Born on

July 23

With the Cancerian Sun accompanied by the dignified moon, the road l towards your goal is clear. There are no holdups to bind you. Professional and domestic plans should sail smoothly. The entertainer in you could also attend upon your guests and friends quite gracefully. A clear-headed approach to a thorny problem will be hailed during the first quarter. If in service, you will move one step upwards during the second. Anyone who puts hurdles in your way will have to concede defeat during the third. Be wary of strangers during the last one.

July 24

A sluggish and tardy year ahead. Exorbitant expenditure may baffle you. You will find it hard to keep pace with the progress achieved earlier. Avoid the company of aggressive people and try to make amends for the past lapses. A declining Moon in the twelfth house may burden you with additional work. Your social life will cause stress due to uncalled for liabilities. It is time to be on the alert before you allow the events to run into rough weather. A surprise gain will, however, brighten up your mood during the later half.

July 25

A smooth year ahead. You will remain preoccupied with domestic matters. Keep your priorities clear. You may find that an opportunity has just slipped out of your hands. Children could be a source of great satisfaction during the first quarter. Avoid being drawn into disputes during the second. The expenditure on health could prove too heavy for your purse during the third. You will be rewarded during the last one.

July 26

You will stick to what you believe is right. Avoid legal and moral complications. You will have to take the blame if things go wrong. Partners must be made aware of your plans else they will oppose you. You will duck out of social obligations during the third. You will use your discretion during the end part.

July 27

You will pass through one of your gainful periods. There is little chance of anything going wrong if you keep your eyes open. You will enter a phase in which you will be prepared to forget the past and face the future with determination. Each difficulty you have experienced in the recent past will turn out to be worth the trouble suffered by you. You should limit your activities to achieve better results during the second half.

July 28

Mars and Venus in close proximity may see you squeezed between professional and mundane obligations. You will splash funds as if there is no tomorrow. Acting first and deliberating at a later stage has been the main characteristic of your attitude. Be careful with money. As November gets underway, your self-confidence will be on trial. ‘Cut your coat according to your cloth’ should be your watchword.

July 29

You have to give and take. Unless you sweat and toil, you may be hit hard by obstacles. In love, at work and at home, you must go ahead with confidence and a realisation that you cannot lag behind in your efforts. You will work hard to bring out the best in you. You will work hard and may also enjoy what you do. You will derive more satisfaction in encouraging others rather than pushing yourself.
