You will get rid of financial troubles.

Remedy: Serve your father or someone like your father and take their blessings.

Capricorn

Whole of the month is positive from profession's point-of-view. But, you need to be a bit cautious during first fortnight due to Sun in 8th house. If you're about to start something new, ponder over it properly before taking any decision. However, second half will provide you some respite. You may get success. Finances will improve. Coordinate closely with your seniors during this month.

Remedy: In case of any trouble, offer vermilion mixed water to Sun.

Pisces

As Sun is transiting in your sixth house, beginning of this month is good for you. However, Saturn is conjoining with Mars in eighth house. Therefore, everything should be done with utmost care and smartness. Albeit, Sun's positive placement will help you get rid of old problems. You will succeed defeating your enemies. Success in everything you do is a strong possibility. But, tread through second half of the month somewhat cautiously. Take care of professional things along with family and health.

Rishi Panchami 2014 - The Legend

There used to live a Brahmin named Uttank, with her wife. Their daughter who was a widow, used to live with them. One night, many ants attacked their daughter and covered her whole body. Her parents got shocked to see this. They became worried and immediately called a saint. That saint was a learned sage and told the reason behind the incident. He told them that, in the previous birth, their daughter had entered the kitchen during her menstruation days. He advised the girl to observe Rishi Panchami Vrat with full devotion, as doing so will help her in getting rid of her sins. He also told her that this Vrat will purify her body and soul. 

As said by the saint, the girl performed all the rituals of Rishi Panchami with pure heart and devotion. As a result, she got free from her negative Karmas (deeds) of previous birth.

If you are suffering from Ketu’s major-period or sub-period, or if there are problems related to business, job or health, chant the Mantra “ॐ गं गणपतये नमः” 21000 times on this sacred day. Offer Doob Grass, (also known as Durva) and Motichoor Laddoo to Lord Ganesha. Perform Havan with the one tenth part of the Mantra and offer food to Brahmins. You will be liberated from all problems related to Ketu.”

Ganesh Chaturthi: Birth Story of Lord Ganesha

Lord Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. According to Hindu mythology, Lord Ganesha was crafted by Goddess Parvati from sandalwood (Chandan) paste, for her protection. Once Parvati had to go for bath and to make sure nobody enters inside, she instructed Lord Ganesha to stand at the door. While Ganesha was guarding the door, Lord Shiva arrived and tried to go inside. As Lord Ganesha wasn’t aware about the Lord, he stopped him from going inside. Ganesha’s this act frustrated Shiva and in extreme anger, he chopped off Ganesha’s head. However, after knowing the truth from Maa Parvati, Lord Shiva realized his mistake and replaced the head of Ganesha with an elephant’s head and Ganesha became alive. It is said that from that day, it was declared that Lord Ganesha would always be worshiped before worshiping other deities.
