Saturn and Ketu rare extended tight conjunction

by James Kelleher April 23, 2019

Starting this week, Saturn and Ketu will be begin a tight conjunction through Purva Ashadha nakshatra for a rare extended period of time until mid October! Purva Ashadha's shakti is the power to energize. In previous posts, I have pointed out that the malefic influence of Saturn in this nakshatra is one of the astrological factors connected to the recent increases in power outages and grid failures in Venezuela, South Africa and other places in the world. Now Ketu adds its energy to the combination increasing the potential for problems related to energy. Water is the other thing symbolized by Purva Ashadha, who's deity is Apas, the goddess of water. So we can also look for various types of challenges related to water on the planet. This can be problems related to water quality, the amount of water (too much or too little), the ability to access water, etc.

On the personal level, this is a time to be conscientious about managing your hydration level. A good way to do this, suggested in Ayurveda, is to sip warm water frequently throughout the day. Similarly, it is good time to manage your energy level by getting proper rest, diet, and exercise.
