Hi everybody,
About 3 weeks ago, Ernst explained in a reply to a forum member that anything that the VERY bad conjunction of stationary Venus, Saturn and Rahu lands on is going to be hell. I decided this was a an interesting opportunity to watch what happens in my life, and I can really say now, it has been silently building up over the past weeks and now the “hell” has indeed arrived. For me the conjunction lands on my 8th house(cusp), I’m dealing with sudden huge change, confusion, uncertainty, sadness, and a choice to make between two situations which both lead to some form of grief for me. I am interested to know how this conjunction is turning out for others, in other areas of life, as I find this very interesting to learn from (I haven’t studied transits yet) If anyone wants to share their experience I would love to read it, as I hold onto the reins 🙂

I am watching this conjunction from a very long time and it is on my rising sign, it has been an extremely difficult yet productive time for me difficult because Venus and Mercury were ashamed for a long time here and productive because Saturn Venus and Mercury all form vipareet Raj yoga so difficulties are pushing to figure out something extremely new because of Rahu, so I have been understanding lot of new stuff because of this.
@amit so interesting for Pisces Lagna, Mercury 4th, Venus 8th, Saturn 12th L. All churning together with Rahu 🙂
@amit Interesting to read how this worked out for you. Very nice that you have been understanding new things because of it!
Although it was slowly building up as you say, the drowning began for me on 7th April, Rahu Mercury Saturn Venus within 2 degrees 27º-25º Pisces. Venus Retrograding.
My Jupiter right there at 27º
A bit earlier 17º my Sun.
Pisces is my 12th house, no cusp in.
Truly hell. Not only the chaotic situation with unexpected events where my actions could barely help. These 2 months and a half started from many different fronts of my life until eventually a sudden serious health issue of my mother took over and I had to give up everything and go to help. So on one hand the events, but on the other hand, it triggered an emotional (or mental?) response in me that I've never lived. An unceasing fear was haunting me, increadibly intense for more than one week, affecting the sleep and a permanent knot in the stomach.
The intensity of the fear was slowly dissolving, and sleep recovered rather quick, only the stomach knot remains and pops up sometimes.
I was thinking of the fear Ersnt talks about Rahu- Saturn. I was so so helpless with those so bizarre haunting fears. Never in my life I had anything similar.
I was looking everyday the transits, but they were so slow..., I was really doubting if I'd be able to bear it.
For me the moment Mercury left the conjunction and entered Aries it was a little bit of release. A little bit but noticeable.
I wonder if the fact that it happens in a dusthana makes it worst.
A friend of mine, Virgo lagna, with Rahu in Pisces. His mother had urgently to go through a very serious surgery in the brain, apparently it's been ok.
Another Virgo lagna friend, with Jupiter and Mercury in Pisces and Sun in Aries, her father suddenly passed away. The new Moon of 29 March a couple of degrees from her Sun. Her father was gone 2 days earlier.
At the beginning of the eclipse period I was preparing some new details to implement to my activities, and starting some resolutions about my life style...of course everything has been completely disrupted.
And now in a situation of uncertainty trying to figure out the reasonable way and my heart desire about how to continue.
@marianela thanks for your story, interesting to read. Bizarre haunting fears…that must be difficult as well. Fears related to loss? (12th house?) As I mentioned I didn’t study transits yet but I love to watch and relate what is happening right now above and below, and I think this is an interesting opportunity to “play” with this as it is happening. I can relate the fears that pop up for me to the 8th house.
Your last sentence (in a situation of uncertainty….) is also true for me, and it’s foggy too…. It’s a good thing I have courage and trust because this is really a “hell” that is happening and I feel like my whole foundation is knocked from under my feet to be honest.
But we’ve got this, it all happens for a reason, and this too shall pass.
I hope your mother is doing much better!
@satyamaya I forgot to say: my mom has Saturn, Venus and Mercury in Pisces. Her Sun in Aries 1 degree away from the Sun-Moon conjunction of 29 March.
Yes, the fears were about loss.
Oct-Nov 2012 and Oct-Nov 2013 was the last time we had eclipses with Rahu-Saturn conjunction. That time in Scorpio. My 8th house and cusp, but no planets in.
It was also a period of novel experiences eventually signifying a turning point in my life. A new awareness. That time it was dealing with relationships. One in 2012, another one in 2013. I guess one for each eclipse theme 🙂 While I had been many years before and after without relationships. Anyway, that time there were also some extrange fears, not haunting as this time, but very hidden. The ones of 2025 have been very clear.
