Just set boundaries, or service becomes self-sacrifice.

❤️ Love & Relationships
Ketu moves through your seventh house (Leo) this August, bringing marriage & partnership into focus. This is the heart of the matter. Marriage can feel karmic, unsatisfying or marked by distance and separation, and you may marry late or hesitate altogether. Honest self-awareness about your own withdrawal is the single most useful thing you can bring to a partner.
With Mars transiting your fifth house in Gemini, children ask for attention. Love is intense, passionate, and sometimes combative, since you treat romance a little like a contest to be won. This is not a Manglik position, so marriage faces less of the classical pressure found in the dosha houses. Learning to cool the ego in romance, and not turning disagreements into battles, deepens your bonds.
Rahu in your first house colours this August through self & personality. Partners are often foreign, much older or younger, or from a different background entirely. Attraction strikes suddenly and intensely. Be honest with yourself, because the same magnetism that draws people in can rest on an idealised image that reality eventually punctures.
🩺 Health

Some natives report phobias or a nervous, overstimulated constitution. Steady routine and grounding habits help more than you would expect.
With Sun transiting your sixth house in Cancer, enemies ask for attention. The 6th house is the house of disease itself, governing the intestines and digestion.
