Forecast for Lagna/Ascendant Sep 29-Oct 06

Spirited week, starting off looking for some adventure or planning an important launch. This positive , winning attitude gets clarity and form, Tuesday - Thursday , and pays good dividends. Tuesday thru to Friday is best for $$$. All the good things I wrote last week are still good. Ruler Mars goes on fortunate Pushkara Navamsa Tuesday 04:02- Sunday 09:38. This is very nice for fortune , luck and status in the outer world, and joyful self-expression. The weekend however can cause hurt if not watchful. Let me explain. The Moon goes to the 6th house [of hurt, sickness and accidents] on Saturday morning to join the Sun and Mercury. Mars goes on MB Friday 19:57-Sunday 09:38. The 29th degree in Leo. When the ruler gets oppressed physical hurt is very possible. He is also on PN but the 6th house gets loaded. Be very conscious when you travel.

Saturn the most helpful or YogaKaraka is well placed on the 2nd house of financial resources, and continues to stabilize the finances in his own pace. Make the best of Sun and Mercury on the 5th house.

Saturn makes you work hard for the money, and may not go for flashy things. But Mercury can and better still on its exalted degrees. He will help refine the old and traditional things that Saturn represent. For example if you deal in furniture or antiques, you will be inspired to make new designs for today's market. On the 5th house of creativity, inspiration comes with least perspiration. Mid week can see you becoming aggressive in your marketing strategy etc but try your best to be cool with those around you, your partner/s especially. All good things I wrote last week are still good, and watch for the fortunate transits of the Sun and Mercury for $$$ in the coming months.

Today thru to Tuesday is OK for $$$ despite some anxiety and restlessness. The best is Tuesday and Wednesday for wealth and earnings thru very effective communication. You will speak words full of wisdom.

Performs at best. Thursday and Friday shows short travel, and much competitive spirit. Will do well in sales and marketing or simply good job performance once again but with some aggressive attitude. This is nice with Mars on PN but watch also his MB [see box] Friday evening - Sunday morning before he goes to your 4th house. [His 4th house transit requires much awareness as he can easily cause accidents with a Retrograde Lagna Lord who represents your body. We will discuss this in some detail next week] This week Mars on MB can cause hurt to upper limbs, respiratory system and also hurt to siblings.

Today thru to Tuesday sunrise is best for pilgrimages, donating for charities and other community service like helping homes for the aged, orphans. Tuesday and Wednesday are the best for fortune, $$$. Much personal appeal. You will be listened to with honor and appreciation. Most helpful Mars goes on PN Tuesady thru to Sunday morning, which is very nice for job performance, and also for $$$ especially thru to Friday evening. Simply Tuesday thru to Friday your ruler Moon cause two rajayogas with Jupiter and Mars. A busy weekend with many short travels. All other good things I wrote last couple of weeks are still good. An uplifting week that helps you r goals and aspirations gain better clarity and direction

Today and Monday is very supportive for building a partnership with a foreign source. By Thursday you can reap certain benefits thru such a connection. Or in import and export trade. Others will also be rewarded for their good deeds, empathy and charitable nature. Thursday thru to Saturday is the high point of the week for all things said above. A significant success in a foreign place or with foreign dignitaries is strongly shown.

For those spiritually inclined will have a truly fulfilling week end. But with some obstruction as Mars goes on MB Friday evening. Simply Tuesday 19:02 thru to the week end is very fortunate for wealth and fortune both material and spiritual. When a planet on PN hits its MB both good [PN] and ill [MB] effects get neutralised.

A bright week promising success in career today thru to Tuesday sunrise, more gain thru partnerships, buying and selling Tuesday thru to Thursday especially for those in import/ export or other dealings with foreigners, and this rolls well thru to the weekend. Also if not watchful you could get hit with fines.

Especially when traveling, Friday evening thru Sunday morning. The weekend has another challenge, that is the capacity to cause sickness, fevers, digestive system, headaches. Generally the Virgo has to be more heath conscious until Oct 15. Especially Oct 6 -Nov 22. Mars, Mercury and the Sun have to go past their MB. Being the 6th sign of the natural zodiac Virgo can be prone to digestive and lower abdominal problems, this time since Sep 15. But all the good things last week are still good.

