The Sun-The Sun is the lord of 12th house. If strong, conjunct or aspected by benefics gives very good results, e.g. finance, estates, health, and fane. A weak and afflicted Sun in his dasa bhukti causes eye trouble, much expenses and penalties from government.
The Moon-The Moon is the lord of 11th house. A strong Moon is very auspicious for wealth, but is bad for health in her dasa-bhukti.
Mars-As lord of 3rd and 8th evil houses, Mars causes much poverty and trouble in its dasa-bhukti to the native of Virgo ascendant. A strong Mars is though good for longevity yet bad for finance and vice-versa. For Virgo an ascendant Mars in 10th house is not strong as is in 3rd from Aries and 8th from Scorpio and conclusively causes loss of life or longevity, but not bad for finance. But for finance it should not be well aspected.
Mercury-Mercury is lord of lagna and 10th house. A Neutral as lord of 10th but to be auspicious as lord of lagna (a quadrant and trine) should be strong.
Jupiter-Jupiter is lord of two quadrants and according to Maharisi Parasara is very much spoilt because loses its auspiciousness completely. Such a Jupiter if weak and placed in 2nd, 6th or 12th gives health troubles and trouble from rulers etc. If Jupiter is placed in a quadrant in own house, it is good for estates, wealth, religious nature and prosperity.
Venus-Venus is the lord of 2nd and 9th houses and gives results as lord of 9th house. In its dasa-bhukti gives wealth, progress, comfort and power etc. A weak Venus is bad for these still gives some wealth.
Saturn-Saturn is lord of 5th and 6th houses. 5th is as much good as 6th is bad, but as the Moola-trikona sign of Saturn falls in 6th, therefore a little evil. This is the reason for which Maharisi Parasara does not consider Saturn to be good for Virgo Lagna.
Good Yogas for Virgo Lagna-
(1)Mercury + Venus.
(2)Mercury + Saturn,(with some defect).
Yogas with No Good-
(1)Jupiter + Venus.

An efficient allocation of capital is the most important finance function in the modern items. It involves decisions to commit the firms funds to the long term assets. Capital budgeting or investment decisions are of considerable importance to the firm since they tend to determine its value by influencing its growth, profitability and risk.
The investment decisions of a firm are generally known as the capital budgeting, or capital expenditure decisions. A capital budgeting decision may be define as the firms decisions to invest its current funds most efficiently in the long term assets in anticipation of an expected flow of benefits over a series of years.
The long term assets are those that affect the firms operations beyond the one year period. The firms investment decisions would generally include expansion, acquisition, modernization and replacement of the long term asset. Sale of division or business is also as an investment decision. Decisions like the change in the methods of sales distribution, or an advertisement campaign or a research and development programmed have long term implications for the firms expenditures and benefits, and therefore, they should also be evaluated as investment decisions.
It is important to note that investment in the long term assets invariably requires large funds to be tied up in the current assets such as inventories and receivables. As such, investment in fixed and current assets is one single activity.
The following are the features of investment decisions,
The exchange of current funds for future benefits.
The funds are invested in long term assets.
The future benefits will occur to the firm over a series of years.
Importance of Investment Decisions
Investment decisions require special attention because of the following reasons:
They influence the firms growth in the long run
They affect the risk of the firm
They involve commitment of large amount of funds
They are irreversible, or reversible at substantial loss
They are among the most difficult decisions to make
Growth
The effects of investment decisions extend into the future and have to be endured for a longer period than the consequences of the current operating expenditure. A firms decision to invest in long term assets has decisive influence on the rate and direction of its growth. A wrong decision can prove disastrous for the continued survival of the firm; unwanted or unprofitable expansion of assets will result in heavy operating costs to the firm. On the other hand inadequate investment in assets would make it difficult for the firm to compete successfully and maintain its market share.
