MUMBAI, 02 OCTOBER, 2020 (GPN): 1)Aries

The pace tends to be busy today, dear Aries, largely because your curiosity is big and attention span a little short. There can be some conflicts between the desire for freedom and the need to tend to work and routines. It may be a little difficult to discipline yourself now, particularly if your heart’s not into what you’re doing at the moment. Fortunately, the month ahead brings building motivation levels and a stronger sense of purpose or mission. Today, take in, connect, and learn.

2)Taurus

There could be commitments to help people out today that get in the way of your own plans, needs, or wants, dear Taurus. Your emotional focus is more practical than anything today, and you could feel a stronger need to produce or to be productive, but distractions are likely. If you can manage it, you may be better off working by and for yourself just for now. Fine-tune plans right now, and get the details right before moving things along.

3)Gemini

It can be a little difficult balancing home and friends today, dear Gemini, or you could find yourself in the position to explain that an outside commitment prevents you from spending time with someone in your life. Focus on physical work, if possible, that gets you ahead, because energy channeled constructively can prevent nervous tension or restlessness. The Moon in your sign brings buried emotions to the forefront, and you can find easy expression in creative pursuits today. You might discover that you’re in demand today.

4)Cancer

You might find that you’re in demand today, dear Cancer, or possibly called upon to do your duties or perform your responsibilities when your mind is elsewhere. Obligations can conflict with what you’d rather be doing, and certainly, you’re in need of some rest and emotional renewal. Work can be overwhelming today, but you’re in demand and this can be considered a good thing! Revisions made now to projects or your work can be especially beneficial in the future. You’re inclined to keep to yourself or require some break from the hustle and bustle with the Moon in the sign behind yours all day.

5)Leo

There could be some seesawing between impatience and caution today, dear Leo. Part of you wants to explore your horizons and your options, and another part would prefer to focus on what you’ve already been building. Don’t let this predicament keep you in a state of “not doing”. If you’re on the fence, put your efforts into something you absolutely know needs doing, and then return to your decision a little more refreshed and less burdened. The Moon is in your solar eleventh house all day so that connecting with others in some way can help fill you emotionally.

6)Virgo

You may be feeling a little pressured to make a decision or to make changes today, dear Virgo, but it may be best to slow down or wait until you are more “in the know” and feeling clearer. Try to control impulses to act hastily. Others could be pushing your buttons, or there could be a lack of appreciation for all that you do, and this can be frustrating. However, you’re certainly coming into your own. It’s probably better to do things at your own pace or independently rather than waiting on others for their input. The Moon is in your solar tenth house all day, at the top of your solar chart, and you could feel that you’re in the spotlight – people seem to be taking note of what you are doing, or haven’t done! This can be a good time to follow the rules and fill your responsibilities to the best of your ability.

7)Libra

Try not to spend too much time on inner conflicts today, dear Libra, as this can lead to unnecessary stress, anguish, and a state of limbo that gets you nowhere. It’s best to turn your attention to what needs doing and then coming back to your predicament or decision after you’ve had time to process things. It can be rather futile to do battle with others or the outside world when you are conflicted on the inside. A partner may remind you of a commitment or obligation that you’d prefer to forget, or they may be challenging your intentions. However, the Moon’s presence in your sector of adventure and higher thinking can pull you out of a funk. It can be fairly easy to work off steam by channeling emotions and energy into a creative pursuit.

8)Scorpio

You could be feeling a little divided in both attention and time today, dear Scorpio, particularly between work or the responsibilities of your daily affairs and your personal or social life. Your mind can be elsewhere as you fill your duties, but you can’t entirely enjoy yourself until they are filled! It can be difficult to get others to cooperate with you just for now, especially if you are having a hard time sorting out your own desires and needs. However, this is a good time for discoveries about feelings and emotions. In fact, you may have a eureka of sorts about a past matter that is quite satisfying.

9)Sagittarius

You could be having a hard time concentrating and focusing today, dear Sagittarius, and may not know where to direct your time, energy, and attention. An obligation to someone in your life might be interfering with the need to push a business or career project forward. Try to slow down and avoid the unnecessary stress of indecision. Avoid trying to fix situations or people when it’s probably best to let thing play out naturally or the let things be. Today is best used for tending to details and fixing problems rather than pushing forward without a defined goal. With the Moon in your partnership zone, you may want to lean on someone you trust.

