Aries
[ March 21 to April 20 ]

Don’t be in a hurry and think everything should work out as planned. You may tire yourself without gaining anything. Tuesday is expensive.

Taurus
[ April 21 to May 20 ]

This week you will be full of love, laughter and hospitality. Those who have shunned your company will have to revise their opinion.

Gemini
[ May 21 to June 21 ]

With the domestic costs escalating, you will remain at the receiving end. Laxity in financial matters can upset the apple cart.

Cancer
[ June 22 to July 22 ]

For a majority of Cancerians good times are near. The emphasis during this week should be on entertainment, sports and hobbies. Meet the world head-on.

Leo
[ July 23 to Aug 22 ]

Due to an excellent stellar influence there is no cause for any grouse. Those who have ignored you would rally around you.

Virgo
[ Aug 23 to Sept 22 ]

With Mercury having gone combust, your rivals can steal a march on you. Don’t be taken in by unrealistic promises of fair-weather friends. Face the future carefully.

Libra
[Sept 23 to Oct 22 ]

Everything hinges on Venus, your sign star, you can confidently depend upon at the moment. Your efficiency could astound even your critics.

Scorpio
[Oct 23 to Nov 22 ]

A dominant Mars may lend a strong fillip to your energy and enthusiasm. You will be at your best fighting for your rights.

Sagittarius
[ Nov 23 to Dec 22]

A golden opportunity is near for work-oriented Sagittarians. Jupiter could help in settling problems.

Capricorn
[Dec 23 to Jan 20]

Your financial fortunes look fickle. You may juggle funds by taxing Peter to pay Paul. This can turn tables on those who have done nothing to annoy you.

Aquarius
[ Jan 21 to Feb 19 ]

Your proximity to the seat of power notwithstanding, you will remain weighed down due to expenditure. Your investment may fail to yield the returns you want.

Pisces
[Feb 20 to March 20 ]

In the incoming week you may be more mobile than ever before. Don’t expect the tedium to diminish so soon.

July 20

The planetary activity in your chart is in the top gear. Sun and Mars are in favourable regions of your solar chart. At home and at work, while selling or purchasing, you will not lag behind. The emphasis will shift towards new modes of learning and earning money. Career-seekers will cover more ground after December. You must take sometime off during March-April. Keep a strict watch on your wallet, especially during the end part.

July 21

With the descending moon in the eighth house, the situation is not likely to change in the near future. You may think big but there is little hope. There is, however, a remote chance of winning over an old friend, who has gone out of your circle. Your intentions to please others may be genuine but your methods of tackling people may not be up to the mark. Hence the result of your efforts will be just eyewash.

July 22

A praiseworthy year for socialising and merry making. You will consolidate gains and pave the way for a better tomorrow. Good relations at work are your main aim. You will also remain vigilant that your efforts are utilised and not wasted. You will turn a rival into a sincere friend. Keep pending an adventurous activity. A rewarding journey is on the cards during the last quarter.

July 23

A progressive period, intended to draw out your best. What is baffling for others can prove a shot in the arm for you. With each passing day, you will win friends and earn goodwill in your circle and also from unfamiliar quarters. Partners and colleagues you deal with will be glad to offer you assistance. It is also a buoyant year to be out and about. August, however, is ominous for undertaking a long journey.

July 24

Your social diary will remain full for a major part of the year. At times, you will feel overburdened and may have to postpone or cancel a couple of minor engagements. You will be paying special attention to a friend whom you have ignored for a long time. Expect some pleasant happenings during November-December. The period from March onwards is also good to pave way for your future success. You are not in a mood to scale down your expectations. Be prepared for a pleasant surprise.

July 25

Amid misunderstanding at home anticipate strained feelings. Flexibility and your readiness to accommodate inmates is your plus point. Due to your ruling planet Venus, the situation may not get out of hand. Avoid shopping sprees unless convinced those purchases are actually the need of the hour. No point in fixing your eye on something out of reach.

July 26

With a Mars - Saturn collaboration, your concern revolves around home, family, children and reorganising your working schedule. Despite some urgent family obligations, don’t allow your poise to be disturbed. Move cautiously as this could leave you feeling on edge for the reasons you have no control over. A few generous gestures on your part may deplete your funds. An alarming rise in your daily expenditure may give you sleepless nights from January onwards.