Risk
A long-term commitment of funds may also change the risk complexity of the firm. If the adoption of an investment increases average gain but causes frequent fluctuations in its earnings, the firm will become more risky. Thus, investment decisions shape the basic character of a firm.
Funding
Investment decisions generally involve large amount of funds, which make it imperative for the firm to plan its investment programmers very carefully and make an advance arrangement for procuring finances internally or externally.
Irreversibility
Most Investment decisions are irreversible. It is difficult to find a market for such capital items once they have been acquired. The firm will incur heavy losses if such assets are scrapped.
Complexity
Investment decisions are among the firms most difficult decisions. They are an assessment of future events, which are difficult to predict. It is really a complex problem to correctly estimate the future cash flows of an investment. Economic, political, social and technological forces cause the uncertainty in cash flow estimation.

Buying a home and arranging a mortgage is said to be one of the most stressful experiences we can have in live, yet it doesn’t need to be. No matter whether you are a First Time Buyer or moving home, the step by step guide that follows will help ensure that your mortgage application runs smoothly.
Step 1 – Contact an independent mortgage adviser
Buying a home can be one of the most exciting experiences as well as one of the most daunting. With thousands of fixed, tracker, discount and variable rate mortgage products in the market, and so many different factors to take into consideration, how do you now which is the best mortgage product to meet your needs both now and in the future. Making a mistake can proof to be costly and so seeking professional independent mortgage advice is one of the most important steps you can take.
An independent mortgage adviser will complete a detailed fact find of your current circumstances and future expectations, and will analyse what mortgage products are available based on your income, age, credit history and attitude to risk. This analysis will highlight the most suitable products for which Key Facts illustrations will be provided.
Independent mortgage advice need not cost a fortune either. In most cases a broker fee will be good value for money, and will often be offset by the exclusive rates normally available via brokers. In a growing number of cases, Independent Mortgage Advice is provided free of charge with the mortgage adviser being paid for the introduction by the lender on completion of the mortgage.
Step 2 – Mortgage Promise or Initial Agreement in Principle
Once you have selected the best mortgage deal for your requirements, it is well worth applying for the lenders initial agreement in principle, also known as a mortgage promise. This is something that can be arranged on-line or over the phone by your mortgage adviser, with the lenders acceptance decision being available within minutes of submission. The initial agreement in principle will produce a certificate of confirmation that can be shown to prospective sellers to reassure them that mortgage finance is agreed, and that you are serious about buying.
A mortgage agreement in principle can always be arranged prior to knowing what property you will be purchasing or even before you have decided on the best type of mortgage product. The certificate will normally remain valid for 3 months, and speed up the process later when you make a formal application.
Applying for an initial mortgage agreement from several lenders is absolutely fine, but unless you expect the lender to have a problem in agreeing to the mortgage amount required, you are best advised to restrict the number of credit checks that you authorize to be carried out, as too many credit checks in a short period of time can adversely affect your eventual credit score.
What if your initial application is refused?
Agreements in principle are often declined and in most cases for one of the following reasons.
– An adverse credit history has been picked up when the lender has undertaken their credit checks and credit scoring.
– Lending criteria has rejected the application on the basis of insufficient time in employment or being too old.
When these circumstances arise your mortgage adviser is ideally placed to discuss matters with the lender, and where no resolution can be found, to advise you of other lenders and their products where the criteria does fit.
Step 3 – Complete the mortgage application
Once you have received notification that your mortgage is agreed in principle, the full application can then be submitted. To submit the full application, full details about your circumstances will be required by the lender. These details will include the details of the property, how much you want to borrow and where the rest of the money (your deposit) is coming from. It is important to be as open and honest as possible when completing this form as this will help to avoid delays with your application later on.
There are many benefits of using a mortgage advisers services when submitting the full mortgage application, with the main benefit being that the adviser will have years of experience of the individual lenders underwriting practices, and can advise you of the best way to package and submit the application.
