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 the 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, the stock market, giving and taking loans should be avoided.

Travel: Travel during the first half of the month will cause discomfort.

Health: Transits during the month indicate ill health to the family. Fever, body pain and other diseases are indicated. Enthusiasm will be less.

Finance, Business & Job: Be careful when dealing with officers of law during the 2nd half of the month. Any kind of recklessness can cause repercussions at the place of work.

This is a good period to learn something new and your mind will work in the right direction. Remove your frustration and get on with something new.
