Weekly Predictions... Pisces (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Think twice before speaking or writing mails and as far as feasible avoid bringing up delicate subjects for discussion unless there is an immediate need for such discussions. Trips for sentimental/religious reasons may not pan out as per your expectations, and it may be better to postpone such trips to the later part of this month. However, you may still need to undertake short trips to handle some practical issues or may need to initiate some new project/ idea during this week itself on the professional front.

There could be problems in negotiation settings, document finalization, etc. Weird or unexpected developments are possible on the health-front. These could be potential irritants though not necessarily too threatening. Romantic luck is just average. 29th, 30th of April, and 1st and 2nd of May are good days.

Weekly Predictions... Aquarius (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Tension caused by unshared feelings, blocks your aspirations, delays that are not entirely caused by your shortcomings, inappropriate timing of projects causing hassles, and domestic misunderstandings can make you feel ruffled. Advancement during this period is not impossible – but riddled with difficulties. The opposition between Mars – the ruler of your career house and Saturn located in your house of career could mark a crisis moment at work, a tough collision with associates or superiors, or the necessity of making unpleasant choices.

If you remain focused, and take practical decisions in tune with the needs dictated by developments from time to time you will do reasonably well. 29th and 30th of April are the best days this week.

Weekly Predictions... Capricorn (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Though lot of planets are activating your solar 5th house – the indicator of intrinsic joy and romantic bliss, you won’t really feel as carefree or happy as expected due to the sensitive opposition of these planets with Saturn in your solar 11th house. Mercury – the ruler of your solar 6th house moving into your solar 5th house indicates obstacles in romantic matters and also an increase in general stress/ tension in your life situation.

You must avoid exposing yourself to unnecessary risks as far as feasible during this sensitive period. If you put other things before your own health, you will find that your vitality will give up on your during critical periods. Take care of yourself and be careful regarding your decisions this week.

Weekly Predictions... Sagittarius (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Your success during this week can be tied to your ability to organize yourself effectively and efficiently. As many planets are concentrated on your solar 6th house, there is increased chance of obstacles/ conflicts in your interactions with others. However, if you are disciplined in your approach, patient in your handling of conflicts, and tactful in your dealings, you can still do well. In financial matters, you must avoid the temptations to make fast-money.

Avoid lending/ borrowing large sums during this sensitive phase. Health of a loved one may need your attention and generally romantic luck is just average. In career matters too, the results won’t be in tune with your expectations. 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of May are best days this week.

Weekly Predictions... Scorpio (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Due to the stallion of planets in the 7th house being in opposition to Saturn during this week, there is risk of conflict in relationships – both professional and personal. If you are facing competitive situations this week, it is imperative that you prepare well and give it your best as planetary energies are not entirely harmonious or supportive to you. You must avoid impulsive decisions regarding marriage or professional partnerships. Do not enter into a relationship or break an existing tie in haste.

If you are in stable relationships, you must take special care to avoid speaking explosively as it might damage the harmony of the relationship. It will be prudent to avoid new relationships altogether for the time-being. 29th, 30th of April, and 1st of May are best days this week.

Weekly Predictions... Libra (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Things continue to be plain and not too exciting – the need to handle routines perfectly and to attend to practicalities overruling impulses towards more adventurous pursuits. Mercury moving into your solar 8th house on May 1st further augments this influence. Things will brighten up later on this month –but for the time-being you need to be content with keeping the wheels moving by attending to the practicalities.

On a positive note, this is a good period for settling ancestral property matters and for discussing joint finances. Security and stability will count more than anything else in romantic matters. This is a time when you must try to establish yourself at current levels so that you can launch your conquests from this level later on. 3rd, 4th, and 5th are best dates.

Weekly Predictions... Virgo (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Experimentation, exploration, and entertainment will be the focus of planetary energies this week. However, as the stelium in your solar 9th house forms dissonant aspect with Neptune in the 7th house, this will be an active period with potential for big success and improvement, BUT scattered with pitfalls caused by delusions/ misunderstandings. Whether you will be successful or not depends to a great degree on whether you manage to side-step the pitfalls.

