EYE ON THE SKY:
Mars is squaring Mercury on May 12th and its impact will be felt most on Wednesday May 9th and 16th. Mercury and Mars are bitter enemies, so this is not a happy transit and can bring up more disputes and arguments and fighting. Drive carefully and do not fight in the car. This is an 8th house transit for Virgos, which requires transformation, or unexpected illness or accidents can arise if your dasha period is so indicating. It is an 11th house transit for Geminis suggesting more fun with friends and fulfillment of desires and increases in income and a chance to engage in competitive sports. Mercury in Aries will want to pick fights but this wastes a lot of energy. Join a debating club if you have to do this kind of energy and that would be the case if you have it in your natal chart.
Luckily Jupiter aspects Aries and will provide grace and positive outcomes. Of course the impact here will be more if you are running a Mars/Mercury period or a Mercury/Mars period or if you have Mars/Mercury associations in your natal chart particularly in Aries. For most people you have to say out of fights. Just write it down and do not blast anyone and let the energy pass.
Pluto trines the Sun into Friday, May 11th and these trines are imporant because they are conjunctions in the D-9 chart. Both these energies create a low of power and energy in the solar plexus to accomplish great things with great energy. Whatever your are interested in at the moment, you will be driven to research and investigate the inner working so you gain full understanding of the topic. You will have greater power and influence over your own life, allowing for positive transformations. You can also exert this greater power and influence over the events in your life and over the people around you. Relationships with people in positions of power and authority, large organizations and companies should go well, and you can make a big impression on superiors. This aspect can generate a lot of energy for Aries and Capricorn and Scorpio rising and for Leo so use the power to get great things done.
Mercury is conjunct Uranus on Sunday, May 13th and will impact Geminis and Virgos most. This transit can stimulate creative thinking and excitement about new ideas leading to flashes of great insight. Routine study and concentration is likely to be disrupted because you are more easily distracted. However, these are excellent conditions for scientific or technical fields like science and mathematics where the grasping of concepts is more important than memorizing formula. Strange or occult fields can be better understood and this includes astrology, with the transitional ruler being Mercury and modern ruler Uranus. Unexpected news may come your way but this transit alone does not imply whether it be good or bad news. Your reaction time is rapid which is good for dexterity but can cause problems like jumping to conclusions or interrupting conversations.

Most of our karma affects our psychology and mind first and can block us from moving forward in our lives. Often we buy into our mental patterns and belief structures and they prevent us from moving forward. If we believe we are a failure in relationships because of a strong influence in our chart, this becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy—but it usually starts as an unconscious mental influence—which does show up in the chart.
There are some more intermediate concepts in Vedic astrology that help reveal these blocks and once we understand and throw the light on them, it is easier to move them out of our life and help us understand and reveal the depth of our karma.
If you understand basic Vedic astrology involving planetary and sign signatures and house, then you should be able to pick up this material easily. You do not have be familiar with these shadowy planetary influences already but early knowledge can help.
It is recommended that you ideally have taken my Schools of Karma class which was a primer for Vedic Psychology and it is available for purchase for 195.00 at: http://www.
It is not absolutely required but will be helpful.
Topics to be covered include: Multiple levels an meanings in Vedic astrology, the schools of karma and their connections to the planets and houses, bhadaka, dagda rashis, impact of Rahu and Ketu, , the moon chart and psychological patterns, deep karmic curses and ancestral patterns. Also new material on the Upagrahas and Lajjita Avasthas and exploration of blind spots and the 12th and 8th and 7th and 4th houses and remedies to handle these challenges.
The emphasis is on recognition and practical tools to transform these blocks that are ruling or ruining our lives.
