Welcome a promising 2023 in moderation

By Dr T. Selva

The worst is over and we can now look forward to starting 2023 with positivity and care.
The new year is forecasted to be hopeful, but we must exercise caution and do things in
moderation to taste the joys of life in abundance.

Mixed results are unavoidable for some stars because Saturn's transit happens in January and may produce some ups and down.

However, it would be better than the post-pandemic 2022 because the world has recovered from the worst.

Challenges are part of understanding life; people should be conscious and usher in the new year with self-control.

Climate change and weather conditions will be a primary concern as the globe moves full steam ahead in economic growth and development.

Seventh-generation astrologer Master Yuvaraj Sowma in Chennai, India, analysed all the 12 moon signs and shared his findings with me to benefit all readers of this column.

He predicted that the business sector would see better growth and people would be allowed to move freely now compared to the previous years.

Below is an analysis of the future for the various zodiac signs using the Indian almanac.

The moon sign called rasi is based on the Indian calendar. Just so you know, Western
astrology is built on sun signs.

If, say, your Western astrological star sign is Aries, your sign under the Indian system might not be the same.

You can consult an astrologer to determine your moon sign because it is too complicated to explain how to do that here.

And don’t be disappointed if your forecast indicates a weak period ahead. You can avert the worst by performing prayers and spiritual activities, doing good deeds and performing acts of charity to mitigate hostile planetary forces.

It will be an excellent year for those born under the signs of Mesham (Aries), Simha (Leo), Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini) and Dhanus (Sagittarius).

The moderate level will be experienced by those who are Virchika (Scorpio), Kanya (Virgo), Kataka (Cancer), Meena (Pisces), and Kumbha (Aquarius).

Below-average results are expected for those who belong to Thula (Libra) and Makara
(Capricorn).

Mesham (Aries)

The favourable positioning of Saturn and Jupiter planets in your horoscope will bring
outstanding results. Physical health and financial status will improve tremendously and you can achieve your desired results. If you are married, some good news will come through your children. You can exercise restraint in your expenditure. You should enjoy greater peace of mind if you control your anger.

Vrishabha (Taurus)
It will be an eventful year for you and your value and respect will increase. Miracles will
