Astrological Analysis
In the shadbal chart of Cipla, all the stars except Mars are in strengthening positions. In the natal chart of Cipla, Venus, Lord of production house, and Mercury, Lord of economic house and gains, are in the 1st House. Mars, Lord of destiny and development, is in conjunct with Jupiter, Lord of speculation, in the 3rd House.
Rahu (debilitated) is situated in the House of value and production. Saturn is posited in its own sign while Moon is posited in the 8th House. Ketu is posited in the benefit House of government, so the company is not enjoying the policies framed by the government, says Ganesha.
Jupiter will transit through Saturn in the 7th House till July 30, 2009. During this period, the company may add a new product to each category viz. Tablets & Capsules, Bulk Drugs, Aerosols, Injections/Sterile Solutions Liquids Creams, Tablets & Capsules, Agro Chemical Formulations.
A congenial environment may prevail in the organisation and Cipla may register sizeable increase in its output. Jupiter under favourable aspects indicates business tie-ups with foreign companies aimed at joint product/technology development, etc.
What next?
Currently, Saturn is passing through the 1st House and will remain till September 9, 2009. This period may cause tendencies of indiscipline and discontentment among workers, which can affect the company’s standing. Workers, frustrated because of company’s apathy towards their financial woes, may resort to protests. Detractors in the management may instigate employees to take advantage of the situation.
Crucial periods
From June 15 to July 12, 2009