A nice week for financial gain and fine job performance. Today and tomorrow is best for success, fortune and creativity relating to career. If you are a student or scholar whose career is learning or researching its all Brownie-points. If you got kids they will perform well too.

Tuesday and Wednesday the spot light is on your work place. You will shine well. If you are on your own you will plan well to expand.

Your business. Thurdsay thru to Saturday noon expect more gain. Mars who can help with more $$$ on the 11th house goes on PN Tuesday to Sunday morning and is best up to Friday sunset. Those having foreign connections [import/export, shipping, hospitality etc] will enjoy a very favourable week. Some are likely to get new job offers in the weekend.

With ruler Mars going on PN Tuesday for rest of the week on the 10th house and the 9th lord of fortune the Moon passing 9th and 10th house from Tuesday, expect a glorious week. Do not be discouraged by a slow start to the week, some what mentally distressed [unless you do inner work] with the Moon in the 8th house with Saturn [not good for your father's fortunes too] We discussed this last week.

The Moon with Saturn and Rahu connection. The weekend looks the best. For fortune $$$, power, glory and also for spiritual work/divine grace. Finances show a clear increase thru to 3rd week of November, and a new job offer after Mid October. This could come with an unexpected high status upon recognition of your merit. Most likely thru foreign sources. Jupiter on the 9th house has a major role to play in all this if he is associated with running Dashas or planetary periods in your natal charts.

The Dharma/Karma Raja Yoga + Budha Adhitya Yoga of the Sun and Mercury continues to roll well with both planets are on PN and Mercury also exalted. Simply it gives both material and spiritual fortune/progress plus shine in career and glory in the outer world. Expands knowledge and power.

The other helpful 5th lord of fortune, success and creativity goes on PN too from Tuesday morning. [A minor ill effect is shown to your relations with children Friday evening thru to Sunday AM] On Sunday Mars joins Sun and Mercury. [Bhadra, Ruchaka, Maha Purusha Yoga etc] Yes very powerful for success in career, launching big projects, public life etc. But there is also a down side. A change in job, a new job offer or if you are in politics change of colors.

A week that urges you to be both mindful and sensitive in personal relationships. Except Tuesday and Wednesday. We can also extend this to business partnerships. Challenges, obstacles and tensions, quick temper, all possible. Mars moves to the 9th house next Sunday, to help you achieve more financially. He can also help with your spiritual side being the 4th lord of the Moksha /Liberation Trine.

Yours and your father's fortunes get markedly better after Oct 15. The most formidable factor is Venus and Mercury connections as discussed in the last couple of columns. The Sun for the next 2 weeks if properly handled could be illuminating your inner world and can even connect you with astral planes. So the planetary placements for the rest of the year simply great for both mundane and spiritual progress.

All good things discussed last week are good for this week to. Mars goes on PN Tuesday to give more success in career and in the outer world. You can aggressively competitive mid week and an unexpected gain [thru travel or short journey] by end of the week. Both the Sun and Mercury strong on PN and exalted degrees promising sudden gain like gifts, insurance claims. Yet the partner's financial well being is obstructed for 2 more weeks, and gets better after the 15th.

Anticipate some restlessness on the work place, this could manifest as lack of cooperation from your co-workers or lack of appreciation from your supervisors. This will drag on for 7 weeks. The best fortunate period is yet to come, after Nov 22.

The week begins with Moon and Saturn on the 4th house. Despite some emotionally restricted feeling, is favourable for problem solving, attention to detail. Tuesday morning the Moon joins Jupiter to cause a top raja yoga for power and glory. Others turn to you for advice and guidance.

Thursday she joins Mars the 9th lord. Very motivated and will be fearless in completing tasks. The weekend is for romance and partnerships.

A week full of travel. Mostly fruitful as both Mars, Sun and Mercury are on PN/Exaltation. For $$$ mid week is best. Likely you will want to donate some money to charities/community service. Coming weeks look very promising for success in career, for wealth and relationships.
