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.

Neptune-Rahu ninefold sextile (Neptune-Ketu ninefold trine) (May 6-13)

For those with a well-placed Neptune in their birth chart, especially if she is in trine with either of the lunar nodes (Rahu or Ketu), and if any of these planets (Neptune, Rahu, or Ketu) are currently active in their Gochar (transit) chart, this period is likely to bring significant positive experiences. You may feel an increase in self-confidence, heightened intuitive power, and a general sense of well-being. This is a time when everything around you may seem to align, bringing joy and inner peace.

On a collective level, this period is also expected to be very favorable for Russia and China, with positive developments in both political and social arenas. Technological advancements, inventions, and discoveries are likely to thrive, marking progress in various fields. Spiritual and religious activities may spread positive energy, fostering a healthier and more harmonious environment around us.

Pluto-Uranus ninefold sextile (May 10-19)

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.

Rahu/Ketu-Jupiter ninefold squares (May 12-18)

The ninefold squares between Jupiter and the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu during this period are likely to be particularly challenging for individuals who have similar square aspects in their natal charts. Common experiences may include a sense of insecurity, lack of direction, general dissatisfaction, and spiritual confusion or loss of faith. If any of these planets are currently active in your Gochar (transit) chart, you may feel overwhelmed or discouraged.

This period may evoke a familiar emotional state—times when life felt unfair, uncertain, or unfulfilling, particularly in relationships or family matters. During this time, it’s crucial to hold on to your faith and maintain perspective. Avoid making major decisions or new commitments. Instead, stay the course, and trust that this is a temporary phase.

On a collective level, religious institutions and spiritual organizations around the world may face significant challenges. These could include declining public trust, internal discord, or difficulty maintaining influence. The passing of a prominent religious or spiritual leader is also a possibility during this period.

Uranus-Rahu ninefold quincunx  (May 17-22)

If in your birth chart Uranus is in the direct quincunx with the lunar node Rahu, and if any one of these two planets are active in your Gochar (transit) chart, then you might want to consider taking extra precautions in your professional and financial areas during this period and be prepared for unwanted surprises and obstacles.  This quincunx 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 very 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 is likely to run into some very difficult period. Also, USA and China may go through a crisis situation during this period.

Pluto-Rahu and Pluto-Ketu ninefold squares (May 21 – June 5)

The ninefold squares of Pluto with the lunar nodes are generally have tendencies to destroy the present setting of life and transform it in to a totally new one. Those who have better placed lunar nodes and their connections with Pluto, are likely to adapt well to this new change and move to their next level of evolution, while others are likely to struggle and may find the change unbearable. Perhaps the best way to deal with this situation is to stay alert and be extremely cautious in dealing with your surroundings that affect you. Avoid taking any new risk during this period.  And probably be prepared for situations that are going to get worse before they get better with new direction in life. Staying low key is certainly the way to go.  Avoid any new ventures and postpone the matters that you wanted to begin till this period is passed. 

On a collective level, a new wave of renewed violence in Ukraine, Israel and Palestinians, as well as outbreak of terrorism around the world during these days are real possibilities.

Pluto-Saturn ninefold quincunx (May 26 – June 2)

For individuals who have a quincunx, square, or opposition aspect between Pluto and Saturn in their birth charts—and especially if either Pluto or Saturn is currently active in their Gochar (transit) chart—this period may bring a severe personal setback or significant turmoil. This quincunx can act as a powerful transformative force, potentially dismantling one’s current way of life due to misfortune or events beyond one’s control. The outcome of such a shift will largely depend on the strength and overall influence of Pluto and Saturn in the natal chart. In many cases, the resulting life changes are likely to be profound and irreversible.

On a collective level, this planetary alignment suggests a heightened risk of violence and terrorist activity in the Middle East. Natural and man-made calamities are also possible during this period, and certain regions may experience increased military tension or even war-like conditions. The ongoing conflict between Israelis and Palestinians may intensify. Additionally, parts of Eastern Europe, including Russia and Ukraine, as well as China, could witness growing political unrest and social instability.

Saturn-Rahu ninefold sextile (Saturn-Ketu ninefold trine)  (May 27-31)

Saturn-Rahu ninefold sextile 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. 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.