Bear in mind that mortgage advisers frequently have exclusive mortgage rates available to them which can not be obtained direct from the lender.
As well as completing the application form, some documentation will be required to back up the details given. Exactly what, will depend on the type of mortgage applied for and the lender involved. In the case of a self certification mortgage, the documents required can be as little as proof of your identity and proof of residence.
Typically when borrowing 75% – 90% of the property value, the lender will require the following:
– Pay slips (often for the last three months)
– P60
– Copies of accounts for the last 2 or 3 years if self employed.
– Bank details for the Direct Debit mandate.
– Proof of identity such as a passport.
– Proof of address such as a recent utilities bill. or bank statement.
– Proof of the last 12 months mortgage payments or a tenancy reference if renting.
Where documentation is required in support of the application, any delay in providing it will delay the lender issuing the mortgage offer. Dealing with an independent mortgage adviser ensures that you will be informed about any documentary requirements quicker than if dealing direct with the lenders.
Step 4 – Instruction of the property valuation
Once the mortgage application is submitted and agreed, the lender will instruct a valuer to inspect the property. The cost of the valuation is born by you unless the mortgage you are applying for includes an incentive such as a free valuation fee.
The mortgage valuation allows the lender to confirm the value of the property and agree to the lending required. In addition to the basic valuation for mortgage purposes, you can ask the lender to carry out a more detailed survey of the property (which is advisable) such as a homebuyer’s report.
The homebuyer report is in a standard format and is designed specifically as an economical survey and an effective way to minimize risk. The homebuyer report ensures that any defects or problems that could effect the value of the property, are picked up highlighting any that are urgent. As part of the Homebuyer’s report an integrated valuation for mortgage purposes is included, unlike a structural survey.
Step 5 – Instruct a Solicitor
It’s the solicitor’s job to review the Home Information Pack (HIP) which includes an Energy Performance Certificate, an index of contents, a sale statement, evidence of title, searches and leasehold documents, when you are buying.As well as negotiating and exchanging contracts the solicitor’s job is also to receive funds from the lender for transfer to the sellers solicitor as well as updating the title deeds. Once contracts have been signed and returned the solicitor will agree a date for completion. On the day of completion, funds will be exchanged between solicitors at which point keys can be collected to your new home.
If using an independent mortgage adviser, check to see if a fixed legal fee package is available, as this can often save time and money, and can result in using a solicitor where the adviser has some leverage to make things happen quickly.

Credit utilization ratio – a significant factor in your credit score
Most consumers who keep a close eye on their credit score know exactly what a credit utilization ratio is; it’s the percentage of your total credit limits that you actually use.
A balance of $1000, with a $5000 total credit limit on all revolving accounts, equals a 20% credit utilization ratio.
A low credit utilization ratio is good for your credit score; it’s recommended to keep it under about 30% of your total credit limits, and less than that is even better.
Your credit score will suffer if you use too much of your available credit; thirty percent of your credit score is based on your credit utilization ratio. Maxed-out credit cards will wreak havoc on your credit score.
It’s important to be aware of how your credit utilization ratio affects your credit score at any given time, especially if you plan on applying for credit in the near future, such as a home mortgage or car loan, or even a credit card.
A better credit score saves you money in the form of better interest rates and more generous benefits from your lender or creditor.
Responsible credit card users’ credit score may not truly reflect their credit habits.
The funny thing about credit utilization is that it simply shows how much you use your credit cards. But it doesn’t really say anything about how well you can afford to pay your debts.
Credit cards are no longer used strictly for emergencies like they used to be, and using a credit card doesn’t mean that you don’t have the money in the bank.
Many use credit cards daily for the convenience of it; swiping a credit card is so much quicker than pulling out cash and waiting for change. In our fast-paced society, those few extra seconds can make a difference in our day.
And the rewards are another reason many responsible consumers choose to use their credit card for monthly bills and daily purchases, when they could just as easily use a debit card for the same convenience.
