February 12 to February 18

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

There will be an upsurge in income. You could lay your hands on easy money. If interested in the sale and purchase of stocks, you could multiply your riches.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

If you hit two birds with a stone, it could prove to be counter-productive. Do not be too ambitious or over-enthusiastic. Rome was not built in a day.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

Forgive and forget should be your line of action. What caught your fancy during the past would appear to be a wild goose chase. Make your target clear.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

It is difficult to gauge your mood. You may be exceptionally jovial or may stretch the patience of your associates. An extravagant outing is on the cards.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

A period full of love, laughter and joy. Stars governing your social life may encourage you to forge new contacts and strengthen old ties.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

Business-oriented Virgoans will ride on a lucky wave. They will expand their professional pursuits in a big way. Wednesday could be a significant day.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Venus will add lustre to your love life. You may be shy and sensible but that should not hold you from doing your best to win the heart of your lover.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

Life will bring much glamour. Artists or sportspersons will be in the limelight. They will miss no opportunity to cash in on the opportunities.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Things will move at a snail’s pace. You should not be reluctant to face reality. Do not sweep apprehensions under the carpet. Try to control job-related stress.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

The dominant Saturn is a key player in most of your enterprises. An excellent week to enjoy life. The only snag is that this may mean a lot of expenditure.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

You could be let down by someone close to you and who can influence your career plans. Be careful of unscrupulous people on Friday and Saturday.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

A Cancerian will stand by you during the hour of need. Your craze to join hands with a Virgoan or a Libran should be avoided at all costs.

Born on

February 12

Your adventurous spirit is about to come down sharply. It is time to hold the key for future prosperity. You will turn a new leaf of your life. The new arrangement you have stepped into will pay rich dividends. You will reap the reward for your kind deeds. The Aquarian sun surrounded by benefic stars holds ample promise to make you happy. If in the run for an election, you will create a new record.

February 13

An action-packed year. Despite disorderly conditions at work, you will be able to carry the show without any hindrance. You will have to take extra pains to put yourself around but you will not lag behind in the pursuit of excellence. The lustrous moon in direct aspect with the sun heralds a period of change that will help you to build up your professional or political strengths. Your readiness to adjust yourself to the new set up will make your going strong. Hard work coupled with strong discipline may come as a shot in your arm.

February 14

There is no reason why you should not look ahead, think big and act big. Many major stars are hovering around your ascendant. A trip down the memory lane would be a good idea to look more relaxed. Association with children will be heartening. June and July are good for consolidating your financial position. Sticking to your guns in the face of opposition will establish the strength of your character during September-October. You will take more time to distinguish facts from fantasy. There will be no looking back.

February 15

Expenditure on family and home will be manifold. Do not count much on other’s generosity. There is a great risk in the operation of your funds, so if you speculate or gamble in any way, keep stakes to sums you could afford to lose. The planets Mars and Jupiter being dominant could enthuse you to work hard to obtain new qualifications and make yourself more efficient at work.

February 16

The current year will hold many surprises. A flexible readiness making you quite adept at adopting new ideas will be appreciated. What you decide or do could have a lasting influence on the course of events. With a Saturn on the backtrack all that glitters should be taken at its face value. It is possible you may neglect work for pleasure or if in service, may invite the disfavour of your superiors.

February 17

The race to win a place of honour in your circle will continue unabated. How much you achieve through this unhealthy competition, however, invites a big question mark. You will be tempted to change your mind too often. You will feel diffident to try your luck in the field where you have been unlucky to taste defeat during the recent past. Your friends are unlikely to stand by you in need.

February 18

The coming year is a mixed one. It shows you will be altering your way of life as your outlook develops. You will realise that either your views are outdated or that you have outgrown them. It is, however, up to you to choose which of them need to be retained or done away with. Get routine work and commitments channelised so that you are not bogged down in tedious jobs at the cost of important ones. Efficient streamlining is a dire necessity which should not be lost sight of.
