Overview
In light of recent Uvalde elementary school shooting in Texas that killed 19 children and two teachers, it is important to note that due to the energy of Capricorn Pluto, Saturn’s entry in Aquarius starting on April 28, the manifestations of these energies are clearly reflected in the senseless killing of children, and as a result, unsettling political climate in the USA with perpetually reoccurring gun violence and gun control issue. Another aspect of this tragic event that clearly demonstrates the working of retrograde Mercury (miscommunication, misinformation, and delays) and the delayed response of the law enforcement officers at the scene despite 911 calls from children inside the school and desperate pleas from the frantic parents just outside the school witnessing the massacre as being unfolded. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more to come about this event after Mercury gains its average speed on June 11.
Is Russian-Ukraine war going away?
In early part of June, it may seem that the war between Russia and Ukraine is significantly slowing down. That’s just the Neptunian deception. As we get closer to the last week of June, the war is likely to get accelerated and the bombings of civilian areas in Ukraine rising due to the manifestations of energies of Uranus-Rahu conjunction (within three degrees) in the sidereal Aries, and the same time Mars entering in Aries.
Another significant planetary event of June begins in the fourth week of June due to the deadly gathering of Uranus, the lunar node Rahu and Mars in sidereal Aries. The political turmoil and social unrest in the United States that include racial and gun violence, natural and man-made calamities around the world including west coast wildfires, senseless killings in Ukraine war etc., are likely get more intensive.
Political turmoil, violence, and social unrest in the USA (June 21 – Sept 20)
The north lunar node, Rahu will conjunct Uranus in sidereal Aries within three degrees during June 21 – Sept 20, and within one degree during July 13 – Aug 9. In addition, Mars enters sidereal Aries on June 27. This is one of the deadliest combinations of three major malefics coming together in the fire sign Aries, and Rahu’s karmic energy will certainly be on display during this conjunction period. It will certainly affect the political climate (Mars) of the United States (Uranus) in a big way as this period directly confronts with the country’s Karma (Rahu).
The political turmoil and social unrest in the United States, natural and man-made calamities around the world including west coast wildfires, racial violence in the United States, senseless killings in Ukraine war etc., are likely to get more intensive during this period.
For the USA politics in general, and democrats and the Democratic Party in particular, this period may prove to be extremely challenging. This period may last through the middle of August.
Is Authoritarianism on its way out?
One of the extraordinary planetary events of 2022 is the transit of the modern planet Neptune from the sidereal zodiac sign Aquarius to the next zodiac sign Pisces. Although it is going to be in Pisces for only about 5 months in 2022, Neptune being the spiritual planet of our solar system that deals more with heart than mind, it will certainly affect the matters related to Pisces in a significant way.
Pisces is a water and mutable sign ruled by Jupiter, and some of significant characteristics of Jupiter are: divine, fruitful, fertile, emotional, honest, outspoken, religious, spiritual, nonviolent, polite, modest, moody, affectionate, hermit, psychic, water, compassion, love, heart connection, non-verbal communication and introvert. These qualities complement very well qualities of Neptune that include: spiritual, intuitive, divine, psychic, magical, highly emotional, moody, clairvoyant, inspiration, imaginative, love, compassionate and mystical.
As a result, a subtle and slow change in our collective moral and spiritual perceptions is certainly going to be manifested in the way we never experienced before. This era (next 14 years) will be remembered as the period of spiritual inspiration and transformation. Interestingly, this era also complements well the era of Pluto’s transit in sidereal Capricorn (a sign ruled by spiritual Saturn) that runs in parallel during the same time. The way we have been used to deal with religions will no longer be our norms. Our moral codes will be greatly influenced by our collective spiritual experiences. In that sense a subtle but most effective transformation of world morality during this unique era of 14 years is likely to take us to a level where the norms solely based on spiritual experiences will dictate and guide our lives with new level of understanding.
Pisces, being the sign for poets, musicians, singers, monks, religious leaders, spiritual leaders, nurses, nuns, social workers, caregivers, saints, psychics, actors, sailors and ship captains, these respective fields will go through significant transformations. These transformations will be reflected in the new norms of morality and ethics, expansion of our collective psychic abilities and mystical experiences keeping in line with steady progress in our ability to directly perceive truth. Also, creativity in areas of music will likely complement our spiritual progress.
