BSE weekly transit chart

(5 June 2023) The influences here look very mixed. Jupiter is still aligning with the Ascendant by opposition, although it is moving away from its theoretical maximum influence.  Also, it is still 10 degrees from forming even a minor aspect with Mercury (20 Gemini) and thus not very strong.  Optimism could be in shorter supply here.

Saturn isn’t forming any full-strength aspects but it is quite close to a 150-degree alignment with the Moon which may be more difficult.  It has moved past an exact alignment but it will recreate that alignment shortly after it turns retrograde on June 17.

More worrisome is that the nodes, Rahu and Ketu, are approaching some significant hits to the Ascendant, Saturn and Venus by conjunction and 120-degree/5th house aspect.  These seem a bit too far away to do much damage now, but the nodes often associated with volatility.
