Today you may find yourself in the position of lending a much-needed ear to a friend who needs to talk. Your neutrality is appreciated, as well as the knowledge that you care about this person's well-being. The friendship you provide today will do a world of good for your friend, and your kindness will be repaid in the future.

You are full of determination to achieve your professional goals this week and nothing can stop you from doing so due to the positive effects of Ketu moving into Venus. You can rely on the help and support given by your co-workers and superiors in this endeavour. Helping others and doing charity work also figure largely in your schedule this week. This will give you a lot of satisfaction. Take care not to antagonize your partner over trivial issues.

Due to the influence of Ketu, there might be some strain at home regarding an important matter. Do not be overly emotional and rash in your actions. Reacting impulsively to a situation might put events into motion which you would have no control over. Instead of wondering and getting an explanation out of someone who seems difficult or distant, be proactive. Come the second week and you might need to make some major changes in your attitude in order to be able to cope with some tough situations that come your way. The atmosphere at home will improve a great deal due to the influence of Mercury paving the way for your financial progress. Your colleagues at work will be more than willing to help you out if the need arises. This might also be a good time for you to start that project you have been making plans for, it is most likely to succeed. During the mid month, you will be full of determination to achieve your professional goals. Take care not to antagonize your partner over trivial issues, though. Towards the month end, a problem that has been troubling you for quite some time gets resolved leaving you relieved due to the movement of Jupiter.
