Born on

July 13
Your stars indicate a major windfall. With all the planets right from the ascendant seated in positions of strength, the situation has changed for the better. All those born on this day are lucky. Now is the time for them to deliver the goods. You will ride on the wings of luck during the first quarter. New ideas will stir your imagination during the second. A benefit that was withdrawn earlier could be restored during the latter half.

July 14
A dominant moon is encouraging you to stretch yourself to the limit. If you are contesting an election, success is assured. Too much mobility may tire you during the first quarter. You will push yourself too hard during the second. A long and pleasant journey on cards during the third. You will gain more power during the last phase.

July 15
An action-oriented year. You will be confronted with high volume of work. A tendency to fritter away your energy will upset the balance. Don’t let others exploit you. Trusting strangers could also cost you heavily. You will be walking on a tightrope. As August gets underway, you may have to spend lavishly against your wishes. Partnerships, if any, will be problematic during September-October. If some adventure is on the agenda, wait for a while. You are, however, not going to look back from January onwards.

July 16
A majority of the planets firmly placed in the signs of their choice suggest that once you make up your mind, you will stick to your decisions. You can expect a smooth and stimulating professional life sans pressure or interference. Don’t let partners or friends take you for granted as Mercury, the key star controlling your destiny at the moment, has gone combust. The dent caused by Mercury is just temporary. Lady luck will start smiling on you after December.

July 17
With a Moon-Jupiter combine, the new year would be a lucky period. The current combination is beneficial. With your self-confidence high and personal affairs moving in the right direction, you may lead a carefree life. You will gain experience through social encounters and long journeys, including some foreign ones. The year is also profitable to strike bargains.

July 18
But for a brief period, when you will have to pay a little more attention to home and family matters, a major part of the year is normal and tension free. It will, however, be a little hard for most of you to afford amenities and comforts. Despite an increase in your responsibilities, you will keep a cool head and reduce professional tensions. Your stars advise you to take care of your health.

July 19
You are known for your gracious attitude but remember too much familiarity breeds contempt. Keep this in mind, when you are interacting with strangers. In relationships the current planetary alliance does not allow you to go beyond a certain limit with the people you deal with. If you are active in outdoor life, sports or other competitive enterprises, this is a special year for your career.
