May 20 to May 26

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Your wisdom may not be in doubt but it is surprising that you are trying to cash in on some false hopes. As a sensible Arien, you should be aware that money does not grow on trees.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Your social life is about to turn a new leaf. The people you rely upon should be genuine and sincere. The friends who have slipped out of your life could also stage a comeback.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

The road ahead is full of twists and turns. You will take two steps forward and three steps backwards. Your stars advise you to clear the backlog that has been bugging you.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

Your hopes are high and you are aiming at the moon. However, your stars are not so strong and the best advice would be to adopt the middle course and be realistic.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

It is a boom time for ambitious Leos. If in service, your boss will greet you with a sweet smile. Even your rivals will endorse your views hands down.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

For Wednesday-born Virgoans, a golden opportunity lies at a stone’s throw. The Monday-born Virgoans should remember that all that glitters is not gold. If they are enamoured of somebody, it will not be a cakewalk for them.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Despite contradictory indications, it looks as if you are a step or two closer to your goalpost. Your emotional battle has reached the final stage and you should be up and doing now.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Slow and steady wins the race should be your motto this week. You must walk first before you start running. Adventure sometimes does pay handsomely but you could be caught on the wrong foot also.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

You may be dubbed as ‘a devil may care person’ if you don’t cash in your fortunes when the stock market is booming. Your stars are conducive to play the game confidently. Friday should be your key day.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

You are poised on the edge of something big. It looks like the time has come for a change of tracks. There is a need to replace optimism by realism and dreaming to a down to earth approach.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Somebody who has impressed you greatly can be seen in his true colours now. The mirage that once fascinated you could evaporate like mist in the air. It is no wisdom to sweep reality under the carpet.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

If you trust an Aquarian beyond limits, you will be inviting trouble. Dealing or joining hands with a Cancerian or a Leo is a sign of good luck and should not be treated as insignificant.

Born on

May 20
The incoming year is a period of hope and cheer. There is no urgency to burn the midnight oil now. More fun and less fatigue are likely to keep you happy and gay. You can win the favour of Lady Luck hands down. You will be self-confident and could pose a threat to all who wish ill of you. Your meticulous grasp of crucial matters will be applauded from September onwards.

May 21

You will be entering into the New Year with a broad smile. Love and cordiality of friends will cheer you up. Your earning capacity will go up during the first quarter. You will expose yourself to new ideas during the second. A breath of fresh air is likely to revitalise your mood during the third. Undue generosity on your part is uncalled for during the last one.

May 22

Life would not necessarily go your way this year. The people you live with or work with will not see eye to eye with you. You will be accused of taking notice of a few close to you and not bothering about the rest. If you are in a joint family, you will tend to worry more. Your working life will need more agility. If you speculate or participate in the sale-purchase of stocks, you are not likely to fare well.

May 23

A spell of good luck is on its way. You may supplement your income. Rarely has the house of finance shown so much of promise so far. Perhaps you have no idea of the lucky days that await you. If you are in the run for a senior position or for an electoral seat, luck will play a key role in improving your social position and financial fortunes during November-December.

May 24

You have stressed yourself beyond limit. There is a need to halt plans that aim at adding more burden to your busy life. There is a need to keep an eye on your health. This is the right time to plan for a break to recoup your health. You will push yourself hard during the first quarter. Your mood could become adventurous during the second. Excessive travelling may harm you during the third. You will remain happy and gay during the end part.

May 25

You may spend lavishly. Your craze to shop or hunt for bargains may become more acute. An unexpected demand could add fuel to fire. You may feel as if you are being exploited by your own people. Some restraint, however, seems a must to save the situation from going bad to worse. Shortage of funds will be a major setback during this year.

May 26

You may be intensely absorbed in work. With commitments mounting, there is hardly any scope for you to relax. It will be ideal if you spare some time for rest and relaxation and avoid health hazards. As September gets under way, your social life will brim with activity. An unexpected gesture of goodwill could be expected any moment. Being in a happy mood, you could transform your dull life into an exciting one.