10)Capricorn

You could have some problems coming together with others smoothly today, dear Capricorn, as relations may feel a little off at times, as if you’re getting in the way of each other. This is simply a timing issue – something that happens now and again and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. However, it’s best to avoid pushing forward with your ideas or plans on a day when timing is a little off. Focusing on practical matters and details can be better than doing big-picture thinking, decision-making, and goal-setting. The Moon in your solar sixth house all day reinforces this, as it’s a good time for ironing out problem or weak areas in your life.

11)Aquarius

Although your life sometimes feels like a roller coaster ride these days, dear Aquarius, there could be a part of you that enjoys the challenge or intuitively understands that some change is necessary in order to pull you out of a rut. Today, you may be confronting the part of you that is looking to stir things up, and you might consider ways to let this work for you rather than against you! The Moon spends the day in your sector of play and creativity, and this can certainly elevate your spirits, particularly as the Moon connects with the Sun in your sector of higher thinking and spirit.

12)Pisces

You could be dealing with crossed wires that leaves you lacking the necessary information or confidence to make an important decision today, dear Pisces. It may be better to wait things out. October is actually quite powerful for decision making and confidence generally speaking after the 9th. Instead of getting worked up unnecessarily over things you can’t currently change, attempt to focus on productive, positive efforts and activities. Part of you is attracted to the excitement of a challenge, and another part is drawn to things and situations that keep you feeling balanced and steady. Try not to let this inner tug of war keep you in a state of limbo or stress you out.

NOTE: Zodiac is a form of western astrology, where the movement of the sun at the time of a person’s birth brings forth revelations about his/her physical traits, characteristics, state of mind, etc. To understand the zodiac signs conversantly, one has to first know what zodiac is, and the way it functions. In simple terminology, zodiac can be defined as a circular path comprising of twelve 30 degree segments, known as the various signs of the zodiac. This circular path is also known as the ecliptic, the path that the sun takes to revolve around an imaginary sphere around the earth, known as the celestial sphere. The point where the sun begins its 360-degree journey is at zero degrees or the vernal equinox. The vernal equinox also marks the beginning of the first sign of the zodiac, which is the Aries. As the sun moves along the ecliptic, it passes the various signs of the zodiac, occupying each for a while, in order to pass through it completely. A Person born in a time that is the same as the duration of the sun’s occupation of a particular sign will fall under that specific sign of the zodiac. Consequently, his/her traits, habits, behavior, etc. will be determined by this movement of the sun, which is what the zodiac signs are all about.

As per the science of Vedic Astrology followed in the Hindu religion, the Rashi of a person means the segment of the moon’s orbital path occupied by it, at the time of a person’s birth.In western astrological concepts such as the zodiac, the sun’s movement is studied to derive the traits and characteristics of a person. Whereas, the Rashi of a person is derived from the movement of the moon during his/her birth. This is because the moon is given preference over the sun as it is closer to the earth, and influences the other Vedic astrology concepts such as the planetary transits and the Dashas. In fact, the naming of babies is carried out as per the observation of Rashis during their birth. Each Rashi defines various syllables by which a baby can be named.

The twelve Zodiac and Rashis and their names are:

S. No.	Latin names Zodiac Signs	Sanskrit Rashi names
1	Aries (The Ram)	Mesha
2	Taurus (The Bull)	Vrishabha
3	Gemini (The Twins)	Mithuna
4	Cancer (The Crab)	Karkata
5	Leo (The Lion)	Simha
6	Virgo (The Maiden)	Kanya
7	Libra (The Scales)	Tula
8	Scorpio (The Scorpion)	Vrishchika
9	Sagittarius (The (Centaur) Archer	Dhanush
10	Capricorn (The Sea-Goat) Goat Horned	Makara
11	Aquarius (The Water-Bearer)	Kumbha
12	Pisces (The Fishes)	Meena

Hence, the zodiac and Rashi are a lot like each other, but not exactly the same.

Comparison between Zodiac signs and Rashi:

Astrology is a scientific system that is centered on the belief that the planetary positions have a direct impact on one’s life. According to astrology’s beliefs, one can predict the future based on the position of the sun, the moon, and the planets. Also, as per astrology, the position of the sun, the moon, and the planets at the time of one’s birth can have a direct impact on their lives and the events in it.

Horoscope is derived from astrology.  Astrology is art, while, horoscopes are paintings. They are interrelated. There cannot be one without the other. Astrology is the process that is used to make horoscopes.
