Forecast for Lagna/Ascendant Aug 04-11

 

Last Sunday we discussed how Saturn on your 3rd house can help fill you with energy, like pumping iron. The monolith that can endure hostilities and competition. Specially so if Mercury sitting in Virgo [exalted] or Gemini in a Aries birth chart. This week Mercury is parked in your 5th house. A Vipareet Raja Yoga for a 5th house Mercury, if sans benefic connections: aspects or associations [because of his 3/6 house ownerships].

The rule is that it negates the poverty and debts denoted by 3/6 houses, like two negatives making a plus. Yet MB.s of Pluto, and Ketu are also effective strongly for another month. These affect countries more than individuals, but still mindfulness is required, not to let any sickness to aggravate. The Moon is very supportive for energy, delight, creativity and $$$ the 2nd half of the week.

 

It might take some honest-to-God effort to keep your cool until 6:53 am tomorrow with the Moon hooked on Rahu-Ketu Axis along 1/7 houses [see Aries. Your RKA affliction is about how you project yourself to the outer world, your personality, mannerisms, and your ability to cooperate with others.

But these get a little better after tomorrow] [have you driven a VW lately] or like the V-tech Honda. That is if you are traveling, and your travel houses [6 out of 9 planets] are still hot and loaded. With Venus now on the 5th chances for accidents are much less. The week gets better. The best is the weekend. When The Moon passes Mercury and Venus.

 

If yesterday and today burnt a big black hole in your wallet and still smoking, the coming weekend should be the opposite with the Moon passing Mercury and Venus. Last Sunday I wrote that Saturn sees your 10th house from your Lagna right now and thru to May 26, 2005, and if he connects with your natal Jupiter in transit, both planets can raise you even to dizzy heights in your career or public life, if supported by good running Dashas or planetary periods plus Jupiter/Moon connection is present. All depends on how many raja yogas are there in your chart at birth.

Jupiter mounts the fortunate 2nd PN today 11:35h thru to Aug 19th which is very nice for speech full of wisdom, taste, communication and $$$. When a planet is on good degrees, even its aspects specially to the 10th house gets better and supportive . Ruler Mercury goes on PN on Saturday night, and Venus on a neecha-banga on PN Thursday thru to Sunday AM. So while Jupiter refines your skills, Mercury boosts your intelligence and writing skills, and Venus the joy of delight and $$$. The Nodes on sickness/losses causing 6/12 axis get better after tomorrow. Watch your arms, face and neck thru to Monday afternoon.

 

The surprise raja yoga by Saturn in your 12th house Gemini will work surprisingly well if Mercury and Saturn have exchanged Gemini and Aquarius in your natal chart. Dahsas or planetary periods are most vital to support fortune in life. That is why I emphasize the nature of Dashas unfolding in a given time. Once the yogas, and dashas fit , then we look at the transits which is what this column is about. When the planets get supportive in transit, that is when good things happen and conversely too. So the best Raja yoga of Mars and Jupiter rolls well and gets better as Jupiter begins his 2nd PN degrees today @ 11:35 thru to 19:02h on Aug 19.

So if other factors are supportive a significant raise in your career could be seen as early as Aug 20 - Oct 06 this years. Your best days during above period are Sep 20-25 , and Oct 1-4 when Mars in Leo will be on PN degrees.. The 2nd half of this better with the Moon passing Lagna and the 2nd house causing another Dhana Yoga.

 

Raja Yogas [see Gemini] even if located in trik houses [6/8/12] in a birth chart will give good results if other factors are supportive. In Jyotish or the Science of Light: a Atma Vidya leading to better self-knowledge, nothing is black or white. A good feature is the mutual exchange of houses by the 6/8/12 owners, neecha banga, to be on PushkaraBhaga, PN, in good company, seen by the good guys etc. A similar scenario is still unfolding in your 12th house. The major indicator here is the foreign connection.

Simply wealth, power, associated with the foreign houses. According to Parashara 9 and 12 houses are the major foreign houses and both their rulers are now together in the 12th house. If the Moon was placed in your Sagittarius or better still your Pisces the yogas fit nicely and now thru to Feb 25 next year [I am tracking Venus, your 10th lord] you can expect fulfillment, and work towards your aspirations along these lines. Supported by Dashas of course. Rahu and Ketu get friendly after Monday and better after Sep 3.

 

Mercury on the 12th is about career changes. New job offers, or change within career. In politics, the desire to change colours. Gain thru travel, travel associated with work. May look hazy right now, and with Mercury on GD/Gandantha until 1:57 pm tomorrow. Be cool until then.

