May 13 to May 19

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

If someone has surpassed you in hunting for a career or some other similar endeavour, there is no point in feeling diffident. It should be deemed as a challenge and taken in a sportsman’s spirit.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Venus makes you wise, sensible, compassionate and easy to get on with. If you are in love, try to resist pressures outright and do what you think is appropriate.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

If you are face-to-face with undercurrents or misunderstandings, and carefree also, it can upset the apple cart. The future, however, lies in your hands, if you avoid swinging to extremes or putting all your eggs in one basket.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

The incoming week is quite opportune for any out-of-the-way act of generosity. Why don’t you take the lead to handle a charitable venture? Selfless behaviour on your part will make you feel good.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Professional Leos can meet challenges and obstacles head-on. This is no time for a weak-kneed compromise. Instead, you must be tough and unyielding. Sticking to your guns can prove your trump card.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Your fate will remain sealed if you enter into any type of liaison with Cancerians or Leos. Lady luck can, however, shower her choicest blessings on you if you happen to be hand in glove with Geminians or Librans.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Friday is your most auspicious day to take important decisions and confront awkward choices. Venus, your sign star, is backing you so solidly that you can handle almost any situation to your best advantage.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

The best day for your performance as a strong-willed Scorpio is Tuesday. Now is the time to believe that the situation, as it stands today, allows you to face the future most dexterously.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

The progress you have achieved while trying to capture your goalpost could come to a grinding halt. Think twice before you decide to change horses in the midstream. To wait and watch is the best solution.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Friends and associates who have been performing the role of a fence sitter will change their stance and start encouraging you enthusiastically and whole-heartedly. From now on, your future looks lively, innovative and optimistic.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Your economy will continue to give you rude shocks. Those planning to enjoy life out of their homes will be quashing the plan for want of funds.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

It is going to stand in good stead, if you cooperate with the authorities running the show. Your stars favour calm actions and cool responses. If you are still a non-entity, don’t fret and fume. There is light beyond the tunnel.

Born on

May 13

As soon as the New Year rings in, you will become more mobile. Entertaining of friends could prove costly from now on. Say ‘no’ to all unwanted commitments during the first quarter. Events will move faster than expected during the second. If in love, you will be keeping your secrets close to your heart. The people who pledged to be on your side may not stick to their words during the last one.

May 14

You are going to adopt a new path. What you do now could have a lasting impact on your professional life. A big surprise cannot be ruled out. Get routine tasks and day-to-day commitments sorted out properly. Efficiency that is of utmost importance should not be sacrificed at any cost.

May 15

The time has come to stop obliging others. Safeguarding your personal interest should be your priority. You can play a key role in improving the financial fortunes of your friends after July. Don’t involve yourself in more than one issue at a time during September-October. You could prove your worth more effectively during the last phase.

May 16

There will be peace, tranquility and profound happiness. You will socialise, meet new people, make new friends and sort out differences with the old ones. You will remain in a jovial mood during the first quarter. You may be on the brink of achieving something substantial during the second. Life should gather more colour with each passing day during the third. You are, however, advised to act sensibly during the last one.

May 17

Your routine expenditure will gain momentum. Come what may, you are advised not to indulge in lending or borrowing. Your best efforts to add to your income may not bring the desired results. You are, however, advised to keep a strict watch over your funds.

May 18

You may extend your contacts far and wide from the financial angle. The whole year promises to be brisk and breezy. You will enjoy and laugh more. As days roll by, you will be in a cheerful mood for love and more than usually attractive to the opposite sex, particularly if you are a woman. If your love life is passing through a rocky patch, it needs to be given top priority. The golden rule is to strike when the iron is hot.

May 19

You may have to struggle on one pretext or the other. The situation, however, is bound to take a turn for the better. You are advised to adopt a cautious approach while dealing with delicate issues. Your future course of action may perplex you during the first quarter. Extra enthusiasm on your part needs to be curtailed during the second. Your intense yearning for adventure could land you in problems during the third. There is, however, joy round the corner during the last one.
