The year ahead

MADAN GUPTA SPATU

If your birthday is December 23………

Don't count too much on Lady Luck this year. Prudence is important. Those born after 1980 must avoid being malicious or arrogant. Put a little romance into your life this year.

Black colour seems inimical to you, so do not wear it. You will find yourself low on energy, so don't overload yourself with additional work. Take some rest and reschedule

your appointments. Emotional issues, problems and needs can bog you down early in January. You will be in touch with a government agency and seek some kind of clearance.

Positive colours: Dark-green, Lemon.

Select days: Sunday, Wednesday.

Favourable numbers: 1, 5, 6.

Gems recommended: Emerald, Ruby.

Charity on birthday: Donate blankets to the needy.
