October 18 to October 24, 1998

	Aries [ March 20-April 18] Your stars for the current week encourage socialising and friendly gatherings. With domestic pressures on the wane, you can envisage a week of enjoyment and pleasure.			Taurus [ April 19-May 19 ] At times like this, only the very best can deliver the goods. You cannot expect all areas of life to run smoothly. Hence, it is better to select one field to make your mark in.
	Gemini [ May 20-June 20 ] A fine time to act as a good host or hostess despite your economy running into rough weather. Yet it looks that you will feel more relaxed if you keep an eye on long-term gains.			Cancer [ June 21-July 21 ] You should feel more energetic now. Problems are likely to recede. Family affairs may also stage a comeback if you take a more active interest.
	Leo [ July 22-August 21 ] You may be vigilant to the core but you seem doomed to face an unpredictable phase. With Sun, your lord, in a weak position, there is little chance of implementing your plans.			Virgo [ August 22-September 20 ] The unkind Mercurial alignments are advising you to keep a watchful eye on your funds as you may be required to shell out some of your hard-earned finances.
	Libra [ September 21-October 22 ] The companions or partners should be in a mood to fall in with your plans. According to current indications available, you should be able to charm and seduce them with your manners, generosity and goodwill gestures.			Scorpio [ October 23-November 21 ] It must go into your head that money does not grow on trees. Although you are averse to being prudent, but by being penny-wise and pound foolish you will not gain anything.
	Sagittarius [ November 22-December 22 ] Jupiter sighted by Mars is a force to be reckoned with. Endowed with the qualities of head and heart, you will not allow yourself to be swept off your feet. It means the word “narrow” is missing in your dictionary.			Capricorn [ December 23-January 19 ] This week’s planetary alignments are all out to provide you with the choicest options. Nothing may remain beyond your grasp at the moment. You may just stand up, put your finger on the target, and win the game.
	Aquarius [ January 20-February 18 ] A period to be out and about more than usual. The fact that your associates are throwing the whole buck on your shoulders should not cow you down to accept what is wrong and unreasonable.			Pisces [ February 19-March 19 ] It may be difficult to strike a balance between work and leisure life. All work and no relaxation could undermine your mental and physical health. It is wise to take time off, perk up your diet and keep yourself tension-free.
