Planetary Transits - 17th Oct to 17th Nov 2022, Understand the Impact!

Our lives are filled with uncertainties but at the same time, our lives are filled with endless possibilities. It is how we plan and navigate through these changes that test our patience and resilience.

Our universe is composed of varying planets, stars, and galaxies, all of which collectively contribute to varying cosmic events that govern our lives, in some way, shape and form.

The upcoming planetary transits will involve a lot of changes and contribute to changes in our lives (both good and bad). This particular blog will explore more about these planetary transits and how you can plan your strategy accordingly for the days to come.

Understanding the Transit of the Planets

The upcoming planetary transits and cosmic events will have prolonged and long-lasting influence, ones that will govern and influence our lives.

Let us straighten out all the details next.

1. Sun’s Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

Sun will transit to Libra on 17th Oct 2022, where it will be debilitated and later join Ketu. Following this phenomenon, we are heading towards a partial solar eclipse on October 25, 2022 (IST), followed by a lunar eclipse on November 08, 2022 (IST).

The solar eclipse will be visible in India while the lunar eclipse won’t be visible in India but internationally in some other countries.

There will be a stellium formed in Libra from October 26 to November 11, 2022. This period will witness multiple planets in Libra i.e. the Sun, Ketu, Venus, and Mercury. Also the moon will join them on 7th & 8th Nov forming Lunar Eclipse. The impacts of this will be different for different individuals, depending on the planetary positions in their respective charts.

How will it influence you?

This time around, the Sun's transit is expected to result in two notable phenomena – solar and lunar eclipse.

Eclipses, in general, bring a lot of life-changing events into our lives and these subsequent ones won’t be any different. (P.S – We will be writing a detailed blog on the same, so stay tuned!).

As I mentioned, the solar eclipse will be visible in India, meaning that we’d have to stay more alert throughout the cosmic event. Overall globally there will be a lot of influence and impact on Government, leadership and parental or authoritative figures and positions in our lives.

On the flip side, the lunar eclipse has a direct influence on our minds. Since our minds are more prone to being at unrest, find tools and resources to keep yourself calm and composed throughout the event.

2. Saturn’s Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

Another important transit that is going to follow is the movement of Saturn.

Saturn will slow down and then remain stationary at 24 degrees in Capricorn and then turn direct (forward motion) on October 23, 2022, however, the interesting part is it will remain at 24 degrees until 17th November 2022. It will then move towards 25 degrees on November 18, 2022.

Saturn stationary is a very powerful phenomenon. This period might be a test of one’s patience and resilience through a period of adversity.

How will it influence you?

Saturn, itself, is an extremely powerful planet with a heavy influence on our lives. It remains stationary and then turning direct at 24 degrees is quite a distinct transit that will influence our emotional well-being. If you are feeling stuck at the moment with no flexibility in your thoughts, in your life, now you know the reason why.

Laziness may kick in, pain in the body, joint pain, and pains in calves and legs..it may get a little overwhelming for some time.

Besides this, Uranus @ 24 degrees in Aries will be squaring Saturn, a transit that’s extremely rare but quite vicious at the same time. This is a period you should watch out for feelings of discomfort, and uneasiness. The transit might also instigate war-like situations in the world. Avoid provoking behavior, and be as composed as possible.

Especially if you have any planets with a cardinal moon/ascendant signs Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn at 24 degrees then you better watch out.

Which rising or moon signs will be impacted more?

Gemini, Libra, Capricorn, Aquarius.

3. Mars Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

Following Saturn’s transit, the next influencing one is the Mars transit. It enters Gemini on October 15, 2022, and will turn retrograde on October 30, 2022, at 1 degree and 26 minutes.

It will then retrograde back into Taurus on November 13, 2022, and stay retrograde until January 12, 2023. Mars will stay in Taurus until March 12, 2023, making it a prolonged stay of 4 months.

How will it influence you?

If you pay attention to the dates, Mars has a very long stay in Taurus. As much as I project the importance of optimism in a situation, this transit will come with a word of caution. I’d highly recommend that you pay attention to your surroundings.

If you are making important life decisions, stop and rethink. Avoid making decisions in a hurry or taking action without a second thought during Mars retrograde.

There might be an escalation in war-like situations globally as Saturn is squaring Uranus and with the Mars retrograde added onto it, so prioritize your safety all throughout.

Additionally, take care of your physical and emotional well-being. Also, there is likely to be a potential impact on the economy.

