Hi,
You are currently in the midst of Mercury/Budha Maha-Dasha. He rules over the (3rd &) 12th house of Vyaya/Losses and is not really a benefic for the birth-chart (with Ascendent or Udaya Lagna placed in the Zodiac sign of Cancer or Karkataka Rashi).
To make matters worse, Maha-Dasha lord Mercury/Budha is placed in the 7th house of Kalathra-Sthana, where he is neither happy nor comfortable. Considering the situation, I’m sure you’ll understand if I’ll be skeptical of your chances in the immediate near/short term. So, it would be help for you to have moderate/modest expectations.
Take care…
