Born on

Home and family matters remain on your mind for a long time. You will sort a few problems and also win the confidence of people close to you. At work, there are some hurdles. You will face some uncertain times so some care is necessary. You will seek help from those who are more experienced than you. This is no time to rest on your laurels.

This is a moment to walk on the path to excellence. The people you deal with require more careful handling. Don’t think they cannot be managed.

You will begin to feel that you have greater control over your world than ever before and you are no longer subject to the whims of fate. A new collaboration will be extremely fruitful, but you should be in command of all the facts. You should test the water before jumping into it.

You will entertain more actively during May-June. September-October are the best months to turn the tables on someone who has surpassed you. You will be saddled with greater responsibility during December. Avoid travelling at odd hours during the last part.

Your social stars are fairly buoyant this week. You can except an old friend to turn up out of the blue. Your social life will brim with love and laughter. You will specialise in the art of socialising and can communicate your deepest feelings even to those on a completely different wavelength.

Friends or associates who have not supported you in the past shall do so now. All that is needed on your part is a little more courtesy while extending gestures of goodwill.

With a combust Mercury at the centrestage, the costs of living is bound to increase much beyond your estimation. You can sort out the financial muddle you are in if you act with determination. Don’t think that the present setback will lead to a point of no return. It is most probably a temporary phase.

You will remain off-colour due to an abrupt rise in your expenditure. Try to live and enjoy life within your means and desist from spending extravagantly.

The period is upbeat for a majority of individuals who should be riding on a lucky wave. They may feel elated to see roses all the way. What is a lost game for others may prove to be a trump card for them.

There is a sense of hope and optimism in the air. How far you climb the ladder of prosperity is up to you. You hatered of lethargy and gossip will raise your stature even in the eyes of your worst critics.

An exalted Venus occupying the house of finance inclines you to derive more pleasure from safeguarding the interests of your loved ones than from looking for solutions for your personal problems. The spirit of selfless service will occupy you more than usual. You could win over your loved ones without too much effort.

Life remains full of mirth during the first quarter. A long- awaited celebration comes off during the second. Hospitality could cast you heavily during the third. Trusting strangers could, however, be a risky game during the end part.

One step forward but two backward! This is what your stars hint at. You are likely to spend beyond your capacity. It may wear you out. The jolt to your finances shall be so acute that you may feel alarmed. Domestic liabilities could also add fuel to the fire.

Those who praise you on your face and talk ill of you behind your back should be shown the door straightway. You should curb your tendency to overspend and show off so that you do not overstep your limits.
