EYE ON THE SKY: MORE ON MERCURY AND KETU
With the Mercury conjunction to Ketu more intense the next few day, it is time to revisit our article about. Exact conjunction is on Friday with a strong influence into Feb. 12th. Mercury and Ketu do not get along as Ketu is headless and intuitive and Mercury likes to think and be logical. The combination can create scattered thinking, confusion, anger, frenzy and bewilderment or obsessive thinking. The conjunction is happening across from the eclipse point of 18 Cancer and this can create mental disturbance and a mind filled with sudden surprise thoughts that wants to change everything. Wait for the energy to die down before making impulsive decisions. Geminis and Virgo rising will be most impacted but it can bring out strong intuition for them or moving toward deep spiritual thinking.
The key with Ketu is always meditation but with Mercury some grounding exercise and yoga may help to get you in your body and gut and out of your confused mind. Ketu scatters energy so we have to be more grounded to deal with it.
Mercury conjunct Ketu can also bring up quick shifts in thinking with spiritual undertones.
Thoughts may be subtle and highly intuitive during this transit so pay attention to those little hints and ‘ah-ha’ moments! This may be particularly true for Gemini and Virgo rising or those of you with Mercury in the 1st house.  This will be a good time to focus on spiritual and philosophical pursuits in career, hobbies and writing. It’s also a good time to go on a pilgrimage or meditation retreat. Still you have to be thoughtful, discriminating and seek first to understand any new occupation that you undertake in order to avoid losing your mental stability.
Still stay on top of computer backups and virus protection and malware attacks as Mercury conjunct Ketu and Neptune will bring their fair share of problems.

Book Acclaim and What Barry’s Colleagues’ are Saying:
“This almanac is truly a masterpiece and labor of love. Barry is a gifted astrologer and writer. I have written yearly forecasts for over 30 years and understand the work, knowledge and dedication involved. It is so complete with everything a beginner or advanced student of astrology would need. The references to the planet’s transit through the signs, nakshatras, aspects, dates and times, plus their interpretations is fantastic. He even covers the effects these will have on individual countries. I am sure I will be referring to this manual frequently throughout the year.”

His book provides extensive research on the world of Jyotish as well as a detailed analysis of the planetary transits of 2018. My prediction is that it will become a classic cornerstone for any Vedic Astrology library.”
