April 25

Do not count your chickens till they are hatched. Avoid gambling since there is little scope of the dice being cast favourably. You can expect some change for the better from July.

April 26

The year spells success as well as greater sweat and toil. You have reached the stage, where you cannot expect leisure. Success will depend on your ability to distinguish facts from fantasy. You will succeed only partially in your ventures. A free hand at work does not mean you should act arbitrarily. You will make headway between mid-June and mid-July.

There is an all-round achievement and the pace of life is gaining momentum. Stars that hold the key in your case are in a disoriented state. It will be a binding on you to be as thrifty as possible. This is a period of curtailment and not expansion. There is no fun in aiming at something that is beyond your reach. The sale-purchase of stocks can cause bewilderment. Despite cutting your personal needs, entertainment of guests, education of children and health care are some other areas likely to bother you.
