The Tribune...Horoscope

August 8 to August 14


	Aries [March 21 to April 20]			Taurus [ April 21 to May 20 ]
	Mars, the planet of energy, is encouraging you to prepare yourself for hectic activity. A flash of inspiration you receive now can help you to remodel and rearrange your affairs on a war footing.			A steep rise in routine expenditure may upset the apple cart. Helping a friend under a cloud may be a kind act but there is no point in transgressing the accepted limits.
	Gemini [ May 21 to June 21 ]			Cancer [ June 22 to July 22 ]
	An upswing in your earnings will keep your spirits high. You will remain ever-ready to try your luck and will win the game hands down.			Revival of an age-old partnership an interesting encounter with a dignitary and an ideal recreational agenda, are some heart-warming features of the current week. Life should gather more colour with each passing day.
	Leo [ July 23 to Aug 22 ]			Virgo [ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]
	You will have to put in more sweat and toil to make your presence felt among your seniors. The heavy work load that has been dazing you will vanish. There is no need to feel alarmed.			Your stars are waging a tough war to keep your finances on course. At work too, you are likely to be given a rough deal by those who have no locus-standi.
	Libra [Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]			Scorpio [Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]
	With Venus in the limelight, it is an ideal moment for being at home with the family. This is a time for spending large amounts of money on luxurious items to make your life more comfortable.			Group events promise to be more satisfying than one-to-one meetings. You will also discover opportunities for spreading goodwill, helping people worse off than you, and generally adopting a charitable outlook.
	Sagittarius [ Nov 23 to Dec 22]			Capricorn [Dec 23 to Jan 20]
	Your stars urge you to tread very carefully in all types of relationships. It is a week mostly dominated by rumours and gossip. Hence a lot of vigilance, wisdom and foresight is the need of the hour.			Saturn, your ruler, may bring some more surprises for you. You should try as hard as you can to finish your agenda. Resume purchases that you had to abandon previously.
	Aquarius [ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]			Pisces [Feb 20 to March 20 ]
	Your social stars seem fairly buoyant this week. Work may pose a little problem, but it should remain convenient on the whole. Some one, probably a close associate, may catch your fancy.			You might have to do some serious thinking to restrain escalation in your expenditure. You will have practically no occasion to heave a sigh of relief.
