Gemini

LIFE
You have all the makings of a winner if you stop being a whiner! Honestly, this is perhaps one of the easiest months to get through. Parents will be moody and anxious that you pay them attention and attend to some pressing chores. No chori from work is possible, so buck up! A close friend gets jealous bevajah.

LOVE
It's a month for a lot of hits and misses in love. You may be out of circulation simply because you don't want to make the first move. Rivals of the sign of Scorpio are active, and the only way to get anyone's attention is to gear up for competition. Get a new look- even if you toy with your old wardrobe-and dazzle 'em!

STUDIES
You know that you can do far better than your current performance levels. The time to make some long-term choices and get your career moving is here. You can either postpone the necessities and drift in a false comfort zone or gear up for admissions, entrances and competitive exams-and slog.

Cancer

LIFE
You reach a cushy state and are so complacent that people will be bugged by your snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug state that is clearly without reason and out of season. Be available for friends and family instead of just lazing or bumming around. You manage to raise a bit of pocket money without too much toil, so it's a cool month.

LOVE
Your love life is one where your mouth waters at the thought of a delicious prospect, but you are about as close to getting to them as someone baying at the moon. You live in hope, nevertheless. Try to help them instead of standing around looking lovelorn-they will appreciate that someone cares enough to do stuff.

STUDIES
You couldn't be bothered with the literary stuff but this is a moment of decision, my friend. Whether you want to sit cross-legged at your dad's shop or do odd courses around, you still have to be well informed. Aim at widening your overall GK and logic; who knows you may be well on your way to a fabulous MBA!

Leo

LIFE
You have to give yourself some freedom from all the bogeys that haunt you. Things are not as bad as they seem. Stop worrying about the future. Friends could land you in a few scrapes-don't pick up a bad habit just to look hip. You'll hear your parents bellow more than usual this month, so behave like a pussycat.

LOVE
Oops! Your're rapidly slipping up in the eyes of a sweetheart and this calls for drastic action. Do not chicken out of sharing time or spending money on each other-your loved one could see this as cold feet and dump you before you do the dumping. Being the dumpee will make you grumpy. A new love affair will disappoint.

STUDIES
You have a new set of priorities and this could be a cause of friction. Technical studies are not your cup of work, so try for softer options. Humanities, where you can pour your heart out in deathless prose, will be right up your alley. Opt for a course in dance, performing arts or journalism. Marks are bad.

Virgo

LIFE
There's a lot of coiled resentment around and that can be a little disconcerting. Beware of people close to you-they could be vicious or hide behind fake smiles and you must say no to plastic! You have to get more competitive and guard your possessions from siblings who take your worldly goods for granted. Say No!

LOVE
Your love life gallops to new highs as you break hearts wherever you go instead of whenever you go. Thankfully, you are charming and at your diplomatic best. The love of a Cancerian is all you need to get you high. This is a month of revelry, fun, parties and games where you will be the belle or beau of the ball!

STUDIES
It's bubble bubble toil and trouble as far as brain work of any sort is concerned. The fact is that your heart and mind are just not in it. You are prone to distractions-grouchy parents, siblings in a huff and a lot of partying to catch up on-and studies don't interest you. Enjoy the fun but prepare for the spanking when results come in!

Libra

LIFE
Professional goals are a priority with you and you'll amuse a whole lot of people by your seriousness like a mock turtle. The grown-up look and approach will fool friends and foes alike, and most of them will leave you alone to concentrate on yourself. Parents may expect you to spend more time at home than usual.

LOVE
It's love in every psychedelic hue that makes you raise a hue and cry and run as if you were being chased, because you are! Male or female, you are in demand and have more fans than the propellers of a ship. This alone will propel you forward and you'll have a starry-eyed look all of this month. A Virgo adds spice.

STUDIES
You're history if you don't pay attention to the facts and figures that go into making history at entrances. Reread your notes and make a serious attempt at getting through all sorts of tests, especially if you have a reappear. Travel and exchange programmes will work well-angle for an opening abroad.

Scorpio

LIFE
You are spurred into action by a whole lot of events, and this becomes a hectic month of getting your life back on track, your friendships in order and your lovelife back on course. Parents and grandparents recover from ill- health and you may even take a long vacation. A hobby that is rather expensive will draw you.

LOVE
You are lucky in love and quite a gadabout as your intelligence and good looks become a great combination. Do not be surprised if a person of the Earth sign loses their heart to you and gives you the shy look. Work gives you loads of opportunity to be together, so plan your days with plenty of extracurricular activities.

STUDIES
You get a great chance to move out of claustrophobic sitautions and make a dash for the nearest Wharton substitute. You'll have plenty of time to rethink career options this month onwards, as the month gives you plenty of twists and turns. It could be a red-letter month, so hide the report cards that carry a hint of blush.

Sagittarius

LIFE
Your problem is too many people with their beaks open asking for something or the other. You can swim the English Channel and back, but as far as your family is concerned, you haven't got yourself wet. The month makes high demands on your time and energy, and even a threat to cut down on your pocket money!

