Born on

April 2
Many of you have put in a lot of effort into your professional life. The time has arrived when you can afford to put up your feet and relax.

The most important factor in your case is a need for more security and stability. It will be ideal if you adopt a more open, tolerant and flexible attitude towards the people you work with. It will pave the way for making your professional life a bed of roses.

April 3
Finance may continue to trouble you at every step. Money may flow like water and you will have no control over your impulsive bent of mind. It is also possible that you may involve yourself in a risky venture. Despite hardwork, there is very little hope of your coming out of a financial mess.

Your social life may prove a big burden. Work may involve a fair degree of grind but the gains will not be adequate. In matters of heart, only a slight improvement is possible.

April 4
A dignified Mars may change your mood from pessimist to optimist. More energy will give a new thrust to your professional life. Mixing business with pleasure can also pay rich dividends. The time is right for you to go in for any changes in your life.

A benefit you have been waiting for will start pouring during the first quarter. An upswing in your earnings will keep your spirits high during the second. A rewarding long travel may broaden your vision during the third. Social pressure may weigh on your mind more intensely during the last one.

April 5
According to the celestial indications available, there is so much going on behind the scenes that you may feel a little confused as to what other people expect of you. Even if you try to uncover the truth, there is no guarantee that you can come to any definite conclusions.

At work, at home, in social life and in love also, you should give-up what is outdated and behind the times.

April 6
An upbeat year is in the offing. A spell of love, laughter and merriment will dominate the scene. The revival of an age-old relationship, a rewarding encounter with a man in authority and an amorous recreational activity are some of the highlights of the current year.

Your social stars seem fairly bouyant during the first quarter. You will fight for the best and shall make no compromise during the second. New ideas will stir your imagination during the third. Journey at odd hours could, however, prove troublesome during the last one.

April 7
An exalted Venus in ascendancy may show a lot of promise. You should be on your way to make your journey towards prosperity a grand success. You can turn tables on those who got the better of you during the past.

You have seldom experienced such an excellent phase. Buying, selling, funding and investing may stand you in good stead. The contacts you develop now could prove a shot in arm later on. There is a lot to look forward to.

April 8
A vital threat to your finances is likely to tell upon your peace of mind. Stars responsible for your financial well-being in no mood to oblige you. You will face a paucity of funds and may have to give up or postpone some of your urgent requirements. Your impulse to show off could also prove detrimental to your financial health.

You may feel inclined to indulge into a quick money-earning device and may repent later on. The only way to avert trouble is to opt for austerity measures.
