The week ahead

THE advent of the New Moon on Monday at 10:28 GMT portends the beginning of a new cycle of your year. Traditionally, the New Moon in Virgo ushers in a period of introspection and soul- searching that helps each of you to re-orient for the Autumnal Equinox on Saturday, September 22.

The Harvest Moon that follows the Fall Equinox then portends a time of reaping the harvest of good thoughts that you had at the Virgo New Moon.

The Harvest Moon, when the Moon appears closer to the horizon than at any other time of year, arrives on October 2 this year. l

M. Sukumaran,

Thiruvananthapuram-2.

SATURN is the foremost Yoga Karaka for Thula Lagna. Mercury and Venus are benefics. The Sun, Mars and Jupiter are malefics. The moon and Mercury combining in a good House will afford fine fortune. The Sun and Jupiter are Maraka planets.

For natives of Kumbha, Venus is Yoga Karaka, Venus and Mars combining in the 9th or the 10th will bring good fortune. Mars and the Moon are Maraka planets. If both of them combine in a House, the native may undergo suffering.
