Uranus Retrograde: Time for adventure and fun…

The planet Uranus will turn retrograde on the 1^st of July 2009. During this retrograde motion, you are likely to feel rebellious. You will seek freedom and a lot of adventure. Going on a short trip is a possibility during this period. Friends will find it fun to be around you. You will also find yourself indulging in physical activities and outdoor sports. Most of you are likely to start a new hobby or see a change in your daily routine during this time. You will find it easier to let go of all the stress that had been troubling you since the past few weeks. Things will definitely change for the better and you will see an improvement in your mood.

During this time, you will be at your creative best. This will be a good time to act on your brilliant ideas. Planning will help you make the most of your creative thoughts. Your artistic skills will be enhanced and if you happen to work in a creative field, you will see people noticing your work. This is the best time for planning all the changes that you want to make. You can implement these changes once Uranus turns direct again. Changes, if made during the retrograde phase, will not show the same results that they would during a direct phase of the planet. Another thing: don`t act impulsively on your urges. You may really want to do new things and experiment but it’s best to avoid such tendencies for the time being.

In your love life, too, you will want more freedom and space. You may get into an argument if your partner doesn`t give you enough breathing space. You will try your best to free yourself from everything that makes you feel tied up. Responsibilities and restrictions will have a negative impact on your mind as the rebellious planet Uranus influences you. Don`t let such feelings come between you and your mate. Be patient and listen to partner’s point of view first whenever you have an argument. The chances of engaging in reckless behavior are much higher during this period so take better care. Think twice before acting on your impulses and wait for Uranus to turn direct again to try something new.

Goodluck Charms

These are some very popular lucky charms that will surely bring you luck and good fortune...

The Swastika
The Swastika forms a combination of four Ls standing for Luck, Light, Love and Life. It has been found in excavations of ancient Rome, Grecian cities, as also on ancient Buddhist idols and on Chinese coins dated as early as 315 B.C. American Indians used it as an amulet charm to drive away evil and for good luck, long life and prosperity to the possessor. It is also an auspicious symbol used by people of the Hindu religion. Its use by the Nazis in the second world war caused some damage to its reputation in the west as a symbol of luck.

The Horseshoe
There is good reason to believe that the crescent form of the horseshoe links the symbol to the Moon goddess of ancient Europe, and that the protection invoked is that of the goddess herself, or, more particularly, of her sacred vulva. In regions where the horseshoe is placed facing upward, folks believe the horseshoe must point up "or the luck runs out." In places where it is hung facing downward, they say exactly the opposite - "it must point down so the luck can pour onto you." However, when it is placed over the doorways of barns and stables, the horseshoe usually points downward, and it is said that Ono witch will pass under it.

Abracadabra
This was used by the Gnostics in Rome to invoke the beneficient spirits against disease and death. Sammonicus, the Gnostic physician, believed that the letters of the magical triangle which he used for curing aches and fevers, were to be written on paper, folded into the shape of a cross, worn for nine days around the neck, and, before sunrise, cast behind the patient into a stream running eastward. It was also a popular charm during the Great Plague of 1665.

Four-Leaf Clover
All plants and clovers have leaf arrangements in sets of three. A four-leafed clover is a very rare occurrence and therefore considered lucky. One who finds a four-leafed clover is believed to be lucky. The clover must be plucked and kept for continued luck.

The Wishbone
The hen and the rooster were popular in ancient birdlore. Since the hen cackled when she laid an egg and the cock crowed at the beginning of the day, it was believed that these fowls had special powers and could answer human questions. After the hen oracle was performed, the fowl was sacrificed to a special god. Its collarbone was saved and hung in the sun to dry. The person seeking an answer from God made a wish on the bone, which gave it its name — the wishbone. Afterwards two people snapped the dry bone, each making his own wish. The person holding the longer end was believed to be granted his wish.

Katrina will also be a great mother and the perfect wife.

Colour Remedies and You…

Ever wondered how different colours evoke different reactions from you? Colours influence our mood and emotions. Is it any wonder they are used to shift the energy in life? The following colour tips and remedies to help you turn your life around !
What are you waiting for? Go ahead - play with colours.

