Transit Update on Month of August -Infinite potential of Number 8
An update on transit… for the month of August.
I will elaborate more on what can be expected out of this month with an overview of the transit planets…their impact ….
Significance of number 8…& its connection with the month of August…:)
Static chart & dynamic progression of Dasha, transit of planets is the story of Jyotish….there is always something we can work on with transit of planets & changing Dasha,
There is always something new that we face each day with the changes in the transiting planets…. nothing is constant so there is always a chance to do things differently with each change that we face…that’s how we grow…learn…:)
Here, we are in the month of August…. which indicates change…transformations…. up and down…alterations…modifications and extremes…😊
August… is that part of the year where, whether you want or not…. whatever has ended in the month of July will show up with change, and keeping patience and having strength is the best way to manage this month…
August is the 8th month of the year…
With number 8 we can think of Scorpio….8th house of the chart where the significator is Saturn…. Saturn also signifies number 8…
Saturn gives good longevity to the person…. any matter related to number 8 doesn’t die soon…. but it has fluctuation…. up and down like infinity symbol….
With prominent number 8 in your life…in any form with your date of birth, the month of birth or the total of your birth year comes to 8…. Then this impacts you significantly…. you will experience that…. things don’t come to an end easily…. but there is no stability either…
Check the Scorpio sign in your chart and the house it placed in…the matter related to that…. will be strongly influenced by the significations of the number 8
Numerologically this number is the number of extremes…
When prominent 8 is at play…. there is an element of suddenness also…along with Saturn, Scorpio, and the 8th house of the natural zodiac…it is also connected with Ketu…the co-ruler of Scorpio…
All the significance of 8th house…Scorpio sign…. Saturn and Ketu…can be related to number 8……like inheritance, others money, unearned money, …. money has a close connection with number 8 either way…. positively or negatively.…. then health, transformations, ending, secrets…hidden matters, insurance…everything is strong and powerful here…
8 brings change…. modifications…conversions…it has the tendency to separate but doesn’t end easily…as the number ahead is 9 and then 10. where the ending actually happens…
At number 8 you are just being tested strongly…and if you survive this then you reach the top… Saturn provides the strength…to survive those challenges and struggles at this point….in a Saturnian way…with patience, endurance, and delay….and there is then infinite success…freedom …you are born again…
Let’s see a few Famous 8:
Ashtami born Lord Krishna
Ashta Laxmi…8 forms of Laxmi
Ashtanga yoga
Ashtak Varga in Jyotish
Ashtavinayak temples
8 Vasu
Asthta siddhi
We have witnessed major events happening on this date 8th, 17th, or 26th …. then the prominent multiples of 8 are….8, sweet 16, 24, 32, 40 life begins at 40…midlife crises…. many say this
Then the most prominent age 48 which is also the maturity age of Ketu…things are like upside-down…..you are done with awareness…took all the experiences of life and from here…rest of your life will be based on the experiences so far….:))
This overview on number 8 was about what can be expected from number 8 and how best we can handle this month…
Astrologically…
~ We start this month with complete combust Mercury at 15 degrees in Cancer…The chart looks like this with the natural zodiac:
Sun-Mercury is in tight conjunction with an aspect of Saturn. We all may experience some restriction in the matter related to communication in some form…email exchange, writing, speaking, phone calls…. emotional expressions of ideas and thoughts…
~ Another imp change happened on 25th July and that was Saturn changed its navamsa from Gemini to Pushkar nav Taurus …in its retrogression…. It is throughout the month till 13th Sep –
After almost 4 months Saturn changed its nav this time…. Saturn was not that serious as usual…. in Gemini…little carefree…in double mind…gathering knowledge…
Saturn in earthy Taurus Navamsa will bring correction …stability, security in the finances, and your approach towards your family values…Expect some correction in the Taurus zone in your chart…
~ Then on 3rd Aug, Moon Conjunct Rahu — opposite Ketu — There can be little unrest, anxiety…which can lead to fear because of some unrealistic expectations or thoughts which can matter for a couple of days….
Rahu and Saturn both in Moon’s nak will make things a little dramatic than usually…the obsession with something can be very strong…
The tight aspect of Sun & Saturn will be separating from here…that will be another reason for the increase in the flow of action…. communication, and sense of relief….
~ Then on 4th Aug — Rahu/Ketu will be in Aries/libra Navamsa till 6th October…this is a big change as they will give the result of 12th to their own placement …so far, they were vargottama…in Tau/Sco
Fight for individuality and cutting the dependency on anyone would be the theme of this Aries/libra navamsa…this impacts all kinds of partnerships and relationships in general. Maintaining harmony and peace can be difficult and it is necessary to remain calm and balanced…
~ Then we have New Moon in Cancer — Ashlesha Nakshatra on 8th August with Saturn opposition…With New moon, there is always a new beginning…time to set goals…
The chart With New moon…
It impacts the comfort, peace of mind, and emotions but most importantly your mindset and thoughts as Ashlesha is the gandanta Nak and is heading towards gandanta point …
With Saturn’s aspect on it…. the energies are not flowing smoothly but with much caution…Also, Moon will join Mercury in crossing Gandanta……
~ On 9th Aug — Moon & Mercury both will be in Leo…. there will be a sense of relief…in our communication and thoughts…. The chart :
Mercury in Leo — a friend’s sign will be joyous and confident.
