• Guru (Jupiter): Jupiter is the most significant planet for auspicious functions. In 2010, Jupiter was transiting through Meena Rasi (Pisces) until May, and then moved into Mesha Rasi (Aries). This movement dictated the "Guru Peyarchi" predictions, influencing financial stability and marital alliances.
• Sani (Saturn): Saturn was transiting Kanya Rasi (Virgo). This placement is significant as it provided relief for those under the "Ashtama Sani" or "Kandaka Sani" phases compared to previous years.
• Rahu & Ketu: Rahu was in Dhanusu (Sagittarius) and Ketu in Mithuna (Gemini).
