The week ahead

THE Full Moon July 5 coincides with a partial eclipse of the moon at 15.05 GMT. The sun will be in Cancer. The moon will be in the opposing sign of Capricorn.

During a lunar eclipse, the mental energy of the sun temporarily overpowers the feeling energy of the moon. Consequently, you and others may feel uncharacteristically cerebral or willful at the time of the eclipse.

After the eclipse, you may experience a new insight about your own nature or about the direction of your life. Prepare to receive a new insight by thinking about an area of your life that needs improvement.

What planetary combinations indicate the blessing of a good wife? Is there any mantra or penance which will help?

K. Venkatesh, Bangalore.

FOR a happy marriage with a good spouse, mainly the lord of the 7th, and Venus who is Kalatra Karaka, play important roles in the birth chart. If the 7th lord is a natural benefic, is conjoint with Jupiter or Mercury or receives their aspects, and if Venus is well-placed receiving beneficial aspects, the chances are good for entering into harmonious matrimony. After examining carefully the horoscope, it is possible for learned, experienced astrologers to recommend prayers and rituals to propitiate the appropriate planets - Venus and the lords of the 7th and the 9th included - to lead to happy outcomes, God willing.
