Born on

Sun’s close proximity to Mercury indicates a hectic start. You could be tempted to add to your activities. You may have to do some serious thinking in terms of limiting your commitments and liabilities. You are, no doubt, endowed with a sense of adventure but you should act with due caution and strike only when the iron is hot.

Don’t feel upset if you are in great demand socially. There is no harm in increasing your contacts but you should be firm with people of doubtful antecedents.

A luminous Moon in the house of wisdom brings changes in your thoughts and actions. It is a gainful star for interacting with like-minded people. You must share your ideas with men of calibre. You should emerge wiser, stronger, and more confident. The qualities of your head and heart will help you to persuade others to agree with you.

You can expect your intelligence to be at an all-time high. If you are in service, you will be able to win the favour of your seniors. This is, however, not a good time for winning the heart of your lover.

The incoming year brings you good opportunities. Mars in the house of luck is your best hope. some kind of career-change is on the cards for some of you. There is no need to stifle your feelings or hedge your bets during this period. Since you are under sufficient celestial protection you need not worry any more. If anyone thinks he can take you for a ride, he is sadly mistaken. There is a good news for you. People in your immediate vicinity are expected to show greater regard for you and for your relatives in the near future.

There never was a moment like this for spending huge amounts of money on home and family life. The message of your stars is that every penny should be well-spent and nothing should be allowed to go waste. Those who are in the habit of criticising you will be doing so at their peril!

Your strategy to handle funds along sound lines is not likely to yield fruit. Lending, borrowing or even investing may leak to losses. A marked change in your attitude is the need of the hour.

This year promises you a smooth ride. You shall be able to achieve your aims without facing any problems. With the passage of time, it may become crystal clear that you have caught up in an area where you thought you had lagged behind. So you will be more in tune with the day-to-day developments. Your thinking process, especially your assessment of people, will be marvellous. You can keep your head high with pride. Someone you have not been happy with will stage a comeback and enliven your life.

July 11

The incoming year is full of challenges. There are many pitfalls waiting to puzzle you and demoralise you. The ideal position will be if you are quite firm in your resolve and do not allow others to influence you and make you act the wrong way. There are some people around you who are generally on the lookout to serve their selfish ends but you should try to do only what you think is correct and logical. If you put blind faith in your friends, you will regret it.

The new year opens on a pessimistic note. Your keen desire to introduce some changes in the prevailing atmosphere of mistrust is not likely to bear any fruit for the time being. If you still insist on carrying on no useful purpose will be served. It is most evident that there is very little understanding between you and the people you live or work with. Hence, you will have no option but to wait for better times. You should, however, keep a cool head and try to reduce the professional strain as far as possible.
