experience in the areas they govern.

Be prepared to embrace this emerging phase with openness. It may bring new challenges, but it also carries substantial rewards and opportunities for meaningful advancement.

On a collective level, religious, academic, and to some extent social institutions are likely to undergo noticeable shifts. Changes within these fields may unfold rapidly. The initial reaction to such transformation could appear confusing or even somewhat chaotic. However, over time, the majority are likely to adjust to—and ultimately welcome—this new wave of change.

Neptune-Jupiter ninefold quincunx (March 11 – April 3)

Both Jupiter and Neptune are considered auspicious planets. Jupiter’s energy governs outward expression, expansion, and material or philosophical structures, while Neptune’s energy is abstract, subtle, and deeply spiritual. When these two planets form a ninefold quincunx, their interaction creates a delicate and somewhat uneasy adjustment between the tangible and the intangible realms.

For those who have this quincunx in their birth charts—especially if either Jupiter or Neptune is activated through the Gochar (transit) chart—this period is likely to bring tests and confusion regarding long-held beliefs and moral values. Convictions that once felt solid may seem uncertain. Ideals may be questioned. Faith may feel unsettled.

This is not a time to abandon one’s principles, but rather a time to reflect deeply upon them. It is a period to reassess, refine, and strengthen moral foundations. Staying the course with integrity is essential. The surrounding environment—and even the apparent nature of people around you—may seem deceptive or unclear. Appearances can mislead. Patience is required. If you remain steady and grounded, the fog will eventually lift.

On the world stage, global religions and belief systems are also likely to face significant challenges. Earthshaking ideas may emerge that demand attention and response. New and controversial issues could take center stage in the religious sphere. Religious leaders may find themselves tested—morally, philosophically, and spiritually.

Those who remain open-minded, willing to listen, and ready to engage with fresh perspectives—without compromising core moral principles—are the ones who will be able to guide others responsibly. Leaders who resist growth or refuse introspection may gradually lose relevance and fade over time.

Mars-Rahu conjunction and Mars-Ketu opposition (March 12-13) 

During these few 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.

Neptune-Rahu ninefold quincunx (March 12-18)

If you have Neptune-Rahu quincunx (with either of these planets being especially in the sixth, eighth, or the twelfth house) in your birth chart, and if your Gochar (transit) chart is activated by one of these planets, then you are likely to experience instability in your life caused due to sudden change in your routine activities and/or deceptive surroundings.  Such experience may turn out to be unfortunate and frustrating.  It would certainly be wise not to commit to anything new and stay low key and be very watchful during this period.

On a collective level, social as well as economic turmoil in Russia and China cannot be ruled out.  Covert activities around the world may find a new momentum (but because of Neptune’s secretive character we may never know) with regard to terrorism and other international conflicts.

Uranus-Rahu ninefold conjunction (and Uranus/Ketu opposition)  (Mar 13-20)

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.

Pluto-Saturn sextile (March 19 – April 6)

If, through your Gochar (transit) chart, either Pluto or Saturn is active—and if Pluto is favorably positioned in relation to Saturn in your natal chart—this period can prove to be highly constructive and rewarding. The sextile aspect supports steady progress, disciplined transformation, and the successful restructuring of long-standing matters.

Positive developments are most likely to manifest in the areas of life signified by the houses these planets occupy or aspect. For example, if the seventh house is involved, you may experience new and favorable developments in relationships, business partnerships, or public-facing endeavors. Those who work with large audiences or the masses may find increased acceptance and success during this time.

If the eleventh house is involved, this period may be financially rewarding, bringing gains, fulfillment of long-term goals, and support from networks or influential circles.

On a collective level, this alignment is supportive of economic improvement in Europe and Russia. It is also a favorable period for progress in technical fields, including new innovations and discoveries, as well as for efforts toward religious reconciliation and long-term structural harmony.

Pluto-Saturn ninefold opposition (March 26-31)

For those who have a conjunction, square, or opposition of Pluto and Saturn in their birth charts, and for those whose have either of these planets active in their Gochar (transit) charts are likely to experience a bit of 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, possibility of 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 are likely. In addition to Ukraine-Russia ongoing war, conflict between Israelis and Hamas is likely to escalate again at a new level. Russia  and China may experience political or social turmoil.

Uranus-Saturn ninefold trine (March 27 – April 3)

For individuals who have a Uranus–Saturn trine in their natal charts—particularly if at least one of these planets is currently activated through transit—this is an especially favorable period. Uranus brings innovation and progressive change, while Saturn provides structure, discipline, and stability. Their harmonious alignment allows new ideas to be implemented in practical and sustainable ways.

Depending on the houses involved in your chart, you may experience meaningful and constructive developments in key areas of life. Long-term plans can move forward. Reforms may take shape. Efforts made with patience and responsibility are likely to yield positive results.

On a collective level, this period is supportive of religious and spiritual activities across the world. Established traditions may find renewed vitality through thoughtful reform rather than disruption.

For the United States, this alignment presents a timely opportunity to make notable progress in strengthening its image—both internationally and domestically. Constructive policy decisions, balanced leadership, and responsible innovation can enhance credibility and restore confidence.
