The monthly horoscope for August 2017 is presented for you based on the moon sign, i.e. janma rashi in your horoscope, based on the Vedic niryana system. Please do not substitute your Sun sign or a western astrology moon sign here. If you do not know your janma rashi, please refer to the kundali application on this page. 8th house presence for Chandra is called Chandrashtama and is a period of grave caution. These dates are indicated. The dates for caution on financial matter are also indicated. People with a particular janma rashi should avoid dealing in financial matters on these dates, e.g. investment of property, stock market, giving and taking loans should be avoided.

Horoscope for August 2017 for Moon sign Aries – Mesha Janma Rashi

Sun transits through inauspicious 4th and 5th house during the month. Saturn is going through inauspicious 8th house and has cheshta-bal due to retrogression. Mars is going through manglik 4th house in transit but is weak due to debilitation. Jupiter’s transit through 6th house is difficult. Rahu is going through a 5th house transit. Ketu is going through a favourable 11th house transit, but during the month Mercury causes vedha. Venus will also go through favourable 2nd house. Mercury is transiting through 6th house. Overall, August will be a below average month for Aries borns.

Home, Family and Domestic Environment: Ashtama Shani indicates lack of support from family members. Other planets also cause problems with family members, children and love interest, where unnecessary strife will be caused. The one silver lining is that you will not be rash during the month, even when you are vehemently disagreeing with someone. Also, rest and recreation will allow you to get away from drudgery of the month. Therefore, the most important suggestion is to keep calm and not get unnecessarily stressed out during the month of August.

Travel: Travel during the first half will be uncomfortable. There are no major indications about travel in 2nd half.

Health: Be careful with health problems during the month. Fever, body ache, stomach problems can affect you negatively. Indecision will cause further problem, for example, do not postpone visit to doctor.

Finance, Business & Job: Both liquid as well as non-movable investments will come under pressure. You will need your decisions to be checked by an advisor. People sitting high up can create problems, especially in areas of finances, taxes, etc. Be careful with real estate investments. There will be lack of interest for follow up and opportunity may get lost.
