Mesha [Sidereal Moon sign of Aries]

Aswini, Bharani, Krittika-1^st quarter

Jupiter is in an auspicious transit with respect to your Moon sign. Jupiter is currently transiting the 2nd house from your rashi which is good for acquiring money, enjoying domestic happiness, honour, and fame. Acquisition of new assets, auspicious events in the family, and domestic peace will leave you happy and contented.

Your financial prospects look bright now. Money may flow in through various channels. Even for those who might have had a salary-cut recently, there could be compensation in other forms in an unexpected manner. Speculative activities will prove profitable if you calculate the odds carefully. Though lot of income is foreseen, there could also be unavoidable expenditure in the family – the positive thing being that such expenses will be for auspicious events like funding the education of your children, marriage expenses for relatives, or charitable activities and pilgrimages.

Those in service will do well in spite of occasional challenges. There could be some initial delays in realizing long-pending dues, but ultimately things will be decided in your favour. In fact, you will be at your best when in competitive environs due to Jupiter’s aspect on the 6^th house from your Moon sign. There will be opportunity to combine business with pleasure – like visiting exotic locales while on official trips. You should, however, be responsible in your interaction with colleagues with opposite gender; flirtatious behaviour may lead to unnecessary scandals. Unemployed  natives of this sign may get good offers.

Businessmen will feel more in command of their situation in spite of a general recessive environment all around. Many persons will take calculated risks and make huge investments to improve their business. You will be able to focus your energies better towards your business improvement in spite of possible distractions to the same.

Domestic matters look hopeful and auspicious. Though there could be occasional arguments with spouse, ill-health to spouse or minor accidents when you travel with your spouse, things will cozy on the whole – be it relationship with spouse or with in-laws and children. Affairs of children will progress well. Many persons will have the good fortune to visit places of religious/ spiritual significance in the company of their family members. This is an auspicious transit for progenic matters as this transit indicates addition in the family.

Those who are interested in spiritual pursuits might get success in occult practices this year.

Jupiter attains the status of Loha Moorthy – Elemental status of Iron for your sign due to Moon’s position at the time of Jupiter’s transit. This inauspicious elemental status reduces the positive influences of this transit and the good effects elucidated above will be felt with strong intensity only if your natal directional influences are also strong; otherwise, it will just be a moderately good influence.

Remedies: Though as such no remedy is required for your sign due to the auspiciousness of this transit, you may follow these suggestions to enhance the good luck factor that is impacted due to the inauspicious elemental status attained by Jupiter during this transit….

1) Try to have Netra Darshan of Tirumala Balaji on Thursdays to trigger the good-luck influences of this transit (overcoming the inauspicious elemental status of Jupiter during this transit).

2) Mix some saffron in your milk and drink it at night to maintain good health and also to improve your general good luck.

Rishabha [Sidereal Moon sign of Taurus]

Krittika 2, 3, 4, Rohini, Mrigasira 1, 2

Jupiter transits your natal Moon sign. This is not considered to be an auspicious transit at all. There is a Tamil Classic verse that says that this was the transit that caused Vanavaas to Shri Raam! Thus, there is a possibility of leave your native place, development of ill-will towards others, incurring heavy expenditure, experiencing anxious circumstances, and facing undue delays, opposition, and road-blocks to your progress. Health can come under strain due to these stressors.

While income may just trickle in, you will find it difficult to plug the outflows. Unexpected but unavoidable expenses will drain your financial reserves. Speculative activities will yield moderate profits. You will be able to manage all your commitments satisfactorily with support from your previous savings. Those who have not developed such an emergency corpus may find the going a little tough.

Obstacles and delays will mark each and every sector of your life. Those of you under auspicious directional influences may invest heavily in fixed assets. Though this will cause credit-crunch in the short-term, it may be auspicious in the long-term. Similarly, some of you may be required to spend heavily towards settlement of your children – like spending for their higher education, or establishing a separate residence for married children. Prospects of your spouse will improve while your own progress might be hindered by myriad factors. Women in the menopause stage and those who are in the family way should undergo regular checkups to rule out unnecessary complications. Health of elderly relatives – especially one’s own parents may cause concern.

