The Tribune...Horoscope

August 22 to August 28


	Aries [March 21 to April 20]			Taurus [ April 21 to May 20 ]
	Listen with rapt attention to everything that people around you say, even if they are critical to the core. Rest assured, their advice will pay off.			A period of hope and cheer. You may be celebrating one achievement and preparing for the next one. You will be so happy that you will like to sit back and relax.
	Gemini [ May 21 to June 21 ]			Cancer [ June 22 to July 22 ]
	A period of hectic activity. You will remain very busy with your home and family. You should, however, put your cares to one side and have a little fun also.			The stress and mistrust about an important relationship are not likely to be put to rest soon. You should, however, refrain from condemning other people’s views and opinions.
	Leo [ July 23 to Aug 22 ]			Virgo [ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]
	Shopping trips may weigh on your mind more often. It will, however, be ideal if you shop with your mind alert and eyes open. Your priority should be necessities rather than luxuries.			You will be out and about more than usual during this week. This is certainly an expensive phase but you will be happy for having spent on a good cause. You will, however, avoid spending on personal comfort.
	Libra [Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]			Scorpio [Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]
	Venus, may accelerate your urge to spend. Although you may try hard to arrest the downtrend but how far you are successful is doubtful.			Excessive work load and no relaxation is what your stars indicate at the moment. A minor misunderstanding or a doubt at the home front could keep you upset and dismayed.
	Sagittarius [ Nov 23 to Dec 22]			Capricorn [Dec 23 to Jan 20]
	The emphasis is on entertainment and family get-togethers. This week will bring colour to your emotional life. Sunday and Saturday are good days for enjoying life to your heart’s content.			With the dose of sweat and toil on the increase, there is a dire need to recharge your batteries. If you can manage a vacation for a few days, it will add to your health and general fitness.
	Aquarius [ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]			Pisces [Feb 20 to March 20 ]
	The benefic stars in your horoscope have stolen a march over the malefic ones. Nobody will be able to push you into second place. You can expect others to toe your line.			Emotional turbulence, if any, should be on its way out. Your finances may, however, pose problems. Spending plans need to be reassessed at the earliest.

Born on

August 22
A dignified sun sighted by Jupiter is in a powerful position. It is bound to turn the wheel of fortune in your favour. You will be ready to fight to all those who are determined to create hurdles in your way. Friends will have a soft corner for you. They will be happy to offer help, cooperation and support.

If you intend to stand for elections, success is a foregone conclusion. There will be no dearth of love, laughter and merry-making. You will command respect in everything you opt for.

August 23
Moon, your lucky star is all out to help you. Your social romantic and cultural life will take a turn for the better and increase your popularity among friends and associates. If you are taking a test or appearing for an interview you are likely to do well. If already working, you will add to your efficiency and win the confidence of those who are in a position to improve your prospects.

Your life will be full of mirth. In case of any differences with your colleagues you must strock to your guns and prove your point.

August 24
One step forward and two backward — this is what your star-pattern hints at. The demoralising trend in your financial fortune will continue to trouble you for a long time. The persons you have pinned your hopes on may turn their backs on you. Fantasy will attract you more than reality.

There will be no escape from rising costs during the first quarter. Betting on the wrong horse may bring discredit during the second. Don’t go in for quick-money-making schemes during the third. You will, however, manage to come out of a crisis during the last one.

August 25
There is a sense of hope and optimism in the air. With the stars favouring you, you are fully justified in dreaming of a much better life. If you roll up your sleeves and work hard you are sure to make your dreams come true. Your most important assets are your links. So try to stay close to people who have a soft corner for you.

Happy news is on the way from a loved one who is far away. In the matters of heart, you can only expect a slight improvement. Don’t pressurise your loved one.

August 26
A retrograde Jupiter moving at a snail’s pace proclaims that a phase of steep expenditure is about to set in. Your efforts to keep your finances in good shape are not likely to yield any fruit. Despite hardwork there is little hope that you can recover from a financial mess.

Your social life shall become a burden on your purse during the first quarter. You will remain in two minds during the second. Be prepared for unexpected events at home during the third. A gesture of goodwill extended by a friend will help you to regain your composure during the last one.

August 27
A marked increase in your personal achievements, a consistent boost in your influence and authority and the dawn of wisdom to keep you alert and wide awake are some of the features of the incoming year. This, in fact, is the most auspicious time to widen the sphere of your activity. The only snag is that there will be little scope for rest and relaxation.

You are ready to turn the tide in your favour. There is no reason to be shy and self-effacing. You will do wonders by rising and leading from the front. This is no time to stay back and lose a golden opportunity.

August 28
Financial constraints tend to keep you in a tight corner. Money will flow like water and you will have no control over your impulsive bent of mind. It is also probable that you may undertake a risky venture to become rich overnight. However, a strict watch over your funds is necessary.

Work may involve a fair degree of grind but the gains may be nominal. There is hardly any scope to catch the bull by the horns. Hence, there will be delays in what you aim at.
