(5 June 2023)  The Jupiter-Rahu conjunction at the top of the chart may be seen as one of the bullish drivers for the market in recent weeks.  The fact that Jupiter (10 Aries) is approaching a conjunction with bullish Venus (14 Aries) should also be seen as a potential source of positive sentiment but it’s still a bit too far away for my taste.

Saturn is approaching its station at 13 Aquarius, however, and could offset much of the Jupiterian good vibes.  Saturn will form a tense 45-degree alignment with the Moon (28 Pisces) for much of June.  The 45-degree angle is equivalent to a conjunction in the D-8 divisional varga chart.

It will interesting to watch what happens when retrograde Pluto aligns with Rahu and Ketu and thus sets up a very tight alignment with the Ascendant at 5 Cancer.  It seems difficult, although some of the damage could be muted by the presence of the Sun (6 Taurus) in larger alignment.   This is unlikely to have any immediate effect since Pluto and the nodes move very slowly.