Things will not be smooth at work. You may need to display extraordinary patience and endurance to meet your official responsibilities. Though there will be as such no major threat to your position, you may encounter anxious circumstances at work. Many of you may get transferred to postings which you may rather wish to avoid. There is also the possibility of transfer to distant locations taking you away from the family. Businesspersons will find that their profit margins have declined. On the positive side, many of them will be able to realize long-standing dues from defaulters. Both those in services and those in business should avoid falling in the trap of unscrupulous persons of the opposite gender under this transit. Cupid’s Arrows may turn into the spider’s web before you realize!

Students should burn the midnight oil to get good grades. Those who are focused well on their academic goals will come out in flying colours in competitive examinations. Students should be careful while filling out forms and electronic coding sheets as absent-minded errors in these might spoil their chances.

Jupiter attains the status of Swarna Moorthy – Elemental Status of Gold for your sign due to placement of Moon at the time of Jupiter’s transit; this auspiciousness of Elemental status attained by Jupiter in transit reduces the negative impact to a great extent. Though stress will still be there, it could well be eustress – the positive stress that fires you towards your goals if you remain focused enough.

Remedies: Feed elephants on your birthday. Recite the first chapter of Baala Kaandam of Shrimad Vaalmiiki Raamaayanam on the Thursday that comes after your birthday.

Do voluntary service in temples on Thursdays that involve cleaning the premises, grinding sandalwood paste to the Deities, and distributing Prasad to other devotees.

Mithuna [Sidereal Moon sign of Gemini]

Mrigasira 3, 4, Arudra, Punarvasu 1, 2, 3.

Jupiter transits the 12th house from your natal Moon sign. This is not considered to be an auspicious transit according to classical astrology. This can cause grief, anxiety regarding property matters, long and wearisome journeys, heavy expenses, possible hospitalization to self or other close relatives, misunderstanding with close persons, etc.

While your financial condition does not look worse, it is not too rosy either! Your income will be steady though it might be slightly reduced compared to what it was in the past or the expected bonuses/ increments may come only after delays; however, expenses might mount uncontrollably. Speculative activities will yield mixed results – i.e. there will be days when there can be windfall gains, while there could be days that threaten to wipe out your corpus! So, unless you really have large corpus of funds to back you up during critical periods, you should avoid playing with the markets and putting your valuable financial resources in the line of fire. Avoid risky speculative trading and derivative trading unless you are a seasoned trader willing to take the bitter with the sweet in the markets.

Career front also offers mixed influences; while many of you may get prestigious assignments, the work conditions associated with that might not be to your liking. You may get transferred to distant places away from the family, or the attitude of our coworkers may leave much to be desired. You will generally manage to outwit your opponents and establish a formidable reputation for yourself in the process. Unemployed persons of this sign aspiring for a good job will manage to get a break only after lot of delays and hurdles.

Business persons may encounter problems with enforcement agencies like IT department, Service tax/ Sales tax authorities, etc. But they will manage to handle those problems without major harassment or embarrassment. Some business persons may need to raise heavy loans to fund their business activities. Career and business matters will proceed without major hiccups as long as you devote considerable amount of time for them. Students who work hard and are conscientious towards preparation will come out with feathers in their caps. Overseas chances for higher studies look difficult. You may have to settle for courses/ schools that are not your first choice.

Influences are mixed on the domestic front also. Health of spouse or parents may cause concern. Single natives of this sign aspiring to get married should ensure that proper compatibility check has been done as this is not exactly a favourable period for marriage. However, those who are under favourable directional influences will manage to get a spouse of their choice after a long search. This will be more true for those who are trying to enter wedlock after previously failed marriages.

As Jupiter attains the status of Taamaramoorthy for your sign due to placement of Moon at the time of Jupiter’s transit, you need to be most careful in taking crucial decisions. There could be possibility of gains through rivals (i.e. rivals will try to undermine your prospects, but your winning that challenge will further enhance your reputation), but generally things are not exactly rosy for you. Caution and adequate forethought are recommended in all activities.

Remedies: Observe Ekaadasi fast religiously throughout the year.

Recite Vishnu-Sahasranaamam or Venkatesa Karaavalambam sthothram or one chapter of Shrimad Raamaayanam daily in the evenings.

