BE OPEN TO YOURWEAKNESSESWhile showing your strengthsat your workplace is a positivestep, be open to your weak-nesses as well. We are a mixedbag, no one is good at every-thing. If you know that youare bad with numbers, you canask your co-workers to have alook at your calculations. Thatrectification would only helpyou become accurate andmore confident. If you thinkyou have done the calculations

and have overcome one ofyour weaknesses, give your-self a reward as simple as yourfavourite chocolate.

THINK BEFORE YOUSPEAKThink before uttering yourwords. One usually ends upbecoming rude and harsh. Re-member, everyone worksequally as much as you do. “Ihave an experience of 12 yearsin entrepreneurship and haveseen many new faces comeand go. It was very difficult in

the beginning to work anddeal with them and get angry.Gradually, I realised that I toohave been through thisphase,” says Aashka Pandit.If you face any kind of harshtreatment from your col-league, returning the harsh-ness back would only spoilyour relation. That does notmean that you repress speak-ing up even when needed, buthandle the situation calmlyand peacefully.

APPRECIATE YOURSELFBegin your day at office with a‘Yes, I can do it!’ attitude. “Ifyou end up meeting a deadlineperfectly, treat yourself. In fo-cusing on all that is negative,don’t forget about the posi-tives. Appreciate yourself forthe good work you’ve put inand learn to give yourself apat on the back every now andthen,” says Dr. Rajesh Goyal, aconsultant psychiatrist. Thiswill help boost up your self-confidence.

DIVERT YOUR ANGERWhen you feel angry, one of thebest ways to tackle the situationis to divert your attention tosomething else. Pick up a news-paper from the rack and startsolving puzzles. This wouldhelp you divert your mood to apleasant one. The logic and rea-soning that you would usewhile solving it, would tap yournegative energy and you wouldfeel rejuvenated.

Aries (Mar 20 - Apr 18)You need to be quite cautious in yourapproach to everyone for the next fewweeks, as the conjunction of Jupiterand Rahu will create a lack of clari-ty in your mind. Your judgement willbe clouded due to illusions and errorsin analysis of the situation, whichcould affect your work or businessdecisions.With Mars retrograde backin Libra and aspecting your sign, youshall regain confidence but will also

transits. You need to watch your health and avoid eat-ing out, as you shall be prone to stomach upsets andinfections. Those in the banking or finance industrymight face a challenging task for the next few weeks.Be patient – things will improve in a few months,whenRahu and Jupiter separate.

Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 21)Budgeting and expenditures arelikely to go out of control, since un-planned but necessary expensesmight come up. You might experi-ence severe financial constraintsdespite having good business or-ders. Customers not paying on timecould add to your woes.

Leo (Jul 22 - Aug 21)Despite hostile planetary align-ments, retrograde Mars changeshouses, which brings out your abil-ity to fight back and surmount chal-lenging situations. Any conversa-tions that need to be had, you musttry and have now. Your mind is muchmore active, and this can be good formental projects and intellectual pur-suits. You need to stay busy, though,otherwise the mental activity will

lead to anxiety. You shall have more conversationsabout your career and the direction that your life isgoing in. Think about these and what your goals are,and how you can get from where you are to whereyou want to be.

Virgo (Aug 22 - Sep 20)The stars are well aligned for youto socialise. You might be involvedin social activities or invited tospeak at seminars.

crease and there might be more communicationwith people from different cultures. This is a timewhen you may come up with big ideas and workon devising a plan to make them happen.

STAR BIRTHDAYS

Gemini (May 20 - Jun 20)There is no doubt that Venus inyour sign makes you more fondof the good things in life thanyou normally are. In the com-pany of the Sun, you are moreattracted to being in the lime-light. Your creativity surges, andyou can take a creative approachto matters and projects. Youhave more energy for fun in-stead of work, and have a hard

time focusing on your responsibilities. Try totake as much time off as you can, or give your-self time to do what pleases you. Right now, Marsenters your romance sector, which makes youmore flirty. If single, you will have the chanceto meet new suitors. If committed, you can re-ignite the flame in the relationship.

favour you now as your planswill not materialise and peopleyou trust will either let you downor not be able to help you. Thisis not the best of times to pick afight with anyone. This can be agood time for writing and speak-ing. It’s a good time to look in-ward and reflect upon deep psy-chological truths.

Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)Mars has now entered your 12thhouse, and you’re driven to re-treat and reflect. Being aroundother people can be draining toyou right now, and you prefer be-ing alone. Working alone is whenyou have the best energy, and youwant to be out of the spotlightand working behind the sceneswhere no one will notice you.Make sure you give yourself

plenty of time to rest, replenish and recover soyou’re ready for when transit Mars enters yourfirst house and life gets hectic. It may be a goodtime to clarify and explain an issue to someonewith whom you are intimately associated in dai-ly life, such as your spouse or partner. With Venusmoving through your eighth house, you can bemore intimate now and your sexual desire isheightened too.

Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 22)

Personal details about your lifemight become public, and thiscould catch you off guard. It’llprobably be minor things and youwill be able to handle it. Do notoverreact. Don’t initiate some-thing new because of it. Just playeverything low-key. Push to in-teract with others, because theseinteractions will benefit you.Theresponse you elicit from those

with you are involved with will be particularly im-portant to you, as it is your response which will ei-ther allay or intensify your insecurities. You at-tempt to safeguard your relationship by overlook-ing your own needs and focusing instead upon thoseof your partne.

Capricorn (Dec 23 - Jan 19)Travel is a distinct possibility now.Situations seem-ingly locked in place suddenly crack under theirown pressure. With some sudden developments, a

new set of possibilities becomeevident, and a new track must bechosen. Dreams and intuitionswill guide you through your prob-lems.Your popularity is set to rise,but so is jealousy against peoplewho are making plans to toppleyou and damage your reputation.However,nothing of that sort willhappen,though you may get some

disturbing news.By Thursday,events shall be pret-ty much under your control.

Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)This is a great opportunity to re-organize and re-evaluate the wayyou use your time. Sort out yourpriorities. Decide what is reallyimportant for you to accomplishthis week, and you’re sure tomake headway sooner than lat-er.Something arriving in the mailoffers a terrific opportunity, butbe sure to get intelligent advicebefore accepting.Attending a par-

ty on the weekend brings an introduction to some-one who could play a significant role in your fu-ture. Opportunities arise, so promote your ideas –they are good ones. It’s a chance to bring those proj-ects you’ve been working on out in the limelight.Who knows where it could lead? You’re in a greatmood and you want everyone to be part of it. Thismeans getting together with friends or loved ones,and shoving all your worries and concerns to theback of your mind for the time being.

Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 19)Your sense of loyalty could cre-ate problems when someoneyou trust tries to take advan-tage of your generosity. Forgivethem and carry on. Your bosscould drive you nuts with sense-less demands and nonsense –you don’t have to take it. Thenext few days could bring somesocial strain, but you can han-

dle tensions by sticking to your meditation.Get out and enjoy some vigorous exercise. Ifthe weather’s too bad to enjoy the outdoors, goto a local gym for a workout. An attractive mem-ber of the opposite sex secretly has eyes foryou, but watch out because this person is mar-ried. You’re seeking personal recognition aswell as financial rewards.
