Vrishchika (Scorpio) weekly rashifal: 15 February - 21 February 2016 - Go carefully

The weekly rashifal for Vrishchika (Scorpio) Moon sign, 15 February to 21 February 2016. It follows where each planet stands counted from your Moon sign, the way a traditional rashifal does, and describes tendencies rather than certainties.

Sun in your 4th house

Go carefully
Areas of life:Family and home

Sun stays in Aquarius all week.

The Sun stands for confidence, authority, recognition and your relationship with your father and people in charge.

Mercury in your 3rd house can bring mix-ups in messages and paperwork. Read before you sign and keep promises small.

Held back
Areas of life:Career

Venus stays in Capricorn all week.

Venus stands for love, comfort, beauty, pleasures and partnership.

Venus in your 3rd house brings good friends, pleasant outings and support from siblings. Small gains are likely.

For now Saturn obstructs Venus's good results (vedha), so comforts and pleasant times may be fewer than this placement promises.

What it means for you

  • Career: the support is there, but recognition comes more slowly than you hope.

Remedy for this week

Small, voluntary practices for the planets that ask for the most care this week. They cost nothing and promise no particular outcome; take up only what feels right.

For Saturn, best on Saturday

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

  • 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.

For Mars, best on Tuesday

Mars is in a testing place for you, touching spending, rest and the inner life.

  • When anger rises, move first (a walk, some exercise) and speak later.
  • Avoid starting disputes on impulse; sleep on any confrontation.
