July 8 to July 14

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Your zest and zeal will work wonders. You will tighten your purse strings and keep your feet firmly on the ground. You may even ignore the demands of your near and dear ones to boost your economy.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Your financial stars still look fickle and transitory. You should, however, be on your guard to see that your hard-earned funds are not frittered away on useless pursuits.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Stay-at-home activities and family requirements may attract you more than usual. You will have ample scope to put your feet up and relax. Some of you could even embark on a spiritual quest.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

You will make a move on one pretext or the other. You will be deriving pleasure in sightseeing, meeting old friends and combining work with pleasure.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Your expenditure could shoot up because of your uninterrupted craze to catch up with luxuries. Keep in mind that all that glitters is not gold. Hence a double check on everything you opt for is a must.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

You will suppress your burning desire to lead a life of luxury and glamour. The incoming week ensures peace and a spell of tranquility. Wednesday is your most enterprising day.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Venus is largely responsible for your uninterrupted success in life. Try to see the silver lining in every cloud that hovers around.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

This is the best occasion to fulfil the promise made to a loved one. It is also the right moment to pay back a debt of gratitude. With your Scorpionic skills mounting, you cannot cold-shoulder the responsibility.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

You are entering a fascinating new cycle—the one that is not going to fade away soon. A windfall in terms of cash could be on the way but you are not going to dole out money on fripperies.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

You are likely to be taken in by unrealistic promises made by unworthy friends. Your other misapprehension is that you will harbour fantasies and discard reality. You could even bail out someone, who finds faults with you.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

You are at a key point in the cycle of opportunity, growth and good luck. Have plenty of confidence that the gains that accrue now will continue to stand by you for a record period of time.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

Whatever you think, propose and undertake is supposed to be risk-prone. If you ignore the advice of an elderly inmate, you may have to cut a sorry figure. You should also not assume that you are faultless.

Born on

July 8
For all those who are in pursuit of a good career, they may get a good opportunity. Destiny should be on their side and a dramatic change for the better seems just at hand. You will listen to the words of wisdom to act on them. You will be well equipped to face a tough competition. You will conduct yourself with utmost brilliance during the third quarter.

July 9
This is a year of prosperity, joy and well-being. Your social horizons will expand and you will brim with hope and cheer. A financial breakthrough could be within your sight during November-December. As March gets underway, there are chances of your taking a bold stand. A rewarding journey to a place of your choice will enliven you during April.

July 10
Although your hopes are high but you could face disappointment. You are perhaps unaware of the twists and turns that await you. An associate you have always tried to keep in good humour could change his behaviour, all of a sudden. More work and no relaxation may tire you. If some adventurous activity is on your mind, it is better to keep it pending as nothing worthwhile will come out of it.

July 11
It is a fortunate period for business-oriented people. They could accept any challenge that comes their way. A visit to a new country, a new affair, purchase of a new property, a new vehicle are some of the heartening news of the incoming year. Your stars are compelling you to lead an ostentatious life. The world you have seen until now will look small, narrow and colourless.

July 12
With your social horizons expanding, you will be brimming with joy. At work also, your influence and authority will receive a boost. Your social life will remain in full bloom during the first quarter. There will be love, laughter and happiness during the second. You will remain extra cautious while spending during the third. You should, however, keep your romantic aspirations under wraps during the last one.

July 13
The period is quite ripe for a major move. The people around you will repose full confidence in you. It is a sign of your success. You will be celebrating one victory after another. Your capacity to spend is likely to increase during the first quarter. You will make more friends during the second. No one will dare to outsmart you during the third. Avoid doing anything beyond your limits during the last one.

July 14
Your finances may receive a strong jolt, if you don’t curb your expenditure. For a major part of the year, you will pass through a rocky patch. The help and cooperation of friends and kinsmen that you have been banking upon shall cease to come forth. Children may become a source of discomfort. Keep your thoughts strictly balanced. The more agile you are, the better you will be health-wise.