Red
This colour is not used for nothing as a warning! Red is known for attention grabbing and is known to increase brain activity. This colour is great for spaces that need an activity enhancement. Add this colour to create drama (ever notice how theatres use red curtains and carpets?) and a party atmosphere. Also associated with passion, adding a little red to your bedroom will SURELY spice up your love life. Here is another tip: add red to a room that is not so inviting or comfortable and see the difference it makes. Also, if you are depressed or frequently tired, add a dash of red décor to your bedroom; this stimulating colour will add energy and boost positive vibes. Only, be moderate and don`t overdo it. Too much red leads to overwhelming emotions, aggression and restlessness. Avoid using this colour if there are emotionally hyper people around.

A Red Dislike: Know someone who has an aversion to red? Notice carefully: this person may be over-active, too impulsive, hot-tempered, aggressive and egocentric, or have difficulties with people with such characteristics. It can also symbolize deeply hidden fears and rejection of a person’s own assertiveness.

Purple
Purple is an intensely purifying colour, also known as the psychic colour linked with activities such as meditation and healing. It's often the preferred colour of mediums and those who are in touch with their spiritual side. It's, therefore, a great colour for a spa or retreat. Did you know it aids in reducing blood pressure? And, that’s not all! Here’s a very simple tip for you if you are an outgoing sort of a person and need to channelise your energy inwards: add purple to your bedroom as it has a very calming and restorative effect and encourages introspection which is key at night time when your energy needs to be focused inwards. Use purple or violet shades if you feel emotionally drained and desire a more stable work-life balance.
A Purple Dislike: A person who has a dislike for purple may have a very serious attitude towards life; and may find it difficult to give dreams, fantasies, vague fears or memories a place in it. He/she might also have a tendency to rejecting everything they regard unrealistic.

Yellow
Yellow stimulates mental ability and concentration, and aids detachment. Here is an easy tip: if you feel cluttered in your mind, use yellow- wear yellow clothes, add yellow to your bedroom. Yellow is a great colour that has the power to lift spirits, raise energy levels and dispel negativity. So, if you have been feeling nervous or sad, include yellow around you. You can use yellow in kitchens, hallways, living rooms, play rooms and offices but again avoid bedrooms as it may prove too energetic and intense.
Yellow is particularly good for focusing the mind and encouraging intellectual progress and performance. Did you know this colour helps cure depression? How? It awakens an enthusiasm for life. It awakens greater confidence and optimism. Colour therapists use yellow when working with illnesses such as jaundice, arthritis, immobility, depression and skin problems.

A Yellow Dislike: A person who has a dislike to yellow may be emotionally disappointed and bitter. This person might also have a tendency to rationalize feelings, or to avoid the depth of life by often changing relationships, many superficial relationships and/or constantly changing activities.