Smart credit card users know how to get free use of somebody else’s money every month, by using their credit card and then paying the full balance before finance charges are assessed.
But using a credit card for most purchases brings up your credit utilization ratio, especially if your credit limits aren’t much higher than the amount of credit you actually use each month.
For example, you may consistently put $2000 on your $3000 limit card every month. You never put more on your card than you can pay off each month, and you may not see the need to apply for additional credit cards or a credit limit increase because you believe you will never need more credit at your disposal.
This would seem like the habits of a smart, responsible borrower. But that kind of usage would put your credit utilization ratio at 66%, something that make creditors nervous and damages your credit score.
And keep in mind your credit utilization ratio is not a fixed number; it can change dramatically over the course of one month, depending on when you pay your bill and when the creditor reports your payment and balance to the credit bureau.
Paying your full balance each month would put you at a zero percent ratio immediately after the creditor receives the payment; that should be good for your credit score.
But what if your creditor reports your balance just before you make the full payment? Your credit score will suffer for it, no matter how good of a grip you have on your finances.
A borrower with a low credit utilization ratio may still be in over their head in debt.
A credit limit increase is normally considered to be a good thing. It shows that you’ve been good at handling your debt with on-time payments, and that the creditor trusts you enough to let you loose with more available credit.
It also brings your credit utilization ratio down, as long as you don’t increase your debt load. A lower credit utilization ratio means a higher credit score, and a higher credit score means that you’re financially in good shape, right? Well, not always.
The higher credit limits probably won’t present a problem for those who are careful about how they use credit. Having more credit available doesn’t mean you have to use it, and financially responsible consumers will control their spending, no matter what their credit limits are. These consumers can enjoy the privelege of a higher credit score, and the better financing deals that go with it.
But let’s just say we have someone who has managed their debts well in the past, and they have several credit cards with a total credit limit of $10,000. They carry a balance of $2000, and their monthly payments rarely exceed the amount of the interest charges and new purchases each month.
So the $2000 balance is pretty consistant from month to month. With a 20% credit utilization ratio and a good credit score, creditors may eventually decide to increase their total limits to $15,000.
Some consumers in this situtation will spend a little more than usual when they get their credit limit increase. With higher credit limits at their disposal, they can let their balances grow to $3000, while still maintaining a low 20% credit utilization ratio.
A 20% ratio may be great for a credit score, but $3000 is a lot of credit card debt to carry around if you can’t afford to pay it off every month, or at least within a few months. A low credit utilization ratio can give consumers the illusion of a manageable level of debt. In reality, the debt may be more than the consumer can afford to get ahead of within a reasonable amount of time.
The worst-case scenario is when a troubled borrower routinely requests credit limit increases in order to keep a good credit score, while maintaining their otherwise out-of-reach lifestyle. Credit limits keep increasing while the debt keeps growing, until the day the borrower realizes they’ve let their spending get out of hand.
It may eventually become difficult for them to even make the minimum payments on thousands of dollars worth of credit card debt. From there, their credit scores and financial health can be damaged pretty badly.
Be smart in handling your debt.
So, even though your credit score is important for you to get additional financing, it’s important to ensure that the dollar-amount of your debt remains at a manageable level.
Someone with a relatively low credit score may own more than they owe and have plenty of money in the bank, while someone with a higher score is barely scraping by and living off of their credit cards. A credit score has much to do with the financing that’s available to you, but it really has nothing to do with your overall financial picture.
A good credit score is still important. It’s what makes homeownership and buying a nice car possible. It’s what get you better deals on credit cards and lines of credit.
A good credit score will make it easier to attain the things we need and want, but having a good credit score, in itself, won’t improve your financial situation; it only means that it’s easier to borrow money.
Understand where your credit fits into your overall financial picture, and make decisions to improve your financial health, not just your credit score. With careful planning and responsible spending, someday, you may not ever have to borrow money again.
