Career-minded Taureans are in a lucky phase. Lady Luck shall continue to shower her choicest blessings on them. Friday and Saturday may see them taking good decisions.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Close companions appear to be out of sorts. You have no choice but to allow others to take the lead. If you do put yourself second, you may stand to a gain.

This is a good time for artistic Cancerians. They will sharpen their wits and quicken their pace. With less sweat and toil, they will get the rewards they have been waiting for.

A stroke of luck is on the way. You will get praise even from unexpected quarters. The reality is that you have a charm of your own and those who ignore you may regret it.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

It is a boom time for business-oriented Virgoans. They will accumulate more gains than they expect. You are about to pick up a rewarding bargain or make an ideal investment.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

An alarming rise in your daily expenditure could cripple your finances. Hurdles, delays and setbacks may dampen your mood. Your stars advise you to tread a path of moderation.

Scorpio

You will face a tough time fighting your mounting expenditure. Your earning capacity may fizzle out because of spiralling costs. Be careful about how much you spend.

Your financial stars are in a pleasant mood. With financial fortunes in the limelight, you will become an object of envy. You will perform amazing feats this week.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

The incoming week is not good for any generosity. It is an ill-starred period for lending, borrowing, shopping and indulging in other extravagant activities. Unwanted guests could be another headache.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

This is an action-oriented week. Your appreciation for higher values will stop you from doing anything below your dignity. You can construe it as a period of confidence-building.