In scientific and technological areas, a lot of drastic changes and emerging trends coupled with mystical experiences will find their way into innovations and discoveries. Scientific and technological research will start bridging the gap between the science and morality. The likely areas of research will be in spiritual healing and life-force related activities. The return to the holistic and Ayurvedic practices and alternate medicines will be significant. A new wave of philosophers and philanthropist with their new perspectives on living, in general, will certainly transform our world in next 14 years with a new level of understanding of life.
On the downside, the religious leaders and social reformers may tend to form cults and spread cult like activities, rise in organized religion scandals, deceptive behavior under the disguise of spiritual experiences are likely to be on rise in certain parts of the world. The scandals of the secretive collaboration between the medical doctors and pharmaceutical industries will be exposed. The increase usage of mind-altering drugs, disregard for social and to some extent moral responsibility, rise in mental disorders, and losing the touch with reality are some of the likely symptoms of the negative side of Neptune.
The influence of the Neptunian energy will be reflected in profound changes that are likely to occur in authoritarian countries like Russia and China in next 14 years. The authoritarianism will be challenged, and people in power of authority are likely to lose their power in coming years. In addition, the organized religions will likely to be under tremendous pressure to abandon their norms that have been the hindrances in transforming our humanity to universal love.
On individual level for those who have water sign (Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces) as their ascendant in their natal ninefold (Navamansh) chart should get ready for a brand new and long lasting (14 years) cycle of change, especially if Neptune is a dominant planet in your birth charts. The changes that might occur would be very subtle and would deal with your new or renewed interest in spirituality, openness, psychic abilities to perceive truth, divine experiences, transformed beliefs and the way of living.
President Biden’s challenges in June
The month of June continues to bring President Biden challenges and rewards with a mixed performance both at the domestic and international level.
With Libra as his ninefold (Navamansh) ascendant, the neutral Jupiter and favorable Mercury provide him with positive energy to carry out his political agenda while the challenging Saturn may become responsible for political confusion and disappointment.
Given the ninefold transit (Gochar) chart dispositions of his active planets he is likely to travel (maybe abroad), face more difficulties in dealing with his adversaries, and a stressful period from the health standpoint. However, the favorable disposition of Mercury in his transit chart will likely to successfully overcome the challenges brought up by his adversaries and restore his confidence in governing the country.
For him the good news is that Mars is looking to be really positive this month in successfully dealing with international as well as domestic political challenges as he gets empowered by success at home and abroad. On the other hand, the challenging Saturn may become responsible for more political challenges to be faced, some health issues and stressful travel.
Overall, his performance for June is going to be slightly better than May as he simultaneously deals with both the domestic and international challenges with mixed results.

Planetary Energies for Individuals
Saturn-Jupiter ninefold conjunction (June 9-12)
Jupiter-Saturn ninefold conjunction is going to be unfavorable for those who have both the planets, Jupiter and Saturn, unfavorably placed in their natal charts. Some of the symptoms of this opposition are: frustration, loss of motivation, insecure feeling, loss of direction in life and general unhappiness. This is like a test period. A period that can be viewed a real positive opportunity from self-discovery standpoint since it will require you to bring best out of you to deal with situations around you. If you have such conjunction or opposition in your birth chart and if any one of these planets is presently active through your Gochar (transit) chart then you need to look at the things with a different attitude. The best thing to do is to stay the course of present action without making new commitment. Remember the time when you felt the life is not fair and not worth living, very unsure of yourself, and unhappy with family, well, that’s how you going to feel this time.
Neptune-Saturn ninefold square (April 29 – June 18)
If you have a Neptune-Saturn square in your birth chart, and if any one of these two planets is being active through your Gochar (transit) chart, then during this period you might want to consider postponing your plans of expansion or any new venture, and just stay in a defensive mode. This square has a tendency to ruin your plans in a very deceptive manner, and usually, there is very little you can do about it once the process begins.
