May 25 to May 31

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

You have a burning desire to make your presence felt. You have to move fast and act promptly or else all opportunities will vanish like mist in the air. So go ahead and surprise everybody.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Your powers of persuasion know no bounds. You may doubt your skills but you can negotiate your way out of the tightest corner. Even the most difficult person will be like putty in your hands.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Your associates, friends and allies are prone to erratic behaviour. Try to bring them round sooner instead of keeping your eyes shut. This is no time to avoid confrontations.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

You have unwillingly upset a close friend during the recent past but it is not too late to make amends. You will have to handle the situation with sensitivity and the utmost caution.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Be prepared to experience some warmth, hope and good feeling during this period. Take care not to be too optimistic. Your friends may get the feeling that you are a little too arrogant.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Your bank balance at the end of the week should be bigger than it was at the beginning. Mercury, your main star, is picking up and giving you the support you have needed for a long time.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

With Venus in the limelight, friends and loved ones could be won over easily. In fact, your silver tongue could help you win over the man or woman of your dreams. A good time for social and personal relations.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Your stars are waging a ruthless war to keep your finances on track. At work also, you will no longer remain the master of your free will. You will have to dance to someone else’s tunes, much against your wishes.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Your love life is taking a turn for the better. This week shall see you wooing that special someone. This shall see you in the best of health and spirits. You have all the reason to feel good about yourself.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

You might feel as if the period of toil is over and victory is yours. Your stars, however, reveal a different story. The rewards that you are after will materialise only after some time.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

You could be at the brink of an uplifting and invigorating event. Unless you handle the situation very tactfully and with all the skills you have, your expectations could be belied.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

Don’t let minor matters distract you. This is a unique period to broaden your outlook and utilise your skills effectively. Thursday is your key day to ensure success.

Born on

May 25

Not only your friends and well-wishers but even your rivals would concede that you deserve praise and recognition. You hold the key to success and are worth taking note of. People who have ignored you in the past will realise their mistake and start making amends.

If single, romance may be in the air during the first quarter. You will find your associates quite compatible during the second. A financial problem could be sorted out during the third. You could soften a tough opponent and enlist his full support during the last one.

May 26

A special relationship between Moon and Jupiter reveals that this is a period of joy and not of regrets. You will expand the circle of your friends. The contacts you form now are likely to prove a big asset in the long run.

Nothing can stop you from improving the quality of life. Your stars encourage you to attend to all tasks and chores promptly. The tendency to show-off should be avoided. You should, however, spare more time for yourself to avoid health problems.

May 27

For a majority of women and elderly people born on this day, an increase in expenditure may become inevitable. The challenge before them is to convince their dear and near ones that they are not extravagant. The most helpful and timely advice for them is that they should avoid the dangers of ambition or thoughtless action.

You will feel a bit upset due to financial problems during June-July. It is wise to be cautious but it is wrong to adopt pessimism in your thought and behaviour. Expect some improvement in your financial fortunes after December.

May 28

Mercury on ascendancy should make the New Year a memorable one. With your personal life cruising along nicely, you will be in an ideal position to offer friends and loved ones the support and goodwill they have been waiting for. You will keep a cool head and face no professional strain.

Social encounters will help you gain popularity and experience during the first quarter. You will think twice before taking a step forward during the second. Avoid travelling at odd hours during the third. Focus your attention on one thing at a time during the last one.

May 29

Your keen desire to introduce some changes in your lifestyle is not likely to be fulfilled for the present, despite frantic efforts on your part. Your relatives, especially the older ones, may not see eye to eye with you. If you insist on trying to convince them, no useful purpose will be served.

You will have to do some serious thinking to regulate your personal life. All those who hover around you will try to pester you and put you in the wrong.

May 30

You will be entering the New Year with new hopes and aspirations. With your stars in an upbeat mood, you will socialise more than ever before. At work also you will perform your role ably, win laurels and command respect. Since you will be starting your New Year with your best foot forward, there should be no looking back throughout the year.

You will sow the seeds of future prosperity from July onwards. Your emotional fortune could also look up after October. Family problems need some care after March.

May 31

You will find yourself burdened with heavy responsibilities during this year. Excessive travelling will tire you. All work and no relaxation could tell upon your health. Cash will have to be shelled out on one pretext or the other.

You will be treading an unfamiliar path during the first quarter. Your work will become more taxing during the second. Friends will be tempted to use your influence during the third. Expect the boredom to diminish during the last one.
