December 12 to December 18

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Your stars predict that you will travel a lot this week. You will enjoy roaming about or meeting people you have seldom come across.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

With a meagre income at your disposal, you may have to observe restraint. Financial conservation is the best remedy to tide over the situation. Friday will be an expensive day.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Your stars could not be more generous. This is an ideal moment to learn from your past mistakes and focus on future. Concentrate on your positive aspects and do not let failures bog you down.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

The Sagittarian moon will be beneficial and boost your professional prospects. You should think and act in terms of reality. Try to make the best of any opportunity you get.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

The benign sun will enhance your financial fortunes. Your energy level will be redoubled within a short time. In love, someone new can sweep you off your feet.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

A steep escalation in your routine expenditure may upset the apple cart. While helping a friend under a cloud, do not upset the equilibrium to your economy.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Your benefic stars have scored a stupendous victory over the malefic ones. You will come to terms with the people who are on a different wavelength. It will add to your personality.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Acting first and analysing its outcome later is your weak point. Some kind of a show down could become a stark reality, if you do not care to take tempting offers with a pinch of salt. Tuesday will be a crucial day.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

The stars may not be perfectly favourable but they hold promise. A good businessman always works out the odds first and then proceeds.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Your stars are compelling you to be out and about more than usual. Try to opt for short trips rather than going in for long ones. Your concern should be comfort and not money alone.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Your stars lay emphasis on social life. Associating with a Geminian or a Virgoan will be gainful. To ally or to trust Cancerians or Leos is a wrong step and should be avoided firmly.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

A stroke of financial luck is a foregone conclusion. If interested in the purchase of stocks, you should be a definite gainer. Your financial stars will brighten up after Thursday.

December 12

Even though life is going your way, there are a few pitfalls that need to be taken care of. With responsibilities on the increase and commitments expanding, there is less scope for you to put your feet up and relax. Do not get alarmed as the whirl of the heavy load that has been dazing is bound to fade away sooner or later. Don’t allow your optimism to fade away. While you may not like what you hear, there will be lot of sense in what other people say.

December 13

You are a flexible and broad-minded person but it is annoying to find that people with whom you are closely linked change their mind and back out on their promises. You will, however, get used to such people who are so unreliable and try to get on with them by being a little more tolerant.

Now is the time for care, caution and consideration. The starry signs are that some restraint is a must. The more alert and precise you are, the more you can pave the way for a rosy and prosperous future.

December 14

With the Mars heading towards its dignified sign, there is no time to sit back and keep your fingers crossed. Suspicions about the intentions of your associates should no longer bother you. If in business, the coming phase will force you to team up with a potential partner. You will gain much by reposing confidence in your allies and gain through their wisdom and experience. There will be no let down in what you aim at.

December 15

Your yearning for adventure and keen desire to shoulder a tough responsibility could get you into problems if you fail to keep your enthusiasm or ambitious bent of mind under check. During the early part, you could be disappointed at having to stay away from an important event or making a way for one of your rivals to steal the show. From April onwards, your self-confidence should be riding high and your bank balance will become increasingly healthy. Although it involves sweat and toil yet it is worth the bother you have undergone.

December 16

There is nothing you cannot achieve during the present month and if you don’t act now you may never have the opportunity to build up your fortunes so easily. See to it that you remain unhindered up to the hilt.

At home, you have no other choice than to ditto the plans or views of your partner. At the work place, there is still a huge agenda that needs a speedy disposal. You can seek advice from a Leo friend.

December 17

The dignified Venus is a force to be reckoned with. You will be riding high on the wings of energy and enthusiasm. Deeply in love with life as you are, you will leave no stone unturned to make it a bed of roses. It is an auspicious time for entertainment, merry-making, arranging pleasure trips and important social events.

The key time to conduct yourself with more alertness and efficiency will be during January to June. Excessive work could cause some discomfort to you from July onwards.

December 18

Saturn in direct confrontation with Jupiter proclaims that a high-speeding phase is about to entrap you. Your efforts to maintain a balance in your economy is likely to end in a fiasco. Despite hard labour, there will be no increase in your income to meet the liabilities.

Your stars advise you not to cross your boundaries and keep your feet on ground. Remember to distinguish between facts and fantasy. Your comparatively better period is between February and May.
