S3 Episode 3 - Jupiter-Rahu, Mars-Ketu: the planetary quartet of shock and terror in the eclipses of October 2023

Are you curious about the eclipses of October 2023? Do you want to know how they are influenced by a rare and powerful planetary opposition that involves Jupiter, Mars, Rahu and Ketu? In this episode of the Astrology Podcast, we will explore the fascinating and complex dynamics of these four planets. A feature that makes the 28 October Lunar eclipse so interesting is that Jupiter and Mars are in exact opposition, both at 11 degrees, within rippling distance of Rahu and Ketu (respectively). This means that we have two planets that are Vedic Astrology friends, but are influenced by the nodes creating confusion and intensity. How does this affect actions and discernment? How does this affect the world?

We'll refer to historical examples of when this transit occurred in the past. We will also look at what this transit means for individuals, depending on the birth chart and planetary placements. And examine some tips on how to navigate the tension between injustice and discerning action, and how to be compassionate with ourselves during the eclipses of October 2023.

Stay tuned for this exciting episode of the Astrology Podcast, where we will dive deep into the planetary quartet of shock and terror: Jupiter, Mars, Rahu and Ketu in the eclipses of October 2023.
