The Year Ahead

If your birthday is on August 19 

Your birthday on the August 19 gives greater will-power and self-confidence to you. You must avoid being too critical and impatient. Socialising becomes the key to your progress this year. While networking commitments require you to be social, you must identify your priorities and professional commitments first.  Get involved in activities that are exciting and keep you relaxed. Improvement in finances is certain. Professional achievement and benefits are guaranteed. If you are a businessman, you will plan to start a new venture. Some of you will also get into the construction of a new home. It will be great if you will focus more on worldly stuff than spiritual or religious. It is a busy period with regard to your work and career.
