Special Transits
Mars conjunct Ketu
June 21, 2008
Mars entered Cancer, its sign of debilitation, on April 28 and will stay there until June 21. This is a challenging transit for the sign of cancer. Cancer rules education, maternal matters, vehicles, and homes. These things are being influenced in a negative way in general during this transit.
Mars is also the significator of land, ambitious energy, physical energy, the adrenal glands, the muscles of the body, competition, the head, warfare, anger, and surgeries. So it is best to avoid beginning activities related to these activities during this transit.
On June 21st, Mars will conjunct Ketu. This is a difficult conjunction which may signify sudden negative events on the political or military level or on the level of events produced by nature. It is recommended to avoid a period for about 4 days on either side of the conjunction for any important matters generally. Of course, the exact meaning of this conjunction will vary widely from person to person and country to country, and must be considered in the light of each individual horoscope.
On the positive side, the conjunction of Mars and Ketu is a good time for the practice of yoga, or anything that channels energy on a subtle level, such as body work, energy work, Reiki, Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Meditation, etc.
The Mantra for Mars can also be chanted during this period. Om Hreem Mangalaya Namah.