Orange
Orange is a high energy colour that promotes happiness. Orange is a stimulating colour and is often associated with enthusiasm, sociability and optimism. This makes it the ideal colour for a dining room or any space where you receive visitors or entertain. Orange is a welcoming colour for hallways which can often be dark or north-facing rooms that need warming up. Orange has traditionally been used by colour therapists to reduce tiredness, depression and pain and help with disorders such as gout, constipation and alcoholism. Here is a tip if you feel you need to unblock your emotions and create a sense of joy in your life: add orange to your bedroom décor or wear orange teemed with blue.
However, here’s a caution tip: avoid too much orange in the bedroom as it can over stimulate but don't be frightened to use orange in other areas. Avoid overly bright orange. Also, it should be used along with tones of blue-green.
An Orange Dislike: A person who dislikes orange may have suppressed sexual feelings or other difficulties with sensual enjoyment of life. Alternately, their attitude can also be over-sensual, indulgent, or too materialistic.
Pink
Pink is the colour of nurturing and love. It conveys compassion and love. Did you know wearing pink makes you more approachable? It's great for creating a sense of calmness and has sedative qualities if you have hyperactive children or are facing sleeping difficulties. Here’s a tip if you have a tendency to feeling neglected or angry: add pink to your bedroom décor or start wearing pink. Did you know this colour can ease the stresses of the immune system? It also alleviates loneliness, despondency, oversensitivity, and vulnerability.
Pink is great if you are recovering from a divorce or need to move beyond relationship troubles.
A Pink Dislike: Know someone who dislikes pink? Notice that this person who has an aversion to pink may have a challenge with expressing their ssoft, tender, and more intuitive side.
Green
Green is a calming, reassuring colour and promotes feelings of safety. Is it any wonder why it is used as the colour of the international safety code?
It balances our energies, and it can be used to increase our sensitivity and compassion. The balancing, nourishing and restful qualities in greens makes it perfect as a natural colour choice for bedrooms, living rooms and places of retreat. It's also a great colour to use if you are experiencing people who seem out of balance on an emotional level.
Colour therapists generally use green to reduce stress, ease headaches, migraines and gastric ulcers or balance mood swings.
Although a restful colour, green also represents growth (be it financial or personal). If you choose a bright green it can bring abundance to you and urge you to take positive action. Green is the colour favoured for decorating the South East corner.
A Green Dislike: A person who dislikes green may be more interested in independence and self-development than in a warm family-life. This person may prefer to keep a certain distance in (sexual) relationships.
Blue
Blue is the ultimate soother. This colour is the final name in giving serene, tranquil vibes. Blue can, and does, reduce stress and tension and is useful to calm negative emotions when tempers are running high.
Blue is also associated with effective communication and clear thought and is great for focusing the mind and intellect. Is it any wonder most corporates prefer blue clothing? However, too much blue can be cold and depressing so avoid it
if you are prone to moodiness and low mood swings.
Colour therapists tend to use blue to fight against hernias, back problems and muscular defects. It is also said to lower your blood pressure and heart rate.
A Blue Dislike: Know anyone who hates blue? Observe carefully and you’ll see that this person may be severely regimented, a strong career person, with an aversion of restrictions. He/she may have charted out a clear direction for their life and would never want to deviate from it.
Black
Black absorbs all other colours. This means it needs to be used with care. It is great as an accent colour for accessories such as picture frames or curtain rails. In this way, it provides a striking backdrop for other colours.
Black is a protective colour, intriguing, bold and independent. It also creates a sense of magic, given it has great depth to it. However, too much black can be oppressive and depressing and should be avoided in children's bedrooms, dining rooms and kitchens. A tip: use black as an accent colour or sparingly to ward off negativity and hatred. Also, do not use it by itself, use it in combination with other colours, especially white if it is polarities within an individual that need a balance.
Caution: too much black is known to induce sadness and depression and aggravate emotional/mental traumas/problems.
A Black Dislike: A person dislikes black may have fear for the unknown, or fear for the abuse of power. Notice that this person may desire to become free from all kinds of dependency, blockages, hindrances and will want to throw off shackle.
White
White contains the full colour spectrum. Is it any wonder it has such a wholesome effect? White is associated with purity and cleanliness and is useful if your senses are overloaded and you need to clear down mentally or emotionally. It is also useful for bouncing light and energy around a space and can often be seen in hallways. However, white can also be stark and difficult to live with long term. It can sap warmth and energy from an environment if used in isolation. Again, if used in excess, white light causes passivity, lethargy, hypersensitivity, and inhibitions. It needs to be combined or coordinated with other colours to be truly effective.
This is one reason why off-whites tend to be more popular for home decoration.
A White Dislike: A person who dislikes white is, largely or solely interested in 'realistic' and tangible things, not in illusions or things that are beyond seeing or understanding. This person knows and accepts the own imperfection and does not wish to achieve perfection.
Brown
Brown is often a misunderstood colour. Although when used abundantly, it induces stagnation and coarseness, used in the right proportion, brown can be a very stabilizing, grounding and neutralizing colour. It calms extreme mental conditions. A simple tip to stabilise hyperactive children: add shades of brown/rust in their bedroom décor/make them wear brown clothes. Used in small doses brown is effective in aiding concentration and the gain of knowledge.
A colour that stimulates natural solidity and simplicity, brown is often used when there is a lack of warmth in a person or relationships.
A Brown Dislike: A person who dislikes brown may feel an aversion to normal, boring, trivial life; and may not feel connected with his/her roots (home-land, family, etc). You may also notice that this person experiences instability in health and attitude.
Grey
Grey is a neutral, indifferent and non-expressive colour, neither white nor black. Grey is the colour of indecision - neither white nor back. It can often give dismal or depressing vibes. Used sparingly, it adds refinement. Used in isolation, it prompts indecision. Grey is a colour that is often used to cure impulsiveness and restlessness. Avoid painting your walls in this colour but if you really want to, make sure you maintain them/repaint them to avoid giving out negative vibes.
A Grey Dislike: A person who dislikes grey may prefer to be straight to the point, no time for political and tactical attitudes. This person will demand clarity, and knowing where he/she stands exactly.

