Born on

July 14

This is a good time to lighten your load and feel a little relaxed. You will be happier if you are calm and tension-free. Your stars advise you to say ‘no’ to the unreasonable demands of friends and relatives who wish to take advantage of your generosity.

Results may be below your expectations. Something unexpected might take place behind the scenes, which is likely to change your plans and ideas. If you stick to your guns and do what you think is correct, you can expect things to go your way from November onwards.

A centrally placed Virgoan moon can turn the tables. The period is upbeat for a majority of people born on this day. You will think long and hard and make sure that nobody deceives you or puts you in the wrong by arousing false hopes.

A spell of good luck is on its way during the first quarter. You will be in an ideal position to help friends during the second. Visits to places of beauty will add to your joy during the third. Expect a slight setback to your income during the last one.

With a debilitated Mars in the house of finance it is hard to get a grip on life so what you were once so sure of may turn out to be a mirage. All that you had pinned your hopes on will remain shrouded in a veil of mystery. Even friends may turn their back on you when you need them.

Take care not to take offence at insignificant matters. An apology or good behaviour towards other people will change the scenario. A little humility and consideration for others is the key to success. If you adopt this principle you will not go wrong.

Mercury, the planet of wisdom and sound judgement, may enhance your family’s happiness. You may not have to work so hard and may be in a position to enjoy more.

Some people may think you are a bit too cold and calculating. You have set this impression right and the sooner you do it the better. Your friends may not stand up to what they say but you would not like to shun their company. You will still long for them and may fail to overcome this weakness.

An exalted Jupiter is playing a positive role in your affairs. Despite the stress and strain, you shall succeed because of your enthusiasm. You will remain alert to your duties, commitments and obligations. The salient feature of the incoming year is that you will be associating yourself with a noble cause which is likely to promote your social status to new heights.

Your energy levels will increase with each passing day and you will be able to acquire anything you want.

You are heading towards a high expenditure phase which may keep you off-colour for most of the time. Unreasonable demands of your friends and relatives and the rising inflation may add fuel to the fire. If you try to control your funds and even start living thriftily you may be tempted to indulge in a bad bargain and lose heavily. In short, whatever you do to stabilise your finances, the result will be quite negative.

With your hand full of trump cards, you will not sit at home and waste your time. Temperamentally, you are not one to wait and watch while your rivals pass you by. In spite of rising costs, your stars predict luck.

You will get recognition even from unfamiliar quarters. The people you mix with will be generous and outgoing. The time is ripe for you to usher in more courage, wit and charm, and more spontaneity and individuality into your life. Health, however, needs some care during the end part.
