September 22 to September 28

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Business-oriented Ariens will be able to make money without try too hard. Their business-stars are stunning . Persistence and consistence are their strongest assets.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Some of your friends feel that they have a claim on your time, talent and generosity. They are on the lookout to take advantage of you. Make sure that you are not taken in by them.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

You will have to wage a tough battle to keep your finances on an even keel. You should curb your ‘devil may care’ attitude. Protect yourself from being exploited by fair-weather friends.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

All eyes are on you, hence there can be no excuse for not using your skills and talents. This is a boom period for all Cancerians. Sky is the limit for them, both personally and professionally.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

The fact that your rivals will get the credit for the work you do will bother you. At work, your anxiety to keep your dignity intact could backfire.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

This is a good time for a majority of Virgoans to socialise. A modest effort on their part should be enough to win them accolades. Wednesday happens to be a good day for them.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Family affairs dominate the scene. Plan your agenda meticulously and keep an eye on the requirements of relatives. While shopping, try not to opt only for luxuries.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Mars, your prime star, ensures that the pace of events will speed up. Although you are ambitious and want the best, it will be better to think in terms of duties rather than rights.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

You may feel the need to identify yourself with a cause. With a positive trend in the offing, you are not going to lag behind. Resentment and bitterness seem alien to your nature.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Saturn, your prime star, symbolises the support you will gather from friends. It is a good time to keep all ideas, plans and strategies secret. There is everything to gain from being patient.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

An alarming spurt in your day-to-day expenditure may plunge you into gloom. Domestic compulsions could also be burdensome. However, things are expected to look up by the weekend.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

Life is replete with opportunities. If you make the effort you stand to gain from these. Artists, sportsmen and creative people will steal the show.

Born on

September 22

A Virgoan sun sighted by the moon reveals that you are heading towards a socially uplifting time. You will bid farewell to monotony and routine prevailing in your life. You will be finding ways and means to add colour to your life and make it worth living. If you are employed, you can expect some change in the nature of your work. You will get more time to relax.

A few generous gestures on your part are enough to deplete your funds. This could leave you feeling on edge from May onwards. So a little more care is a must.

September 23

A lustrous Moon in Jupiter is a great support. You will find yourself in the company of highly talented people who could provide you the information you have been searching for. One thing of which you must take a serious note is that you should not over-react over minor mistakes made by your friends.

No doubt, you have the skill and knack to manage people and get work out of them but you cannot trust all of them blindly so the best advice is to stay close to them and keep a strict watch over them.

September 24

With a stressful Mars in a combustive posture, you will not be as efficient as you have been during the past. It may be easy to start a new venture but you may not be able to benefit from it. What you think is your trump card may turn out to be damp squib. Even the people you think are your best friends could turn their backs on you when you need them.

September 25

An important year to assess your past performance and to realign your plans in the light of the wisdom gained there from. There is no reason to feel overconfident about your capabilities as there is still a lot of ground to be covered. You are most probably not in a position to make any changes in your plans but you should make them foolproof and also formulate a policy for the future.

September 26

There was never a moment like this to be out and about more than usual and that too so frequently. Your nomadic instincts have received a big boost. It is time to gird up your loins and stop not till you finish all that you have to do irrespective of the amount of work involved.

You will be in your element during the first quarter. Social commitments are likely to prove costly during the second. Expect plenty of fun during the third. Take care not to exert more during the last one.

September 27

Expect the incoming year to be a fairly balanced one. There are no two opinions that you will be acting wisely and conscientiously, exploiting fully the opportunities that come your way. No doubt, the tasks in front of you are extensive but you do not have to push yourself too hard. Instead of wasting your energy on trivial matters you should preserve it for important activities.

Avoid trying to do more than you can handle. You can, however, expect some relief from March onwards. Avoid travelling at night during the end part.

September 28

The winds of change have started blowing. You have two options before you. You can either go in for self indulgence or you can opt for a life of austerity and renunciation.

If you are true to your convictions then you will have no doubts about what you should do. You must have faith in yourself. Leisure activities will, however, be best if these do not irritate anybody else.
