ASTROLOGY: What your stars have to tell!

What does your future look like? Astrologer Nastur Daruvala looks at the stars and tell you just that!

Aries (March 21 to April 20)

Ganesha says, you switch from the relationship-rich period of the last few weeks to professional concerns. Personal associations have been supportive on the road to material success, but you now realise that renewed efforts are required to push ahead.

Rewards, promotions and other material gains pour in and you even begin to feel smug and self-satisfied in all this adulation.

Spouse / lover / children / parents / servants / helpers look to you for direction and you provide it.

Mother's Day: Tell Your Mom How Much You Love Her!

Taurus (April 21 to May 21)

This is a pleasant phase. You have delivered virtuoso performances in both the important sectors of your life -- home and work.

You are the toast of everyone, the blue-eyed boy / girl and also the centre of envy. Your confidence and chutzpah, combined with your good heart, helps you negotiate these dangerous waters and emerge victorious.

But this is not all, says Ganesha.

Another trend overlaps -- finances engage your attention too. Funds, loans, rentals and leases, or MOUs. Demand your attention.

Gemini (May 22 to June 21)

A whole new trend begins this week and Ganesha predicts that it will definitely be the main theme in August too.

It involves the evolution of your fast-moving, impulsive nature into a calmer, more sober one in which you develop a love for humanitarian activities.

No half-measures here, as you go all out to share your resources with the underprivileged. You are at the forefront, making things happen at home, work and in the community. You go about getting things done, whether it is helping new people adjust to the workplace or introducing new methods of functioning.

You are socially and environmentally aware and also very humane.

Cancer (June 22 to July 23)

The successful pursuit of your goals requires out of the box thinking and you whole-heartedly accept the challenges that confront you.

Ganesha motivates you to seek greener pastures. You could be busy with funds / bonds, negotiations and deals, a job change or even a surge in responsibilities (should be accompanied by promotions and privileges).

You could be also looking out for collaborations, partnerships and even dealerships. As a carry over from last week, you may still find yourself restless and so you will be drawn to a quest for peace and spiritual solace.

This is a week in which you can expect the unexpected.

Leo (July 24 to August 23)

Your spiritual practices have given you fortitude and the courage of your convictions. You feel much more calm and peaceful and ready to face life's challenges with equanimity.

This doesn't mean that you are lethargic and laidback; quite the contrary really.

Ganesha says that you will be full of pep and vigour, a joie de vivre, an unalloyed enthusiasm, which helps you fulfill your responsibilities at home and at work.

Virgo (August 24 to September 23)

The spotlight continues to shine on you at work, thanks to your awesome performance.

Relationships are on the upswing with inter-personal tensions sorted out. Your home is your heaven and you enjoy warm and caring interactions with your near and dear ones.

Socialising, partying and entertaining your friends and family helps you unwind. Your popularity soars and you are darling of your friends, family, and kith and kin.

Curb unhealthy ego drives or you will be target of envy.

Libra (September 24 to October 23)

This phase kickstarts a trend of hard work and fervent play. Dedicated efforts and large doses of luck give you success on the domestic and professional fronts.

You are more organised at work and read the fine print.

You are also enthusiastic and confident and filled with a new energy which ensures success. You use your resources in a prudent manner, introduce innovative and effective measures at work, revive old contacts and friendships and clear the air with those you may have had a run-in with earlier.

Scorpio (October 24 to November 22)

The work formats out into place last week take your productivity levels to dizzy heights. There is a lot of work but the systems are in place and so while the productivity increases, the effort doesn't.

This not only makes your work easier but also gives you more time to devote to domestic affairs. You will have tender moments with your loved one as you multi-task and juggle several projects effortlessly.

You may have to attend out-of-town meetings, conferences, conventions for collaborations / negotiations.

Sagittarius (November 23 to December 21)

You need a break from the hectic activities and events of the past weeks.

Stress levels are high and you need to recuperate. You look at social work and may spend time at old people's homes and other charities.

You look at ways to give back to society. Those in the healthcare professions such as nursing, psychiatry, psycthotherapy, counselling etc. could scale new heights, perhaps even with international acclaim for their work.

Almost all of you will have unusual intuition.

Capricorn (December 22 to January 20)

With your restored and enhanced perception of life you will take it easy, be relaxed, a bit laidback too.

You are happy and optimistic and take time away from work with your lover / social outings with friends, children and parents.

You find joy in building and maintaining valuable partnerships and have a gentle loving attitude which helps foster intimate bonds.

It is not all as rosy as it sounds and you could face hurdles, setbacks and delays coupled with sluggish funds and unexpected expenses.

Aquarius (January 21 to February 19)

There has been a steadily increasing awareness of the importance of relationships in your life for past few weeks.

So, a further strengthening and bonding, both at work and at home, can be achieved through mutual care and respect. Strife and friction, when they occur, should be tactfully and diplomatically handled.

As we all know, peaceful solutions will lead to greater growth and progress. Control your ego and allow wiser counsel to prevail.

This will be particularly relevant on the home front in your dealings with your spouse / partner. At work too, supportive colleagues and co-workers will help you perform better.

Pisces (February 20 to March 20)

You are determined to sustain the growth you have achieved and even build further on it.

This is an action-packed week as you find your hands full at work, much more than you can handle. This moon phase in your sign reinforces the focus on your priorities and values as you push forward to take advantage of the myriad possibilities that have presented themselves to you.

The rewards are immediate and, buoyed, you push ahead frenetically.
