July 3 to July 9

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Roll up your sleeves and get on with your work is what your stars advice. It will be sheer imprudence on your part, if you stay back now and let your rivals steal the show.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

Venus could bring a pleasant surprise, in your love life. Taureans, who are unattached and eligible, could choose love as their first priority. Friday is a favourable day.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

A week of rumours and gossips. You should minutely look at your social obligations and see if some of them could be done away with.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

The people who generally shy away from you will be at your doorstep. They will help you to turn the tables on those, who have been at daggers drawn.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Everything hinges around the sun. It is helping you to pick up the best bargain or earn profit through the sale and purchase of stocks. At work, your grasp of issues will be applauded.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Your hopes will be unrealistically high. The milieu is that of uncertainty. Be content with one in hand than look for two in the bush. It will help you to be cautious on Wednesday.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Your sense of humour is one of your most wonderful assets but you have not realised its worth. The best way to deal with domestic upheavals is to laugh them away.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Mars, your most energetic planet, will give you a much-needed shot in the arm. There are challenges but the returns that are bound to follow will far exceed your estimate.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Your social costs are set to spiral but you should not grudge spending for a noble cause. Since your economy has fallen into a rough patch, you should handle your funds cautiously.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

You cannot escape uncertainty. You will be in a dilemma over things. Since you may be in a fix, don’t doubt people who have earned your trust.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Saturn, your sign-star, will stir your emotions. The way to upkeep your emotional relationship is to test your patience. Forget and forgive should be your watchword.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

A great week with a shopping trip, an extravagant outing, a flutter on the stock exchange to cheer you up. You can also enjoy someone’s generosity.

Born on

July 3

You are under stress to take up a personal issue that has been on the backburner since long. Since you remain busy, you would like to evade it. The other reason could be the lack of moral courage on your part to face a situation that is risky and unwelcome.

You will be on the horns of dilemma most of the time. You will muster courage to end the suspense once for all, but may change your mind time and again. There will be no end to the stalemate.

July 4

There is an indication that a new dawn is about to break. Those with an eye on the future will redound their efforts to win the battle of life. How pleasant and joyful it will be to realise that you are in the midst of a potentially prosperous phase.

You will induce people to back your plans during the first quarter. An old plan left halfway could be revived during the second. Your desire to go in for luxurious items could be easily met during the third. The compulsion to overstress yourself should be curbed during the last one.

July 5

Mars, your ruling planet, may create problems for you. You would like to move at full steam but the danger is you may burn your fingers in haste. You have to tackle the irritant, face the challenges, and overcome the obstacles. You will get into arguments and if you react sharply, you might even provoke your well-wishers.

Travel plans need to be reconsidered. You should not make unrealistic estimates or you will have to pay the price.

July 6

The stars governing your economy are in a defiant mood. You can expect a stunning blow to your financial stability. There is a need to strike a balance between income and expenditure to prevent the situation from getting worse.

September and October will find your working hard, but only with nominal gains. Life may invite a lot of stress and toil during November and December. From January, you may feel the events slipping out of your hands. You will however, make a headway after March.

July 7

A strategic Mercury-Saturn combine spells a demanding start. It will be unrealistic to believe that everything will happen according to your preconceived notions. Unless you don’t take care of pitfalls, you are not likely to sail smoothly.

Try to steer clear of the promises you cannot keep. The old pitted against you are not likely to be cleared soon. There is some hope of recovery from November. The year may offer you extensive opportunities to prove your worth.

July 8

Time to look at life with greater satisfaction. The planets that have occupied centrestage now may provide you with a much-needed shot in the arm. You are likely to impress your friends by your behaviour and silence your critics with your tact.

If single and fancy-free, romance may overtake you during the first quarter. You will find your colleagues compatible during the second. Stability will enlighten your mood during the third. A new chapter of love will open during the last one.

July 9

With Saturn in the company of friendly stars, you should emerge wiser, stronger and more confident. Those in touch with you will have to bow before your understanding and expertise.

You will put across your point of view with reason and competence. In a relationship, you have to be tolerant and set an example by being open and honest your intentions. It is praiseworthy, if you are cautious but do not be pessimistic.
