Your health and capacity to work may be dimmed during the first quarter. The odds may puzzle you during the second. You could be caught in a tricky situation during the third. You will find events turning in your favour during the last one.

January 15

A fairly balanced and harmonious year. You will be acting wisely and taking advantage of the opportunities that fall within your purview. You have a lot to do but it will be ideal if you don’t push yourself too hard. Whatever you do will depend on the upkeep and preservation of your stamina. Even if you take a small risk, it will turn out to be a blessing in disguise, sooner or later.

Enjoy to your heart’s content whatever Lady Luck throws into your lap. You could win the heart of your soulmate or a friend. Your personality will have a magnetic effect on others. At work, too, you will impress everybody. You have to take reasonable interest in household life. Travel stars, however, are not positive. Hence no risk should be taken while travelling.

January 17

Should your friends, associates or even acquaintances attempt to derive undue favours from you, check them and do not allow them to wear you out. Lending money to an undeserving person could be another cause of discontent. It seems someone has tried to mislead you and put you on the wrong track. This is the time to act with your eyes wide open.

Your creative enthusiasm will subdue your doubts and fears. Although you seem to be keen to follow the dictates of your conscience, one of your associates could mislead you.

Try to steer clear of the promises you cannot keep during October-November.

April promises to be a lucrative month for you. The plans you put forth now will be far more lucrative than ever before.

January 20

The New Year will see you riding high. You will stretch yourself beyond your normal capacity but you must realise that too much of everything is bad. Restrict your pace a little. A sensitive situation is likely to upset you during March. You will be more active, enterprising and painstaking in your professional life. If you are an artist, you should be on a much better footing to receive accolades for your noteworthy performance.
