Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

With Mars laying emphasis on your sign, nobody will be able to put you down. What is difficult for others may be easy for you.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

A Libran Venus is a great asset. Time to boost your prospects. If moving to a new house or a domestic improvement is mooted, you can see it through.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

With the combust Mercury, you cannot do as much as you want to. Delegate where necessary and abandon a couple of odd jobs.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

It is not so important what others do but how you react. Everything hinges on the way you handle a demanding situation. Be careful in how you respond.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

You need to subdue your leonine ego. Your decisions should be based on facts. This will enhance your social and professional life.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Your link up with a Taurean or Libran is no less than winning an award while Cancerians and Pisceans will oppose you tooth and nail.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

With Venus occupying her own sign, you should be in your element. Plan a treat for near ones. You can expect fun and merriment coming your way.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Pride can be your biggest stumbling block. Mars, your sign star, inclines you to be flexible. Those in authority will be impressed by you.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

The Saturday-born will follow their heart. The Thursday-born will be successful in their love life. A pleasant surprise awaits them.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Regard development as highly favourable because it is no ordinary period. The probable defeats could be turned into stunning victories.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Inadequate funds will make you scratch your head but you will be even more surprised when money suddenly pours.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

For all God-fearing Pisceans, it is a never to be repeated opportunity. With the grand buck up at their disposal, nothing is insurmountable for them.

Born on

December 23

With a splendid planetary picture, you can be satisfied with the developments. You are in a business-like mood, one which is rather auspicious for holding discussions, exploring new ideas and proposing practical solutions. You will get a chance to accumulate experience and establish your reputation as a person with qualities of head and heart. You will be able to bring a sense of spontaneity and individuality to your affairs.

December 24

There is a fabulous full moon holding the sway. As such the year under review promises to be a special one. Much of what is in store for you is in conformity with your hopes and aspirations. A sense of optimism will see you through the rough patches. Without undergoing any hard and fast sweat and toil. You will have yourself to blame if you do not make hay while the sun shines. Your love life should cruise along smoothly. You need to take the initiative as your partner will welcome it.

December 25

Mars, in proximity with the Geminian Moon, foretells a trying period for most of you. Your resolve to help someone in trouble could be considered just an eye wash. It is futile to help those who do not deserve any favour. Whatever you do to please others will be misunderstood. Trivial matters could be blown out of proportion. You are advised to take a cautious approach while dealing with other people. Your approach could be counter-productive.

December 26

The year will lend charm and dignity to your life. It is a lucky sign that Mercury, ruling your destiny at the moment is on ascendancy and is vitally linked with your well being. It is no time to sit indoors. Get routine matters properly organised so that you can spare time for things that really matter. Streamlining your agenda should be your first and foremost task.

December 27

The emphasis will be on leisure and pleasure. Love and laughter will attract you. Your silver tongue could be one of your strongest assets. This is a fortunate year. There is nothing you will not be able to achieve. Anything less than the very best will have no place in your scheme of things. Whether lending, borrowing, buying or selling, you will make profits. You must, however, keep your friends in good humour and see that they do not desert you, come what may.

December 28

A fairly balanced year. You will act wisely to reap full benefits of the opportunities coming your way. You have a lot to do so it will be ideal if you don’t push yourself too hard and tire yourself. Instead of wasting time on trivial matters, it should be preserved to carry out more important obligations. However, a flexible attitude to move with the times is your plus point, which in all probability is likely to stand you in good stead.

December 29

With an increase in your mobility and an acute rush of work, there is ample need to pay little more attention to your health and general fitness. You need to be careful about your health and diet. You are also advised to keep a strict watch on your funds. If you plan to speculate, lend money or enter any other risky venture, you may face losses and repent inconsequence thereof.