Which rising or moon signs will be impacted?

Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Scorpio, Aquarius.

4. Venus Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

Venus has been debilitated and has been in combustion since 1st Oct 2022. It will enter Libra on October 18, 2022, and the planet will play an integral role in the two eclipses that are happening soon. It transits into Scorpio on November 11 and then stays under combustion until November 17, 2022.

Technical Part of the Transit

Venus is a planet that represents peace, harmony and love, especially in relationships. With the planet being in transit and combust, there are higher chances of clashes between partners in a relationship.

The period of transit won’t be an ideal time for people to engage in “serious” relationships. Also, if you are finding yourself getting angry or being short with your partner, focus on finding a healthy outlet for that anger and frustration. Avoid fighting with your partner.

Even with the unrest in the relationships, avoid taking rash decisions, including a divorce. We’d recommend you wait until November 18, 2022, because that’s when things are going to start going uphill again.

Which rising or moon signs will be impacted?

Libra, Taurus, Capricorn, Aquarius.

5. Mercury Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

We have talked about the recent Mercury retrograde phenomenon in one of my blogs before. This time around, Mercury is exalted and aspected by Jupiter. The planet will enter Libra on October 26, 2022, which is right after the solar eclipse phenomenon.

Also, it will later enter Scorpio on November 13, 2022, and will be part of the Lunar eclipse. It is under combustion until November 29, 2022.

How will it influence you?

Mercury’s transit in Libra is quite a short cosmic phenomenon. But, despite the tenure being short, it will have a profound impact on our lives, especially with respect to communication, documentation, and other technical aspects of our personal and professional life. Take care of your skin and allergies if any.

Since times are so unexpected, this period is also when I’d recommend that you prioritize the safety of your children. Stay close to them and keep them near you at all times.

Which rising or moon signs will be impacted?

Gemini, Virgo

6. Ketu Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

Ketu or the south node of the moon will transit into the Swati Nakshatra and then remain there until June 26, 2023. This will result in an 8-month-long transit of Ketu in the aforementioned nakshatra.

How will it influence you?

This prolonged transit of Ketu is expected to trigger a variety of karmic events, depending on an individual’s chart and planetary positioning in their charts.

Also, on a mundane level, Ketu will be transiting Rahu’s nakshatra. Currently, Rahu is in Bharani nakshatra, which is dominated by Venus. Since Venus influences love and relationships, this transit might end up having a negative influence on your love life, marriage, and relationships.

Be cautious of any sudden outbursts, unnecessary fights, etc. with your partner. If things aren’t at their best, divert your focus on something worthwhile instead of feeding into the anger and the turmoil in the relationship.

Since Ketu is also in an air sign during this transit, there are high chances of natural calamities like tornadoes, hurricanes, etc.

7. Jupiter Transit

Technical Part of the Transit

Jupiter is currently retrograde and will turn direct on November 24, 2022.

The onset of this transit will let the tough times get better for all of us.

Overall Conclusion

These planetary transits will introduce a lot of unexpected turns of events in our lives. Being aware of the dates of these cosmic events and their influences allow you to plan your days better and overcome the same as the impacts fizzle out.

The following encapsulates a list of all the triggers and impacts you should keep in mind and practice caution with.

• Every planet is in degrees, meaning that these upcoming days will some way or the other impact everyone’s life to a certain degree. It is a changing time, so practice caution.
• It certainly doesn't mean that all the days are bad. This is just a caution as the events are triggered based on planetary positions in one’s chart and the dasha he/she is running.
• If you have a habit of overspending or you are planning to splurge out without any second thoughts, put a stop to that until good times recuperate.
• Avoid traveling when Saturn is stationary or during the beginning phase of the Mars retrograde.
• If you are facing issues with communication, find clarity in the situation. Also, avoid indulging in signing important documentation.
• Relationships might be in a very fragile position during this phase, so avoid getting into conflicts and instead focus on the good and positive in your relationship.
• Wait until November 24, 2022, because that’s when Jupiter is turning direct and Saturn is moving ahead. Times after that will bring quick relief in the lives of people.

Quick word of advice: Since the solar eclipse is happening during the second day of Diwali, illuminate your houses with more diyas, lights, etc. to drive out the darkness.

Note: All the dates/ analysis mentioned above is based on side-real Vedic astrology. We consider the mean nodes of Rahu and Ketu for our predictions. Blogs on the eclipses will be published very soon, so keep an eye out for that.
