October 5 to October 11

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

A delightful week for a majority of Ariens. They will act with uncharacteristic spontaneity. They will also pay more attention to their health. This is bound to pay off in the long run.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Unreasonable demands from near and dear ones will irritate you. You should not give in to these. They have to learn to be more amenable to reason. Friday might be tiresome.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

You will be able to overcome all obstacles in your path. You should learn to spend your hard-earned money judiciously. There is still a mystery to be solved or a lost object to be traced.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

The general trend of events is auspicious. So be on the lookout to exploit all offers, opportunities and bargains the moment they come your way. You are, however, cautioned against making rash promises.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

If all goes according to your plans, you will feel greatly relieved. The problems which have dogged you for long will finally be resolved. It is, however, imperative for you to keep your cool.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

With Mercury having run into combustion, you may fail to accomplish the task you are supposed to have achieved by now. Don’t get swayed by false promises. Let your instincts show you the way.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Happenings which are inconsistent with your hopes and wishes could cause deep annoyance to you. Do not expect peace and tranquillity to prevail during this period.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Despite your best efforts, the work may pile up much beyond your expectations. You need plenty of self control and a strong dose of patience to maintain your poise. But even then you might lose your cool.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

It is fairly auspicious occasion for a majority of Sagittarians to socialise. A modest effort on their part should be enough to win them applause. Thursday may be significant for them.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

This week will give you the opportunity to sort out pending problems. Professionally, you are not going to lag behind. You can expect support from unexpected quarters.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Financial problems may dog you. A cautious approach towards financial matters is a must. Things are expected to look up on the work front.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

A marvellous period for travel and outdoor activities. Even short trips to nearby places could exhilarate you. You will encounter new ideas, new people and even new situations. If interested, you could learn a new skill.

Born on

October 5

Your professional stars are unmistakably buoyant during the incoming year. Your friends and relations will cherish you. You could be depended upon to stand by their side if any need arises.

Don’t feel upset if your social life proves a drain on your purse. A surprise visit to a place of your choice and a chance encounter with a dignitary should be on the cards after March. It will be wrong to ignore friends and fight your battle alone.

October 6

An Aquarian moon associated with malefic stars gives rise to gossip and confusion. The dark cloud on the horizon is your tendency to blame wrong persons for things that go wrong. The best course is to wait and watch, give more heed to warning signals and keep your fingers crossed.

It will be better if you keep your feet planted on the ground. You must remember to distinguish between facts and fantasy. To play safe should be your first priority. Resist the temptation to make quick money.

October 7

A comfortable, lively and heart-warming period. This, in fact, is the most auspicious time to widen the area of your activities. New ventures, socialising and recreational activities will be high on your agenda. You will be in love with life and keen to meet and develop your relations with people belonging to different strata of society.

October 8

Be careful of too much intimacy with people you are not sure of. Although no hard and fast rules can be prescribed when it comes to relationships but the current planetary position does not allow you to go beyond a certain limit. One is required to make it a point to be extra cautious with the people one lives or works with.

October 9

A lively year to give life a pleasant sparkle. You will opt for long-term gains. Make it a point to reciprocate the gesture of goodwill extended by your friends. The time is ripe to get what you want without accepting any compromise.

Expect a spate of good news during the first quarter. You may be tempted to embark on a spending spree during the second. You may have to change your priorities during the third. Excessive work can, cause some discomfort during the last one.

October 10

An exciting and amusing year with a number of pleasant surprises appearing one after another. Some pleasing news, a long-awaited recreational programme and a happy get-together are some of the main attractions of the incoming year.

The ideas and plans you put forth are likely to be hailed during the first quarter. You are poised to gain through the goodwill of your friends and associates during the second. During the third quarter you will have to make special efforts to get your merit recognised. Your health needs constant care during the last one.

October 11

Domestic irritants coupled with financial constraints are likely to keep you in a tight corner. Some people, probably those you work with, may not see eye-to-eye with you and thus become a cause of trouble. It is, however, unwise to get provoked and lose your cool. Thoughts of revenge should be replaced by a spirit of forgiveness.

A lucrative offer could be withdrawn because of your indifferent attitude. The only answer is to remain humble, polite and accommodating.
