FORECAST FOR LAGNA/ASCENDANT Oct 20-27

 

Ruler Mars goes to Hatha Nakshatra on Tuesday and Ketu to Anura on Saturday. Both planets are in hostile 6/8 houses. The symbolism of Hatha is an open hand in the sky showering blessings on mortals on planet earth. Mercury gets exalted or operates at optimum here and radiates his virtues of creative intelligence, effective self-expression, skills with numbers and people. On the 6th house of service and will to win thru struggle both Mercury and Mars should help complete tasks on schedule. Those who had natal Mars sitting on first pada or quarter in Hatha generally experience a significant raise in career after the 35th year according to the Nadi Granthas.

The downside is of course health problems. If afflicted, Mars can give ulcers that require surgery. Conscious control of immediate environment is vital to prevent or minimize stress. Ketu to Anura[dha] ruled by Saturn can pose another challenge: change of residence, loss of assets, losses/frustration in places away from birth place including foreign lands, and thru females.

 

Most of what I wrote last week is still good. This week Ketu and Mars change nakshatras or Lunar Mansions [see Aries] , and Venus and Saturn your two very helpful planets are retrograde. The Sun is dangerously placed for hurt and accidents if not careful. Retrograde Saturn and Venus connect with Rahu.

An interesting play here is that when Venus connects with Rahu, Mercury and Saturn it generally gives a substantial financial gain because in Brighu-Nandi Nadi, Venus is the primary significator for wealth and the latter are her buddies. Ketu to Anura urges you to be conscious of the challenging indications given in Aries.

The 7th house is about travel, public life and stability in career too. Hence Ketu on Anura 4th pada transit can help us to be proactive. Retrograde Saturn and Jupiter both see the 7th house along with Rahu. These can be challenging to 7th house indications including the primary one of partnerships. [In mundane astrology these point to grave conflict/devastation around the world].

 

Some Geminis [especially those who got Venus/Saturn connection in Natal charts and their Dashas now unfolding] will be in for a surprise.

The upside of this is unexpected gain like a lottery win, a foreign job offer or some glory in a foreign land or thru an agency with foreign connection or person. The downside is sugar, nerves, skin or lung problems and possible hurt [see Aries or Mars/Ketu] The unexpected gain help to expand your capital assets. Monday needs more awareness plus intelligence. Mercury your ruler and planet of intelligence/discrimination goes on MB and the Moon is on GD [see box] Tuesday and Wednesday the Moon can help the inflow of $$$, but she gets weak again in the company of Rahu Wednesday night thru to Saturday sunrise. Likely to lose some wealth if not careful. Note Ketu on Anura. This is a short travel house. Any travel has to be very planned and be ready for the unexpected.

 

There is another angle to Retrograde Saturn [see last week]. He gets connected to your Lagna and Jupiter until Apr 7 next year. Their 6/7 house ownership can give many travels. Their 6/8 house ownerships can also make you unusually aggressive. This can be easily managed because of Jupiter's 9th house ownership and his current location in his exaltation sign. Both Saturn and Jupiter can also give wealth and stability supported by Rahu, Mars, Mercury and Venus, and to a lesser degree by Sun.

The wealth angle looks strong. It is the creative [also includes children/childbirths] domains that show a conflict. While Saturn and Jupiter can cause births/conceptions, Rahu and Ketu can cause frustrations like miscarriage or challenge our harmonius interaction with children. Wednesday evening thru to Saturday morning can find you mentally restless, and the weekend in some fruitless travel unless for community service or spiritual activities.

 

A retrograde Saturn connecting with Rahu on the 10th house can cause tensions on the work place thru to April 7 next year. A period you need to be real cool with your co-workers and in your interaction in the social world. Money flows in well. More earnings thru your vocation. But Jupiter is capable of unexpected gain.

Depending on his placement and associations in the natal chart and current Dashas. Today and tomorrow shows such a surprise but do not expect much as the Moon is on GD [see box] Expect some changes within your career midweek. Wednesday thru to Saturday can pose unexpected challenges on the work place. Cool and patience will take you thru safely. If you get new job offers that is another thing.

 

Last week I discussed retrogression of Saturn. Retrograde Venus connects with your Lagna, Mercury, Mars and Rahu until Nov 21. The upside is more $$$, particularly if Mars is well placed in your Natal charts like Yogi , Atma or AmaytaKaraka etc. These planets load your travel houses and more so after the Sun gets to Scorpio on Nov 16. The period up to Nov 22 is not great for harmony in relationships/partnerships.

