Rahu and Ketu Transit on September 19, 2020 for All 12 Signs
In this segment we explore a deeper meaning of Rahu and Ketu and the lessons they come to share in this life. We discuss the upcoming transit of Rahu and Ketu into Taurus and Scorpio, and what this may mean for each of the twelve zodiac signs.
Rahu does exceptionally well in Taurus, as the materialistic node of Rahu feels supported to explore it's earthly pursuits in the luxury-loving sign of Taurus. Additionally, Ketu feels extremely comfortable in Scorpio, as this node is allowed to dig even deeper to depths of hidden information and truth.

Nakshatra Series: Swati
In this segment we discuss the independent, flexible, restless, adaptable sign of Swati. This nakshatra runs from 6°40' - 20° of Libra. This nakshatra is ruled by the node of Rahu. With the mixed energy of Venus (ruling planet of Libra) and Rahu, natives with Swati strong are often charming and have a natural allure. The deity is Vayu, or the Wind God. The nature of the wind gives these natives an airy, flexible quality. They may seem to always be on the move or thinking about where they can go next. This nakshatra is also known for it's resiliency and ability to "go with the flow".

New Moon Forecast in Magha Nakshatra August 18/19: Events in August Prepare Us for September
In this segment we discuss the upcoming new moon in Magha nakshatra. Magha nakshatra represents paternal lineage, tradition, ancestors, and taking care of the people around you. Magha is ruled by the planet Ketu... giving an additional energy that may bring separation or division in our strong held beliefs. It is an important time to acknowledge and pay homage to our own lineage - while also acknowledging, appreciating, and respecting the beliefs of others.
We discuss auspicious activities for individuals on this day as well as other dates to consider. I do discuss planetary influences that we can expect to see in September to prepare for some serious shifts in energy.
NOTE: In this segment, I mention on September 19 Rahu and Ketu will change nodes, which is when I believe we will see a lot more civil dispute. I want to clarify that Mars will be aspected by Saturn AFTER October 4th, which is when I believe we will see the most significant unrest begin.

This nakshatra is ruled by the Sun - giving them a luminous nature that is difficult to miss. Uttara Phalguni is known for their kindness, friendship, and patronage - having a connection to the deity Aryaman. They have the tendency to be loyal and generous - sometimes to a fault!

Mars Retrograde: The Implications of Mars Retrograde + Assessment Through the Signs
In this segment we discuss the upcoming transit of Mars, Mars retrograde, and how we might best prepare for this heated and erratic energy.
When Mars is functioning well, it is directed with it's aggression, passionate, ambitious, and motivated. When it is retrograde - it tends to loose focus, becoming violent, and become unsure of when or when not to engage in conflict.
It seems that the majority of conflict occurs online these days. Do your best to avoid fueling unnecessary fires and choosing your battles wisely. Exhaustion, frustration, fear, and anxiety are going to be amplified. With knowledge of cosmic forces, we may do our best to harmonize in advance.
The dates of Mars transit:
August 16th - Mars in Aries
Sept 10th - Mars Retrograde
October 3rd - Mars in Pisces
Nov 13th - Mars Direct
Dec 23 - Mars in Aries
Keep in mind - if you have planets in your natal birth chart in the early degrees of Aries or late degrees of Pisces, particularly tread with caution.
