Cancer Astrology - For Moon Sign Cancer
The Zodiacal Sign of Cancer comprises of the last lunar mansion of Punarvasu & the four quarters of Pushya & Aslesha.
For Cancer Moon Signs, Mercury in the Ninth is negative as it can give hindrances & impediments ( Atha Vighnam ). Mars in the Eleventh can give you lucky breaks which can be converted into success. Venus in the Seventh is negative and can subject you to persecution from the opposite sex. Solar eighth transit can give rise to health hazards, unncessary journeys and dissipation of energy. Avoid cholesterol containing food. Fruits & vegetables must be consumed for optimum health. Jupiter in the Fourth is unfavorable and indicates problems. But Saturn is adverse and can bestow all sorts of sorrow. ( Nana Roga Shucham ). You are under Sade Sathi or Elarata Saturn and is advised to refrain from taking unnecessary risks. Health should be cared for. You may have to face bilious or windy complaints. Better avoid argument and quarrels. Domestic sphere will be characterised by a lack of harmony.
Profession - Saturn's shadow casts also on the professional sphere. There may be loss of good will, general complaints, calumnny, negative propaganda against you, misunderstandings with seniors and juniors, unnecessary travel, dissipation of energy, procrastination, unnecessary mental tension due to things being delayed etc. The Melancholy planet makes mental peace and happiness a rare commodity. Enemies find it easy to attack you and you will find it difficult confronting both inner and outer enemies.
Investments & Speculation - In any market, - gold, realty, stock & forex etc - the key to Market Success is Contrarian Investing. Buy cheap, sell dear is the principle in all markets -stock, realty, gold, forex etc.
Now, the Stock Market has reached Zenith levels. In some developing areas, real estate is experiencing a boom ( only in some areas, mind you ) . Kochin in Kerala, for instance, is developing fast and is an ideal place to invest. So is Goregaon in Bombay and Kutch in Gujarat. Realty prices have doubled in Bombay & Kochi. The intelligent investor is always Contrarian - that is he buys when the market is in a state of Recession and sells high, when the market is at Zenith levels ! He is far from the Madding Crowd, who go along with the Market. The Market is like the Lord. Like the Lord, it helps those who help themselves and punishes the violators ! If you want to be successful in investment, insulate yourself from the contagion of the crowd. Remember, Warren Buffett became wealthy because he bought blue chips when the Market was at Nadir levels and sold them at Zenith levels. Dow Jones opined that the key to Stock Market success lies in exercising one man's intelligence and the patience of six men ! Sell stocks at Zenith levels & invest in real estate, which is now in a state of Recession. When the Stock Market crashes, Realty will boom ! Sell Realty at Zenith levels. Research has it that at that time, Stock Market will be at Nadir levels and you can enter that field ! Recycle ! Know that all markets are governed by the RERC formula - Revival, Expansion, Recession & Contraction !
Transit of Rahu, the North Node
More spiritual progress can be expected. Some misunderstandings with coborns cannot be ruled out. You can improve your material and spiritual skills during this phase. Spiritual skills mean widening the horizons of knowledge, improved Self_Actualisation, improved understanding, increased wisdom and the practice of Love and Forgiveness. Material skills are technical, marketing, writing, speaking, PR, HR etc. You can succeed by removing the inhibitive factors in the mind, which really inhibit your progress. You can resort to Astro Therapy by reciting the mantra of Rahu - Om Rahave Namah - in a state of purity. If you wear a Rahu Yantra, the North Node may not trouble you.
For Punarvasu 4 - unnecessary wanderings and journeys.
For Pushya borns beware of spending too much
For Aslesha borns, uncivilised enemies create problems
Remedial Measures: Recite the mantra of Lord Saturn on Saturdays and wear a Saturn talisman. Lord Ayyappa or Hanuman, both representing the Air Principle, should be propitiated in a state of purity. Blue Sapphire can also reduce the suffering arising from Elarata Saturn. A Saturn Homa will work wonders, if done by bona fide Tantriks.
