May 2019 Rasi Predictions

May 2019 rasi predictions

Transits can predict indications for each rasi. Key transits influencing May 2019 Rasi Predictions are:

  1. Mercury: Pisces to Aries on May 4th 2019
  2. Mars: Taurus to Gemini on May 7th 2019
  3. Venus: Pisces to Aries on May 11th 2019
  4. Sun: Aries to Taurus on May 16th 2019
  5. Mercury: Aries to Taurus on May 18th 2019

Significant considerations:

  1. Mercury is moving very fast – will cover two rasis in one month. It moves from debilitation in Pisces to a neutral sign in Aries to a friendly sign in Taurus. Mercury is also be with Sun from May 4th and Jupiter aspectd it when it moves into Taurus. This indicates fluctuations in the markets because Mercury represents business.
  2. Mars joins Rahu in the Rahu/Ketu, Saturn axis. Mars signifies accidents and aggression. The period could see accidents and terrorist activities.
  3. Sun starts out strong in its sign of exaltation, then moves to its enemy sign in Taurus. This indicates a drop in administrative efforts to maintain stability because Sun indicates power and administration.
  4. Venus also starts out strong in its sign of exaltation, then moves to a neutral sign in Aries.
  5. Rahu, Ketu and Saturn are in the Gemini – Sagittarius axis without support from Jupiter.

General Observations: May 2019 will see market fluctuations, increased attacks, and political instability.

Transits are only one consideration in vedic astrology. The individual’s native chart determines the dasha and bhuktis that influence the timing of events. Therefore, it is good to look at dasha and bhuktis in conjunction with transits. For example, if the dasha and bhukti is good and the transit is bad, the net effect may still be positive. Likewise, if the dasha and bhukti is bad and the transit is good, the net effect may be neutral. Finally, if the dasha and bhukti and the transits are both good, then the results are very good.

2019 is shaping out to be the year for Libra (Tula) and Cancer (Kataka) Moon Rasis

Vedic astrology uses dasas and transits to determine good and bad periods in a person’s life. In the dasa system we look at grahas at three levels – maha dasa, antar dasa, and pratyantar dasa. Among these, the graha running the maha dasa is the most important. The dasa analysis is done from the individual’s lagna or ascendant. In transits we mainly look at the transits of Saturn, Rahu/Ketu, and Jupiter. Transit analysis is done from the Moon sign.

To create a mathematical model, we can give the following weights to each of these grahas

30% – maha dasa graha

20% – antar dasa graha

10% – pratyantar dasa graha

Saturn transit – 10%

Jupiter transit – 10%

Rahu/Ketu transit – 10%

Transits of the other grahas or transit of the maha dasa graha – 10%

So, the transits can account for 30 – 40% of the influence on a person.

In 2018, people with Kumbha rasi benefited the most from the transits getting the full 30% benefit from Saturn, Jupiter, and Rahu/Ketu transits. If their maha dasa lord and antar dasa lord where also strong, they would have had a spectacular year.

Jupiter will transit on Oct 11th 2018 from Libra to Scorpio. Rahu/Ketu will transit on Mar 7th 2019. Let us look at the rasis that benefit the most from these transits.

Graha Good Houses Neutral Houses Bad Houses
Jupiter 2,5,7,9,11 1,4,10 3,6,8,12
Saturn 3,6,11 5,7,9,10 1,2,4,8,12
Rahu/Ketu 3,6,10,11 1,4,7 2,5,8,9,12
Oct 11 2018 to Mar 7 2019 Mar 8 2019 to Nov 4th 2019
Rasi Jupiter Transit Rahu Transit Ketu Transit Saturn Transit Overall Rasi Jupiter Transit Rahu Transit Ketu Transit Saturn Transit Overall
Aries -5% Aries -5%
Taurus 5% Taurus -10%
Gemini -20% Gemini -10%
Cancer 20% Cancer 20%
Leo 0% Leo 0%
Virgo -20% Virgo -15%
Libra 25% Libra 20%
Scorpio -10% Scorpio -20%
Sagittarius -30% Sagittarius -20%
Capricorn 0% Capricorn 0%
Aquarius 10% Aquarius 15%
Pisces 10% Pisces 15%

Total is calculated giving +10% for Saturn and Jupiter in “green”, -10% for Saturn and Jupiter in “red”, +5% for Rahu/Ketu in “green”, -5% for Rahu/Ketu in “red”, and 0% for cells in “grey”.

Clearly, Cancer and Libra Moon signs benefit the most. It would be tough year for Sagittarius Moon signs.
