April born Geminians will have better luck than those born in June and July. For the September born, however, the period is dormant. It will take a while for the good days to come.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

You have put up with others’ pettiness and moods for too long. You can tell them in clear-cut terms that you will no longer be exploited like this.

The financial front may see a boom. The world you have known until now has been the world of hopes but it is going to be a gold mine from now on.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

This is not the time for any out-of-the-way generosity. Your magnanimity will be like a wild goose chase.

Finances will be in good shape. Financial affairs will be sorted out according to your sweet will. You will be more successful in the sale-purchase of stocks and other money-earning schemes.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

Choice of friends will catch your fancy this time. It will take the wind out of your sails, if you choose a Virgoan or a Libran as your friend. A Cancerian or a Sagittarian could, however, add charm to your life.

Born on

January 21

You are in for a hectic and tiring phase especially at work and may be compelled to reschedule your priorities. Team up with people of superior intelligence who are more experienced and skilled than you are. A financial breakthrough may become evident after February. Cash concerns should be taken care of more vigilantly from July onwards.

January 22

You may do better but choose new commitments in areas where you can hit the nail on the head. You can raise adequate cash to go ahead with your plans. From March onwards, you will update yourself on your area of expertise. You are likely to feel a little irritated during June-July. September will, however, help you keep yourself calm and contented.

January 23

This year will turn out to be a prosperous one. Your ideas and plans will be perfectly workable and there are no chances of looking back now. A person with charismatic qualities of head and heart could be attracted towards you during the first quarter. In love, you will be a little fussy and may lag behind during the second. The best period for enjoyment is between May and July.

January 24

The partners or your colleagues are very much on your side. There can be no better time for making plans for the future. It is time to be business-like. In money matters do not make rash promises. You will have to make a little sacrifice during March-April. Social pressures will be stronger than ever during June-July. Those who are in the property business may beat previous records from September onwards.

January 25

Your performance as a conscientious worker is likely to be recognised. Although your immediate concern is limited to minor gains only, a major gain cannot be far behind. There seems little point in worrying about a friend who had gone astray. You can bridge the gap without making any special effort. There should be no dearth of joy and comfort after September 2007.

January 26

You will enter the New Year on a courageous note. Overseas travel will get top priority. The best bet, however, is to concentrate on family and domestic matters. You need a change to assess the difference between your old life and the new world. Romantically this could be an intensely secretive phase.

January 27

There may be a minor threat to your economy. You will be compelled to fasten your purse strings. You may feel burdened with responsibilities. The paucity of funds remains the biggest snag. A hasty step involving huge expenditure needs to be guarded against during the first quarter. Travel will dominate during the second. The entertainer in you will delight your friends during the third. Your circle of friends can increase during the end part.