Balancing emotions with Feng Shui...

Q. I constantly fret about money and the future, although my friends and family say I have no reason. How could I be more relaxed about my ability to earn money?
Ans. The metal chi energy of the west is associated with greater awareness of how to make money. To activate this, keep red flowers, coins on a red cloth in a metal pot or a mirror a mirror in this, keep red flowers, coins on a red cloth in a metal pot or a mirror in this area of your home. Decorating this direction of your home with red colours will also foster this beneficial energy.
The chi energy of the north can promote the feeling that money flows to you more easily. A crystal hung in a northern window, a metal wind chime over a northern door or growing ivy in the north of your home will therefore strengthen this chi energy and help your to achieve your aims.
The chi energy of the east is associated with self-confidence, and can help you to overcome any insecurity about earning money.

Q. My husband and are arguing a lot at home. Are there any Feng Shui recommendations that could help?
Ans. Bright colours, such as red, orange, purple and yellow, are particularly stimulating yang colours, and overexposure to these could encourage confrontational behaviour. To activate more yin energy, you should, therefore, decorate your home with pale greens, blues, creams and other pastel colours instead. Flowers, fabrics and decorative objects are all good ways to introduce these colours into your home.
To create more slow-moving yin chi energy, have furniture in your home that is made form yin materials, wood and wicker. Glass, metal, marble and stone are all yang materials that will speed up the flow of chi energy, so avoid having furniture and surfaces made form these materials.
To align yourself with a more peaceful chi energy that, after time, can subtly calm your own chi energy, sleep with the top of your head pointing west, south-west, north-west or north.
If your front door is positioned to the south of the centre of your home or faces south, this will encourage more fiery southern chi energy to enter your home, bringing with it tension and arguments. To subdue this chi, paint your door matt black, brown, pale yellow or beige.

Q. My partner and I both lead such hectic lives that we rarely see each other, let alone spend any quality time together. Can you recommend any Feng shui solutions to this?
Ans. To facilitate this aim, you need to create a relaxing yin ambience at home. You should also boost the chi energy of the south-west, which encourages you to be more settled and home-oriented, and the chi energy of the west, which helps you to feel more romantic and content.
A cosy atmosphere is more yin and this can be created by furnishing your home with large cushions and soft, comfy sofas and chairs. Keep clay pots or containers, natural fabrics and decorative objects made form soft stone in the south-west.
It will be easiest to spend quality time with your partner when both your nine ki year numbers are in the south-west, west, north or south-east.

Q. The television has become the focal point of our household. The children are obsessed with it and I am worried abut the negative effects it could have on our health. What would improve this situation?
Ans. To limit your exposure, watch only the programs in which you are interested and don’t leave the television on for background sound. Unplug it once you have finished viewing so that electricity is no longer powering its transformer. Health green plants add their own natural chi energy to television. Peace lilies, cacti and spider plants.