Kataka [Sidereal Moon sign of Cancer]

Punarvasu 4, Pushya, Aslesha

Jupiter transits the auspicious 11th house for your Moon sign. You will gain by friends and associates, can expect new positions of status and honour, enjoy reunion with family, may plan returning back to homeland after extended periods of stay abroad, consider investing in new assets, etc. Things are generally on a roll for you.

Financial position looks impressive. Even those who have been under extended periods of fiscal difficulties recently may see that their financial position begins to improve during this transit. Litigations may end in your favour. Inflows will comfortably exceed the outflows. Even for those persons who might experience heavy expenditure due to adverse directional influences, the situation will be fairly manageable due to this auspicious transit influence. Speculative activities can be gainful. This is the best time for investing in markets with a long-term perspective.

Domestic matters look positive. Marital life will be enjoyable to a great extent. Visit to places of religious significance in the company of loved ones will prove enjoyable and also bless you with Divine Grace. Friends and well-wishers will offer unsullied support to you in all your efforts. Those on the look-out for marriage will be blessed with compatible partners. Only flip-side of this transit is that some of you may be tempted to indulge in flirtatious behaviour which should be curbed if you wish to maintain harmony of marital relationship. The matters of your children will progress well much to your delight.

Career front also looks equally promising. Long-awaited promotion will come your way – possibly with retrospective benefits in some cases! You will find it easier to shrug off the challenges of your rivals at work. Unemployed youth of this sign will get suitable offers. Those in regular employment should resist the urge to shift jobs unnecessarily; improvement in prospects will occur in the existing organization itself in majority of the cases.

Those in business can look forward to a fortunate period. There is a good possibility that profit margins can increase to your satisfaction. Those who are intelligent in speculative moves can maximize their profits. Business-related litigations can get settled in your favour. This is a good period to sign agreements pertaining to foreign-collaboration in business activities.

Students will shine well in their academic and extra-curricular activities. Study tours and on-the-job training activities will prove enjoyable and purposeful. You will have wonderful options before you – whether you opt for higher education or for job at the end of basic courses.  If you have been struck up in courses where you could not make the grade, this could be the right year to switch courses and take your career forward.

As Jupiter attains the status of Rajata Moorthy for your sign due to placement of Moon at the time of Jupiter’s transit, the auspicious effects mentioned above get further enhanced.

Remedies: There is as such no remedy required for you due to the favourable impact of this transit. However, the remedies suggested below can further improve your good luck.

1) Donate 16 solid pieces of turmeric tuber in any temple on all Thursdays in the month of your birth.

2) Do not be unduly proud when things go too smoothly as this will invite “evil eye” on you.

3) Treating younger siblings with tenderness and affection will improve your good luck.

Simha rashi –  Sidereal Moon sign of Leo

Those born in vedic stars of Makha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni – 1^st quarter.

Jupiter is transiting the 10th house from natal Moon for Simha rashi natives. This transit is generally not considered to be auspicious as per astrological classics dealings with transit results of planets. Challenging situations at work, obstacles caused by uncooperative associates, false charges/ allegations raised by jealous enemies, minor threat to status/ position at job are some of the malefic influences that might be experienced by Simha rashi natives.

Businesspersons should think twice before investing heavily on new projects. Those who are in service may encounter unnecessary hassles or suffer increased work-loads without corresponding improvement in financial compensation. Machinations of jealous co-workers may cause unnecessary troubles to many natives. You should not resign your current position voluntarily in anger or frustration as this will spoil your good luck pertaining to career. Financial luck will be only moderate as income and expenditure will balance each other out. Speculative activities will yield moderate profits.

Students should concentrate harder at their studies to maintain good grades. Attempts to secure prestigious courses abroad may prove futile for many natives. You must learn to accept the chances that come your way now and build up on that rather than being stubborn on entering only the courses / schools that you consider as best.

On the family front, property disputes may spoil domestic peace and harmony. Some persons may quit joint-family system and opt to move away from their roots. Many natives will experience either a change of job or change of residence in some form due to sudden developments. On the positive side, these natives will prove to be lucky mascots to other family members; lots of positive results are expected for spouse of the person, siblings, and children.

Health concerns of self, and health of elderly relatives in the family should be attended to promptly. You can avoid stress-induced ailments by adopting a consciously passive attitude regarding life-matters – learn to accept things as they come, and then nothing will really affect you!

