The Tribune...Horoscope

December 12 to December 18


	Aries [March 21 to April 20]			Taurus [ April 21 to May 20 ]
	Less of leisure and a lot of work — this is what ails you during this week. Take a closer look at your engagement diary and see if there are a few that could be safely abandoned or postponed.			You are being urged to tread very carefully especially in financial matters. Your unshakable resolve to balance your budget may end in futility. Your anxiety to help someone under a cloud could also backfire.
	Gemini [ May 21 to June 21 ]			Cancer [ June 22 to July 22 ]
	Your impatience to streamline your professional output shall be exceptionally high this time. For a majority of Geminians, the doors of luck seem wide open. Wednesday and Friday are your key days to resolve financial bottlelenecks.			Your professional stars are at the peak. You will be putting new irons in the fire and signalling your commitment to a new way of doing things. If in love, only a generous gesture can win the game.
	Leo [ July 23 to Aug 22 ]			Virgo [ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]
	A period to be out and about more than usual. Those who have planned holidays during this week, should enjoy more. The more mobile you are, the more you will add to your Leonine fame.			Hurdles, delays and setbacks may keep you in a despondent mood. With pressures from people close to you, you will have to shell out your hard earned money. Stop being unfair to your health.
	Libra [Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]			Scorpio [Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]
	With Venus in the limelight, the emphasis will shift towards new modes of pleasure and recreation. Artistic or sporting Librans will win laurels. With less discomfort, there will be joy all around.			Your stars are waging a tough war to keep your finances on safe ground. You should in all earnestness, curb your impulsiveness with an iron hand. Protect yourself from being used by fair-weather friends for their selfish designs.
	Sagittarius [ Nov 23 to Dec 22]			Capricorn [Dec 23 to Jan 20]
	The emphasis lies on entertainment and celebrations. This is an ideal moment to look to the needs of your domestic life. Saturday and Sunday are the finest days to invite friends and enjoy their sweet company.			You may realise that your rivals are doing all the running and you are being left behind. At work also, the situation may force you to get on with your colleagues, at a heavy cost.
	Aquarius [ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]			Pisces [Feb 20 to March 20 ]
	Prospects of a new and solid alliance may grow stronger. You could safely set your mind on fresh ideas and amorous ambitions, which have remained unexplored so far. Unbridled sentimentality could, however, end in fiasco.			Jupiter, your lucky planet is fast coming to your aid. You have the skill and knack to manage people and get work out of them. You could dodge any obstacle that comes your way.

Born on

December 12
The new year promises an excellent beginning. It is mostly upto you to keep the momentum of progress on the go and reap reasonably attractive returns. You are, no doubt, endowed with an acute sense of drive and determination but still you should act with due care and caution and strike only when the iron is hot.

The key time to prove your mettle may start from mid-January. You will be riding high on the wings of energy and enthusiasm. Excessive work could, however, cause you some discomfort during June-July, but the overall position will remain quite satisfactory.

December 13
Moon, in direct confronation with Saturn, reveals that a high spending phase is about to trap you. Your strong endeavour to balance your finances is likely to tumble down. Despite making strenuous efforts, there will be no increase in your income to meet the current liabilities.

Should you choose to speculate or involve yourself in a buying spree, chances of safe play are quite remote. You will face a dilemma and may fail to arrive at a right decision. Your comparatively better period to operate is between March and June and there are chances you may mend a few shortfalls.

December 14
Expect plenty of fun and excitement during the coming year. Both your romantic and social stars are in a peak form. If you are in service, your stars are likely to provide full support, needed for your elevation to the next step.

A period of love, laughter and joy is coming your way during the first quarter. Don’t let yourself be swayed away by the flattery of sycophants during the second. You will be more interested in saving than spending during the third. Last phase is, however, not congenial for health and general fitness.

December 15
It is a trying period for career-minded youngmen. Your patience could be put to the test as the people you depend upon are not likely to treat you with generosity and goodwill. You may also link yourself with some people who are incapable of lending any positive support.

Your earning capacity could be hit due to sky-high expenditure. The fast changing scenario at work may leave you confused. You will be desperate for a change for the better which is not likely to materialise so easily. A well thought out strategy could, however, bring some relief to you from September onwards.

December 16
There is a sense of hope and optimism in the air and a belief that a good time is about to come. Your most important assets are your friends so stay close to them and shun the company of time-wasters and gossip-mongers.

A new dawn is about to break during the first quarter. The key time to conduct yourself with greater alertness and efficiency will be during the second quarter. Your ability to consolidate your gains shall be good during the third. Despite pressure from people close to you, you will be able to manage the show with greater zest and zeal.

December 17
The new year heralds greater mobility in your day-to-day activities. Perseverance and steadfastness on your part may bring greater charm and credibility to your personality. Your social, romantic and cultural life will also be taking a turn for the better. All that is needed is a little shift in your attitude which may prompt you to behave a little more courteously.

Your insistence on having your own way will be hailed during the first quarter. Your ability to consolidate gains will be amazing during the second. Your attention will, however, be arrested by money during the third. Keep your ambitious plans under wraps during the last one.

December 18
The new year, no doubt, spells success but with a much greater sweat and toil. You have committed yourself to such challenging propositions that chances of resting on your oars have faded away. Success will, however, depend on your ability to distinguish facts from fantasy and if it is done, the change for the better will be at your doorstep.

There is no fun in aiming at something which is beyond your reach. The sale-purchase programme if pursued in a hot haste, could also cause bewilderment. Your favours for a friend will, however, be reciprocated with equal warmth and intensity.