In Oct-Nov 2012 my sometimes disabling back issues became chronic. I thought maybe my career as dancer was ending. But it's not what a call a fear, that was just a sad perspective. The issue was emotional about the relationship. But as far as I remember, only during these periods of Rahu-Saturn I've been under so powerful-bizarre fears.
Saturn transit on 8th makes either a boost or a change in career. On 2013 I started to study Feldenkrais, first in order to heal my back, but eventually it has also become another source of income.
The eclipses of Oct-Nov 2013 provoked a long period of insomnio. 4 years, the whole process until fully healed. But I did it by my own and it's something I am proud of.
At that time a lot of my life was just about dealing with it. Very few energy to do other stuff. I had got a grant to make a dance piece, I couldn't rehearse almost at all, I was just paying the rent and lying on the floor. The firmness of the floor was nicer for my nervous system than the bed.
Sometimes going out and feel the light and warmth of the Sun was the enlivening experience of the day.
But somehow it was such a significant time, such a growth process. I got more compassionate. I saw human fellows under a new light. And I did mature and got stronger. Not in one year!
I feel the present transits on my 12th are also developping a big change. Soon Saturn will enter Aries, but later on will retrograde and stay in Pisces another 4-5 months with Rahu, although not so close.
@marianela beautiful to read how you see the significance of that long insomnia period. That must have been very difficult, I’m happy for you that you got out of it and that you got many treasures because of it.
Thanks for mentioning that Saturn transit on the 8th makes for either a boost or change in career! I didn’t know that yet. There has been something bubbling inside me that I saw as a possible career-boosting idea, and since I am not at all thinking about ever changing my astrology-career, I positively decide that it has to be option a 😁
@satyamaya It's in the Positional Transits course. The most important transits are the transits to 1st and 12th and the transits to the crucial bhavas. Every planet has some crucial bhavas. For Saturn the 8th is one of them. The effect gets stronger when they retrograde there.
Good luck 🙂
Amit has mentioned about self-factors in Pisces to ascertain the impact. I understand it's been so strong for me: Sun, Ju AK and Swamsa.
And to drink well the juice I'm running Ju/Ra/Ju.
@marianela Welcome to the experience of a Rahu/Saturn conjunction... (I have it in my 11th house.) Unless you already have it in your birth chart?

3rd cusp falls at 25 Pisces. And Saturn maturation with Sa/Ma opposition. And I was running a DB antar-dasha until late last year. Mahadasha lord in 6th.
So, been a crazy time over past year and a half even with just Sa there. The conjunction just intensified some things. I've had life events in a sibling that has been stressful. Separated from work peers. Difficult interviews where interviewers either try to show their superiority AND for the ones that went well, got ghosted.
And common themes with others above, extreme uncertainty, something new is needed, but don't know WHERE to put in the effort, esp as Sa lagna ld and Ve as 10th ld are both in difficult conjunctions.
On the positive side, as Ve separates and later Sa separates hope something starts showing and things get clearer.
@jam1 interesting to read about your 3rd cusp experiences. Yes, slowly but surely things are noticeably getting a little less intense.
Well I can’t say that this conj affected me in a terribly awful way, but related - Pluto is currently on my Venus and my diet is getting a complete overhaul. The chronic fatigue got to the point where I could only lay on the floor for several hours a day and so now I’m eating mostly a raw vegan diet (plus homemade milk kefir). I have energy again! I still need to sort out the details bc if I have to drink a sprouted buckwheat smoothie every day for the rest of my life I’m going to give up. That said, I’m so happy that I am not a zombie anymore.
@karinia Hi Karinia, I'm on a similar journey myself. You probably have heard about him already but in case you haven't, to me Dr Robert Morse is the epitome of a Healer. He is a naturopathic doctor who has helped tens of thousands of people, and he is a very kind and spiritual person as well. Have been following him for something like 8 years, he is the real deal.
@karinia You can check some of his videos on his own channel: https://morses.tv/. He was raised on a dairy farm and had a blocked nose and other issues in his youth, at some point decided to leave everything behind and be on his own, and lived purely on oranges for 6 months. He had divine revelations during this time and dedicated his life to naturopathy, he talks a lot about spirituality in his videos, which are basically answers to people's questions about their health issues.
