Neptune-Jupiter ninefold sextile (Jan 25 – March 6)

This auspicious ninefold 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.  

For those who have well placed Jupiter and Neptune in their birth charts (conjunction, trine, sextile, opposition) are likely to enjoy a positive experience during this period.  People involved in the religious activities are likely experience a sudden boost in their daily activities, and religious authorities are going to be well recognized by societies.

On a collective level, religious, academic, and social fields are very likely to enjoy the new and positive changes occurring in their respective fields.

Neptune-Rahu conjunction and Neptune-Ketu opposition (March 1-28)

If Neptune and Rahu, or Neptune and Ketu, are poorly placed in your natal chart—particularly when connected to the sixth, eighth, or twelfth house—and one of these planets is currently active in your transit (Gochar) chart, you may experience instability due to sudden changes in your activities and surroundings. These disruptions could lead to unfortunate and frustrating situations. During this period, it is advisable to avoid committing to new ventures and to maintain a low profile.

On a larger scale, this alignment suggests potential social and economic instability, particularly in regions like Russia and China. Covert activities, including those linked to terrorism and international conflicts, might gain momentum. However, due to Neptune’s inherently secretive nature, many such developments may remain hidden from public view.

Pluto-Jupiter ninefold square (March 6-13)

This planetary event holds significant implications, particularly for individuals involved in religion, religious institutions, or academia. The ninefold square aspect between Pluto and Jupiter can bring challenges in these areas, as Pluto’s transformative energy has the power to irreversibly reshape religion and academia, establishing new norms and standards.

If your birth chart features a square between Jupiter and Pluto, and if either of these planets is currently active in your life through your transit (Gochar) chart, you may encounter profound challenges. The nature of these challenges will depend on the houses these planets occupy in your natal chart. Prepare to face a unique and demanding experience in the corresponding field, as success in navigating these challenges can bring significant rewards.

Collectively, religious, academic, and even some social domains are likely to experience transformative shifts during this period. While initial responses to these changes may involve confusion or even chaos, the majority are expected to ultimately embrace these changes and find them beneficial. This period marks the beginning of a new wave of growth and evolution in these fields.

Uranus-Rahu ninefold quincunx  (March 14-20)

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.

Neptune-Saturn ninefold sextile (March 15-22)

If Neptune and Saturn form a ninefold sextile and are favorably placed in your natal chart, this period is likely to bring positive developments. You may experience professional and social advancements, such as promotions or increased prestige. Additionally, there may be a subtle yet impactful shift in your perspective, helping you better understand your role in life and fostering a sense of relaxation, contentment, and self-assurance.

On a global scale, religious activities are expected to gain momentum, infused with new vigor and energy. Conservatives may find innovative ways to advance their agendas while avoiding direct conflict with liberals on contentious issues. Politically, Republicans might gain an advantage over Democrats. Meanwhile, China and Russia are likely to benefit from improved domestic policies and strengthened foreign relations, leading to positive outcomes in these areas.

Uranus-Jupiter ninefold opposition (March 16-22)

When Jupiter deals with outward and material matters, Uranus brings sudden and intense influences. If you have an opposition between these planets in your birth chart, and one of them is affecting you through your transit chart, you’re bound to undergo a period of intense self-inquiry and confrontation. This calls for close attention to your own self. The way you handle this process is up to you; you can either courageously and spiritually transform by gaining deeper self-understanding or choose to evade it, potentially facing similar frustrations in the future. This period offers an opportunity for irreversible changes in your beliefs and moral values. While challenging, overcoming this phase marks a significant leap forward in your journey of self-discovery or evolution.

On the global stage, world religions may face challenges from groundbreaking ideas that demand attention. Religious leaders who are open-minded and willing to listen and act on fresh concepts will be instrumental in transforming our religious landscape to a new level. Those who resist change may gradually lose relevance over time.

Pluto-Saturn ninefold square (March 20-25)

If in your birth chart Pluto makes a square with Saturn, and if either of these planets is active in your transit (Gochar) chart, then you want to consider taking extra precaution in dealing with money matters, people at work, especially with your adversaries. In general, this is the time to stay low key and not be aggressive. Be cautious and alert as much as possible.  Do not trust anybody during this period. 

On a collective level, Russia is likely to face with some serious challenges and perhaps sudden changes.  To some extent China is also going to have a similar experience.

Uranus-Saturn sextile (March 23 – April 19)

If Uranus and Saturn form a ninefold sextile and are favorably placed in your natal chart, this period can bring significant monetary and power gains, promotions, and improved prestige in professional and social settings. This is an ideal time to pursue an idea or dream you’ve long held but never acted upon. However, amidst the busyness, ensure you don’t neglect your family responsibilities. You are likely to feel a distinct surge of positive energy, making this a time to fully embrace and enjoy the opportunities that come your way.

On a global scale, religious activities are expected to grow with renewed vigor and energy. Conservatives and liberals may find common ground on contentious issues, and Democrats and Republicans are likely to agree on more matters than they disagree. This could be a favorable time for passing lingering bills in the U.S. Congress and Senate. However, China and Russia might face mild setbacks in their foreign policies, particularly in their dealings with the United States.

Pluto-Neptune ninefold quincunx (March 24 – April 20)

If you have a quincunx, square, or opposition of Pluto with Neptune in your birth chart, and either 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-Rahu ninefold trine (and Pluto-Ketu sextile) (March 25 – April 3)

If Pluto or one of the lunar nodes is active in your transit (Gochar) chart and Pluto is favorably positioned in relation to the lunar nodes in your natal chart, you can anticipate a very favorable period. The positive outcomes will be related to the matters signified by the houses these planets occupy or aspect in your natal chart.

For instance:

• If the seventh house is involved, expect significant and positive developments in relationships, business partnerships, or success in engaging with the masses if your work involves public interaction.
• If the eleventh house is involved, this period may bring substantial financial gains or rewards.

On a collective level, this period bodes well for the economy. It is also a time of progress in technical fields, marked by new innovations and discoveries, and it fosters religious reconciliation.
