January 28 to February 3

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

The beginning of the week will give you ample leisure to take rest. You should remain careful not to raise any controversy and spoil your peace of mind.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Taureans should now be ready to update their social life. They will use their time to pursue new interests and team up with like-minded people.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Be more alert with regard to your financial dealings. You may even decide to break with an old associate over money matters. Learn to forgive and forget.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

Besides being incredibly busy, you have everything to gain due to your being open and upfront. Optimism and faith in the future are your strong points and you must succeed in what you take up.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

March-born Leos can march ahead and pursue their plans with unshakable determination. The April-born, however, are advised to call a halt to an ambitious adventure they may have been thinking of. Wait and watch should be their watchword.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Geminians are your best assets. Cancerians, however, are quite contrary to them. If you trust them or rely on them, you are certainly in for bad times.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

You are in an ambitious mood but this should not make you complacent. You would want to do good to others also. Your concern especially for you dear and near ones could be touching.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Your financial aspirations will come to the fore. You will work hard to put your economy on a sound footing. The signs are that you are unstoppable now.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

You will opt for more challenges. If interested in the sale-purchase of stocks, investing and even speculation, you can expect a hefty gain. Thursday is a key day for making a profit.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

There could be a sharp spurt in your day-to-day spending. It is not certain whether you really want to curtail your expenditure. Let us hope you are ready to rise to the occasion.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Business-oriented Aquarians are due for a hefty gain this week. People in authority will be too glad to help them and give them the support they deserve. Tuesday and Friday are their special days for seeking favours.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

You are still very much in command of the situation though you may shirk responsibility and allow fate to step in. Bear in mind that complacency is a vice and caution a virtue.

Born on

January 28

There could be some worry about your health. Regulate your diet and observe other precautions to mitigate health hazards. There is a need to revive the lighter side of life. All work and no enjoyment is likely to wear you out. You will, however, remain less involved in do-it-yourself jobs after March.

January 29

The revival of an old link will be a step in the right direction. You will be able to create goodwill among people and remain in command of your life from now on. You may be a bit tied at home during February-March. Your faith in team work will be strengthened during June-July. You will live up to your image during the rest of the New Year.

January 30

Your professional life calls for more sweat and toil. The pace of your work is a bit lopsided the moment and needs to be corrected. You are likely to shirk work or treat your obligations casually. Less labour and high returns is perhaps a thing of the past. You must try to show good results. Make the best use of your caliber and keep your morale high.

January 31

You can expect a dramatic change for the better careerwise, and even on the financial level. Lady Luck will be too glad to greet you with a smile. Developments that do not show promise initially should turn out to be a blessing in disguise. You will be expecting only the best. Once you are active, you will do well.

February 1

It is obvious that you will remain financially tight for most of the time. Less income and more expenditure will be the main cause of your anxiety. Cash will flow but will have to be shelled out on one count or the other. There will be an acute paucity of funds for a sufficiently long period. You may fail to meet commitments during July-August. You will, however, tide over the financial crisis during the last phase.

February 2

You are in for a financial stable period. You could take up plans that had to be abandoned due to paucity of funds. Your energy and drive are bound to remain in full gear. You will be at your charming best during the first quarter. Be prepared for a hectic phase during the second. A well-organised trip, a holiday and a delightful get-together are imminent during the third. Travel stars will be more in action during the last phase.

February 3

A long drawn out confrontation, which has been casting a shadow of gloom, is likely to be be settled. Although it is a year of mixed trends, it is not a negative one. The plus points far exceed the minuses. Contrary to your apprehensions, you will find yourself in a fairly exhilarating mood. You can turn down the unreasonable demands of those around you without hesitation.
