The pumping iron scene I wrote a couple of weeks back looks bright now with Mercury going to Virgo and to his exaltation degrees Thursday by sunrise. Mercury can also give the strength to fight back hostilities. Both within like sickness and without like adversary or enemy activities. And more importantly on 4/5 houses of prestige, dignity and fortune, success in learning wealth. Mars after being with exalted 9th house ruler of fortune Jupiter helping more shine in career now joins [Tuesday 06:13h] the 5th ruler Sun who is on powerful Moola Trikona degrees. Like I said before the king and the commander on the royal palace and they perform very well here to raise you up. Both however, on Gandantha [see box] and do not expect much this week. The Sun until Tuesday 16:04h and Mars until 11:58h on Sunday

 

Five planets are aspecting your 11th house which is nice for gain but not for health. Mercury the money man goes to the 5th house and will be exalted which will be very nice for $$$. A Raja Yoga occurs there with ruler Venus on the house of fortune. Very supportive for creative/artistic /intellectual activities too. Again Mars [being the 12th house ruler] can cause some tensions/changes in your career. The week begins with the Moon on the 8th house which is nice for spiritual work and after Tuesday 7:43 am she goes to the 9th house fortune/travel and on Thursday evening to the 10th house and that's lots of positive energy on the work place.

 

When the Lagna lord gets strong it is always nice for any individual's mind, body and spirit. By Thursday sunrise Mercury begins his exaltation degrees and that means more harmony in the home environment, good time to add to capital assets, excellent for success in learning/upgrading skills, and for emotions and creativity, wealth and prestige. He causes a Rajayoga with Venus on a Kendra house. Those having strongly placed Rahu in their birth charts will get more income/wealth. Writers/artists/sales/IT-communication/teachers/
counselors and mostly all trades and business/career get much awaited support of these two most helpful planets for the rest of the year. Mars goes to join the Sun on the 3rd house on Tuesday. If you need more energy and the will to win: both horse-power and velocity this is it. Tuesday thru to Thursday 5:14 pm could make you restless with the Moon in the 8th house.

 

The Dhana Yoga $$$ caused by Jupiter and Mars in Lagna ends at 6:13 am Tuesday when Mars moves out to the 2nd house of $$$. There he begins another with a strong Sun. Note however that both Mars and the Sun are hooked on obstructing Gandantha/GD zone. The Sun until Tuesday 4:04 pm and Mars up to 11:58 am on Sunday. They get strong after that. Your 9th house of fortune is seen by 5 planets which is nice too for tune and travel. The travel scene looks best where the 9th house indications are concerned.

Specially for long travel. Of the planets that see the 9th house Mercury, Saturn and Jupiter are responsible for foreign travel. Mars for career and fortune and Ketu to enhance fortune if well placed or associated with helpful planets in your natal chart. Although Mars is your Yoga Karaka or most helpful this week on GD can even cause some tensions/obstacles on the work place, specially Thursday evening thru to Sunday

 

We have discussed the neecha banga/destruction of debility of Mars and Venus. The scene now begins to unfold even better to help your fortune and $$$. This time no vipareeth/reverse or surprise raja-yogas. Just plain straight ones. For a starter Mars joins the Sun in your Lagna. You know that for anything we look for a strongly placed Lagna lord. Your ruler Sun is in his Moola Trikona house. Leo the royal palace. Mars and the Sun cause a very fortunate raja yoga for fortune, wealth and power. The conjunction of the Lagna and the 9th lord of fortune. See Aries.

Both are on GD this week but get strong after that. The next is the conjunction 10/11 lords Venus and Mercury. The latter literally is your money-man or the bank machine. If you thought a debilitated Venus [her debility is cancelled due to her 3rd house ownership] was not lighting up your career path wait for Thursday sunrise when Mercury gets there to be exalted. With Rahu exalted on 10th house should give you unusual skills on the work place and some psychic powers to understand and benefit from mass trends

 

The bad guy Mars gets to another good spot Tuesday but note his GD zone transit up to 11:58 am Sunday. Take care not to hurt your feet, hips or overstrain your eyes. On Thursday morning. I have written so much about this most fortunate and powerful Dharma-Karma Raja Yoga of 9/10 lords. Yours to discover. For the airy /intuitive/creative/methodical/ perfectionsit Virgo this is it. Only you can blow it. Even Rahu on the 9th and exalted can support your fortune and wealth [both spiritual and material] for the next 12 months and change. More shine to your career. Advancement. Better job offers. Note your travel houses are fully loaded. They also mean glory in public life. As for romance, revving up like a formula car, more noise though

 

The unexpected gain that Mars can give to Virgo [see above] applies to your ruler Venus on the 12th house. Take care not to hurt your feet and eyes and also your reproductive system. Yet the conjunction of trikona lords like Venus and Mercury give good results from any house if other factors are supportive in your natal chart. 5 planets are aspecting your 6th house. Meaning if not careful can cause debts, legal problems, enemy problems and sickness. Watch the weekend or rather after Thursday 5:14 pm.

