Born on

An auspicious year. Your wisdom will subdue your doubts. Although you have faith in simple living and high thinking, a firm belief in your conscience and accept meekly what your elders say, yet a loved one who may be close to your heart could tempt you towards a luxurious lifestyle. Your will-power to assert and to stick to your guns may cut no ice. The sooner you realise that you don’t lack wisdom, the better it is. You should have faith in yourself. Try to lead people instead of being led.

A declining Moon may prompt you to opt for a risky venture. Anything that is approved in haste, without ascertaining the pros and cons involved, can prove a losing game. If interested in the sale-purchase of stocks, there is hardly any scope to improve your financial fortunes through this pursuit.

Don’t be in a hurry to supplement your income. You are at your best if you focus on one thing at a time. It will come as a pleasant surprise, if you stick to this golden rule in letter and spirit.

There are many ways of turning obstacles into a blessing in disguise. You seem to excel in this art. Mars, your favourable star, heralds a buoyant and optimistic phase. You will feel that you are, at last on the road to success.

The opportune period to make headway is between mid-June and mid-September. Don’t exert too much at the cost of your health during the months of November-December. Extreme care is needed to avoid wastage during the months of January-February. You should reach a social high during the last phase.

A combust Mercury, placed in the house of expenditure, is in no mood to oblige you. Expect the New Year to be exceptionally expensive. You may have to find ways and means to minimise your commitments and liabilities. Workwise also, the year is likely to keep you stressed. You will feel as if you have wasted you effort by going on a wild goose chase.

Don’t feel put off if your social life becomes a drain on your purse. Although you may aspire or even try to build castles in the air, there is practically no hope to make your future safe and sound.

April 19

This is expected to be a profoundly prosperous year. Jupiter in the house of wealth may urge you to choose very carefully how and when you should act and with whom should you collaborate. According to astrological conjunction people you live with or work with are bound to move your way.

Hope and cheer may prevail during the first quarter. You seem all set to achieve your aims during the second. You may appear more attractive to the opposite sex during the third. A boom is in the offing during the last one.

You have been forced to sort out an important domestic matter which has been hanging fire since long. Your stars may bring the problem to a head one way or the other. The over-all situation is likely to remain slightly deceptive. Perhaps some vital information is being concealed from you. All you can really do is to offer suggestions, advice and assistance and play second-fiddle.

A little care and wait-and-watch policy is needed. The truth is that there is no safe option you can confidently bank upon. A modest effort on your part is quite insufficient to help you deliver goods.

The more determined you are to make a mark in the area of your expertise, the more ground you are likely to cover. You will have deeper grasp of facts than ever before. There is everything in your chart to suggest that you should take some time off to pamper yourself.

Your mood will be changing for the better and your confidence will take a leap forward. A close balance between work and pleasure will brighten your spirits and you will be able to live up to your reputation. Your planets advise you to usher in more serenity in your life.
