Born on

August 30
Favourable stars are hovering around your house of finance. Such a situation is rare. You will find opportunities to advance your career and social stature. Life will prosper from now on. You will establish your credentials as a high-ranking professional in November. Your sweet temper, flexibility and sense of humour will make life easy. A rival may become a benefactor after March. It is your turn to make a mark and flourish.

August 31
The uneasy situation you are in may not change in the near future. You may build castles in the air, but you won’t gain anything. You may win back a friend, ties with whom have soured. Your intentions to please others may be genuine but your method of tackling people may not be desirable. This may create problems. Have moderate goals.

September 1
Geminian Mars in the house of finance indicates an upbeat year. Life is bound to look up. You will be far ahead of your rivals and competitors. You will win friends and earn goodwill even from unfamiliar quarters also. This is also a good time for those interested in politics and contesting elections.

September 2
Your professional life calls for more hard work. Now is the time to implement plans, postponed due to funds’ crunch. Your energy and drive can push them further. You will continue to build up your stamina during the first quarter. All work and no relief may wear you out during the second. Don’t allow mistrust to hold you back during the third. You will live up to your reputation during the last one.

September 3
With a slow, weak and ill-sighted Mercury people around won’t take notice of what you say. Be cool even if they don’t honour their commitments and try to under-rate you. A modest attempt on your part may not be enough to get what you aim at. You need to adopt a better strategy to make your presence felt. Don’t overestimate your potential.

September 4
Expect a change for the better during this year. Things in store for you will be in line with your hopes and aspirations. Be optimistic, everything will turn out right. Life should be more colourful during the first quarter. A short but fascinating journey may enthuse you during the second. You will find yourself in good humour during the third. Your health could, however, cause some alarm during the last one.

September 5
Good time to establish your worth and receive the acclaim you deserve. An outstanding year in all
respects. Your plans will meet with abundant success during the first quarter. You will remain reasonably contented even with modest gains during the second. If in business, your plans will receive the backing of those concerned with it during the third. Don’t grudge what you do for others during the last phase.
