Simha (Leo) weekly rashifal: 17 August - 23 August 2009 - Good

The weekly rashifal for Simha (Leo) Moon sign, 17 August to 23 August 2009. It follows where each planet stands counted from your Moon sign, the way a traditional rashifal does, and describes tendencies rather than certainties.

This week leans in your favour. The planets that help you are well placed compared with most weeks, so it is a good time to move plans forward.

  • Help elderly people or those who do hard physical work, in any way you can.
  • Accept that some results come slowly; keep going without forcing the pace.

Sun is in a testing place for you, touching your energy and confidence.

  • Show steady respect to your father, elders and people in authority, even when you disagree.