Since Jupiter attains Loha Moorthi – Iron Elemental status(this is calculated based on Moon’s position at the time of Jupiter’s transit), the toughness of this transit influence might be more pronounced .  So, it might be to your benefit to perform remedies to counteract the tough transit influences.

Remedies: Try to visit Jeeva Samadhi of some Holy Saint  and meditate there praying for Divine Guidance when you handle your challenges this year.

offer sandana kaappu (anointment with Sandalwood paste) to Lord Hanuman or Lord Dakshinamoorthi on a Thursday. 

Be patient in all that you do this year, and do not seek changes voluntarily while at the same time being open to changes that come your way (including job changes/ transfers that might be forced on you).

Kanya rashi [sidereal Moon sign of Virgo]

Uttaraphalguni 2,3, 4, Hasta, Chitra 1, 2

Jupiter is transiting the auspicious 9th house for your moon sign. This ensures that you will have a smooth sailing course for major part of the next year. Prosperity, wealth, and status will seek you out. Long-awaited recognition, promotion, or favourable posting will come your way. Your efficiency and intelligence will get noticed by everyone around you. This transit is auspicious for those trying for overseas ventures – be it a foreign course, or on-site posting. Many of you will have the good fortune to visit places of religious significance in the company of loved ones.

There could be change of job or residence which can have positive impact on your life. Property disputes can be settled amicably by negotiation and compromise. One point to be noted is that though there will be no dearth of income, you won’t be able to save much unless you are very committed to that end. On the positive side, many of you will acquire new assets – both movable and immovable – this year.

Students of this sign have a good chance of getting excellent grades, and doing well in competitive examinations. Those in the final year of study can get good career openings, and prestigious campus placements. Procedures related to foreign education will proceed smoothly without major road-blocks.

Wedding bells ring for eligible single-natives. Estranged couples may have a chance to mend the relationship and try for reunion. Those who are looking forward to progenic bliss have a good possibility of a healthy conception.

As Jupiter attains Taamra moorthy – Copper Elemental status during this transit, there could be some obstacles and delays before you reap the positive results described above. But, nothing takes away the general positivity of this transit for your moon sign.

Remedies: If you encounter obstacles to your progress, fasting on Thursdays and offering special prayers to Lord Hanumaan will help you to overcome those.

Offer Tulsi garland to Lord Hanumaan on at least one Thursday every month.

If you have legal cases to handle recital of Langaoolastra slokha and offering turmeric paste to Lord Hanumaan on Thursdays will be of help.

Thula Rashi  [sidereal Moon sign of Libra]

Chitra 3, 4, Swathi, Visakha 1, 2, 3

Jupiter is in unfavourable 8th house transit for your Moon sign. This is reputed to be a tough transit. There will be wearisome journeys, possible stumbling at the last post in the journey towards your goals,  loss of money or increased expenditure, and a general anxiety that keeps bogging you down. Your health will also be below par with the possibility of one ailment or other striking at your vitality.

Influences regarding career matters will be mixed. On the one hand, you will be able to win legal cases pertaining to service matters while on the other hand, there could be unfavourable transfers taking you away from your family. The attitude of co-workers will be reasonable. Some natives may get posted to prestigious posts which will however bring new headaches and problems, ultimately taking away the happiness that could be associated with such promotions!

Students trying for foreign education and executives trying for on-site opportunities will have many obstacles to overcome, and the chances do look dim. Though you will have inclination for study, ill-health, journeys to resolve crucial family issues,  and other extraneous pressures may spoil your time-table. Those in the final years of study may get placements that may be slightly below their expectations; however, they should go ahead and accept those offers and try for improving upon them later instead of rejecting those offers.

Avoid impulsive speech and unnecessary arguments at home. Health of your spouse will also be below par. Natives who are fighting divorce petitions seeking dissolution of marriage may find the case ending in their favour. Those who are searching for suitable life-partner should take special care to ensure perfect compatibility as Jupiter’s transit is not exactly auspicious for matrimonial matters unless your chart has positive planetary triggering point in Rishabha rashi (like placement of the7th house lord in Rishabha rash or Rishabha rashi being the 7^th house cusp for the chart).  Women who are in the family way should undergo regular check-ups to rule out any complications.

