Hi,
You are in the midst of Lagna Lord Mars/Kuja Maha-Dasha. He is placed in his Neecha-Sthana or sign of debilitation… and more importantly placed close to deep Gandanta degrees. He has activated Sun/Ravi, Jupiter/Guru-dev (who is Vakra or Retrograde), Moon/Chandra, Ketu and Antara lord Mercury/Budha. Of these, Ketu and Mercury/Budha are not really benefic and does not seem to be supportive of success in the said time-period. Further, upcoming transit of Saturn/Shani-dev (across the 8th house from natal placement of Moon/Chandra or Ashtama-Chandra) is not really going to be helpful.
Given the situation, it would make sense for you to double-up, put in extra effort, be more focused and try your best. On the sidelines, it might not be a bad idea to consider strengthening Mars/Kuja and propitiating Ketu by way of offering special prayers on a regular/daily basis to lord Ganesha, with unwavering faith, bhakti/devotion and a strong sankalpa.
Take care…