Q. Lately, I have been very irritable and find myself snapping at other people readily. I generally feel tense, especially when at home. How can Feng Shui make a difference?
Ans: Curved shapes, textured surfaces and mottled, wavy or irregular patterns will further slow the flow of chi energy, so try to incorporate these features into your home. Plants with rounded or floppy leaves have a calming effect, so grow lots of these in your hove as well, especially in front of any protruding corners or along long corridors.
To absorb more relaxing chi energy when you sleep, turn your bed so the top of your head is pointing south-west, west, north-west or north. You should also face one of these directions when you are sitting in the living or dining room.
Eating lots of fruit, salads and vegetables will boost your personal yin energy. Similarly, wearing soft. Flowing and pastel-coloured clothing will encourage you to feel more at peace.

Q. I have been under a lot of stress at work and am having trouble getting to sleep, and then staying asleep. I notice that when I stay at my girlfriend’s house I don’t have this problem. What can do to my bedroom to help me sleep better at my home?
Ans: Lots of large, leafy plants in your bedroom will calm the flow of energy at night and help you to fall asleep. To encourage a tranquil and intimate mood, keep the bedroom door and curtains closed at night. Mirrors speed up the flow of chi energy by bouncing it about a room, so if you have a mirror in your bedroom, remove it or cover it up at night. Synthetic fabrics carry a static charge of electricity that will adversely influences your chi energy and provoke an unsettled night’s sleep, so make sure that all bed clothes and linen are made form pure cotton or other natural fabrics.

Q. I recently moved to a new home and have been experiencing a lot of nightmares. I wondered if the two are related and, if so, what Feng Shui can do to help me?
Ans: To calm the flow of chi energy in the bedroom, keep a rubber plant or any other plant with rounded floppy leaves in the room, especially in front of any protruding corners or sharp objects that point towards your bed. Bright colours, such as red, orange and purple, speed up the flow of chi energy, so try to decorate your bedroom with softer colours instead. Pal greens and blues are particularly good for fostering relaxing chi energy.

Q. I tend to be a rather jealous person and am constantly preoccupied with whether my friends pay too much attention to other people. How can Feng Shui help me with this problem?
Ans: To subdue the chi energy of the south-west, centre and north-east, place small ramekin dishes filled with one or two tablespoons of sea salt in the south-west and north –east areas of your home. Sea salt is extremely yang and absorbs chi energy, which will help to stabilize the flow so soil chi energy. If there is a door, staircase, bathroom, toilet or kitchen in one of these directions, the potential for jealous feelings increases, so make sure you place the sea salt on the floor next to any doors, at the foot of any stairs or anywhere in one of these rooms. Placing metal pots, paper weights, clocks or any other heavy metal objects in the south-west, centre or north-east of your home will also help to calm the offending soil chi energy, as will decorating with white, grey and silver objects in these areas.

Q I often live in the past and dwell on previous negative experiences. Obviously this is affecting my everyday life and I would like to move on. How can Feng Shui help?
Ans: The chi energy of the north-east is helpful for clearing your head of the past, changing direction and motivating yourself to move ahead. To increase this energy in your home, decorate the north-east with white flowers, objects made of stone or white rocks.
Eastern chi energy increases your enthusiasm for focusing on the future. Wooden furniture and objects bring out this energy, so incorporate wood into your home wherever possible. Light-coloured wood is better than heavy, dark wood. To further enhance eastern chi energy, keep a bowl of fresh, clean water in the east of your home. Brilliant whites, greens, blues and purples also encourage your to move on, so have as many of these colours as possible in your home.

Q. I get very anxious about little things and this often prevents me from taking on new challenges. How can I change this behaviour and become more courageous?
Ans: As rooms in the north are unlikely to receive direct sunlight, there is a greater risk of chi stagnation. By keeping plants in these areas, you will encourage the flow of healthy chi energy. Ivy is a good option because it requires little light. If there is insufficient light, you may need to experiment with a daylight bulb to encourage the plant’s healthy growth.
Glass, marble, granite and stone are all yang materials, so have furniture and decorative objects made from these in your home. Follow a more yang diet, concentrating on fish, grains and root vegetables, and cut down on sweets, raw fruits, iced drinks, coffee, wine and sugary soft drinks, which are all comparatively yin. Martial arts and vigourous outdoor exercise will also help your to become more yang.

