October 2015 Monthly Forecast: LEO, VIRGO

LEO: Sun rules over your sign. Planet Jupiter, Mars and Venus are all traveling through your sign this month bringing growth, prosperity and good luck. However, as per Vedic astrology, Jupiter and Venus, the two traveling companions are not best of friends. Jupiter talks of moksha, detachment, whereas Venus loves indulgence. As you see, these two are temperamentally different but they both individually bring growth and prosperity in life but together they bring growth with some associated problems and difficulties. Leo’s, this month it seems universe understands all your difficulties, so you have Mars giving you courage and drive to overcome difficulties. Your ruler, Sun, and Mercury, (money for you) are under the shadow of Rahu, the north node of Moon. You may worry unnecessarily more about money. In three month from, 14^th, this is probably the a period to initiate changes in your life and you tend to attract money. You are likely to see benefits to your earning and saving power. In three months from 14^th, are probably the best time of the year to ask for a raise. You may find new ways to increase your income or savings. Income from your business or job, whatever career stream you follow is likely to increase. As I have written above, Sun is under the shadow of Rahu, loan, EMI installments, bills and rental woes, may cause some stress too. Practically speaking, the amazing thing about life is that you choose how things affect you and this is how reading astrology forecasts help. You know what is likely to happen and hence make yourself mentally and otherwise prepared to deal. When you consciously choose to create balance and align yourself with the universe, this brings universal abundance and open floodgates of blessings in your life. 

VIRGO: Planet mercury rules over your sign. Planet Mercury rules over your sign and this month your ruling planet is under the shadow of Rahu, the north node of Moon. As per Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu denote the two points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon as they move in their orbits. Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south nodes. Rahu is also a period of prarabhdha. Prarabdha is the part of sanchita karma, a collection of past karmas, which are ready to be experienced through the present body. It does not in any way necessarily mean anything negative. Three months from 14^th, may bring events that may bring monumental changes in your life. Your perspective about life is about to change. You will be especially emotional now. You may have lots of plans but when actual time of performance comes your energy will be diverted. Jupiter, Mars and Venus are not comfortably placed this month in your solar chart. How you perceive problems and convert them for your personal transformation is very important. So many times people say this to me that knowing future, getting horoscope charts done may bring superstition and may prevent them to act freely. But the fact is that in life it won’t change what happens, knowing or not knowing, astrology or no astrology, on the contrary you can use astrology as a tool to illuminate your path by acting proactively, this probably the reason why astrology in India is called ‘jyotish’ meaning ‘light’. In coming three months, what you say, what you do, how you look, what kind of actions you take, will all be related with your personal happiness and growth. You may need to identify the things in your life that are probably making you unhappy with, and then start taking steps, maybe even teeny tiny ones, to start improving them. Circle dates- 11^th, 14^th, 17^th and 27^th on your calendar.
