September 17 to September 23

Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Mars sighted by the inimical Saturn predicts tough period. Your strength is work that needs to be toned up. Work hard to reap rich results later.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

You can easily bank on a Virgoan or a Libran. A tie-up with a Cancerian or a Piscean is an exercise in futility.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

All work and no play may keep you in a foul mood. Avoid overstretching yourself beyond a limit. Be choosy and concentrate on what is inevitable.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

A period of entertainment and merry-making. You have ample options at your disposal. Loved ones could also be won over without exerting much.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

The road leading to your goal is not too smooth. For health and general fitness, also, this is not a significant period.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

You will use all tactics and ploys to find your way through thorny financial disarray. You will have to bear the present financial crunch for little longer.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Those who have been giving you false hopes could show their true colours. Tell them what you feel about them.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

With the dominant Mars on ascendancy, you will do well professionally. There is no harm in interacting with those younger in age or experience.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

Social adventure seems to be your best pastime. You will be on the lookout for new friends. A commitment that has become a burden could be abandoned.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

You are convinced that you are infallible. You will succeed in impressing others. If you stick to your guns, you will never taste defeat.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Be cautious with your hard-earned money. This is not the right time for lending or indulging in extravagance.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

There will be a sumptuous increase in your earnings. If pursuing a romantic goal, keep an open mind to win the favour of your sweetheart.

September 17

An energetic Mars forming its visual with a dragonhead is likely to cause confusion. Some unexpected events could crop up suddenly. Don’t be surprised if the situation remains muddled or disorderly for some time. Time is ripe to take facts into account with great care. You could be saddled with an unwelcome responsibility. Your friends will misunderstand and misinterpret your intentions. You can expect a little turn around after the new year rings in.

September 18

Pay attention to work even if it exhausts you. New contacts should inspire you and make you optimistic. Much will depend on your self-confidence. The more you will confide in yourself, the more you will be in the limelight. You may lose your cool often during the first quarter. Your social life will be in full bloom during the second. Don’t involve yourself in more than one activity during the third. You will be considered a reliable worker during the last one.

September 19

A Mars-Mercury combine moving at the same wavelength may cause disappointment. The agenda before you will tire you. The problems you think you have solved could raise their heads again. Avoid speculation or indulging in the sale-purchase of stocks. You will remain in two minds and may fail to take decisions. You can expect some gain in your deals during the end part.

September 20

Romantic enterprises will get a boost for the unmarried. You will come out of your shell and spread your charm and goodwill around . November and December are favourable for gaining recognition in the area you are wedded to. You will strive for excellence during February-March. There should be no dearth of love, laughter and merriment from May. It is not wise to push yourself too hard during the end part and face health hazards.

September 21

A propitious time for playing the good Samaritan. You will also feel inclined to extend consolation and relief to one of your intimate friends, who has fallen on hard days. Your friends will appreciate your role as a morale-booster. The right time for performing noble acts will be from October. Business matters will remain on your mind during November-December. You must not, however, exert beyond a certain limit during February-March. It can cause you some discomfort.

September 22

With the dominant Venus in the limelight, there is no possibility of any hold-up or delay in your pursuit of excellence. Many of you are likely to reach the top and live up to your reputation. If going through a restless phase, settled atmosphere will prevail and provide satisfaction. If single and eligible, an amorous affair is likely to materialise. Your travel stars look rewarding. If married, there is a strong possibility of an addition to your family after September. There should be no dearth of joy after the new year rings in.

September 23

There can be a mild threat to your financial stability. Switch over to a life of austerity and thriftiness. Lead a life of simple living and high thinking. Your tendency to spend lavishly may soar during the first quarter. You will splash your funds without worrying about the consequences during the second. Cash will come in a staggering manner during the third. Attend to your health during the end part.
