The Tribune...Horoscope

January 31 To February 6


	Aries [ March 21 to April 20]			Taurus [ April 21 to May 20 ]
	Every stroke of your effort earns profits. Negotiations concerning a financial deal should be kept a closely-guarded secret. Surplus money must be invested thoughtfully.			A dignified full Moon promises the dawn of a new era. A senior dignitary will give you a push in the right direction — and you will come a step closer to a cherished goal.
	Gemini [ May 21 to June 21 ]			Cancer [ June 22 to July 22]
	The rough-and tumble, may continue to bother you for sometime more. Perhaps you have taken more responsibility upon yourself than you are in a position to cope with.			The happy tidings you have been anxiously awaiting for could pour in any moment. With your assertiveness in top form, you could persuade a difficult person to sign on the dotted line. Hence, there should be no worry.
	Leo [July 23 to Aug 22 ]			Virgo [ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]
	There is endless scope for pleasure and enjoyment. You will lay emphasis on the quality of life, rather than accumulating extra money. You are in for something big that only time will reveal.			Your virtue won’t be its own reward and you may reap personal benefits in no mean measure. Every endeavour that you undertake, will be worth the bother that you are willing to undertake.
	Libra [ Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]			Scorpio [ Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]
	The path leading towards your goal-post shall be arduous. Some of you may feel suffocated due to the inconsiderate ways of your associates. You had never thought that you could be obstructed so easily.			It is a matter of losing in one field and gaining in another during the current week. There is no safe option that you can bank upon. The situation may demand the need to constantly badger.
	Sagittarius [ Nov 23 to Dec 22 ]			Capricorn [ Dec 23 to Jan 20 ]
	A brisk upswing in your day-to-day spending may hit your economy with a vengeance. Much depends on your skill to arrest the lopsided trend. The entertainer in you should exercise some restraint.			Your insistence on wanting your own way could prove a big hurdle. There is a fair degree of confusion at work. It would be surprising if you do not make a few tiny mistakes consciously or otherwise.
	Aquarius [ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]			Pisces [ Feb 20 to March 20 ]
	You have a lot to accomplish this week. Your health may not allow you to burn midnight oil and sought it out. It is better to pick and choose. If you still insist of working at the cost of your health, it can cause suffering.			A week of hope and cheer. Someone who you have not been on good terms with, may pick up the threads again. There is no occasion to feel isolated now. You must seize the initiative to activate your social life.

Born on...

JANUARY 31
Those who stir out for holidaying at this time are likely to derive maximum pleasure. Celebrations, entertainments and get-togethers are in the offing. Although your expenditure will grow, you will have no regrets.

A little extra self-control will stand you in good stead. Events towards the end of April will usher in the mood of prosperity and a feeling of growth. It is better to curtail a few engagements to have a little rest during August and September, which are supposed to be hectic months. Events after November will left you up emotionally.

FEBRUARY 1
With a centrally-placed, dignified Moon, it has become important for you to be positive, and productive. You will be secretive about your ideas, nostalgic in your feelings and ambitious about the growth of your funds. All in all, this is a time for steady professional progress.

You are normally too self-effacing. You must put aside all vague fears, suspicions and doubts that people will laugh at you to one side and avoid people who gossip or wasting time. You will not, however, allow undeserving people to intrude and routine chores to bother you after June, 1999.

FEBRUARY 2
Mars by boosting your energy level, will dominate the incoming year. There is nothing you cannot achieve if you set your mind to it. Don’t feel small, if you are accused only of serving your own interests. The best policy is to fix your eye on the cake, have it and eat it.

Because your head and your heart are in unison, you will be successful. Despite being in a desperate hurry, you will weigh pros and cons before launching your plans to avoid any risk. Your professional statesmanship should be strong enough to subdue any mishap that comes your way.

FEBRUARY 3
Your strong urge to play havoc with your hard-earned money needs to be put down with an iron hand. The most disappointing factor may be the escalation of cost of living, but you must realise the folly of being indiscreet. Running after false hopes may lead you nowhere.

You will find domestic matters posing one problem after the other. If you speculate or strike a bargain, you will be at the receiving end. Less income and more expenditure will become the major cause of your anxiety. The solution may be in your hands but it will take time to mend your ways to help your economy to stabilise.

FEBRUARY 4
Dignified Jupiter at the helm of affairs promises luck on almost all fronts. The house of income is well set and you have no reason to grumble about paucity of funds. It shows that you will be in a more down-to-earth mood to put your economy on sound lines.

There should be no undue haste to crave for more work to create a new source to supplement your income or to diversify for more earnings. You are at your best while focusing on one thing at a time. Since you have no fascination for the lighter side of life, it is time to give it due attention. With less burden and minimum headache, there will be joy all around.

FEBRUARY 5
You have not experienced such a delightful period as the present one. The incoming year, although a hectic one, shall see you prospering. The period is ripe for enabling you live upto your expectations.

It is the most opportune time to look for a new opening to give you a financial boost. The best period for making a headway is between mid-June and mid-September. Your ability to fall in line with the new environment will be applauded during November-December. You should, however, smarten up your diet to keep fit during the last quarter.

FEBRUARY 6
All sectors of your horoscope connected with money matters do not show any promise. Many of you, despite straining every nerve, may fail to reverse the declining trend. You have perhaps no choice than to go out of the way to serve your friends and kinsmen. Since you are introverted you shall face the music as a mute spectator.

Months of June-July are tricky and unstable. Be prepared to face a minor shock during August-September. Try to observe maximum precautions while going on a journey during November-December. You can, however, expect some relief during the last quarter.
