Born on

June 4
A star-favoured period is just around the corner. It is in fact, an opportune time to fix your goals and achieve them. You will be in a mood to raise your financial fortunes. You could even hold more than one assignment at a time without much difficulty.

Love and laughter may cheer you during the first quarter. A delightful understanding with your lover is on the cards during the second. Be cautious while travelling during the third. Try to bring down the professional strain during the last one.

June 5
You are being urged to tread very carefully. Moon sighted by an inimical Saturn will compel you to adopt an adventurous outlook. It is essential to put down your impulsive tendencies with an iron hand. If you are in a joint venture or a part of a joint family, there will be no end to your worries.

Your stars are bound to cause difference of opinion among your close circles. Don’t feel demoralised if your social life proves a drain on your purse. Try to decrease professional strain to keep yourself healthy.

June 6
The planetary picture is slowly and steadily changing for the better. Even though what is currently on offer may not be satisfactory. It would be worth your while to give it try. Your stars are advising a you not to hang on to the past. Efforts to stretch yourself beyond a certain point is your weakness. It is time to be choosy and to concentrate on the one issue which is important.

The areas sure to stand you in good stead are education, legal matters, welfare of children and social interaction.

June 7
A dignified Mercury may encourage you to make your mark as a person of intellectual leanings. You will mean business and should be at a major turning point. You have seldom adopted such a favourable position.

Your income could increase during the first quarter. Your capacity to consolidate gains will increase during the second. Mixing business with pleasure could pose no problem during the third. Undue generosity on your part is, however, a weak point and it needs to be taken full care of during the last phase.

June 8
Excessive work and sky-rocketting prices are the two main irritants that you will have to put up with. A modest attempt on your part may not be sufficient for you to achieve your aim. Your strategy to handle funds needs to be streamlined. All work and no relief may wear you out and a paucity of funds may depress you.

You are also advised to put down your tendency to overspend and show off. Some fresh developments and aspirations shall however, become discernible from November onwards.

June 9
A combust Venus is out to immerse yourself in domestic activities. Taking too much interest in family matters may tire you. Time is, however, ripe when you should pack your bags and take off for a short break. Your feeling that all good things lie in the past is erroneous. There is plenty of scope still and the direction you take now can prove to be fruitful.

You can emerge wiser, stronger and much more confident after November. Legal matters could also be settled with a minimum of fuss. It is a good idea to be cautious but a wrong thing to be pessimistic.

June 10
A powerful combination of planets both good and bad is urging you to play your cards with the utmost care and vigilance. It you learn now to handle opposition effectively, it means half the battle is won. People close to you may cause trouble for you. If you follow the rules of the game strictly, the clouds of gloom and dismay shall disappear after some time.

If you put many irons in fire, you will be on the receiving end. If in service, extreme care is needed to handle secret information. The time is ripe to follow the path of care and wisdom.
