✧ SIGN FORECASTS ✧
The most anticipated transit since the world changed in 2020 is here!
Saturn is finally moving out of restrictive, fear-driven Capricorn and into innovative, humanitarian Aquarius. This influential transit continues for 2.5 years, from 17 January 2023 to 28 March 2025
In the broader world, we’ll experience continued social unrest that will result in more protective civil legislation.
We’ll see radically innovative technology launch that will change the way we do life (comparable to the invention of the modern & development of the first web browser).
Medicine will experience a Great Leap Forward (comparable to the discovery of penicillin & advances like heart transplants)
We’ll also be faced with sobering reality checks regarding where we might have fallen prey to illusion/delusion and/or conspiracies of one sort or another. This is not a political statement, rather an astrological analysis.
For the most accurate predictions, read your Sidereal Ascendant, Moon & Dashapati signs.

Scroll down to read your Moon & Ascendant signs! Rituals are at the very bottom.
I’m excited to share this sign forecast with you.
Remember, I use the Sidereal zodiac. Usually your Sidereal signs are one sign before Western/Tropical. So if you’re a Libra Moon or Ascendant in Western astrology, your Vedic/Sidereal Moon or Ascendant sign is Virgo. If you don’t know your Sidereal sign, click here to calculate your Sidereal chart.
A quick reminder that major planetary transits like this one refer to about 40% of what’s going on in a chart. How it plays out is unique to your horoscope. For important life decisions I strongly suggest investing in a reading with me or another professional astrologer you trust.
