Money moves fast in the week before Diwali. Bonus letters and long queues at the jewellery shop arrive within days of each other. This year, Budh, the karaka of accounts, is not in the mood for that pace. It’s moving backwards through Tula, and on Wednesday evening, around 7:50 pm IST, it sits exactly with the Sun, completely combust. Expect at least one figure this week to be wrong somewhere, perhaps on a payslip or a shop invoice.
How to Navigate This Week’s Energy
On Monday evening, the Moon meets Mars in Karka, where Mars is debilitated. A colleague might snap over a delayed file, or your boss may send a curt message at 8 pm. Read it, close the laptop, and answer on Tuesday.Things lift once the Moon meets Guru in Simha before sunrise on Tuesday. Wednesday afternoon adds a Venus-Jupiter sextile. If you’ve been wanting to ask for a raise, these are the two best days. Start the conversation, but hold the formal letter until the second fortnight.Thursday shifts the Moon into Kanya. Then, early on Friday, retrograde Venus slips back into Kanya too, which is its debilitation sign, on the very morning of Dhanteras. People buy gold and new vehicles on this day. Ask the shopkeeper to explain each line on the bill. Making charges and “handling” fees have a way of growing at the counter.On Saturday, Choti Diwali, Saturn from Meena aspects the weak Venus. Some employees may hear that the bonus will come “after the audit”. If that happens, don’t borrow to fill the gap.Sunday is Lakshmi Puja, with the Moon in Tula beside the Sun and Mercury. Traders can open their new bahi-khata as usual, but keep fresh agreements for after Mercury turns direct, which is around 14th November.
