Overview
On November 19, Jupiter entered the sidereal Aquarius and will stay in Aquarius till April 13, 2022. For the entire world, in general, it’s going to be an auspicious time from the philosophical and collective spiritual advancement point of view. The resulting philosophical influences will likely to be long lasting. Also, academia, social reformers, social justice, morality, universal brotherhood and religions to some extent are likely to be positively influenced by Jupiter’s transit in Aquarius.
Venus becomes retrograde on December 19 and will stay retrograde for about six weeks. In general, a retrograde Venus means a very challenging period for women, marriages, home life, lovers, artists, musicians, singers, and entertainment industry in general. Expect the divorce rates to peak, fighting between spouses to intensify, and delays, frustrations, and misunderstandings to take a center-stage in domestic matters.
The last two weeks of December are likely to witness events similar to the ones during March-July of this year as the influence of the Saturn-Uranus square remains dominant for USA, especially for the west coast and Texas. The manifestation of this undesirable planetary square (especially along with the transformational Capricorn Pluto) is likely to be reflected in both the natural and man-made calamities causing destruction and loss of lives during this period (a possible surge of Covid-19 pandemic with new variant Omicron, climate crisis, uprising in Middle East, Russia and the United States).
Saturn-Uranus Square
(December 16-31)
One of the most important and challenging planetary combinations of 2021 is the Capricorn Saturn and Aries Uranus square is happening again this year during December 16-31.
Aries being a fire and cardinal sign is very suitable for brilliant, independent, ambitious, energetic, impulsive, and crazy Uranus. The changes in world political landscape have been tremendously influenced by Uranus’s transit in Aries.
Now combine the Uranus’s energy with that of steadfast and subtle but very powerful energy of Capricorn Saturn through its challenging square with Uranus. It’s a perfect combination for material world disasters including the natural calamities. Unless these energies are properly understood, the man-made calamities might include increased friction between world powers (USA-Russia and China) perhaps resulting into war-like climate.
The people who are likely to be most affected by this square are military personnel, people in power such as business leaders and political leaders. In scientific and technological areas expect drastic changes; emerging new ideas will find their ways into innovations and discoveries. Since the characteristics of Uranus are closely tied with that of the United States as a country (especially the states of California, Oregon and Washington) the likelihood of serious natural and man-made calamities, political and financial upheavals is strong.
Thus, the manifestation of this undesirable planetary square is likely to be reflected in both the natural and man-made problems causing destruction and loss of lives during this two-week period.
As far as the United States is concerned, since characteristics of Uranus are more aligned with liberal ideas and that of Saturn with conservatism, it wouldn’t be surprising if an intense battle emerges between the right-wing republicans and the left-wing democrats not only in congress but all over the country.
Retrograde Venus
(December 19 – January 29)
On December 19, the planet Venus turns retrograde in its motion in sidereal zodiac sign Capricorn. With its retrograde motion it returns to Sagittarius on December 30 and stays in Sagittarius. It then becomes direct on January 29 and reenters Capricorn on February 27.
Venus becomes retrograde about once every 19 months and stays retrograde for about six weeks. In general, a retrograde Venus means a very challenging period for women, marriages, home life, lovers, artists, musicians, and entertainment industry in general. Expect the divorce rates to peak, fighting between spouses to intensify, and delays, frustrations, and misunderstandings to take a center-stage in domestic matters.
The energy of the retrograde Venus in Capricorn does tend to reflect a challenging period for industries that produce luxury goods and provide luxury services.
If you have a dominating Venus in your birth chart, and if the Venus energy is active via your current planetary cycle, then you are more likely to experience the challenging period till January 29. The executive producers, directors of entertainment industries as well as the entertainers like actors, actresses, musicians, comedians and others related to luxury based consumer industries may find themselves in a miserable situation during this retrograde Venus period.
Jupiter returns the sidereal Aquarius
(Nov 19, 2021 – April 13, 2022 )
On November 20, 2021, Jupiter reentered Aquarius and will remain in Aquarius till April 13, 2022.
Aquarius, being the air sign, 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 for advancement of spirituality. Since Aquarius is a fixed sign, the resulting philosophical influences will likely to be long lasting. Also, academia, social reformers, social justice, morality, universal brotherhood and to some extent religions are likely to be positively influenced by Jupiter’s transit in Aquarius.
For individuals, especially for those who have dominant Jupiter in their birth charts and have Capricorn, Aries, Gemini, Leo or Libra as their natal ninefold (Navamansa) ascendant are likely to experience a very positive period during Nov 20, 2021 – April 13, 2022.

Planetary Energies for Individuals
Neptune-Rahu and Neptune-Ketu ninefold squares (Dec 9-12)
Neptune-Rahu (and Ketu) ninefold squares are going to be very unfavorable for those who have such squares in their natal charts. Expect sudden loss of money, power and demotions at workplace and/or tarnished reputation in professional and social fields. If you have such squares in your birth chart, and if any one of these planets is presently active through the Gochar (transit) chart then you need be extra careful. The best thing to do is not make any new commitment, and totally avoid taking any business or monetary risk. Remember you never suspected a close friend, and then you suddenly find out that he or she secretly doing things behind your back to hurt you….well something similar is likely to happen….be careful!
Pluto-Jupiter ninefold sextile (Dec 22-25)
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 setting with new challenges as well as the rewards that come with them.
