Born on

July 17

There seems to be little scope for relaxation. Despite the inconvenience, you will continue to shoulder the onerous task assigned to you. You should realise that you should not go beyond a certain limit and face a health-hazard in lieu thereof. Your stars are likely to put stress on your health during September-October. A long travel may tire you during November-December. Don’t allow yourself to be carried away by gossips and rumour during March-April.

July 18

The debilitated Moon, associated with the retrograde Pluto, reveals that an expensive phase will trap you. Your resolve to keep your finances under control may collapse. Despite effort, there will be no increase in your income. If you want to strike a good bargain, the chances of making a reasonably profitable bid are remote. You will be more interested in spending than saving during October-November. All that is needed is a little shift in your attitude, which may prompt you to safeguard your funds cautiously.

July 19

With the dignified Mars in the limelight, it is now your turn to sparkle. A promising financial opportunity will be within your reach. You will face new challenges but would like to act more cautiously. Life can be more thrilling and purposeful during the first quarter. A joyous ceremony may await you during the second. The emphasis will be on love, laughter and relaxation during the third. You will find a much greater scope to extend the area of your influence and authority during the last one.

July 20

Mercury on his way to ascendancy will overwhelm you with engagements one after another. Your commitment to a cause and fulfillment of social obligations are some of the drawbacks that you will hold you back. You will be tempted to change your mind more often. An indecent action on the part of your rival can weigh heavily on your mind. You need to be cautious with the people you work with, especially during the end part.

July 21

Barring a few stray incidents, the overall trend of events goes in your favour. Your main concern is your social life and time has come when you will choose some like-minded people to stand by you. Do whatever is possible to promote your relations with the people around. September-October are the best months for you. November is a tricky month with finances. Your travel stars will remain uncertain during February-March. Avoid undependable friends during the last part of the year.

July 22

There is so much unusual planetary activity around your solar chart that it will become difficult for you to distinguish important items from the insignificant ones. There will be a change in the way you act. The results, although slow, can pick up before the year advances further. The tasks you have finished may need a second look. Fresh choices will come your way from October. October-November are not very promising. You can expect much better results from April.

July 23

A spell of good luck should be on its way. The period is good for socialising and merry making. You stand a much better chance of earning and learning. You can safely set your mind on fresh ideas and ambitions which have remained unexplored so far. The key time to prove your worth may start from August. Excessive work could, however, cause you some discomfort during September-October. Your ability to consolidate your gains will touch new heights from January onwards. Everything that happens now will be in your best interest.
