Challenging Transits ahead in 2019 (esp. May – June)

On March 7th 2019 Rahu and Ketu transited into Gemini and Sagittarius respectively. Saturn is already in Sagittarius, making for some very challenging transits in the upcoming months. The Gemini-Sagittarius axis is especially challenged making it tough for people with Gemini (Mithuna) and Sagittarius (Dhanusu) Moon signs (rasis).

Here are some of the key dates:

• March 7th 2019 – Rahu in Gemini; Ketu and Saturn in Sagittarius – beginning of the challenging period
• March 29th 2019 – April 23rd 2019 – Jupiter is in Sagittarius providing some relief
• May 6th 2019 – Mars enters Gemini. This starts a period with Rahu/Ketu, Saturn, and Mars in the Gemini/Sagittarius axis – that is four out of the five (except Sun) malefics having a party together!
• May 19th 2019 – Ketu and Saturn are in the exact same degree. This is when their conjunction will be the most potent.

• June 1st 2019 – Mercury joins the party in Gemini!
• June 15th 2019 – Sun does not want to be left out and joins in Gemini. Now, ALL the malefics are in association with each other in the Gemini-Sagittarius axis.
• June 18th 2019 – Moon comes in and out of this axis every 14 days. On June 18th 2019, seven of the nine grahas are in the Gemini-Sagittarius axis!

• June 20th-22nd 2019 – Mercury and Mars leave the axis. This should start the cooling off period.
• June 28th 2019 – Venus moves into Gemini
• July 16th 2019 – Sun leaves Gemini
• July 23rd 2019 – Venus leaves Gemini
• November 11th 2019 – Jupiter moves into Sagittarius providing permanent relief
• December 25th 2019 – we have six grahas (Saturn, Ketu, Jupiter, Mercury, Sun, Moon) in Sagittarius and Rahu in Gemini.

• January 24th 2020 – Saturn moves to Capricorn marking the end of this difficult period.

So, what does all this mean? There could be some major macro-economical events in the upcoming months. Financial or political setbacks are very possible. Stay away from risky investments and play it safe through the rest of this year.

Similar transits in a prior period:

June 10th 1973 to May 26th 1974 – Saturn and Ketu in Gemini and Rahu in Sagittarius. This period also had the other planets come in and out of this axis. The period was marked by the Watergate scandal (political) and the oil crisis (financial). Interestingly Mars never entered this axis during this period. This time around we have Mars involved as well.
