Simha (Leo) weekly rashifal: 21 August - 27 August 2017 - Go carefully

The weekly rashifal for Simha (Leo) Moon sign, 21 August to 27 August 2017. 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 asks for more care than most. Several of the important planets are in testing places, so keep to steady work, avoid hasty decisions and give things time.
