Venus exalted in the 11th House of Libra assures you of a sharp rise in income. You will receive help from friends holding high office to achieve your goals. There will be numerous problems financial, health and family-related in the period up to November 30. You may have to incur heavy expenses and you might get drawn into litigation. The situation will change for the better after December 1. BY SUDARSHI From Siri in Baddegana Question: I appreciate your Astrology column very much indeed. This has helped me to understand how planetary movements affect the life of humans. I have undergone severe hardships during my life. I am told that I am heading for a very bad period in about two years time. I would like to know how true is this and in which way I will be affected and the remedial action I should take if possible. Answer: Everyone has to go through some bad patches in life. Shani Lagna Erashtaka at birth and Mercury in the 8th House may have caused you some suffering during your childhood. But, all in all, your life should definitely be a great success. You have got a head start in life fortified at birth by three powerful yogas: Amala yoga, Lakshmi yoga and Malavya yoga. Planetary positions at birth point to your being an intellectual, academic and a thinker. You must be now in retirement after a successful career possibly in public service. You are running the Rahu sub period in the Maha Dasa period of Mercury. The ongoing period up to February 17, 2011 is not auspicious. You must be suffering from food indigestion, rheumatic pains and a few other minor ailments which you need not take too seriously. The situation will change for the better when the sub period of Jupiter comes into operation in February next year. The period after November 1 next year will be much better for you. The ongoing period is not auspicious for your wife either. You are also advised to exercise tact in dealings with your children. There are certain rituals prescribed in Astrology to be performed to neutralise or counteract malefic influences. But my advice to you is: Practice meditation and lead a righteous life. That is the best remedial action you can take. From Sumana in Akmeemana Question: What are the planetary positions that lead to re-marriage? Answer: According to celebrated Indian astrologer Prof. B.V. Raman, re-marriage is possible when Two planets occupy the 11th House and when Mercury and Saturn occupy the 7th House. Lagna is a common sign and when the lord of the 7th House and the Moon occupy a common sign or a Navamsa. The Sun and Mars occupy the 7th House or have their Navamsa in the 7th. (This will result in the death or separation of the first wife and marrying for the second time.) The lords of the 7th House either from the Lagna or the Moon and Venus are favourably and strongly posited, there will be three marriages. If the lord of 7th House or Venus is in exaltation and two or more planets occupy the 7th House, there will be three or more marriages.

In this article, we propose to discuss what and how Planets influence foreign travel. Celebrated ancient Indian Vedic astrologers have dealt at length with factors causing a person to leave his country of birth for a foreign land for purposes of visiting relatives or places, on official duty or for taking up residence and they have explained how planets influence foreign travel and under what circumstances. The Sun: The Sun (Ravi) in the 8th House at birth indicates travel from country to country. PART 53 The Sun in the Lagna shows one would find his fortune in a foreign country. The Sun in the 5th House would make one a diplomat required to serve in foreign countries.

The Sun in the 4th House would lead to domicile in a foreign country as a professional. The Moon: A native who has the Moon posited in an angle which is a movable or a common sign may travel abroad a great deal Foreign travel is possible if the Moon is posited in a watery sign like Cancer or Pisces. An exalted Moon in the 12th, 8th or the 9th House indicates stay in a foreign land following a love marriage. Rahu: Rahu is a conferrer of foreign travel and foreign contacts as well as foreign things. What he confers can lead to an unhappy ending. Foreign travel is indicated when Rahu or Kethu is conjunct with the lord of the 7th, 8th, 9th or the 12th House. Rahu in the ascendant or in the 7th House shows foreign travel. The Moon and the Rahu in the 10th House holds the promise of high office in a foreign land. READ YOUR OWN HOROSCOPE Rahu in the ascendant, 7th House or the 12th House gives foreign travel.
