Weekly Predictions: 11th Oct to 17th Oct 2015

Aries ( 21st March to 20th April ) : The first day of the week is the last day of the wanning Moon. You are thus likely to feel blue. Furthermore, Moon is in conjunction with Rahu and Sun, and the solar eclipse is taking place in Libra in the 7th House from your Sign. Both these developments may further impair your marital bond, which has been going through troubled times lately. The new Moon rises on Tuesday, and if you do not hold on to the unpleasant memories and show eagerness to start over again, the cosmos shall certainly support you. But around mid-week, you may once again feel low, this time because you may not be able to live up to the expectations of loved ones. Moon is in the 9th House, and is placed close to Saturn. On the other hand Mars in the 6th House and Saturn in the 9th House are aspecting each other. While Mars’ influence over Moon is likely to keep you active and motivated, Saturn may play the role of a guiding star.

Taurus ( 21st April to 21st May ) : As the wanning Moon nears Rahu and Sun on the very first day of the week, you are likely to feel depressed as well as direction-less. But the new Moon rising on Tuesday, shall bring with it new hope. You may now be able to think of ways to resolve the issues that have been bothering you lately. At the job front, you may perform your duties sincerely but not succeed in impressing your boss. Change in responsibility cannot be ruled out.
