Key Transits in December 2021

The month of December will witness several astronomical phenomena of significance, key among which are given below:

Above all, there would be mundane Kaal Sarpa Yoga that is only partially broken by Moon’s transit. These transits are very relevant from both mundane and individual perspectives. Below are some of the noteworthy points:

• Conjunction of Mars & Ketu – Ketu and Mars’ transit over eclipse point without any benefic protection is expected to deliver some very disturbing results since both are fiery planets and denotes aggression, accident and sudden events. So, there will be every possibility of violence, internal and external aggression, natural calamities, demise of some important leaders, accidents. Military and defence personnel are also under threat due to this conjunction.

As this conjunction is happening in the sign of Scorpio, the capital market, infrastructure sector and real estate businesses (and/or land related disputes, signified by Mars) will be adversely impacted as well. Pending litigation matters should be put to hold for now to avoid any aggressive outcomes due to Mars – Ketu conjunction.

In addition, there would be huge volatility in the stock market that is expected to continue for some more time. It is recommended to trade with extra caution during the month. In addition, avoid any surgical procedures unless absolutely imperative.

• Venus’ Stagnation, Retrogression & Demotion – Venus becomes retrograde only once in about 2 years hence this transit is very significant. Once again this is not a favourable transit for both individual and mundane events.

In particular, this will adversely affect relationships, the entertainment industry and females in general. Apart from relationships, Venus also represents overall prosperity and enjoyment of general people; hence people will feel stressed and general gloominess would be observed.  Some bad news related to entertainment (films/fashion), hospitality industry or the digital media can be expected.

Avoid taking any commitment, engagement in relationship matters specially till Venus becomes direct and re-enters Capricorn at the end of February 2022. 

Overall, all the planets will be within Rahu-Ketu axis forming mundane kaal-sarpa yoga. Royal planet Sun’s transit is also not good as it will be hemmed between 2 malefics – Mars and Saturn. This is not good for the government, head of the states & institutions and other authority figures. They will face a lot of opposition & protest from subordinates and the public.

A major saving grace is the transit of Jupiter to Aquarius where it is alone and not afflicted. So any major unfavorable incident would not happen if there is a protection in the individual natal chart and the New Year Chart for the country/states.

Please note that events do not occur exactly when the exact conjunction happens; events happen when luminaries make relationships with transiting planets. Also, these indications will hold true for mundane as well as at individual level.

In particular, for individuals Gemini, Capricorn, Virgo, Aquarius and to some extent Pisces signs are protected from all the above malefic transits. But they also must take extra precautions.

Aries: Health issues, accidents, injuries and surgery possibilities might arise. Financial matters would be OK. Be cautious about your relationship matters.
