Names starting with P

A mixed month, but manageable. Put your energy where the planets help and go slowly elsewhere. By month-end the balance will most likely be in your favour.

• Sun There may be friction with seniors or official offices. Do not get into ego battles; a few minutes in the early sun helps.
• Mars Courage and drive rise and you win in competition. Land and machinery matters do well too.
• Mercury Your mind and tongue are sharp. Study, accounts, contracts and business contacts all go well.
• Jupiter Luck is with you. Learning, good deeds and the backing of elders improve your finances.
• Venus (retrograde) Love and marriage feel sweet, comforts come into the home, and creative work is praised. But Saturn holds this back, so you get only part of it.
• Saturn (retrograde) Duties grow and results come late. Patience and discipline are your shield now; charity on Saturdays helps.
• Rahu Sudden chances may come, technology or overseas work pays, and you stay ahead of rivals.
• Ketu You may feel suddenly detached, and minor injuries are possible. A little meditation each day helps; worship of Ganesha is the traditional remedy.