The scene gets clear after that. Some may find obstacles suddenly popping up in their career path, and some will be intensely frustrated. When Mercury and Venus come together in your Lagna, the fortune, power, fulfillment begins to roll for the next 7 months in the first phase. Aug 22-Sep 11 is the best period for the career. For wealth thru career [raise etc] Oct 28- Nov 15. For more energy and wealth Nov 15- Dec 5 and for more $$$, prestige, creativity, fortune all the way up to Mar 2, 03 Travel and meeting spiritually evolved foreigners, and benefits thru them stands out like a rainbow.

 

Mercury now gone to your 11th house of major gain, the wealth machine has to shift into high gear. And because he owns both 9/12 houses those in import export or doing business with foreign sources should do well. If Mercury was sitting in your Taurus there is a fine yoga for unexpected gain, raise working with Venus.

Again it links to foreign things as the 12th house is connected. If the Moon and Saturn, Venus and Mercury are well placed in your chart, and supported by good Dashas, this is it. See Virgo for best periods of Venus and Mercury for the coming months. Those apply to wealth and gainful travel.

 

The mere presence of Saturn in the 8th house is not scary. It may not be great for sensuality or lust where the feelings or emotions are concerned, and may not good for younger siblings or mother. The vital thing here is how strongly your Mercury is placed in your birth chart. Also your ruler Mars. Saturn her is good for longevity. If weak can cause nervous problems.

Mercury now on the 10th house can also cause obstacles to your career due to his 8th house rulership until Aug 22. And because he owns the 11th house his association with the Sun 15th -22nd could bring prestige too [his duality] if other factors like Dashas are supportive. Mercury is more than compensated by Jupiter, Mars and the Sun on your 9th house of fortune.

 

With Mercury's arrival in your 9th house of fortune yesterday obstacles and tensions on the work place as well as in partnerships or intimate relationships should make way for auspicious things. Like marriage with blessings of the elders for those seeking and fortune thru career. More travel related to your work. Some long or overseas, like deputations and similar missions. Some may accept foreign job offers. Those looking for work overseas will be successful specially after the Sun arrives in the 9th house on the 15th.

A most powerful yoga for fortune and power for you is the interaction of the Sun and Mercury. Aug 15-22 is such a best period [with the Sun on Moola Trikona] . The next one will be even better with Mercury exalted Sep 15-Oct 15. By Aug 20 the 5th lord Mars will also be on your 9th house. He also owns the 12th house. So the fortunes thru foreign sources comes thru strongly.

 

So the most helpful Venus is now on your 9th house of fortune, long travel, luck and grace and begins another fortunate PN transit on Thursday thru to the weekend. Mercury on the 8th has a downside of challenge to dad's health and well being and the upside is a surprise raja yoga. After that the best yogas come into play. Venus and Mercury. See Virgo for the periods.

Similar good results will come your way. First the wealth and fortune which Mercury can boost on his exaltation on his own 9th house. So up to Mar 26, 03 your wallet will be looked after by Mercury.

His transit of Scorpio your 11th has a downside of possible hurt or sickness Nov 15- Dec 5. Early next year he will arrange a fortune thru foreign sources like travel or employment.. A new job offer indicated in February next year by Venus.. Wednesday-Friday is best this week.

 

Mercury now on your 7th house and jointly with the Sun after the 15th will cause many heart connections and also some heart breaks for he is not that consistent when it comes to true romance or commitment. But the Sun Aug 15-Sep 15 can seal many relationships.

As for personal influence or public life what the Sun begins in his own house, his commander Mars project it far and wide. Leo is the house of royalty and these planets perform well here. So expect much from the Sun and Mars Aug 20-Sep 15 when they are together, That is time to go public to win elections or other competitive or popularity events.

The combination of 7 and 10 lords aspected by Saturn from the 5th house. They also give travel like diplomatic missions or deputations. Diplomacy is the ticket.

 

Possible damage to vehicles or property or personal injury was discussed last week as Mercury has gone to your 6th house. The domain of personal relationships is challenged by both Venus and Mercury strongly until Aug 22. Aug 22-Oct 28 is when your public life begins to shine better again. Nice for recovery of lost wealth, stability in career too.

She goes to the 4th house tomorrow and passes Saturn. Some emotional distress specially Tuesday morning when the Moon is on MB and by Tuesday lunch time she will have moved over 15 degrees away from Saturn and begins her 1st fortunate PN Tuesday 12:53-18:45h and the 2nd PN wee hours of Wednesday. Wednesday 12:03 thru to Friday 14:06 is the best of the week when the Moon joins Jupiter, Mars and the Sun to cause some powerful yogas for fortune and power.
