Planetary Transits for January 21 – January 27

(Interpretations based on the Systemsʻ Approach to Vedic Astrology)

Notes:  Congratulations to President Biden and Vice President Harris. Best wishes for good health, bipartisan leadership, and national accomplishments. In the SAMVA chart for USA, it appears that challenges are likely through mid-April 2022. Then, the following 10 years should be exceptionally successful.

Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, from 09:51 to 10:40°. This is a strong position for Saturn and should be helpful for the elderly, the masses, working-class persons, immigrants, minority groups, and the poor and needy. (Biden/Harris pledge to also support these segments of society.)

Where the Vedic Astrology Planets are this Week

Sun transits Capricorn, from 07:16 to 14:22°. Sun is in favorable degrees. This should be helpful for leaders, presidents, physicians and administrators. Sun is closely conjunct Saturn until Jan. 28th. Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA) should be careful and patient. Sun is closely conjunct Jupiter until Feb. 3rd.  Taurus, Cancer and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA) should be careful and patient.

Moon is waxing and transits Aries, Taurus, Gemini and into Cancer.

Mars transits its own sign, Aries, from 12:47 to 16:24°. Mars is outside the orb of influence of other planets. This is a powerful position for Mars, ruling the military, police and national security. (25,000 National Guard deployed to protect the presidential inauguration.)

Mercury transits out of Capricorn and into Aquarius, Jan. 25th at 4:58 a.m., CST.  Mercury is weak in degrees until Feb. 9th. Be vigilant with stocks, finance, business, technology and communications.

Jupiter transits its debilitation sign, Capricorn, from 13:21 to 15:01°.  Jupiter is weak in debilitation, but is in favorable degrees. Jupiter begins to separate from the recent close conjunction with Saturn. This should bring some relief for Cancer, Virgo, and Pisces rising sign persons, companies and countries (including USA).

Venus transits out of Sagittarius and into Capricorn, Jan. 27th at 4:00 p.m. CST. Venus is weak in degrees until Jan. 31st. Take care of the women in your life and be patient with romance, travel, medicine, luxuries, entertainment, and the fine, healing or performing arts.

Saturn transits its own sign, Capricorn, from 09:51 to 10:40°. This is a strong position for Saturn. Gemini, Leo and Aquarius rising signs, however, should be vigilant for the next two years as Saturn is transiting their 8th, 6th, and 12th (inauspicious) houses, respectively.

Saturn begins to separate from the close conjunction with Jupiter. This should bring some relief to Taurus, Cancer, and Capricorn rising sign persons, companies and countries, (including USA). Cancer, Virgo and Pisces rising sign persons, companies, and countries (including USA), however, should continue to be vigilant whenever Saturn is within 5 degrees of any of their planets or rising sign degree, by aspect or conjunction.

Rahu and Ketu transit Taurus and Scorpio, respectively and stationary, from 24:55 to 24:48°.   Persons, companies and countries with a rising sign between 25 and 23 degrees — or with any planets in even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces) in these same degrees, should be careful and patient through mid-Feb.
