The Sun who is strongly placed for fortune, wealth and success of children, goes to the 6th house on Tuesday AM to support good organization, analytical and management skills with Mercury. Very service minded. The downside of this is the possibility of health problems to children and tensions in relationships.

But a strong Venus on the 7th house is the one who will support marriage/long-term partnerships for the rest of the year. Check your charts if you plan to invest big in the next 4 weeks. At the other end the Moon begins the week on the 9th house of fortune and gets to the 10th house tomorrow afternoon. This is very nice for success in career. Tuesday afternoon is very auspicious. For more financial gain Friday is the best when the Moon is on PN [see box] and on the 11th house of major gain and fulfilment. Those who are spiritually oriented will have an excellent weekend.

The Sun going to your 5th house on Tuesday for a month is excellent for fortune, success in academic, organization/management, investments, help from highly placed persons. This is a fine raja yoga with Mercury strongly placed in his own 5th house. Do not expect much Tuesday 14:49- Thursday 23:54 when Mercury is on MB. This period could cause some confusion in your reasoning and can cause some distress to kids.

The Moon may cause some mental distress to you as the week begins on the 8th house but goes to the 9th house of fortune tomorrow afternoon [fortunate journeys] and nice for overall luck and grace. For excellence and outstanding performance on the workplace Thursday and Friday are the best. Ruler Venus strongly placed in the 6th house gives great positive energy and determination to succeed. Lucky for those seeking romance and relationships up to Nov 22.

Those in real estate, travel, shipping, transportation, vehicles and machinery, education, writing, publishing, agriculture will be have good success in the next month. If that is what the Sun is capable of giving in the 4th house, strongly placed Mercury and Venus could give you much more. Fortune, success, wealth and happiness. Your fortune could slow down a bit Tuesday 14:49- Thursday 23:54. Also some damage to vehicles and property plus mental distress. This is due to Mercury on MB and the Moon in your 8th house.

Watch Wednesday 13:28- 15:25 when she will be on MB too in the 8th house to boot. It pays to be more conscious during these hostile periods. The Moon gets to the 9th house on Wednesday night which is nice for fortune both material and spiritual and a fulfilling weekend.

Strongly placed Jupiter for fortune, expansion, and divine protection. The Sun for financial gain, and earning thru acquired and refined skills. Mercury for success in communication, sales, marketing, writing, performing arts, successful efforts and Venus for the right emotional peace and joy and spiritual openness, intuition and Mars for wealth thru career.

Saturn for unexpected gain. Rahu excellent for material gain. That is a fine mix of positive planetary placements for you this week and more to come. When the Sun goes to the 3rd house for a month on Tuesday there will more short travels, more energy, more help from sibling, community and all these help you to achieve more. Thursday and Friday may cause more restlessness to be followed by a sublime weekend.

The ruler Sun who could have got some new contacts thru highly placed persons now goes to the 2nd house on Tuesday for a month. The focus goes beyond financial resources here. This is very nice for increasing your cash flow especially with Mercury the money-man, and together the two planets can bring success thru speech and communication, learning new skills. Gives refinement and finesse. Jupiter fully capable of unexpected gain and status for another 10 months.

All you need is some supportive Dashas in your natal charts. Watch Mercury MB Tuesday 14:49- Thursday 23:54 if you are investing. A surprise in the weekend when the Moon and Jupiter exchange houses. This is excellent for spiritual and community work. Also likely to get connected to a profitable foreign source.

The Sun also a Satvick [higher/divine] planet goes to your Lagna to join ruler Mercury on Tuesday for a month. You get more generous and charitable. Excellent for community service. Will find great happiness thru helping others. Ensure however that you do not over extend yourself. Tuesday - Thursday merits more awareness when Mercury is on MB. Your rational mind could get confused, you get hit with fines like speeding/parking and may overspend. Low vitality.

Wednesday 23:16- Saturday 10:53 the Moon will be passing your 6th house of hurt and sickness, and it is a time to be more watchful. Today thru Wednesday night however the Moon is very supportive for emotional happiness, creativity and fortune. Do not forget your Venus for $$, journeys, fortune and luck for the rest of the year.

