April 29 to May 5

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

The assembly of benefic planets in the friendly regions of your chart is a positive development this time. Whether you are buying, selling, renting, you will be having your cake and eating it too.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

A heartening family news is round the corner. The best advice for you at the moment is to opt for the top offer only. With stars so favourably disposed, there is nothing you cannot achieve.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Two pertinent considerations are hovering over your mind—self-interest on one side and ethics on the other. To be on the safe side and to avoid unpleasant remarks, you have to choose the middle path.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

Romantic Cancerians are liable to fall in love at the drop of a hat. From now on, they will be receiving strong signals that they are winning the game hands down. They should be more firm, decisive and strong-willed.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Aries and Scorpios are not only friends in need but they are friends indeed also. They love you from the core of their hearts. Capricorn and Aquarians, however, being not worth your company, should be shunned.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Your stars are compelling you to adopt an adventurous mood. Your focus on leftover issues will stand you in good stead. There is nothing lacking for a conscientious person like you.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Your family and friends may not be in a mood to hear what you have to say. They may even evade you when they see you coming. ‘Look, listen and learn’ should be your motto.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

A heartwarming period for travel and outdoor life. Even short trips to nearby places could cheer you up. You will come across new ideas, new people and even new situations. You could also learn a new skill.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Life shall continue to keep you happy and comfortable. This is one of those times when the planets reward the thrifty and punish the wasteful. So don’t take good fortune for granted.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

You will spend lavishly and upset your economy. With your hopes soaring, you could end up disillusioned and disappointed. You are not so lucky to spend someone else’s money.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Love, laughter and harmony will suffuse your life. Time is ripe to go in for a leisure or a merry-making pursuit. With varied outdoor plans afoot, you can enjoy the bounties of nature to your heart’s content.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

The incoming week stands for mixed trends. Some people around may hold you in high esteem while others may get annoyed over a trifle. Diplomacy being your forte, it can add to your Piscean fame.