The mind will be strong, creative, and confident…. very expressive of their knowledge and ideas. Again within 15 days it is transiting towards its exaltation sign….so for the next few weeks expect good…and too much verbal …written communication…exchange of ideas…& thoughts are much channelized…with right focus…
~ 10th Aug — Moon opposite Jupiter & will Conjunct Mars — Aspect of Jupiter will make the mind more optimistic and responsible in general …. also, the conjunction of mars will inspire to take action on it…Any negative impact of Mars will be much controlled because of Jupiter…
~ On 11th Aug — Venus in…. practical and detail-oriented Virgo, Venus is not comfortable though in friends sign… as …with Virgo connection, everything has to make sense… with a motive in mind…which is not like Venus at all…Venus wants to take pleasure in everything from heart…. not in reasoning out with mind…😊
On the positive side, We have Jupiter/Mercury mutual aspect on the same day…
~ On 16th Aug — Moon Conjunct Ketu — Opposite Rahu…simultaneously Sun will cross gandanta and enter Leo…
The Chart:
these 2 days should be observed carefully and remaining calm with everything is happening around you…
~ 17th Aug — Sun in Leo — this is the best placement for Sun and with this many other areas of life will naturally get better like…health, vitality, your expression, communication…name, fame, authority…. your confidence everything will shine…The king…bosses…authority people will have a good time…
~ Secondly… From 17th Aug to 14th Sep Jupiter will be in Libra Nav with Jupiter Retro…Jupiter was in Scorpio navamsa …. Venus is the lord…both are not friends but are determined to maintain harmony, being balanced and righteous…
~ On 19th Aug we have Mars/Mercury tight conjunction in Leo…you might express yourself aggressively with communication and you need to be watchful on some heated arguments…
~ 20th Aug — Sun Aspect Jupiter — the wisdom of the person will come out naturally…sun and Jupiter dominant person will shine in this period…The vision is clear with faith in self…much can be achieved with this…
This positive aspect will reduce the impact of the Moon crossing over Saturn on 21st August
~ 22nd Aug — Full Moon in Aq — Dhanishta nak followed by Moon in opposition to first Mars and then Venus…
This Ful moon is conjunct Jupiter…The Chart:
The matter started at some level with the new moon on 8th Aug will find their finishing touch…
Moon’s Opposition with Mars will be followed by Venus in Virgo… which will make the mind charged up and kind of happy too…So we can comfortably say the happy outcome….
~ 26th Aug — Mercury will transit Virgo…its exaltation sign…There will be focus, attention, decisiveness….. and more detail-oriented, perfect approach…also on
The Chart:
~ 27th Aug — Moon’s New Cycle in Aries through the Zodiac…so a new beginning with a clear mindset and goal…
~ Lastly…. on 30th Aug — Moon Conjunct Rahu again — Opposite Ketu… it's not ordinary conjunction and there will be some dramatic and changeable circumstances with this union…. but for a couple of days…
Overall if we see….
The 1st half is a little intense with the new moon, nodes changing their nav…mercury …sun crossing gandanta and Venus in debilitation…but we shall come out stronger with the 2nd half as the planets will leave the water element and get in fire element…
The 2nd half…looks much better…bright …lively and very creative…. Mars and Venus are already there in Leo…Mercury and Sun will follow…
Leo is heavy with all these 4 planets…It’s a fire sign …there won’t be any dull moment…The flavor of this part will be much creative and intellectual…there is confidence…determination and ambition…
The Leo sign is most active throughout the month…. especially the 2nd half…. there will be an abundance of power with fire…so maintaining harmony and balance is very necessary otherwise it will be difficult to control this fiery energy …
To Summarize, August month can be full of fluctuations…the 1st half will be the lower circle of 8, and the 2nd half we are rolling upward…It is important to stay connected, hold each other and never leave sides of your close ones.
Leo is the most happening sign…so do check its placements in your chart…that area is very active and is capable to give events… especially the Leo & Aquarius sign…The fluctuation of number 8 can be more seen in these 2 signs…
Change in some form is needed…. Leo sign and Sun placed there, indicates to do your dharma, duties…and no ego should come in your way in fulfilling your responsibility…avoid temptations to do otherwise…stick to your dharma….:)
Aquarius is a humanitarian sign…. Think & do things for everyone…whatever is your task at hand…however small…do consider everyone’s interest. That’s Jupiter in Aquarius is reminding us….
With this approach, there will be peace and growth with any change that happens …
Towards the end of the month, even Virgo is active with Mercury and Venus placed in it…We have Neech bhang raj yog with this
August can be a little challenging for Capricorn, Pisces….
It could be best for Scorpio, Libra, Aries
And average for Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius
Lastly, number 8 reminds us that even though life has its difficult phases, nothing is constant….Time keeps on changing and moving always….😊
