Watching the news tonight, I'm hearing of at least two incidents that reflect the current Jupiter-Rahu conjunction in Aries. Jupiter represents law and justice. Rahu represents the masses and/or mobs. Union Square Park in NYC was mobbed yesterday (8/4/2023) when a 21-year old social media influencer posted that his fans should meet him at the … Continue reading Current Jupiter-Rahu Conjunction (2023)