Avoid making grand promises in a moment of exhilaration, and be judiciously sceptical about grand promises made to you by others. This is not the best of times to begin a new relationship, and in existing relationships you must keep communication clear and unambiguous. Money will come easily – but you must be careful about how to spend it!

Weekly Predictions... Leo (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

The focus of planetary energies continues to be the career sector of your life – just like the previous week. The entry of Mercury into your solar 10th house adds further flavor to that theme. You will be aware of what you should do to attain what you seek in your life. The only pitfall you must avoid during this phase is the impulse to get impatient with others in your team who may not be able to keep pace with what you expect.

It is better to work around the deficiencies of others rather than waste everyone’s energy by an unproductive conflict. The focus of the energies is so much on career front that you are likely to plan every other thing in your life around that only! A productive week is on the cards.

Weekly Predictions... Cancer (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

You may feel strong urge to socialize with existing friends, getting in touch with those who have not contacted your recently, and to establish new friendships. In career matters too, collaborative ventures will be luckier for you than projects that emphasize individuality and necessitate you to work on your own for long hours. Much of your achievement will happen when you work with others.

Someone you have known as a friend may express romantic interest in you, or if you have been looking for a suitable life-partner without good luck for a while, social occasions will bring you in touch with the person of your dreams. Contacts with people of other nationalities/ cultures can be beneficial to you.3rd and 4th are sensitive days. Rest of the week is good for you.

Weekly Predictions... Gemini (29th April - 5th May)

The theme of “holding back to recoup your energies” continues from the previous week. Mercury joins the 12th house from your sun sign on May 1st emphasizing the need to be discreet about your dealings. You need to check around you and be alert to potential scammers/traitors in your environment during the first week of May. Expenses may mount suddenly – especially due to developments on the health front.

Whenever any new idea strikes your mind, incubate it in your subconscious for some time. Immediate implementation of fleeting ideas may land you in a soup. Things won’t be clear regarding romantic matters too, or you may need to keep your romantic inclinations a secret for some more time…at least this is not the right time to wear your heart on your sleeves.

Weekly Predictions... Taurus (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

Passion runs high as Venus and Mars energize your solar house while Mercury – ruling your solar 5th house – indicative of romantic luck joins the party on May 1st. Sun in your first house adds charm to your personality, and you might be forthcoming in expressing your innermost thoughts to others. Just like the previous week, opportunities that come your way now will be unambiguous and you won’t be in any doubt as to what to do when things happen. Follow your instincts and you won’t go wrong in career matters.

Financial luck is good during this period though expenditure can be quite high due to impulsive Mars’ conjunction with your 2nd house lord and solar sign lord. 29th and 30th of April are sensitive days. Rest of the week is good for you.

Weekly Predictions... Aries (29th April - 5th May, 2013)

The focus of activities and events in your life could still be financial operations/ management because in addition to the stellium of planets energizing your 2nd house, Mercury also joins the 2nd house from 1st May 2013. You may find ways to boost your finances and also identify better strategies to manage your commitments. Money that others owe you and has not been returned to you might be returned to you unexpectedly. So, take efforts to get back amounts that others owe you. You will have pragmatic vision regarding all sectors of your life.

Sharing thoughts with others, moving with people who have identical mental wave-length, and discussing intellectual aspirations with others could be starting points for new relationships during this period. Overall this could be a good week for you.

Weekly Predictions... Pisces (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

Your focus could be on understanding your immediate environment and adapting yourself to that. You may be busy handling communication, running errands, and indulging in light socialization. You are likely to be more curious and alert than usual, and this can help you in securing some small scale victories (the sort of successes that may seem insignificant at the moment, but will add up to your reputation in the long-run). You will find great value in exchanging ideas with like-minded others, and will take bold decisions while helping out others who reach out for your assistance.

The lunar eclipse on April 25th triggers your solar 9th house indicating possibility of sudden journeys, interesting spiritual insights, or mystic experiences. 23rd, 24th, and 25th are best days this week.

Weekly Predictions... Aquarius (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

Try nurturing your home base – like improving relationship with family members, renewing friendship with family friends, and doing things that are aimed at ensuring future security this week. You are likely to be sentimental and nostalgic now, and these tendencies will help you to send the right vibes to those around you – to interact with you at a soul level without pretences and with genuine mutual concern. Establishing a stable environment that you can turn to will give you a feeling of “being anchored well” in life.

