My Star-Gazing: Scientific Vedic Astrological Forecast - Oct/2018

Hello Friends,
Here-below is the Astrological Chart of the sky in October.


















Few significant astrological events occurring in the coming months :
1. Sun transits Libra (7): 17-Oct - 16-Nov (debilitated)  .
The Sun (your self consciousness, ego, pride) transits Libra (7) in Oct-Nov & in its sign of debilitation, it's also over-shadowed by a conjugation of a retrograde (moving backwards) Venus during this transit. If things were not bad enough, it's about to get worse. Venus is all powerful at this time. We're going to have a huge challenge in finding a balance between Self & Others, Work & Pleasure - striking a balance will be hard, & relationships may deteriorate. The entire zodiac, also seems to be in the grip of a slight - Kaal Saarp Yoga. Avoid conflict situations during this time.

2. Mars transits Capricorn (10) : 2-May – 5-Nov (exalted)
Mars is exalted in Capricorn (10), it is positive for some. This period is one of the most significant astrological event of 2018, as it also comes in conjugation with Ketu. Both Mars & Ketu are non-social planets & this period may notice a few big events. Ketu is Karmic in nature, it evokes instances & events relating to your past, your past life, dreams which may hold deep meaning & uneasy sleep, it may also draw your interest towards "moksha".

3. Venus transits Libra (7) : 01-Sep - 01-Jan-19 (exalted)
Venus in own sign & exalted, however behaves erratically & becomes retrograde Oct-05 (moving backwards)
There is a metamorphosis :
Venus is on a journey of transformation from an Evening Star to a Morning Star -  It begins to move in line with the Sun in the zodiac as an "evening star" & eventually disappearing from sight & finally emerging later as the "morning star" . During this time of transformation - it appears to make a descent into the underworld, setting in the West as the Evening Star and then rising again in the East as the Morning Star.
Remember - that the transformation of Venus from an Evening Star to a Morning Star is one from the "god of love" to the "god of war".
Western, Persian & Vedic Astrology differ slightly on the analysis of this transformation / metamorphosis - However all agree that this brings about interesting changes & turbulent times.
The exact conjugation of Sun & Venus is on Oct-26

Summary : Avoid conflict situations during this time.
Navaratri 2018 in Canada will begin on : Tuesday, October 9
and ends on : Thursday, October 18
Devi Maa, bless my family & friends.

Best Regards,
