February 29

Life has rarely looked so good. Your income is about to increase dramatically. You are entering a new cycle in your financial affairs, one in which you are likely to benefit more from teaming up with a like-minded partner than from taking the whole burden on your own shoulders.

Sun, the planet of supreme power, is aligned with your money-house. You must take advantage of it by chasing financial targets.

March 1

With moon joining a Germinian Saturn this looks like a period when your expenditure will be higher than usual. You will have to accommodate the wishes of your associates and as such it may become difficult to manage within your resources.

The pace of your expenditure is all set to escalate during the first quarter. You will be travelling for pleasure rather than work during the second. You should take things easy during the third. Mix business with pleasure during the last one.

March 2

The coming year will increase your desire to adopt a better lifestyle. Your passion for love, laughter and a peaceful life will also come to the fore. It will become essential for you to have sufficient spare time to yourself away from cares and anxieties of the world.

Your life will be full of mirth during the first quarter. A balance between work and pleasure will brighten your spirits during the second. A pleasant journey is on the cards during the third.

March 3

Your stars are in a lively mood and you may explore fresh areas of interest. You will indulge in your favourite activities. Overseas travel or even a move to distant part of the country could be on the cards. You should consider yourself lucky because your future looks lively and optimistic. Everything that happens now will be in your best interest. A family reunion or a long-awaited celebration could cheer you up towards the end of the year.

March 4

The presence of Jupiter in the best region of your solar chart indicates that your responsibilities are about to increase. You are in for a busy phase at work and it may be important to reschedule some of your less pressing engagements. Probably the best way to achieve success is to team up with people who are more experienced than you or atleast have more wisdom, skill and understanding.

You will be able to take difficult matters in your stride and act sensibly. You will feel confident that you are on the road to success.

March 5

Venus, the goddess of love, is making you unsure of your romantic feelings. As long as you are not sure about your intentions, you should not make any commitments.

The exemplary qualities of your head and heart have shaped your reputation as a person who sticks to his guns and pursues his plans with courage and determination. Your stars will prevent you from becoming self-centred and arrogant.

March 6

You are passing through a sluggish phase. Although you want to be in the forefront of all that is happening, yet your planets are urging you to slow down and be cautious. It is in your interest to sit back and derive happiness from relationships and domestic arrangements. If you do not make any move right now you may find either that circumstances have changed or that it is too late to actually do anything.
