Planets this week- 13^th to 19^th February 2011

The sky witnesses the transit of three fast moving planets other than Moon this week. The fiery planet Sun on 13^th morning, the fiery Mars on the afternoon of 15^th and the intelligent planet Mercury on 18^th evening, all enters Kumbha rasi. The combustible motion of Mars and Mercury is continuing. The retrograde motion of Saturn is also continuing in Kanya rasi.

Politically the upsurge of common people against the corrupt politicians and higher officials will be the important news this week. Criticism against some judgments is also seen on the cards.

'Precaution' is the watch word in the matter of personal health, particularly against accidents and blood pressure in the coming weeks.  Those who are running the bukthi or sub – bukthi of Mercury and Mars are advised to take precautionary measures against the above.

This is a good week for the Mesha rasi borns as the benefic and powerful malefic planets are continuing their blessings.  Daring, courage and determination come to you as you decide to get your act together and pursue the goals and objectives that are visible to you. You will even be ready and willing to move house/office, change jobs and organize a second home in your desire to get ahead.  But don't take hasty decisions.

The present favorable transit of the fiery planet Sun and Mars will bring new confidence and extra energies to those who are born in Rishabha and Dhanus rasis.  You can start planning your strategies for the future now which will give fruitful results in the coming weeks. Be ready to start utilizing.

Mithun, Makara and Meena rasi borns can make this week favorable if you move little cautiously.  'Caution' should be the watchword in all you does regarding money maters, love matters and family matters this week.  You are advised to be extra careful on receipt of money or gifts or other favors from unknown persons.  Never take them for their word as honeyed words might conceal their true motives.

Those who are born in Kataka, Vrishika and Kumbha rasis are advised to keep an eye on details, everything you do this week, as there will be a challenge mid week with close partners due to the present planetary alignment.  Try to soft pedal and don't get too intense.  Be patient and you will be back at working hard with a vengeance and will be upbeat about what you hope to achieve without much delay as Jupiter favors you a lot.

Other than Venus only the intelligent Mercury and shadowy planets are there to favor to those who are born in Simha and Tula rasis. Professionally you are advised to be on guard and be prepared to face unforeseen developments that might be unsettling to your current progress.  But romance during this week can be highly thrilling and invigorating if you are moving cautiously.

Those who are born in Kanya rasis are blessed by the strong planets, Jupiter and powerful malefics.  Both your personal image and your public one really shine now – though the astro - indications are more for the latter.  You will be brilliant, innovative and efficient at work.  It is bound to reflect on both family life and personal interactions. Utilize the period.