Anticipate less cooperation from your co-workers and be cool with them. Although your 6th house Pisces is cool/watery by nature planets aspecting it like Saturn.Mars and Ketu are fiery in nature.

 

Let Jupiter continue to protect you with Divine grace and support your overall fortune from his exaltation sign your 9th house of fortune, prime values, higher philosophical side of the mind, travel and meeting with spiritual gurus. A raja yoga caused jointly by your ruler and Jupiter now shifts to your 10th house or the highest point in your chart. The Sun your 10th ruler is strongly in his own house and ruler Mars joins him. The king and commander meeting at the palace.

The beginning of that glorious period begins on Sunday. On Thursday Mercury goes to the 11th house of major gain and fulfillment to get himself exalted. Rahu too is better on the 7th and you will meet or have good relationships with persons outside your cultural background. The Moon is fine passing 4/5 houses in the 2nd half of the week. What is your problem now!

 

Those who under-estimate Jupiter on the unfavourable 8th house are like the ones that one philosopher wrote about; "Man's tragedy is that once he was a kid". No body supports growing up like a strong Jupiter. He helps your spiritual growth, the profound knowledge. This he will carry to dizzy heights after next July when he goes to your 9th house of fortune, prime values, Dhamma. This week your 9th house gets hot with Mars joining the Sun on the 9th house on Tuesday. By Thursday sunrise, Mercury who too was a major player in that fortune causing yoga with the Sun and Mars moves to his own 10th house and to get himself exalted. When the 9th and 10th lords are strongly placed and supported by 5th and 11th lords, some Sagittarians are going to get very lucky.

 

Mars going to join the Sun on the 8th house may warrant more cool and empathy on the home front and health consciousness. Specially this week as both will be on GD. See Aries. Mercury who was in the 8th house moves to his own 9th house on Thursday. He gets exalted and his better side takes the better of him. Plus a major raja yoga with Venus the 10th lord.

With ruler Saturn on the 6th and Mercury and Venus on the 9th [Nodes on 5/11 fortune axis] your fortune will roll well now and may even take you overseas to make fortune foreign lands. Your spirituality will grow, your soul will be on the ascent. A conscious effort is needed here as Saturn aspects both the Sun and Mars in the frustrating 8th house. You emotions have to be consciously managed because the planetary energies can make you aggressive. It is not easy for Mercury and Venus, but you can help the 2 planets to help your fortune

 

Mars goes to the 7th house on Tuesday to join the Sun. Being the 10th house ruler his conjunction with the Sun the 7th ruler is excellent for power and high status in public life. However both planets are on GD. See Aries. So do not expect much from them. The Moon needs watching specially when she passes MB,s. They are tonight 23:57h - Monday 01:47h for hurt and sickness, Thursday 07:31- 09:28h for sickness/losses, and Friday 03:00- 04:58h, for hurt, confrontations. Since the Sun and Mars are also on Gandantha/GD the week requires much cool plus more awareness when Moon passes MB's.

 

The Sun strong on the 6th house gives much endurance and competitive spirit. Jupiter/Mars raja yoga rolls until Tuesday sunrise, but slows down due to GD zone of Mars See Aries. Mars then joins the Sun and Mercury on the 6th house. Here too he suffers on GD until Sunday 11:58 am and also because he is too close to the Sun. The 6th gives many short travels.

Mercury goes to 7th house which is nice for heart connections, public life and also long travel. With Venus he can speed up marriages too. More planets see travel houses. After Tuesday some long/overseas travel. Job related travel in the 2nd half of the week. The Moon begins the week gracefully on the 10th house. Tuesday morning - Thursday evening she connects with Jupiter and that is nice for $$$ and completing tasks well.

Even the Moon gets associated with journeys after Thursday afternoon which could cause a hole in your wallet. Five planets see your Lagna. Some of them can cause aggressive behaviour. Again with Jupiter's grace you get the strength to stay on course.