Q. I suffer from extreme mood swings. One moment I feel very happy and the next I could be plunged into a deep depression. Do you have any suggestions that would help make me feel more balanced?
Ans: When you are feeling depressed, you can adjust your own chi energy by spending more time in big, open spaces or in rooms with bright colours and hard surfaces. To adjust your chi energy so that you don’t feel overactive, try spending more time in comfortable, cosy places that have plenty of soft furnishings.
One way to crate greater stability in your life is to develop daily routines that you stick to. For example, try to eat your meals at exactly the same time each day and go to bed at the same time every night. By doing this, your body will build up a rhythm that will help to moderate any mood swings. To help bring a routine into your life, sleep with the top of your head pointing north-west, the direction associated with gaining greater stability and self-discipline. A metal pendulum clock placed in the north-west of your home will also encourage you to develop a routine.

Celebrity of the month: Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra, one of the most sought after actresses of Bollywood today was born on 18th July 1982. She was being written off as an actress after her movies failed at the box office at the start of her career. But in year 2008 she was back with a bang. She has her kitty full now with big movies like Kaminey and Pyar Impossible etc. This former Miss World is now being linked to Shahid Kapoor and Gerard Butler after her split from Harman Baweja.
Priyanka Chopra is a Cancerian and she has all the traits, which are normally associated with a Cancer woman. She is sincere and has a positive attitude toward life and is always there to help others who are less fortunate than her. She was born on the 18th day of the month hence her ruling number is 9.

They are also very lucky as far as career and finance is concerned.

The year 2009 is predicted to be a very hectic one for her. There will be extra work and she must learn to handle the pressure without being frustrated. Saturn indicates that there might be an altercation with a loved one. As the year comes to an end she might want to take a break from work and spend some quality time with her loved ones. If Priyanka considers starting a serious relationship this year, she may face a lot of hurdles. Her sensitive nature will make it hard to make too many adjustments. When she falls in love she will want everything to be perfect. Year 2009 will be great for her in terms of work. Success and recognition will definitely come her way.

Feng Shui for Singles...

Are you single? Been looking for love without success? There’s no better way of attracting love than creating a smooth flow of chi with the help of Feng Shui. Did you know that a simple way to get into the love zone is to arrange the furniture around your house and make your bedroom a better space to invigorate romance? When areas of your home affecting your love life have a wrong floor plan or are cluttered, relationships are likely to get messed up. Here are some easy ways to get your love life back on track and connect with that someone special…All About Beds!

NEVER place your bed where the sides are against the wall. Place side tables on both left and right hand side of your bed. This attracts positive energy and is a welcome change if you want to start a new relationship. Clean up your bedroom and clap loudly to clear out negative energy out of your room and out of your life. Place your bed in such a way that there is equal space on both sides.Free Up SpaceIf you want to take your casual fling to the next level or want to take things forward with your love interest, you need to have some free space in your room. Make sure your closets, drawers and shelves are not filled to capacity or cluttered. Keeping some free space in your room will bring you one step closer to finding love.

Get Rid of Your Past

If you had an unsuccessful relationship, the first thing that you need to do is throw away stuff that reminds you of your past. Anything that belonged to your ex, maybe old clothes, photos that you clicked together or was a gift from your ex need to go. Do not keep old love letters stored away somewhere if you want your love life to get going.

The Right Images
Images have a strong impact on the kind of life you lead and the kind you desire so much. If you are fond of surrounding yourself with images make sure they do not symbolise loneliness, solitude, disagreement or sadness in any way. An image of a person alone is a sure shot way of saying goodbye to happy love relationships. No matter how special the image is to you, keep it away from your bedroom. The wall opposite to the foot of your bed is the best place for you to hang romantic artwork or anything in pairs. Anything that screams out “love” and “romance” will be perfect for your bedroom. 
Let chi find its way to you
Walk around your home and look out for dingy and dark corners. Throw away all burnt out candles or used bulbs and add some light to these dark corners for positive energy. Make sure the doors in your home are in good condition. Doors that squeak, get stuck or need repairing attract bad luck so make sure they don’t. Placing figures of two white swans on the far right corner of your bedroom will enhance your love life. You can also opt to light two red coloured candles at this corner for love.