There is much sensuality like today but this has to be consciously managed. The Moon gets to Gandantha zone tonight meaning there is danger of getting carried away by sensual desires and then goes to the 8th house thru to Wednesday evening causing some mental restlessness, anxiety, confusion. The second half of the week can be restless but nothing major as it involves fortunate 9/10 houses. In fact the 2nd half of the week is better for $$$.

 

Your 10th ruler of success in career, the Moon begins the week on the 6th house and is weak until noon tomorrow. If you work tonight be very cool on the work place and never lose control of yourself under all circumstances. Same goes for Wednesday evening thru Saturday morning. Your mom's health needs watching and be mindful of your interaction with kids. In other words an open, candid dialogue with empathy and sensitivity as opposed to projecting authority is always welcome with the kids and more so this week and couple more to come. Your health too gets top priority especially if you suffer from chronic problems.

Problems with eyes, headaches, feet. Unexpected expenses some on health issues likely. See Aries for the downside of Mars and Ketu on Hatha and Anura Nakshatras. Both planets are connected to stressful 2/8 and 6/12 axis.

 

It is the career angle we discussed last week with the Sun weak in your 12th house. With the house ruler Venus Retrograde can cause additional concern by lowering the ability to relate well in the social world.

Retro-Saturn lights up your public life but you got to be really smart in this domain. With Rahu, what looks promising on the outside could really be deceptive. If you seek to make capital out of opportunities think twice. The horse-players say they seek order in chaos. Nothing to speculate much here but your 11th house can open up $$$ sources.

If you are in foreign trade or similar business be very attentive to detail. Ensure what-you-see-is-what-you-get. As for travel and health, see Aries [your sister sign!] for new associations of Ketu and Mars. At the end of the week when you are safely thru say thanks to Jupiter also.

 

Retro-Saturn can give more travel now but note Ketu on Anura Nakshatra. [See Aries] Those seeking foreign employment or ready to leave on such assignments may want to check their charts. It is 6/12 house axis that gets loaded with Saturn and Rahu, Ketu and Pluto. It is good for travel but if afflicted in natal charts could cause debts, fines, sickness, seclusion, losses etc. But if running Dashas in your charts now involve well placed 1,4, 5,9,10 rulers it will be more fortunate.

Mars on the other hand is capable of raising you up thru to Nov 22. Supported by a strong Mercury and retro-Venus connecting with them for more $$$. Those who had natal Moon in Cancer, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces or Aries will enjoy a significant rise in status/career. More so if Mercury was placed in Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius or Aquarius. Those seeking partners will be well blessed for the rest of the year.

 

To continue with your career [from last week] helpful Mars can definitely serve to raise you up thru to Nov 22. Next week the Sun too would be out of debility degrees. This week Venus is on PN and that is nice for success in career.

Those in music, song writing etc will be well inspired with the right stuff. The higher side of the mind is well lit especially Monday -Wednesday. Passion and romance too in the 2nd half of the week but good judgment should prevail with a hot 9th house unless you are running badly placed Rahu/Venus/Mars/Moon Dashas right now in your charts. Weak Ketu dasha especially with Mercury or Moon can cause humiliation thru association with opposite sex. Loaded 5/11 axis with Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, Pluto [passion, deep cravings, addictions, relations with kids, child birth] merits good awareness.

 

Mars will not be on his MB here [continued from last week] until Nov 18 but Mercury is: Monday 03:57-19:20. Mars goes to Hatha on Tuesday [see Aries] The Moon is stuck on Gandantha tonight thru to noon tomorrow on 2/8 stress axis and goes to 4th house [can cause damage to vehicles and property and hurt] Wednesday evening and will stay there until Saturday sunrise.

Simply all these are not good for health and safety [see last week] If you want do some research/investigative work relating to your career in your study this week [without traveling about much] would be nice. But you can also travel and do what you like with much awareness. I hate to bug my readers and indicate danger periods for them to anticipate and meet them as challenges and never as self-fulling prophecies. In the end it is all about our training and discipline, and with a hot 8th house it is ideal for those who do inner work.

 

A week full of passion but passion that needs conscious channeling. Will see many heart-breaks too in its wake especially up to noon tomorrow and then in the 2nd half of the week. But this is amidst some shine in career and success in the social world. Success in career shines best after Friday.

Major glory next week [More so if the Moon was at the right place in your natal chart as per Sagittarius above] For its part Saturn in retrogression connects with Jupiter [your 10th lord] who is on the 5th house of dignity. All you need is a little help from some friendly Dashas /planetary periods unfolding from now onwards. Those seeking long travel for employment etc note Ketu on Anura 4th pada thru to Dec 28 [see Aries for its downside] Venus on PN this week helps you relate well with people and your own inner work.

Those troubled by sugar, bone, kidneys, bladder, generative are problems have to take more care.
