Born on

May 9

Even though life is generally going your way, there are bound to be a couple of trouble spots. You might not receive the support you expect from loved ones. On the romantic front, too, things will be a bit slow and it will be better if you don’t get impatient and force the pace.

You will derive pleasure from a loved one during August-September. Some new friends will enter your life during November-December. You will remain more interested in goodwill missions than in worldly affairs during March-April.

May 10

This is a very special year and if you can hand on for just a little while longer, you will see your life undergo a sea change. A welcome development during the next year will be the overwhelming public adulation you receive.

Your love life will be quite exciting during the first quarter. Your capability to act independently will increase during the second. Domestic hassles could be sorted out satisfactorily during the third. You should, however, mind your own business during the last one.

May 11

You are really not sure about what you want. Keeping your ears close to the ground will enable you to remain informed about the latest developments. Those who say that they will stand by you through thick and thin are not likely to stand by their word. Under no circumstances should you allow yourself to be kept in the dark. There is no dearth of wisdom in you and you should not be content with staying on the sidelines.

May 12

A welcome year when your wisdom will subdue your prejudices, whims and outdated concepts. This is a time to get out of the rut and inject a healthy dose of adventure into your life. If you have been indecisive and have not had any specific goal before you, you will finally decide what you want.You will act with charm and dignity. Your apprehensions that someone is plotting against you is just a figment of your imagination.

May 13

You will want to spend on the welfare of your family and dear ones. Every penny that you spend be well spent and nothing should be wasted. You will shoulder all your responsibilities in an admirable manner.

Your stars predict harmony and goodwill. If you want to mend breaches in relationships, don’t hesitate to take the first step.

May 14

Getting too close to someone is likely to backfire. Venus, as it is placed now, may make your relationships difficult. You have to be extra-cautious with the people you work or deal with.

Some people around you are on the lookout to serve their selfish interests but you should do only that which your conscience permits.

May 15

A slight increase in your income is assured but your expenditure will rise too. Despite caution and thrift, you might face financial problems. You may have to spend on entertainment of guests, education and welfare of children. The only way to tide over the phase is the adoption of austerity measures.

Socially, this year is a promising one. You will come across interesting and accomplished persons.
