Born on

January 7
Your professional life calls for more sweat and toil. Now is the right occasion to activate plans that had been abandoned due to the paucity of funds. Your energy and drive are not going to desert you, come what may! You will continue to build up your energy during the first quarter. All work and no relief may wear you out during the second. Don’t allow mistrust to hold you back during the third.

January 8
If people don’t honour their commitments and try to browbeat you, the best course would be to keep your cool and make no protest. A modest attempt on your part may not be sufficient to achieve your aim. You need to handle your funds in a better way.

January 9
A change for the better is the main message of the New Year. You will have to blame yourself entirely, if you do not make hay while the sun shines. Life should be more colourful during the first quarter. A short but fascinating journey may enthral you during the second. You will find yourself enjoying fun and frolic during the third. Your health could, however, cause some alarm during the last one.

January 10
It is a befitting occasion to establish your worth and receive the acclaim, you deserve so richly. Anything less than the very best has no place in your scheme of things. Your plans will meet with abundant success during the first quarter. There will be modest grains during the second. If in business, your plans will receive applause during the third. Don’t grudge what you do for others during the last phase.

January 11
This is one of your most productive and gainful years. Your will power should be at its peak. With each day that passes, you will begin to attract attention not only in your own sphere but even from outside. If in the midst of a love affair, you will soon realise that you are nearing your goal.

January 12
Familiarity breeds contempt. You need to keep this in mind when you try to seek someone’s favour. The current planetary position does not encourage you to go beyond a certain limit in a relationship. You have to be extra cautious with the people you work or deal with. Expect all-round joy at home.

January 13
Ill-sighted Saturn that has just staged a come back encourages you to be more rigid, obstinate and full of anger. You have much to boast about but must appreciate the virtues of humility, good behaviour and a balanced outlook. At one moment, you will touch new heights, while at the next, you will descend down in the dumps. An indecent act of your rival may weigh heavily on your mind. Stop getting baffled and remain calm even if you are provoked.
