July 29 to August 4

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

With Mars your sign lord in Aries, you will turn almost every negative influence to your advantage. It is an excellent time to make purchases.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Retrograde Venus in the house of finance could give you a run for your money. New people may move into your life but the friends you make now will be a liability.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Taureans and Librans wherever they are should be kept in good humour. Leos and Pisceans are difficult to please and as such should be kept at bay.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

You must learn to walk before you speed up. The craze for adventure can pay handsomely but one can get caught on the wrong foot also.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Look forward to much merriment and a trip to a place of your choice. Your relations with people can become more cordial.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

A new and delightful friendship is assured this week. A successful collaborative enterprise could pay you off handsomely.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

You will be deemed a novice, if you don’t invest in the stock market when it is registering a record upswing. It is the right time to invest.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

You are poised on the edge of something very big. You will be replacing optimism by realism, dreams by a practical approach from now on.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

A rise in your day-to-day expenditure could cause annoyance to you. You can handle the financial crunch by making prudent decisions.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

As long as Saturn is playing a helpful role, you can expect your personal matters to improve. Even if you feel a little down as the week begins, you will soon be in your element.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Nomadic Aquarians should be in fine fettle. If you are stuck at home, plan a lively break. You’ll get an opportunity to appreciate life.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

With Jupiter moving at snail’s speed, the success you have achieved during the past could come to a grinding halt. Think twice before you decide to change horses mid-stream.

Born on

July 29

With the Sun sighted by the lustrous Moon, you will have all the relevant information regarding your welfare. You can afford to take the lead socially during the first quarter. A sudden journey may add to your fortunes in the second. You can afford to have fun during the third. Help people worse off than you and go in for a charitable venture in the last one.

July 30

Less leisure and more work is likely to irk you. All that is needed is a little change in your attitude. You could try behaving more courteously. The right time to prove your worth may start from September onwards. Excessive work could cause discomfort during November-December. Your ability to consolidate gains will be appreciated during March-April. You could dodge any obstacle that comes your way during the end part.

July 31

Mars your fiery star may make you more ambitious and assertive. The fame you earn may beat all previous records. It is perhaps the best time to prove your worth. You will remain surprisingly strong-willed during the first quarter. You will think and act big during the second. If you are in business, a thumping success awaits you during the third. You should, however, remain on your guard during the last one.

August 1

A Cancerian Mercury sighted by retrograde Neptune reveals that unexpected events could continue to happen during the current financial year. Some developments will be positive, while the rest may be unrewarding. Don’t lose heart. All these hindrances are temporary and if you are strong-willed, you can handle them without making any compromise.

August 2

Jupiter, having recovered from a zero-degree pace, is now a force to reckon with. Your life may revolve around the welfare of your kith and kin. You will remain busy and will continue to succeed in your mission. As September gets underway, your plans will meet with success. If you are planning to move into a new house, the latter part of the year would be most auspicious to do so.

August 3

A well-starred period for achieving new targets. This is a fertile period to broaden your horizons and instil a sense of adventure in your life. Some pleasing news, a long-awaited ceremony and a recreational trip are some of the attractions of the year. Your future will be quite smooth after November. Your stars seem poised to fill your life with pleasure after January.

August 4

You are about to enter a high-spending phase. Your efforts to check your expenditure are likely to receive a blow. The demands of those close to you will be so unreasonable that you will reject them outrightly. It is not the right time to overstep your limits. If you do not keep your feet on the ground, you are likely to get caught in a financial mess. Your stars advise you to lay greater emphasis on simple living and high thinking.