You may encounter strange and difficult to rationalize paranormal experiences/ occult experiences if you are involved in spiritual practices.

As Jupiter acquires the status of Swarna Moorthi for your Moon sign based on Moon position at the time of transit, you can overcome all your problems with consistent efforts and perfect focus on goals.

Remedies:  Recite at least one chapter of Sundara Khaandam (from Raamaayanam) every day if your family atmosphere is trouble-prone under the tough transit of Jupiter.

Trekking up Tirumala Hills and having Netra Darshan on Thursdays can be a very good remedy for general welfare for your sign this year.

Regular worship of Medha Dakshinamoorthi can be of help to students.

Those in positions of power and authority will warm up to you now. Affairs of children will proceed smoothly. Those who are trying to conceive will be blessed with a good child.

Career matters look quite positive. Businessmen will be able to lay the seeds for bright future by bagging prestigious contracts. It will be easier to realize dues from outstanding bills. You will also be able to clear old loans and meet your commitments comfortably. Time is auspicious for you to acquire new assets. Long-standing loans will be realized. Speculative activities will be gainful if you plan your moves intelligently and avoid stretching your luck too far.

Academic matters look positive. You have the opportunity to come out in flying colours in your final exams if you concentrate harder on your studies. Students who are nearing the end of their academic courses may get good career openings or opportunity to pursue higher education.

As Jupiter attains the status of  Rajata Moorthy – Elemental status of Iron for your sign due to Moon position at the time of Jupiter’s transit, the good effects of this transit are likely to be felt with good degree of intensity.

Remedies: Sport a tilak of turmeric on your forehead everyday to enjoy maximum positive effects of this transit.

If you are a married man, looking at the forehead of your wife first thing in the morning can be a powerful remedy to enjoy best luck during this transit period; if you are a married woman, looking at the feet of your husband first thing in the morning can be your good luck ritual. Unmarried natives may enjoy good luck by keeping a picture of the Holy Feet of Gurus/ Vishnu Paadam/ Paadukaas in the bedroom and seeing those - first thing in the morning.

Dhanus [sidereal Moon sign of Sagittarius]

Moola, Poorvaashaada, Uttarashaada 1

Jupiter is transiting the unfavourable 6th house from your natal Moon sign. This can cause troubles and losses from enemies, problems with kinsmen and difficulty in handling financial commitments, possibility of litigations that eat into your peace of mind, and possibility of unnecessary scandals. Health will also be slightly below par.

Financial position will be tight and outflows may exceed inflows resulting in necessity to raise loans. Constant tiffs with family members may spoil peace of mind. Those who are having already strained relationships may see that things may come to a head when talk about separation starts creeping in. Single natives who are looking for a suitable match may find it hard to get a suitable match that meets all their requirements, and marriage may not materialize this year unless there are other strong positive factors in your individual horoscope.

Businessmen should keep their records in proper order as there is possibility of raids from government agencies. Speculation without caution might lead to heavy losses. Those who are seeking new jobs may find it tough to get a suitable opening that meets their aspirations. Those in senior government positions may encounter difficult and embarrassing situations, including the possibility of facing corruption charges. Unfavourable transfers, and delay in promotions are other challenges that many of you will face.

Students should restrict unnecessary activities and concentrate more on their lessons to get good grades. Activities like trying to rag juniors, taking an undue interest in college gangs, or joining student-political groups may lead to unnecessary problems.

Businessmen will be in a position to garner profits in their undertakings; however, they may find it necessary to invest a large portion of the profits back into the business to sustain the momentum of growth in the business. Those in service will excel in all assignments deputed to them. Promotions may be slightly delayed, but it should not deter you at all, as it will only be a case of delay and not a denial! You will be able to get favourable postings and transfer on request.

Students have good possibility of coming out in flying colours. Friends will be of great help in time of need.

Kumbha [Sidereal Moon sign of Aquarius]

Dhanishta 3, 4, Satabisha, Poorvabhadra 1, 2, 3

Jupiter’s transit is not favourable to you as it transits the unfavourable 4th sign from your natal Moon sign. Sorrow through relatives, humiliation due to the activities of dear and near ones, depression due to uncooperative attitude of others around you, domestic quarrels, disputes regarding fixed assets, relocation or frequent travels, etc. can keep troubling you in one form or another. You should avoid over-indulgence in sensual matters and gluttony to maintain good health.