The eclipse on 25th might bring work-life/ home-responsibility conflict to the fore for some of you, and developments on the career front may require you to change tack in some way in the near future. 25th, 27th, and 28th are best days this week.

Weekly Predictions... Capricorn (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

You are likely to feel on top of the world regardless of how things are developing in your life –because at this point in your life you will derive intrinsic joy from everything you do. You will go about life with the carefree attitude of a young child – learning something from every experience and deriving joy out of that! No wonder with such an attitude others will gravitate towards you. The flip side of this is that some of your friends/ associates may react with jealousy to the developments in your life.

The lunar eclipse on 25th April also falls on your friendship sector indicating that this could be a time for re-evaluating friendships/ associations – and circumstances will develop in a way that the true friends will stand out from the pretenders.

Weekly Predictions... Sagittarius (22nd April - 28th April)

Your self-esteem might be tied to the service you can offer others and the quality of work you turn out. You will be highly analytical and will appreciate good quality/standard in everything about you – be it work you do, service you offer others, or even in what others have to offer for you. Frivolity/superficial attitudes won’t gel with you now. You may embark on self-improvement/ fitness activities to experience a feeling of wellness.

As the lunar eclipse on 25th triggers your solar 12th house, you will strive to strike a balance between spiritual and mundane concerns, but this balance might not be apparent to others; the developments are most likely to be internal and offer you intrinsic satisfaction. Some of you may clear long-standing debts and experience the resultant emotional freedom and relief.

Weekly Predictions... Scorpio (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

Your ability to cooperate and harmonize with others will be good. Your focus will be on balancing your personal objectives with social/ family responsibilities, and you will come across as a caring partner during this period. This is an excellent time for resolving issues in matrimonial life, and for chalking out a joint agenda for the future with your significant other in life. Partners at work and loved ones at home will be able to appreciate the effort you take and the concern you show.

Lunar eclipse on your sun sign on April 25th emphasizes the need to balance need for independence and need for belonging, and you will ace in finding that balance that many find elusive! 23rd, 24th, and 25th are best days.

Weekly Predictions... Libra (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

Things are likely to be on a humdrum routine– where things seem boring, but we can’t avoid them as they are important. As you handle those routines, do not lose sight of the fact that it is by getting in touch with your own real self and untapped potential that you can set the base for future progress. If you feel undervalued or disrespected, stand up for yourself; don’t hold back in an effort to avoid confrontation at this point.

Lunar eclipse on April 25th triggers your 2nd house indicating that you may need to focus your energy on changing spending habits or finding new ways to augment finances. Happy reunion with other family members is likely in the near future for many of you. 27th and 28th are best days this week.

Weekly Predictions... Virgo (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

Feed your needs for self-expression and self-improvement by indulging in adventurous activities, new learning activities, research on subjects that hold your interest, or by embarking on interesting journeys to exotic locales. Experiment, evolve dynamic strategies, and innovate to get the best results on the career front. Romantic choices during this period can be unconventional in some way. The lunar eclipse on April 25th stimulates your solar 3rd house.

So there could be interesting possibilities involving the 3rd house like positive turn in your interaction with siblings, a flurry of activity in the neighborhood that will have your active participation, an adventurous decision taken by you giving good results, or culmination of some writing project (if you are creatively/intellectually inclined) giving you recognition and enhanced reputation.

Weekly Predictions... Leo (22nd April - 28th April, 2013)

Your visions are likely to be practical and you will expect tangible results in career matters. Do what you feel is right based on your hunches and things will fall in place in the best order for you. But, the concentration of energies on your career matters could bring work-life balance issues to the fore….especially so since the lunar eclipse on 25th April happens on your solar 4th house indicating surprises/ developments on the home front needing your attention or grabbing it anyway!

This could manifest as completion of a housing project, taking decisions for the welfare of parents, or relocation to home land. If you have been neglecting developments at home and have been leading a skewed existence, developments on the home front could jolt you to a rude awakening!
