Now we turn to the fuller detail on the main items for our Newsletter:
The Saturn Ketu transit gives way to Saturn Pluto Transit:
This is a ‘get out of jail card’, if you know how to handle it. Sort out your life so you can carry your own Holy Grail Forward, now.
Look inward to understand all the contradictions – wonderful or otherwise. Do a Journey to the Abyss to clear yourself of your shadow, and arise lightened to connect to the Divine Inspiration: https://www.starwheelastrology.com/journey-to-the-abyss-pluto.html.
First, there was the Saturn Ketu transit in Vedic Sagittarius came first of the two. It’s been with us all year. It has been a really life-changing transit where the experience of long tension leads ideally to a wonderful spiritual strategy forward, and may involve going through fear, and may prompt us to strengthen ourselves, embody ourselves more strongly and heal. And by the way, the tension period is not yet over!
Then there’s the Saturn Pluto Transit: But now the Saturn Ketu conjunction is separating as Saturn transits forward and Ketu continues retrograde transit. And what is replacing it as the dominant transit now is the newly closing Saturn – Pluto conjunction.
And how is the Saturn Pluto conjunction best to be understood?
Well, I think Saturn at his best is like a container, a structure, a strategy. Saturn demands patience duty and hard work.
In other words, I see Saturn at his best now being a container that we carry forward as we correct the out of kilter situation that has been causing us so much tension all this year.
In fact, I ask you to embrace the carrying forward of a Holy Grail in your life. Carry it forward with strategy and direction. And know that it contains: Pluto – transformation, vast transformation, probably involving a death and rebirth experience being necessary.
So, we must now each carry forward with strategy and direction our own Holy Grail of transformation.
See my related Blog post:
I see Pluto as involving a journey to the underworld at times in our life. So, this time may well necessitate a journey for you to descend into the abyss to face Pluto as Keeper of the Abyss there, so as to leave in his custody there our wounds, pains, blocks, secrets, guilts, etc. we do this so that we can arise lightened out of the abyss, so that we can arise to meet Pluto not as Keeper of the abyss but as Kether the Crown Chakra, now cleared and opened to the divine light because of our underworlds descent.
In Babylonian mythology, the is the journey to the underworld of Inanna/Ishtar. In Greek mythology it is the Pluto Persephone energy.
Enrol for our powerful, healing astrology-related visionary Journey to meet Pluto and heal and empower: Guided Journey to The Abyss: https://www.starwheelastrology.com/journey-to-the-abyss-pluto.html
There’s the need for each of us now, at these times, to go through the zero point and face the shadow, and emerge healed. This is the call to leave our 3D responses and patterns behind, and embrace a more enlightened consciousness.
We need to face the fear.
We need to see the self that Fear creates, as our shadow self.
We then need to become strong in the face of it, because that is what it offers: a chance for healing and growth.
To the extent that we are the bird who has lived in a cage all his life, we may shrink back from FREEDOM!

Jupiter and Venus are transiting Vedic Sagittarius and across Galactic Centre:
Jupiter transits Vedic Sagittarius from 5.11.2019 to 30th March 2020:
Venus transits Vedic Sagittarius from 21.11.2019 to 14th December 2019.
And part of this time they transit across the Galactic Centre. The fiercely energetic energies emitted by Galactic Centre infuse Jupiter and Venus’ energies, around the beginning of December.
Galactic Centre is in the area centering around 3 Vedic Sagittarius (that’s 27 Western Sagittarius)It’s in Mula Nakshatra, ruled by Nritti the Goddess of Death and Destruction. And the energy source also encompasses and infuses the space several degrees either side of the Scorpio-Sagittarius transition point at 0 degrees Sagittarius.
Galactic Centre is the heart of the Milky Way – it’s an immense ‘black hole’, emitting huge, powerful cosmic energies.
Galactic Centre is Vishnu Nabhi, the Navel of Lord Vishnu. It is anciently seen as the Font of Light for the galaxy.
Jupiter and Venus have been transiting there (they were exact at 3 Sagittarius on 23rd November).
Jupiter is still aligned with Galactic Centre at the start of December. He’s at 5 deg Vedic Sagittarius on Dec 1st, in Mula Nakshatra.
This is where Jupiter and Venus are now receiving transformation, renewal and empowerment, increasing their blessing and inspiration.
And this can really transform us if we make the effort to be aware and respond. (remember we have to make the effort to be on the ball and embrace inspiration and opportunity. Remember, negatively, Venus and Jupiter together can be a rather lazy energy.
Check out what inspiration has been coming through to you since the 5th November when Jupiter first entered Vedic Sagittarius, and since 21st November when Venus entered Vedic Sagittarius.
Heed the Wisdom of your Inner Voice.
Don’t disregard your guidance!
The inspiration coming your way may be metaphysical, occult or practical.
Do look out for it.
See my separate Blog for a lot more guidance on this subject:

The Solar Eclipse of 26th December 2019
Eclipses are un-damming energy – for good or ill. It’s a good idea to remember this eclipse is happening and keep your life simple at this time – a few days before and afterwards.
Look at the chart for this huge eclipse (it’s in the separate standalong Blog: see link below.
Put your birth chart in the middle of it.
Get an Astrology Reading from me: https://www.starwheelastrology.com/buyanastrologyreading.html
Sun enters Vedic Sagittarius on 16th December, and this solar eclipse is at 9 deg Vedic Sagittarius (That’s 4 deg western Capricorn). It’s in Mula Nakshatra.
Sagittarius has a staggering 7 planets transiting it at this time, so in addition to the Eclipse Sun and The Moon, the planets Jupiter and Mercury are also conjunct and caught up in it, with Saturn, Ketu and Pluto also affected.
It’s quite a chart!
It’s shown in western and Vedic astrology charts at the foot of this blog post.
In essence, with this Eclipse being conjucnt Jupiter, and also involving Ket, and being in a Ketu-rled Nakshatra – Mula, I believe the essence of this Wclipse is INSPIRATION. Be open to receive this inspiration
Embrace the highest potential.
And note that we will all have to respond to any failings in the area of life (House) that is Vedic Sagittarius, in our Vedic birth charts. Heal where needed.
Then make a Journey
Make the journey powerfully and with focus – based on the Inspiration that comes through to you at this time.
Do see more detail in my separate Blog post on this most influential powerful and important Eclipse:

