Planetary Energies for Individuals for October 2023

Date Posted: September 30, 2023

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-Uranus ninefold quincunx (Sept 2 – Nov 1)

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 prepared 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 may become stagnant.

Neptune-Rahu and Neptune-Ketu ninefold squares (Sept 10 – Oct 5)

Neptune-Rahu and Neptune Ketu ninefold square are going to be very unfavorable for those who have such squares in their natal charts.  Expect sudden loss of money, power, and 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 Gochar (transit) chart 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 close friend, and then 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 real possibility.

Uranus-Rahu ninefold trine (Uranus-Ketu ninefold sextile)  (Sept 14 – Oct 4)

Uranus-Rahu ninefold trine is going to be very favorable for you if you have lunar nodes favorably placed in your natal chart with respect to Uranus.  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 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.

Pluto-Jupiter ninefold trine (Sept 24 – Oct 4)

This is an important planetary event for people who deal with religion, religious and academic institutes. This auspicious ninefold trine could become responsible for a unique transformation in the field of religion as the planet Pluto with its tremendous energy has a power of irreversibly transforming the field of religion and academics to a new level or setting with a new set of norms. 

In your birth chart if Jupiter and Pluto are either in conjunction or trine or sextile, and if either of these planets is currently active in your Gochar (transit) chart, then you are perhaps standing on the thresh-hold of a new era that’s about to begin in your life. Depending on the houses these planets occupy in your birth chart, you are going to have a totally new and a very different experience in that particular field. Be ready to accept this new setting with new challenges as well as the rewards that come with them.

On a collective level, religious and academic and to some extent social fields are very likely to see changes coming in their respective fields. Initial reaction to the change might appear to be a bit confusing and perhaps chaotic, but a majority of us are going to embrace this new wave of change and are very likely to enjoy it.

Pluto-Saturn ninefold sextile (Sept 29 – Oct 13)

If in your Gochar (transit) chart 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. 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-Uranus quincunx (Sept 30 – Oct 2)

Watch-out for bad news during these 3 days! Sudden and undesirable happenings are likely to occur if you have such quincunx in your birth chart.  It could be a sudden loss of money or an unfortunate accident, or a bad news. Only thing I suppose you could do is be prepared and avoid taking any new risk during this period.

On a collective level, natural and man-made calamities are likely, especially in the United States of America.

Mars-Rahu opposition and Mars-Ketu conjunction (Oct 4-6)

During these few days Mars conjuncts Ketu and opposes Rahu.  Typically Mar’s conjunction and opposition with lunar nodes are very unfavorable and unfortunate.  For those who have such oppositions or conjunctions in their birth charts, and if they have any one of these planets are active through the current progressive cycle need be very careful about the matters indicated by the respective houses in their birth charts.  Probably the best thing to do is to lay low key, not make any new commitment and avoid taking any sort of new risk.  

On the world scene, during these few 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.

Mars-Neptune Quincunx (Oct 5-6)

This short period is likely to be very frustrating for those who have Mars-Neptune opposition, quincunx, square, or conjunction in their natal charts. Typically this quincunx is very unfavorable from the point of view of being deceived or becoming victim of a scam or scheme. Usually one does not notice problems until it’s too late. For those who have such quincunx, opposition or conjunction in their birth charts and if they have any one of these planets is active via their Gochar (transit) chart they need to be on guard and absolutely not take any risk whatsoever. Stay very low key and do not make any new commitment. Also, unwanted experiences involving external forces, such as ghost or spirit, or a victim of a voodoo experiment are very possible. 

On the world scene, outbreak of covert activities among leading nations and possibilities of both natural and man-made calamities are likely.

Pluto-Mars Square (Oct 8-10)

This square may cause great turmoil in lives of individuals who have Pluto-Mars square in their natal charts.  Depending on the positions of these planets the matters related to the respective houses are likely to be affected.  The severity of the manifestation would be proportional to the strength of this square in the natal chart.  A sudden change in profession or at work place is a common manifestation of this square.    

On collective level or on world scene, natural and man-made calamities cannot be ruled out.

Pluto-Ketu ninefold trine (and Pluto-Rahu sextile) (Oct 17-27)

If through your Gochar (transit) chart the energy of either Pluto or lunar node is active and if Pluto is favorably positioned with respect to lunar nodes in your natal chart then expect a very favorable time. Such positive events will be related to the affairs signified by the houses these planets occupy or aspect. For example, if the seventh house is involved, expect a new and positive development in relationship area, 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 economy. This period is also good for progress in technical fields (new innovations and discoveries) and religious reconciliation.

Uranus-Jupiter ninefold square (Oct 20-26)

While Jupiter deals with outward and material things Uranus’s impulse is very sudden and with severe intensity.  If you have such square in your birth chart and if you have any one of these two planets is active in your Gochar (transit) chart then you are certainly going to have an experience of an extreme transformation (irreversible change) in your beliefs and moral values that you have been attached to. This period is challenging.  If you overcome the challenge, then it’s time for marching ahead with a quantum leap in the process of self-discovery (or evolution). 

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.
