Do not remain under the illusion that the grass is greener elsewhere. The present situation is just a passing phase and there is scope for a better tomorrow.

Your egoistic nature, because of which you tend to look down upon people, needs to be curbed. You may be the best but refrain from boasting about it.

Born on

May 21
You may be going through one of your intellectually alert phases. The strength of your ideas and the level of your understanding will rule supreme. Unexpected encounters and surprise invitations will pave the way for improving your credibility. Your stars present a rosy picture. Something inspiring is on the way. Long-cherished dreams will lighten your mood. You will be well-equipped to face competition and emerge victorious. November and December indicate heavy spending and mismanagement at the domestic level.

May 22
An average year ahead. There may be difficulty in keeping pace with the progress achieved earlier. Though you will not allow anyone to push you back, you must try to develop some more confidence. At home, you may be forced to surrender a little ground. There will be additional work but that will not go waste. Do not waste time in idle pursuits.

May 23
A year of promise. You can expect unstinted cooperation, organised teamwork and a rewarding social life. You will continue to march on road to prosperity. If looking for a bride, you will stand a much better chance of captivating your dream mate. Friends and relatives will be more responsive. Your charitable deeds will be appreciated. You will be full of energy.

May 24
Your strategy to smarten up your economy needs appraisal. You may be tempted to splash funds. Pressure of increased spending may put you on tenterhooks. Keep ambitious plans under the wraps. A combust Mercury, sighted by a Cancerian Mars, is a negative influence. You will feel you are not getting the attention you deserve. You should be conscious of your adversaries and of the need to neutralise them. You are advised not to show off.

May 25
A lively year ahead. Social horizons will expand and you will brim with optimism. You try to learn something new. The time to rise to the occasion will be around October. You will identify yourself with a popular cause during November-December. Outspokenness will be a deterrent during March. Keep an open mind during the last quarter.

May 26
A companionable period. Your doubts and misunderstanding about friends will be subdued. You will realise that you can ill-afford to lose a friend on frivolous grounds. With the new year surging in and with the Moon and Venus getting closer, you will revive a troubled relationship. Time to build bridges and mend fences. Shyness, however, needs to be checked.

May 27
Forget sentiment and romance. A period for serious deliberation. Life can get better if you concentrate on improving relationships. Your energy levels are likely to dip slightly. Welcome every opportunity to sit down and relax for a change. Keep a close watch on your purse strings. Unless you are very careful about your economy, you are likely to end in the red.
