New Lunar Year "MANMADHA" Outlook

Caution at Higher Levels …   Second Half  Bearish Bias….!!!

Astro Guide for the New Lunar Year, “MANMADHA” :: New Lunar Year, MANMADHA, commenced from 20^th March 2015 at 3.07pm in Cancer  Lagna  (UGADI on Saturday ) with Retro Jupiter placed in Lagna,  Rahu and Ketu in Virgo and Pisces; Retro Saturn in Scorpio  (5^th  house); Mercury in Aquarius (8^th House); Sun, Moon, Mars and Ketu in 9^th house Pisces and Venus in Aries (10^th house);.  Slow moving planets Jupiter and Saturn are both retrograde.

Saturn would be aspected by benefic Jupiter upto middle of July and the sectors represented by Saturn such as mining, coal, steel etc., would be benefited. After July these sectors could be adversely affected as benefic aspect Jupites gets withdrawn. On the other hand, Jupiter in transit from Leo  would be aspected by Saturn from middle of July and the sectors represented by July such as Finance,  Law, Stocks, foreign affairs etc., could be adversely affected.

Based on the planetary movement, tough time from middle of July or August and more tough time from  February, 2016 can be expected.  Rupee could weaken towards the financial year end. Jupiter’s transit in Leo could improve the prospects of Bullion Prices. However, crude continue to remain under pressure due to the transit of Saturn in Scorpio but could rebound from August.  

 Government may not be able to perform upto the expectation in Second half  and the Government moves could be more beneficial for foreign enterprises than domestic enterprises.  Realestate  too may not perform well. 

Historically, May of Odd year (2015 being odd year) can be expected to be better. April could be a dull month.  There would be  a trend change from middle of July and from the end of January.

Persons born in Sagittarius, Aries, Cancer should be careful generally with regard to financial affairs.  After middle of  July, financial affairs of persons born in Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces would be generally better.
