A mixed day
The Moon today
The Moon is in Virgo today — the 9th house from Capricorn (bad house, eased by vipreet vedha). Officialdom and business both go against you, children are unwell, and luck simply will not run.
What the book says
Trouble from the state and loss in business; disagreement with sons and poor health for them; stomach and chest complaints such as cholera or pneumonia; fortune does not support the native and enemies harass him.

From 16:19 the Moon moves into Libra, your 10th house: Things go your way at work: tasks close, seniors are pleased, and there may be a promotion.
What the book says
The desired work is accomplished and everything is completed easily; good health; money and honour from the state; promotion in service; superiors are pleased; good comfort at home.
