August 15 to August 21

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Mars and Jupiter join hands for a pleasant week ahead. You will manage any kind of situation admirably. You will get the cooperation of your friends and relatives.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

With the benevolent Venus your main star blessing you, you can expect progress on all fronts. Time is right to resolve matters which have been so far lying unattended.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

You could find yourself becoming more confident and eager to express your ideas to others. Be careful not to upset or provoke those around you. Try to handle them with tact.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

Try to concentrate on exciting activities you could lay your hands upon. If in love, try calm and persuasive methods to win the heart of your love. You are likely to meet someone special on Monday.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

The Sun is encouraging you to take your own decisions. Have faith in yourself. Do not shirk responsibility and allow others to occupy the driving seat.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Your stars are pushing you to the extremes. The best thing to do is to adopt the middle ground. Do not try to take a risk financial or emotional, unless you are sure of victory.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Your stars advise you to pull up your socks and get on with your commitments and obligations. It will be sheer negligence on your part, if you remain placid.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Be yourself and do not try to change yourself to impress others. Negotiating or pulling on with a Libran could create problems. A Cancerian can be a trusted companion.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Jupiter, your dominant lord, may provoke you to speculate and hunt for grabbing quick money. Be careful before taking any kind of risk.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Adventurous stars are holding the key and you will demonstrate your hidden talent. At work, there is still a slight confusion. The stalemate could end by the week end.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

A sudden surge is likely in your expenditure but you will manage to keep your head above water. A modest effort on your part is not enough to get out of the mess.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

Your planetary formations, including those of the Jupiter, highlight that you are moving on the right track. Your grasp of the facts will be more genuine than that of the people you deal or work with.

Born on

August 15
Fun and merriment will continue to prevail throughout the year. The stars ruling you are in a jubilant mood. A new friend, probably a sincere, docile and a painstaking one should be on his way to join you. A happy news from a far-off place could bring a smile on your lips. As November gets underway, your dreams of a better life could be realised. If unattached and eligible, expect a heart-warming accord with your loved one which could even culminate into a wedlock. If already married, you can expect an addition to your family.

August 16
Your social stars are trucking along nicely. Your dull and listless life will be humming with activity. You may be developing your ability to get the better of other people but only at the cost of some delightful moments of your calm and cosy life.

You will get opportunity to socialise after December. Prospects of a new and rewarding alliance could get stronger during March-April. You will be making your life full of amusement and even closer to high ups from June onwards.

August 17
Good fortunes is your forte and you are heading towards a turning a point in your life. Your attitude to move with the times will be your positive point. If you are in service, there is a possibility of some senior position falling vacant which might prove as a stepping stone for your prosperity. Those trying to for country’s defence services could also realise their ambitions. They are, however, advised to keep the flow of communication unhindered.

August 18
Winds of change have set in. However, it will take sometime to prove the magical effect of this new change. The feeling that the lucky period is about to spring up any time in the near future will make you full of hope and cheer.
You will have a fun-filled first quarter. Pleasing a loved one will be your first priority during the second. A celebration may be on the cards during the third. Avoid journey at odd hours during the last one.

August 19
Jupiter’s proximity with malefic stars encourages you to confront reality. You will remain torn between two divergent views. You deserve full patronage from authorities. Your best strategy will be to offer incentives to your allies to keep them satisfied. You must tread softly during the first quarter. A lost document could be recovered during the second. If you are in search of a mate, a new face will sweep you off your feet during the second half.

August 20
Love and harmony are the hallmarks of the new year. Financial problems should become a thing of the past. You can look forward to a much smoother ride in the future. With the burden of work being at the minimum, there will be joy all around. It is better to curtail a few engagements to have more leisure during September-October.

The entertainer in you will be more active during December and January. You will come a step closer to your goal during February and March. You should, however, pay attention to your diet to keep yourself more fit during the last phase.

August 21
The Sun, Mars and Jupiter moving together ensure endless scope for enjoyment. Those venturing out for holidaying, especially during the early part of the year, are likely to be in for a lot of entertainment. Those born on this day will be lucky to have their cake and eat it too. Do not try to look for additional avenues during the first quarter. You will be good at persuading people during the second. You will be journeying to a far-off place during the third. Austerity may become the need of the hour during the last phase.
