Astrology can be a very good guide to a better life provided you are open to its projections rather than just its predictions. Over the years, astrology has evolved in various ways. In order to learn how to navigate, the first step is to understand your horoscope. While the natal positions decree certain situations and possibilities, the transits always bring in new and ever-changing predictions as the planets keep to their movement in the Vedic sky.
Planet Sun will start its journey through the Airy and Fixed sign Aquarius, but it will transit into the Watery and Dual sign Pisces on 14th March 2024 for the rest of this month. Therefore, during first half of this month, some of powerful countries may give final shape to their defence and trade deals, which could have larger impact on future geo-politics. On domestic front, there could be power tussle in power corridor and allegation level of political parties may go further below. However, during the second half of the month, there could be sharp reaction between neighbouring countries on action and counter action by each other. On domestic front, despite of political stability, there could be politics of poaching and switching loyalty. The same could trigger allegation/counter allegation between ruling and opposition parties.
Planet Mercury will start its journey from the sign Aquarius, but it will transit into debilitated sign Pisces on 7th March 2024 and finally it will transit into sign Aries on 26th March 2024 for the rest of this month. Hence, the month could start on a stable note in the market, but there could be lots of ups and downs during the period from 7th March to 25th March 2024, when Mercury will transit into debilitated sign Pisces. However, there could be rise in market during the last week of the month, which could attract the confidence of investors community. Similarly, the dialogue process between nations on bilateral issues or on international forums, may face lots of hurdles, when Mercury would transit into sign Pisces. However, the last week of this month could prove beneficial for such dialogue process, which may conclude with fruitful and desired outcomes.
Moon, the beautiful energy that helps us to connect to the finer things of life starts its quick-footed journey from sign Libra and will be in the sign Scorpio at the end of this month.
Planet Mars is the energy that helps us to push forward as well as to attain our hopes and dreams; will transit into its exalted sign Capricorn till 14th March 2024 and after this, it will transit into sign Aquarius for the rest of this month. Hence, the border or internal defence strategy formulated by state armed forces could bring better results during the 1st half of this month to counter terror activities as well as anti-social and anti-national elements. The state armed forces may also launch some major terror strike/operations in specific regions of the world. However, the second half of March 2024 could give good progress for ongoing negotiations on border issues or military confrontations between some neighbouring countries.
Venus, the planet that signifies our sense of appreciation for good and beauty in all forms of harmony as well as wealth would start its journey from the sign Capricorn, but it will transit in the sign Aquarius on 7th March 2024 for rest of the month. Hence, during the first half of this month, there could be stability with the prices of petroleum and other energy related products on higher note, but second half of March 2024 could give better stability with the prices of such products. Generally, this month could prove to be beneficial for the entertainment industry as well as for women work force, which could shine in their respective work fields.
Planet Jupiter which signifies wealth, peace, and prosperity in the society, has started its transit in sign Aries on 22nd April 2023 for next one year and would be in same sign during March 2024. Hence, the efforts made by different governments to boost their financial activities and economy may bring good results. Financial institutions may see better response to their efforts for revival measures of economy irrespective of countries. However, on individual level, it would influence your life as per transiting relation of planet Jupiter with respect to your birth chart.
Planet Saturn is already transiting in its own sign Aquarius till March 2025. So it will continue its transit in same sign during March 2024. Hence, we may see the positive results for elderly citizens as well as for the health sector during this month. The month may bring some joy for the labour class to get benefited with welfare schemes by concerned governments. However, for the people who come under Sade Sati or Dhaiya with this transit of Saturn, may face issues as per relation of planet Saturn with their individual birth charts.
The eternally retrograde energies Rahu has transited into sign Pisces and Ketu has transited into sign Virgo on 30th October 2023 only for the next one and half years. Therefore, this transit of Rahu in sign Pisces indicates that some countries may promote crime and criminals through their spy activities to enemy countries. They may target prisons and hospitals for spy activities. The transit of Ketu in sign Virgo indicates major shift in labour and public health policies of some of countries considering today's world challenges. There could be boost of medical services in the world and every country would try to be self-dependent specifically in health sector.
