Saturn's September Transit 2009
Fall is the season in which Vata, the dosha associated with elements of air and space increase. An increase in Vata is experienced physically as dry skin, stiff joints and degrees of sluggish bowel activity. Emotionally, it indicates an increase in anxiety and fear.
Astrologically, the planets associated with Vata are Saturn and Rahu. This September, Saturn moves from the constellation of Leo, which is linked with the solar plexus into Virgo, the constellation linked with the stomach and intestinal system. To manage vata deranging Saturn through his transit in Virgo, we would do well to strengthen our Agni. Agni is fire and in strengthening our digestive fires, we increase our capacity to fight off viruses and bacteria. Strong agni also increases our courage, creating greater capacity to weather change and the unknown.
Rahu is the point in space where the eclipsing of the sun and the moon occur and is the other Vata planet. Rahu is associated with rougue illnesses and specifically, pandemics. Rahu is currently conjoined Jupiter, the planet associated with kapha, the dosha of earth and water in ayurveda. However, in Vedic astrology, Jupiter is the planet linked with the element ether. This may seem confusing until we understand that the power of Jupiter in his capacity to spread and expand space. Jupiter conjoined Rahu would indicate a spreading of rougue disease (there are more aspects to why this is a possibility which will be discussed on another post). This fall, we may see a mutatation of swine flu emerge with greater spreading and effect then last year.
Saturn as a vata planet, dries things up, stopping and or delaying activity and event. In our digestive tract and bowels, this would be constipation and poor absorption however, if we treat Saturn with oils, herbs and correct ayurvedic treatment, Saturn can stop disease or the further spread of illness. In Vedic astrology, this is called propitiating the planet.
So, long story short…prepare for a coming astrological transit that will surely aggravate the effects of vata season with ayurvedic oils, herbs and bodywork correct for your dosha. Be proactive in managing your immune system and bowel activity with correct nutrition and self-care routine.
