Celestial Watch: Planetary Transits in Nov 2012

"Motivational Destiny" Painting by Nik Helbig

Key Planetary Transits:

Sun:

Sun continues to remain debilitated in Libra till Nov 16, 2012. However, exalted Saturn is no longer combust and thus will provide neechbhanga (cancellation of Sun's debilitation) in Libra. Sun and Saturn conjunction is not a favorable conjunction. It insinuates chaos in government, conflicts between leaders and masses, between authority and democracy, and conflicts between father and son. This is a difficult transit for Sun and takes place twice in 30 years, where Sun (King of all planets) reaches its lowest low point in conjunction with an inimical Saturn. 

Sun then moves to the friendly sign of Scorpio however it will first encounter with Rahu (its arch enemy) and will suffer a solar eclipse. 

Natives with Leo Ascendants (Lagna) and Rasi (Moon Sign) should particularly take care and should avoid entering in any conflicts as they will be defeated miserably, especially till Nov 16, 2012. 

To strengthen Sun, please see section on "Remedies" in the top panel. 

Venus:

Apart from Sun, Venus is another planet that is also undergoing debilitation in Virgo till Nov 17, 2012. However, unlike Sun, Venus does not receive a neechbhanga. Furthermore, its depositor, Mercury is also transiting an inimical sign of Scorpio and further afflicted by Rahu. 

Not a happy period for Libra Ascendant and Rasi sign considering that their Lagna Lord, Venus is debilitated in 12th house. Venus debilitation is not as stressful for Taurus natives as Venus is getting debilitated in 5th house. 

This is also a crucial time for Governor Romney (Taurus Ascendant) as he will be heading for US Presidential Elections on Nov 6, 2012 (Click here to read about astrological predictions for 2012 US Presidential Elections). 

Saturn:

Saturn continues to remain exalted in Libra and is now in friendly nakshatra of Swati. It will be joined by Venus (Lord of Libra Rasi) on Nov 17, 2012 and by Mercury on Nov 8, 2012. This will form a very powerful Sasa Yoga (one of the Panch Mahapurush yoga) for Capricorn and Aquarius natives. With Lagna Lord Venus along with Yogakaraka Saturn together in Libra, will be extremely beneficial for Libra natives (lagna as well as rasi). 

Mercury and Rahu:

Virgo natives are particularly facing a hard time for most of 2012 considering that the sign was in paapkatari (malefic shut down transit) till June 2012 followed by long retrograde of Lagna Lord Mercury. Mercury is about to retrograde again. This is again an extremely difficult transit for Virgo and Gemini natives (Lagna as well as rasi). Lagna Lord Mercury is not only transiting in inimical house of Scorpio but also it will encounter several conjunctions with Rahu. Mercury makes its first conjunction with Rahu as soon as it enters Scorpio on Oct 25, 2012. Rahu is currently transiting backwards in Scorpio and is on its way out of Scorpio and is also receiving a neechbhanga from Mars (which also on its way out of Scorpio). 

On Nov 7, 2012, Mercury will begin its retrogression and will conjunct with Rahu again on Nov 17, 2012. Mercury will become direct in the beginning of December and will join with Rahu again on Dec 6, 2012. 

Not a fun time for Gemini and Virgo (lagna and rasi) more stressful time for Virgo. Till Dec 6, 2012, Virgo natives should think before they speak and weigh each and every word before speaking it out. 

Eclipses:

Two eclipses:

- Solar Eclipse on Nov 13, 2012

- Lunar Eclipse on Nov 28, 2012. 

Leo, Cancer, and Taurus natives will see a positive effect after both the eclipses. 

Scorpio (Lagna and rasi):

Maximum celestial drama is taking place in scorpio and natives with scorpio as lagna or rasi will witness an unsettling emotional restlessness till the end of Nov 2012. 

Prayers to Lord Hanuman are strongly recommended. 

Mid-Nov 2012:

A lot is happening around 16/17 Nov 2012: Sun will be out of debilitation and saturn's power and will conjunct with Rahu; Venus will be out of debilitation and conjunct exalted Saturn; Mercury will conjunct Rahu. Hence mid-Nov is extremely stressful and natives are strongly advised to read Hanuman Chalisa and Mahalakshmi Asthakam daily. 

Glimpse (as per Lagna sign):

Aries: Take care till Nov 17, 2012 after that times will change drastically.
