ARIES
You and your partner are going to be the numero uno couple. But don’t be too much of a perfectionist. The year begins with new assignments or contracts, which could grow in the next couple of months. You’ll come up with innovative ways to make money. If you’re connected with IT or engineering, you’ll surge ahead. Speculative gains in finance and funds will flourish but you must know when to stop. March, July and November might bring disturbance in plans. A property matter may get settled in your favour. Health problems could come from overindulgence. 

TAURUS
You are at your charming best. But former lovers can create trouble. A brief period of indiscretion or jealousy may ruin your state of bliss. The year will be satisfactory, though there will be a lot of work. There will be frequent travels in the first couple of months. Any public work you do will be well-received. You may see delays on the financial front. Close relatives may need help with money.

Students will have a busy year and from June, with extra effort, they can achieve wonderful results. 

Mid-year will bring opportunities for creative people. Skin allergies could give you problems this year. 

GEMINI
You fiercely protect your freedom. However flirtatious, you don’t like it when your partner plays the same game. But both of you are in a mood to forgive and forget. More storms and more romance lie ahead. You may travel more than usual. You may also get the confidence to confront unresolved issues. However, avoid speculation. It is a good time for those who are employed. A sudden turn of fortune in your favour will take place August onwards. There may be gains from investment in land or property. Take care of your diet as you might face stress-related problems. 

CANCER
Not one but two major suitors occupy your thoughts. A Venus person more than fits the bill, one who is proud of your creative streak and makes you feel cherished and safe. There will be success and income, as well as more professional satisfaction, in publishing, education, law and communication. Till July, refrain from entering risky ventures. Relations with siblings and other relatives may see challenges. You might be prone to irritation and get into confrontations. Some of you may expand your existing home or move into a new place.

LEO
Friends will be a source of joy, comfort and sometimes trouble. Don’t let a briefly tense situation deter you. Romance is in the air. So, once the problem is resolved, you will be in romantic bliss. This will be a good year — personally, professionally and socially. You may experience some delays and anxiety on the domestic front. It won’t be a good year for house-hunting or looking for new surroundings. Signing contracts, paperwork and travel plans may need caution. People in financial firms will find this period very favourable. Meditation may help you relax.

VIRGO
You are in a playful mood but try to resist the temptation to stray with a charming stranger met within a couple of months. Remain confident, don’t get shattered by a blow to your self-esteem. The first six months will see you rather busy keeping up with competition in business and career. Some of you may succeed in getting a foothold in the overseas market. Family elders may be a cause for concern. Quite a lot of money will be spent on unexpected matters. Litigation may also take up time. Physical problems could be tied to the throat, nose or tonsils, plus, the upper body.

LIBRA
Romantic ups and downs will keep you guessing. A dashing new partner promises so much — and delivers so little! You will be in the right place at the right time and just about everything you do will happen effortlessly. There will be an emphasis on career, business and ambition. You may obtain substantial loans or gain financially from relatives. Those in PR or advertising will make rapid progress.  But don’t let your guard down. You will encounter delays and restrictions in quarters you least expected. You need time this year to restore your physical energy. Pay attention to health.

SCORPIO
You have quite a lot going on beneath that formidable exterior. What you need is an exciting soulmate. If you ride out this turbulent period, you will find the effort well worth it. You are going to meet a more lasting love this time. The year kicks off with hectic activity and work pressure. There will be appreciation from seniors, promotion and overall satisfaction around September. Technocrats and manufacturers will find this time exceptionally favourable. Some of you will travel overseas on work. In July, there will be emphasis on selling and buying or settlement of a long-disputed property matter. This will be a good year for progress. Guard against anxiety. 

SAGITTARIUS
Juggling more than one partner is child’s play for you! But be a little cautious, let flirtation not go out of hand and lead to misunderstanding. 

July onwards you will see success. There will be some money to look forward to and you might consider branching out in diverse fields. You will get some career opportunities that are more consistent with your beliefs and outlook. Those who are employed may consider setting up their own enterprise. Personal or professional restrictions may make your work a little difficult. This year the emphasis seems to be on the eye. Start a good health regimen. 

CAPRICORN
After a slowish start, your romantic rendezvous will perk up. You are far too fragile to indulge in a casual affair now, reserve your candlelit dinners for a steady soulmate. Be alert about opportunities but do not get lured by quick-profit schemes. August will be a very fruitful month, though there will be a lot of hard work. From June to August, you may feel unusually dynamic and self-confident. You should be able to achieve much by acting decisively. Most of the financial tensions of the past will disappear with a sudden change in income. Focus on stomach problems. Women must go for a check-up.

AQUARIUS
The one who can hold your easily diverted attention will be your partner forever. However, tolerance is the one trait you both need to share. This year indicates a change in your working routine, perhaps a new job or an opportunity to pull yourself out of a rut. Be ready to meet interesting or learned people. It is time to get involved in some kind of writing. November and December are rewarding for creative work. If you are looking to move base or change residence, September is a favourable time. To avoid depression and a feeling of loneliness, keep yourself busy.

PISCES
A perfectionist to the core, you set impossibly high standards for yourself and your lover, and get depressed when reality fails to satisfy your lofty specs. A secret love enters your sphere and if you insist on your usual self then you’ve nothing to lose but a few memorable moments. Several fresh offers, better finance and professional growth will put you in a position where you can dictate your terms. You may be moving towards earning money in a way that is more suited to you. It is likely that your stable financial position may attract foes. Take extra care when you are on the road, no drink driving, for example.
