Higher education and overseas connections are the areas where you will make some progress. A new idea will catch your fancy during the first quarter. You will put up a good show during the second. If a sportsperson, you could achieve new heights during the third. An unexpected long travel seems possible during the last one.

December 26

With the Libran moon in the house of income, a new dawn is on its way. You will gain importance, both professionally and personally. The best period for making a headway is between mid-January and mid-March. You will associate with people who are sober, generous and accommodating during June-July. A unique opportunity will come your way during August. If you are alert and vigilant, you will pave the way for a prosperous future.

December 27

You will have to endure more sweat and toil before your merit is recognised. Your work will need more patience and stamina. Your trump card could turn out to be an exercise in futility. You have a tendency to act before you are ready to meet the challenge. You are advised to mend this habit before it is too late. If you just ignore it, you will face some unpleasant situation.

December 28

Enthusiasm and spontaneity are your virtues. You need to maintain your reputation. Good fortune is about to strike you. A well balanced year. You will act wisely and reap full benefits of the opportunities coming your way. You should preserve your energy to carry out important obligations instead of wasting on trivial matters. A flexible attitude to move with the times will stand you in good stead. This is no time to sit back and rest on your laurels.

December 29

A year with a wide range of activities. Workload will be comparatively heavier than you have experienced so far. You may be unable to tackle the tasks lying before you. You are advised not to entrust your work to anyone else. You will do so at the cost of your reputation. You will have to meet whatever challenges come your way. The time from January onwards is professionally rewarding. Your mood will change for the better and your confidence will increase by leaps and bounds.

December 30

Time to play the good Samaritan and contribute to a human cause and cheer those facing averse circumstances. Good deeds done now will be reciprocated later. Your stars advise you to take things slowly. You should appraise your contacts, especially the new ones, to avoid bickering later. Chances are you will get a raw deal from a newcomer but do not make it an issue. A flexible attitude on your part is necessary to avoid a showdown.

December 31

Expenditure will keep increasing. Your financial stars are in dire straits. You need to restrict your expenditure and be thrifty. You are advised to tread with caution, especially when handling finances. This period is not opportune for lending, borrowing or indulging in the sale and purchase of stocks.
