February 4 to February 10

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

There will be much socialising. You will go out with friends. You could even go alone on a trip. Combine work with leisure and pleasure.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Give yourself more time for socialising and meeting new faces. Enlarge your circle of friends. You are expected to perform well this week.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

It is no time to back fair-weather friends and face their unkind remarks. Let life take its own sweet course and stay positive.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

With moon losing its shine each passing day, you will be at the receiving end. You should refrain from running after easy money.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Friends and lovers are in no mood to give you a hearing. You may feel too dazed to handle reality or face a new situation.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Think twice before forming any alliance with Cancerians and Pisceans. Taureans and Librans could, however, be trusted.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

You are poised to take big strides in your professional life. But guard yourself against laying yourself open to ridicule.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

You will feel more optimistic than usual. You may think of a novel way of increasing your income. Concentrate on your work.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Any uncertainty about your limping finances shall go away. Listen carefully to your well-wishers. Maintain a hold on your emotions.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Your wisdom and experience will enable you to exercise control over a situation that went out of control in the recent past.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Something new is on the anvil. Your long-term goals may become easier to achieve. An extravagant outing will bring joy.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

The pressure on your finances will finally ease. Chances of profit through bargains, stocks look bright. Thursday is your lucky day.

Born on

February 4

Virgoan moon, with a fast moving Sun, will make you turn a new leaf. Your wisdom will help you check your prejudices and make you do everything judiciously. The auspicious period to spread your wings will start from June. You can pose a threat to all those who will dare to confront you from October onwards. "Watch before you speed" should be your watchword in the last phase.

February 5

Your financial problems will get over. You will receive credit for your good deeds. With a little effort, you will be able to get on with people you have had differences with. Improvement on the home front will dominate the first quarter, you will mend fences with opponents in the second, and optimism will be your trump card in the third. A health problem could arise in the last one.

February 6

Modest efforts on your part will not be enough to get you what you want. Check your facts before you accuse anybody during June-July. The inability to honour a commitment may create some conflict during September-October. A welcome family occasion will be on the cards in December. Avoid doing anything important during the last phase.

February 7

The urge to clear the backlog will be compelling. There will be no occasion to relax. Your aspirations will centre on doing something enterprising. The time is ripe to deal with challenging propositions. You will not be taken for a ride by anyone. If some adventurous activity is on your mind, keep it pending for some more time.

February 8

Take advantage of the current opportunities even if you are not sure of your emergence as a great winner in the race for excellence. The period for showing your best performance is between June and August. You will be journeying to a far-off place in October. Adopt a forget-and-forgive policy in November-December. Be realistic during the end part.

February 9

Expenditure on the domestic front will be more than expected. Ignore quick money-making ways and go in for tried and tested methods. The policy of putting all the eggs in one basket may hamper your budget. You are advised to observe austerity measures to avoid a financial crisis from July onwards.

February 10

The year shall bring much love, laughter and harmony. You will implement whatever requires to be done with efficiency and distinction. You will enjoy unbridled freedom in your work. You will realise the worth of hard work. Remove the thought that others will pull you down easily. Luck is on your side. Make hay while the sun shines.