A successful week especially for your career. Monday afternoon all the way to Saturday morning. Tuesday afternoon and Friday are the best days. Those having foreign connections in their line of work will be nicely supported for 4 weeks. Also those in care giving, hospitality trades. Be above board in all your financial transactions. Fines, penalties, debts, court cases also possible.

Excellent for spiritual activities like pilgrimages, visiting retreats. Strong ruler Venus gives good health, wealth and protection. Saturn has enough time to stabilize your fortune. So is Jupiter for career development. Mars nicely placed for $$S and also to help build intimate relationships. It is Rahu in the 8th house who could still be challenging even to a lesser degree, especially your health, harmony in relationships and partner's financial resources.

If the Sun was able to give you more power, prestige and recognition in your career [ will continue do so until Tuesday 04:47] on the 10th house, he is sure to bring in more $$$ thru your work. The money comes with glory and fulfilment. That is for the 4 weeks starting Tuesday. This could also make you a better job offer but that is after Oct 15. A fine week begins with the Moon on the 2nd house. The gainful week gets better after Wednesday when the Moon goes to 4/5 houses. So you get wealth both material and excellent for the spiritual especially in the weekend. Ruler Mars very strongly placed on the 10th house thru to Oct 6. Simply it is all about career and $$$ for the next few weeks. Romance and relationships are blessed too.

The coming together of the 9th and 10th house lords of fortune, power, wealth, prestige, divine grace, starts on Tuesday 4:47 am for a month. This is one of the top most fortunate and powerful Yogas [Dharma/Karma plus a Budha Adhitya Yoga] More importantly it happens on the 10th house, the highest point in your chart and Mercury is in powerful Mooola Trikona degrees. Your knowledge expands and business/career too.

However do not expect much Tuesday 4:49pm-Thursday 11:54pm when Mercury hits his MB. With Venus on the house of major gain and Mars on the house of fortune, this is the time when fortune wants to cuddle you.

The Sun going to the 9th house on Tuesday for a month is excellent for research, spiritual evolution [yoga/meditation]. Unexpected gain or fortune. Inheritance, gifts, insurance benefits. Gets brownie points from your supervisors for your excellent performance. But a badly placed Sun in your natal chart could reverse or slow down the above good indications.

Bliss in relationships gets better after Monday. The best still and for the rest of the year is Venus on her own 10th house. If running Dashas involve her and other well placed planets in your natal charts it brings glory to career, wealth, power and happiness. More wealth after Oct 6 when Mars comes to the 9th house. Relationships/partnerships will be fulfilling. The Moon this week helps you focus on partnerships: to build and to improve, to make them profitable and fulfilling.

The Sun going to the 8th house on Tuesday for a month would be a blessing for the spiritually oriented to expand their research and investigations along spiritual and also mystical lines. Some will meet partners of mystical bent . The flipside is the Sun can also threaten both health and well being of partnerships. Although most helpful Venus is well placed on the house of fortune and Saturn also on the 5th house of fortune the next 4 weeks starting Tuesday requires much sensitivity to emotional needs of partner. Mars is fine for prestige thru career up to Oct 6. Unexpected expenses, fines Monday-Wednesday and aggressive feelings Thursday and Friday and these need to be consciously managed. A retrograde Mercury on MB Tuesday thru to Thursday night can also affect your reasoning and good judgment.

From Sep 1 thru to end of the year, the love in you for the sublime will expand considerably. With it the interest in the unexplained and in mystic, of spiritual bent. Any research into these realms will truly be a process of fulfilling your potential. There will be profitable partnerships. If running truly bad dashas of badly placed Saturn, Venus, Rahu and Jupiter in your natal chart there could be problems in the reproductive area..

And partnerships could be disturbed from next week for a month. This week the best for worldly affairs is after Wednesday. Weekend is the best when the Moon and Jupiter exchange 5/10 houses. This is very nice for fortune and power, success in career and for.
