Sun Transit in Shatabhisha

The Sun spends about two weeks in Shatabhisha surrounded by enemies. The nakshatra is the empty circle, the hundred healers, in Aquarius, ruled by Rahu with Varuna as its deity. Saturn is hostile to the Sun, and the usual lists make Rahu hostile too.

The Sun's significations go into hiding. Authority works through agencies and screens, and government is felt as regulation. A father is distant or unwell.

Health is the main theme, and a chronic complaint of the heart or eyes may find its remedy among the hundred healers. Diagnosis and rest are both favoured. Varuna binds and releases, and Rahu adds obsession, secrecy and the foreign, so the Sun's atma here feels alone in a crowd. Shatabhisha is chara, with its movement turned inward, and the fortnight suits research, seclusion and the settling of a private matter with an official.

Sagittarius, Virgo, Taurus and Aries, from the Moon or the lagna, have the Sun in the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh and gain. Aquarius Moons carry it in the first house and Pisces Moons in the twelfth. Cancer and Scorpio Moons hold the eighth and fourth and should guard health and the home.

The transit shows what a person does when no one confirms them.

For Varuna, offer water and keep a vow made in private. Recite the Aditya Hridaya daily for the health of the heart, with water to the rising Sun. Give wheat or jaggery on Sunday. Avoid intoxicants, and see a physician about anything that has been ignored.