Uranus the Revolution Bringer:
Uranus is transiting at nine to eight degrees Vedic Aries (3 to 2 deg western Taurus).
If transiting Uranus is aspecting a planet in your birth chart, do be wide and open to Uranus’ inspiration.
Do embrace the Revolution being forced upon you
Do check out the revolution effect of Uranus in the House /life area he is transiting in your birth chart.
I have had such inspiration from the Uranus transit in Vedic Aries (I have planets both in Vedic Aries and in Vedic Libra).
One item of Revolution was so different from the work I have been doing, I almost discounted it. Others tried to talk me out of it, or over-discuss it and lose the thrust. Stand up for your Uranus Revolution insight!
It was the Uranus Revolution energy that freed the French from their dreadful aristocrats in the French Revolution starting May 5th, 1789.
It was the Uranus Revolutionary insight that freed the United States from rule by the complacent self-satisfied British ruling classes on April 19th, 1775.
I feel Revolution was very needed in areas of my life from about last October 2018. I was stuck in some patterns that made me ill.
And Revolution is here for me:
As regards Chiron transit, first of all, I had Chiron transit square my natal Uranus exact 27th February 2019.
Then transiting Chiron was inconjunct Saturn 9th October 2019.
So, as Chiron heals Uranus and Saturn, and Uranus brings the revolution, at the same time, Saturn Grounds it. And that’s what is nearly completed and sorted out, now.
But then there’s the amazing double whammy of Uranus transiting my natal Rahu in my Aries 10th House of Career, at the same time period that transiting Rahu conjucnts my natal Uranus in 12th House of intuition and spirituality!!!
So, in summary: Uranus transited conjunct my Rahu natal North Node in Aries 10th House on 8th October 2019, plus the mirror image: Rahu transits conjunct my natal Uranus 12th House on 5.4.2020. Mirror image! Double whammy!
So: how is transiting Uranus now for you?
Have a Reading with me about your current and predictive astrology, and how it’s activating the scripts in your western and Vedic birth charts:
https://www.starwheelastrology.com/buyanastrologyreading.html
Neptune turns Direct:
Neptune turned direct on 27th November at 15 degrees Vedic Pisces. That’s 21 degrees Vedic Aquarius, in PurvaBhadra Nakshatra.
Do check out where Neptune is transiting in your birth chart, and what planets transiting Neptune is aspecting.
Be aware that Neptune’s positive gifts are sensitivity, intuition, vision, compassion: what visions/ideals may he have been sending you. These effects will have been being consolidated during Neptune’s retrograde. Now we move forward in our visionary connections and urges.
Another positive of Neptune moving forward is that we may suddenly see through people who have been fooling or using us, who are entryists or parasites.
The negative facets of Neptune’s energy that we need to be aware of are: drink, drugs, delusions, unreal fantasies, drain, and lack of confidence.
Chiron
Chiron is transiting at 7 Vedic Pisces (2 western Aries) in December. So, if you have natal planets in the early part of Vedic Pisces or Virgo, you will be receiving a Chiron activation. Chiron is the Wounded Healer. He embodies our existential wound, in the healing of which, we can become the Healer of others.
I have seen such spectacular healings when there’s a Chiron activation.
Sade Sate Planning:
Those people with Moon in PurvaAshadha are in the centre of Sade Sate now.
What is Sade Sate?
Sade Sate is the difficult seven and a half year that Saturn transits through the sign before the natal Moon, the sign occupied by the natal Moon and the sign after the sign of the natal Moon: two and a half years Saturn transit through each of these signs; seven and a half years transit in total.
The divine purpose of Sade Sate is to let us see ourselves as we are when ‘stripped of God’s grace’, and the divine intention of this is to spur us to smash our blocks to perception and embrace the path that is more truly in line with our incarnational life purpose as it can best unfold at this time in our life. There are very hard parts of Sade sate, and these alternate with ‘fools’ paradise’ times. Often there’s a death in the family or the circle. Often there’s a big move of house.
Though do note the mapping of your Sade Sate time scale is more accurately mapped both for date/time-scale and also type of experience, by studying Saturn’s transit through the sequence of your Nakshatras on either side of your natal Moon, rather than the three Vedic signs model. This is especially the case for those of us who have their natal Moon at the very beginning or the very end of one of the 12 Vedic Sidereal signs.
Saturn transited into the Nakshatra he currently occupies which is PurvaAshadha Nakshatra in Vedic Sagittarius on 2.3.2018.
And Saturn enters the next Nakshatra, UttaraAshadha, on 26.12.19.
And do contact me for a full reading about your life and how to handle your Sade Sate experience at: https://www.starwheelastrology.com/buyanastrologyreading.html
This is especially a good idea for you now, if your natal Moon is in Vedic Sagittarius or if your Moon is in Vedic Capricorn (i.e. if your natal Moon is in: Mula, PurvaAshadha, UttaraAshadha, Sravana and Dhanistha Nakshatras.
