Born on

August 10

A Sun-Ketu combine, sighted by Neptune, is preparing you for bigger trial of strength. Expect a major surge in your energy level. You will be tempted to push against those who have been trying to hold you back or are encroaching upon your rights. You may face some resistance in the beginning but it will be smooth sailing later. Your beneficial stars are so powerful that your opponents will be forced to withdraw.

August 11

A majority of persons born on this day are in a state of flux. They will find themselves being drawn into a dull social or professional circle. Trivial events will be blown out of proportion, while important issues will be relegated to the background. It will be better if they could align themselves with like-minded people. They should not get involved in anything that smacks of dishonesty, no matter how harmless the people involved might appear to be.

August 12

Mars, your favourable planet, is strong enough to give you the freedom to deal with your own affairs and of others. The best time to give a new turn to your life will be after November. A celebration that had been postponed earlier could materialise after January. Some more friends would like to jump into your bandwagon after March. A health problem could, suddenly arise during the last phase.

August 13

Mercury, your prime star, is encouraging you to be ready for a bold resolve. You will face no opposition from those concerned with your performance. Your wisdom, experience and maturity will enable you to manage the show. An opportunity to acquire a new skill. It can turn the tables in your favour.

August 14

Your pensive mood notwithstanding, the overall trend of events is favourable. A long awaited celebration will be a welcome change from routine. Your main concern shall revolve around your social life. Your personality will have a magnetic effect on everyone you meet. Your most exciting period is the end part when you are likely to take on more you can handle.

August 15

A year when various activities knock at you door. The most notable among them are the demands of your loved ones that will be drawing your attention off and on. You will feel as if you are being surrounded with a heavy agenda and have no option but to clear it. The best course is to re-plan and recast your priorities. Efforts to seek help from other quarters may not succeed. Opt only for what you are best at.

August 16

Due to a combust Saturn, the year opens on a hectic note. You may be stressed. The stars governing your economy are in a frivolous mood. You will remain in a tight position for a long time. Less leisure and more labour in the first quarter. Friends and associates are in no mood to cooperate during the second. The developments may fail to live up to your expectations during the third. Austerity measures could, however, save the situation during the last one.