LOVE
No sense in getting Euphoric over the love in your life, as your lovesong will be Hai-ree instead of Mairee. You need to be more attentive to the needs of a gf or bf who'll sulk and pout unless you spend hours yapping on the phone and then yapping on a date till you have laryngitis. Don't look helpless-you asked for it!

STUDIES
An excellent week for academics in any form, be it getting into the school or college paper, a prestigious institute or simply passing your exams with honours. You may even postpone taking a vacation to see whether you can sustain a great innings at studies. Sciences and Economics are good options for success.

Taurus

LIFE
A brilliant year full of pulsating excitement in the second half. You have to compete only with yourself. April and July 2001 are excellent for bonding with family and spending time with loved ones. A pet at home may need medical treatment. Close friendships reach a freeze in May and October and you'll wonder if it was something you said. Watch out for bad habits that could come as a result of silly friends. Speed is a problem, as haste brings destruction in your life as well as your health. Plan activities and concentrate on tasks at hand.

LOVE
You could swear it was true love, but the fact is that you will have more than one swan song and may never have a chance to sing "Love Don't Cost A Thing". People of the Earth sign make faithful friends, especially Capricornians, but it takes a Sagittarian to bring the glow of love in your eyes. You will be pampered in gesture and affection if not plied with peace offerings. You can be so spoiled by love in August and November 2001 that you'll take a long time to look at another. Hopefully, you won't have to.

STUDIES
This is an average year for studies. You will thrive in field activity, practicals and things where you use your creativity, but may not do as well in strict academics. You'll do well to absorb all that you can while you are physically present rather than rely on notes that other people made, so make attendance in class a priority. June requires you to pay undivided attention to work. Sticky situations in Jan 2002 make concentration tough. Personal grooming helps rather than classes by correspondence.

Capricorn

LIFE
You sail through the month with a Cheshire cat grin as supreme contentment is the one thing that comes your way. Letters, e-mails, communications and even travel make this a perfect month to be seen, heard and appreciated. People of the opposite sex make lasting friends and there won't be any confusion in your life.

LOVE
Rather than love, it's a whole lot of warmth and genuine friendship that will start platonic and stay that way. No doubt there could be a few moments of chemistry between you and a person of the sign of Sagittarius, but you will steer the whole thing and laugh about it together. Go out in groups, not twosomes.

STUDIES
You may be following the mob and living out other people's dreams. Forget it, you will never belong to the bratpack, so do not sign up for courses and subjects that are clearly all wrong for you. Be your own person and take up stuff you really want to do, even if it's considered non-academic, pseudo or even sissy.

Aquaries

LIFE
You are cheesed off with the meddlesome attitude of people and this will result in a snappy you. Stay away from the expletives and find healthier ways to let off steam just because things aren't going your way. After all, the world wasn't made for your exclusive benefit. A friend has a gossip session at your cost.

LOVE
It's a sizzling time for love even if you don't know how to spell it. You could end up being hopelessly infatuated with someone who isn't in a band, doesn't go to the gym and is rather uncool in most aspects. What to do, love is blind... you experience the tenderness and excitement of your first crush.

STUDIES
You'll be more interested in fighting for your space including bookshelves and Net time rather than pay serious attention to where your academic life is headed. You can afford to get the trivialities out of the way and settle down to planning your career later this month. Avoid too much coffee or late night tv.

Pisces

LIFE
You need to get out of situations that only lead to your feeling bad about yourself. Take a closer look at your friends and drop the ones who run you down like they're driving a steamroller. Avoid confiding your secrets to a close friend who will blab to the world and take potshots at you. Avoid injury to the back during sports.

LOVE
You are too good for the company you currently keep and this leads to everyone feasting their eyes on you. But you being the pearl before swine, don't fall for more hogwash, re-examine situations and save yourself for someone else. Put away the mistletoe as no matter how many frogs you kiss, you won't find a prince.

STUDIES
Your areas of growth are the offbeat tracks. Careers that are flexible and unconventional work well for you. Forget about what dad wants you to be and what mum expects you to achieve-follow your heart and shine in what you think you are cut out for. A good time to take up a professional course or hobby.

Aries

LIFE
You embark upon a career of fame and fortune, even if things seem to go in a placid manner. You make a mark on people who will have a lifelong good impression of you and help you like shining angels or good Samaritans. There's not much joy in spending time at home. Go out, spread your wings.

LOVE
A dream of paramount importance comes true as you meet with someone in whose good books you wish you had always been. Strange is the month when chance meetings will ensure that you have a fairytale crush that is a page out of Cinderella. Watch out for the friends of your bf or gf who'll play wicked witch.

STUDIES
You need to have good enough grades to look your parents in the eye before you make all sorts of demands for what you want for your birthday.The joke as well as the yolk is on you if you flunk assignments or exams. Think on your feet and take up objective exams with confidence. Save the filibustering for the essay types.
