August 9
Your professional stars are buoyant in the incoming year. You will stand by the side of friends and kin in need. Your social life may drain funds. A surprise visit to a place of your choice and a chance encounter with a dignitary on the cards after December. It will be wrong to ignore friends and fight your battle alone.

August 10
A descending moon associated with Uranus will cause confusion. Your tendency to blame wrong persons for things that go wrong is not good. The best course is to wait and watch. Keep your feet on the ground and distinguish between facts and fantasy. To play safe should be your first priority. Resist the temptation to make quick money.

August 11
With the dawn of the new year, a comfortable and heart-warming period ahead. Most auspicious time to widen your activities. New ventures, socialising and recreational activities will be high agenda. You will be in love with life and keen to develop relations with people from different strata of society. You will continue to function with a smile.

August 12
Be careful of too much intimacy with people you are not sure of. Current planetary position does not allow you to go beyond a limit in relationships. Be extra cautious with the people you live or work with. Under the circumstances say ‘no’ to gossip-mongers and utilise your time.

August 13
A lively year to bring sparkle to life. You will opt for long-term gains. Reciprocate goodwill gestures by friends. The time is ripe to get what you have been after. Expect a spate of good news during the first quarter. You may be tempted to go on a spending spree during the second. You may have to change your priorities during the third. Excessive work can bring discomfort during the last one.

August 14
An exciting year with lot of pleasant surprises. Some pleasing news and a long-awaited recreational programme are main attractions of the new year. Your plans may be hailed during the first quarter. You will gain through the goodwill of friends during the second. You will have to make special efforts to get your merit recognised during the third. Your health needs care during the last one.

August 15
Domestic irritants and financial constraints may keep you in a tight corner. Some people at work may not agree with you and cause displeasure. Don’t get provoked and lose your cool. Replace thoughts of revenge by a resolve to forget and forgive. A lucrative offer could be withdrawn because of your indifferent attitude. So remain humble, polite and accommodating.