Your financial position will be unstable under this transit influence. There could be periods of prosperity alternating with periods of financial stringency. But, generally you will be in a position to manage your commitments well.  You should be conservative in your investment strategies this year.

Career luck will be only moderate. You will have to overcome machinations of jealous co-workers and unfavourable attitude of superiors by deft moves. However, your persistence in the face of problems, and your continued efficiency will ultimately win you the confidence of your boss. You should steer clear of controversial topics at work, and resist the temptation to indulge in romantic escapades with colleagues of the opposite gender to stay out of trouble. Scandals at work can spoil your chances forever.

Businessmen will encounter lot of hassles in the day-to-day handling of their business activities. Still profits will keep trickling in helping them to handle all challenges confidently. There is possibility of IT raid or trouble from government agencies which will ultimately be handled well. Speculation will yield only moderate profits.

Students should work hard to maintain good grades. Senior teens and those in early 20’s should avoid distractive romantic interests as this may land them in unnecessary trouble. Though attempts to go abroad may encounter some road-blocks, many students will manage to get campus selections; in fact, some natives may actually leave studies mid-way and opt for a job!

Success in occult activities and miraculous paranormal experiences may reward spiritually inclined natives of this sign.

Remedies: Donate yellow laddoos to 16 persons (it can be anyone) in a temple on all Thursdays in the month of your birth.

Offer vadaimaalai to Lord Hanumaan if your important tasks encounter stiff resistance or obstacles.

Meena [Sidereal Moon sign of Pisces]

Poorvabhadra 4, Uttarabhadra, Revati.

Jupiter’s transit over the 3rd house from your natal Moon sign is not considered an auspicious transit as per astrological classics. This transit may bring loss of position, separation from friends and well-wishers, health complaints, and many obstacles to your activities. On the positive side, this is a transit that will favour correspondence, literary abilities, and research activities.

Your financial luck will be only moderate. You will manage to strike a healthy balance between your income and expenditure. There is not much hope of windfall gains or profits of a great magnitude this year. You should be content with normal cash flow, and be intelligent in regulating the cash along the right channels. Strain arising out of previous commitments – like loans on property might drain a major part of your monthly income and you will most likely run a tight budget this year.

Natives who are under favourable directional influences may experience moderate gains in career matters. Work-loads will be heavy, and some of you may even experience pay-cuts in spite of increasing work responsibilities. Many of you will be left contemplating whether continuing in the current organization is worth it under the current circumstances, and may opt for change of job. Businessmen will encounter tough competition from business rivals, but may overcome them. However, the meager profits may make them ponder about change of business. Such persons should try modification of premises as per vaastu or Feng Sui guidelines rather than changing the business per se. There could be problems in partnership businesses; those issues need to be handled diplomatically so that associations of long-standing are not threatened by minor differences of opinion.

Many natives could face litigation or dispute of some sort – but they will handle them well and come out successful. Matrimonial issues do not look too cozy now. Married persons should take extra efforts to maintain domestic harmony and to save the marriage. Manipulative in-laws or recalcitrant spouses may spoil peace of mind.  Single-natives waiting for marriage may find it difficult to get the right match.

Students will be able to maintain good educational progress if they spend extra time than usual at their studies. Those appearing in competitive exams have a good chance of success. Hard efforts will be required to fulfill dreams of overseas education.

As Jupiter attains the status of Swarna Moorthy for your sign as per Moon’s position at the time of Jupiter’s transit, you will be able to manage all problems well due to timely intervention of well-wishers or by Divine Favours at the 11th moment during critical periods.

Remedies: Recite at least one chapter of Shrimad Bhagavat Gita every day regularly. Those who have belief in Shirdi Sai Baba can recite one chapter of Sat Charitra everyday and offer sandalwood paste tilak to the heart and feet of the idol/ photo of Shri Sai.

Offer Anna Dhaan to needy persons or to sadhus living near temples on your birthday. (It can be as simple as sponsoring one-time meal for one person if you can’t afford to spend much).

Blessed be.

Pandit R. DAKSHINA MOORTHI.
