Overview
Although in August, the undesirable energy of the explosive and deadly Uranus-Saturn square is slowly fading away, the manifestation of energy of the Pluto-Uranus ninefold square will certainly be felt during August 8 – October 4 period, and it’s not pretty for the world, especially for the United States. The continuation of the spreading of the Delta variant is likely to intensify, a new wave of violence in the Middle-East, especially in the Israeli-Palestinian region and in the United States are very likely. In addition, a significant rise in the natural calamities (heat waves and wild fires, severe storms, unprecedented flooding, tornados, hurricanes and typhoons, etc.,) and manmade problems (senseless killings and shootings, social unrest and violence) are more likely.
Furthermore, the energies of Uranus-Mars (Aug 2-5) and Rahu/Ketu-Mars (Aug 9-11) squares may become responsible for an outbreak of fire related disasters and political tensions among leading nations.
Other important point to note is the retrograde motion of four major planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto, and all in zodiac signs of Capricorn and Aquarius ruled by Saturn indicate a general slowdown in most of the areas of world material expansion activities. It sure looks like a slow but sure path of the collective material contraction that the world is witnessing since the Pluto entered the sidereal Capricorn in December 2019/January 2020. Perhaps the silver lining in what’s going around the world would make us take a pause and reflect on the priorities we have for our way of living.
Retrograde Jupiter (June 20 – October 18)
On June 20, Jupiter turned retrograde in sidereal Aquarius. With its retrograde motion it will return to the sidereal Capricorn on September 15. It will continue to be retrograde in Capricorn until October 18.
While it’s in Aquarius, it’s the time for academia, social reformers, philosophers, philanthropists, people involved in social justice and morality related fields might want to step back a little and reflect on what has been achieved or done so far. When it’s in Capricorn, entrepreneurs, business people, CEO’s of big companies, financial managers, etc., should consider taking a pause in their activities and review their goals and agendas.
For those who have a well-placed Jupiter in their birth charts will likely to feel a slight deceleration in their progress. Remember it’s only temporary! You would need to put more energy in to whatever you do to achieve the same result when it’s direct. Especially those born with Capricorn, Libra, Leo, Gemini and Aries as a ninefold (Navamansha) ascendant are likely to do well while Jupiter in Aquarius, and those who are born with Sagittarius, Virgo, Cancer, Taurus and Pisces as a ninefold (Navamansha) ascendant would experience favorable period when Jupiter in Capricorn.
On the world scene, particularly in religious world, “Confusion” will dominate, and religious agendas are likely to get stalled. The world economy is likely to experience a slower growth.
Jupiter’s transit in the sidereal Aquarius
(Phase 1: April 5 – Sept 15)
On April 5, Jupiter left (sidereal) Capricorn and temporarily entered the next zodiac sign, Aquarius. Jupiter’s transit from one zodiac sign to the next occurs, on average, once a year. This time, the first phase of Jupiter’s transit in Aquarius will last until Sept 15, 2021.
Jupiter’s manifestation in Aquarius will certainly be reflected in emergence of new philosophies, philosophical debates, and as a result, perhaps, new norms and new way of living. For the entire world, in general, it’s going to be an auspicious time from the philosophical and collective spiritual advancement point of view. In addition, Aquarius being a fixed sign, the resulting philosophical influences will likely to be long lasting.
On individual levels, for those who have dominant Jupiter in their birth charts and have Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, Leo, or Libra as their a natal ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant are likely to experience a very positive period beginning April 5 thru September 15, and then Nov 20, 2021 thru April 13, 2022.

Planetary Energies for Individuals
Mars-Uranus Square (Aug 2-5)
Typically, this square offers very unfavorable and unexpected results with astonishing speed. People with such square in birth charts, and in case any one of these planets active through their Gochar (transit) charts, need to be extra careful. The best thing to do is to lay low key, not make any new commitment, and avoid taking any sort of risk. Also, experiences like a sudden fire incident, or an accident, or missing or drowning of a child are the doings of this square.
Pluto-Jupiter ninefold sextile
(Aug 8-14)
In your birth chart if Jupiter and Pluto are either in conjunction or trine or sextile, and if either of these planets is currently active via your Gochar (transit) chart, then you are perhaps standing on the thresh-hold of a new era that’s about to begin in your life. Depending on the houses these planets occupy in your birth chart, you are going to have a totally new and a very different experience in that particular field. Be ready to accept this new settings with new challenges as well as the rewards that come with them.