Tide Through Lay-offs and Losses

What do the Tarot Cards have to reveal about your career, the lay-offs and losses? For how long will the situation continue to haunt us? Is there hope? When will the situation become better? What is the immediate future going to be like?
Over the past week I have read the cards of over a dozen people with similar questions. Ranging from “Will I find another job now that I’ve been laid off?” to “How will my financial state be?” to “How can I survive this recession?” Each one bone chillingly clear, each one revealing the insecurity and nervousness that exists right now in the hearts of many breadwinners across the world. To get an idea of the situation from the Tarot perspective, I pulled out a deck and asked “what do we need to know about the current economic state?”
And, this is what was revealed.

In the present moment, the reversed Wheel of Fortune indicates a phase of temporary bad luck in the economic realm. Since everything is cyclical, and every high must have a low, we are where we are. But, lows never last forever and tough times make souls tougher, more resilient, more innovative and, somehow, more real. It is now we see other human beings who are struggling for who they really are. No more are we cloaked and cushioned by luxuries, it is now we reveal a side to the world that can either make us or break us.
Our best way forward, reflected in the Page of Pentacles, indicates a time to just roll up the sleeves and do what needs to be done. A time to get practical and progress with realistic aims in mind. Windows of opportunity exist for all of us, but it requires actively going out and searching for them. Know your strengths and limitations, don’t short-sell yourself, but don’t expect over-the-top salaries, either. Diligent planning and grounding are key ingredients for tiding through this phase of layoffs, losses and uncertainty.
Our outcome within 6 months, with the Ace of Swords taking a prominent place, reveals the beginnings of a new chapter in our economy. After a period of stress and upheaval, some clear direction will emerge, some progress will be made and some risks would need to be taken by individuals and companies, alike. Further, the cards indicate a time for taking stock of the situation and remobilizing resources, stepping into new territory with logic and decisiveness. Perseverance and self-belief are key factors. As a sign of recovery, it is a positive indication of a new way with peace, prosperity and progress assured.

The Indian Economy in Year 2009

Why is there so much uncertainty in the financial market these days? Apart from the usual reasons, could it be that the fiery Saturn in Leo is the reason behind the worldwide financial meltdown?
The Sun is the ruler of Leo, and, when both Saturn and the Sun are in Leo, there is always some kind of uncertainty in the market. This is considered to be one of the many unfavourable planetary alignments in Astrology. This clash between the two planets causes financial problems.
The impact of the global financial crisis has been felt throughout the world but the Indian economy fares much better than the US. The financial meltdown that US nearly experienced is not likely to be seen in India. The last few months of the year 2008 will be a rough ride for investors due to the position of the planets Saturn and the Sun. Saturn in Leo and the Sun in Libra make this period unstable financially. The Sensex saw a sharp fall from its 20,000 mark in January 2008 to its 10,000 mark in October. This collapse in stock prices was felt due to the pullout by foreign institutional investors who retrenched their assets to cover up their losses at home. Astrologically, all the problems that the Indian economy has been facing have been due to the influence of the Sun and Saturn combination. The influence of this planetary position is likely to be felt for a few more months.
This global financial crisis felt everywhere has certainly affected the Markets in India too. Right now, inflation is at its peak. Serious efforts to decelerate inflation are being made by the government. The first rate cut will probably be seen at the beginning of 2009. Inflation will surely come down next year but the process will be a gradual one. India’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth is likely to come down a bit next year. However, this situation is likely to improve from February 2009 onwards and the Indian economy will rise by the middle of year 2009. The Rupee will be slightly stronger compared to the current fiscal year. It would not be wrong to say that the worst for the Indian economy would be over by next year, especially by the June-July. Investors who are worried about incurring losses will have a lot to feel better about next year due to the positive influence of the planets Mars, Mercury and the Sun. The financial situation is likely to improve a lot after March due to Mars and the Sun, both being in Scorpio and Mercury in Sagittarius. Mars is the ruler of Scorpio and when a planet sits in its own house, good times may be expected on all fronts.
