Happy B'day
Gemini

LIFE: Life is one big party this year. You'll have energy for everything except constructive stuff and this can cause stress in the family. Sudhar jao and try to get a headstart in your career. Friends will be faithful. June and July bring pleasant surprises in the form of people who are reliable. Splits over money with close friends could mar December. The new year is a good time for a change in your appearance, circle of friends and even circle of life! A trip abroad with friends is likely.

LOVE: You will imagine you are in love at least half-a-dozen times this year. Do yourself a favour and hold on to all that you have. A Leo friend could cause a rift between you and your loved one. Delightful times lie ahead with picnics and lots of relaxation. Avoid sticky discussions with people of the Earth sign, especially in April 2002. You make rapid strides on the social scene and become a rage hotter than boybands and girlbands. Watch out for being too casual or complacent in relationships around December 2002.

STUDY: You need to hone your skills and strive for excellence as this is a decisive year for your career. While Jan and Feb are loaded with work and pressure, you may be a little lost as you are swamped in a sea of detail or overawed by people who try to outperform you. History and Economics students will have a tough time as you take longer to grasp things. Friends will admire your scholastic abilities, but secretly hope that you amount to nothing. Languages will be less of a problem than Social Sciences.

Cancer

LIFE: It's a series of complications and a month of dizzy action that has you on the spin. Your fave ditty could be life in a rinse cycle as you go round and round. You need to take a break and a refreshing change from life in a groove and sort out issues at a later date. For once, delays will not hurt you, but speed would!

LOVE: A wish comes true in real life technicolour! Your heart will be singing goofy stuff from "Singing In The Rain" to Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. It's a month where you can pull a boo-boo on the competition in matters of the heart, so go ahead and splurge on yourself and look good enough to eat! This will be a time to remember.

STUDIES: You are dealing with subjects that are as sharp as razorblades and you have to sharpen your wits to rise to the occasion. Professional matters and anything that involves Chemistry, Geography or Engineering could have you climbing walls as the heat is on you to perform. Take no admissions for granted.

Leo

LIFE: You need to sit tight on whatever is the first thing that comes to your head and learn to be the perfect diplomat. Ugly spats and kutta-billi scenes will tarnish your name unless you learn to live and let live. Some choices could come your way that you have to grin and bear, but whatever the position you are in, it won't last.

LOVE: You'll be amazed at the rope people give you without making a noose at the end of it. Frankly, all your aintra-paintra will be swallowed by gullible folk of the opposite sex and you'll be a popular dude or dudette! A new love interest is likely to keep you occupied and self-absorbed and in a reverie. Refer to previous para.

STUDIES: You need to blow on your hands and attack your set of chores instead of doing padhai se chori. A career opportunity is staring you in the face, you need to be smart to realise it. Shortcuts, sifaarish and contacts will not help you score in any sort of exam, you have to sharpen your memory with brush-ups instead of pep pills.

Virgo

LIFE: Life continues on a smooth path in the same old hunky-dory manner. You have to watch out for cutting out the junk from your life, using an imaginary pair of scissors. Have a more steady approach to things without losing your head. You have a solution to a painful situation coming up soon, so plod along and watch miracles unfold.

LOVE: You scintillate in the company of people who share your interests, your likes and pet peeves as well. You will spend hours reading up the theory of relativity to find justifications for why you relate to someone almost perfectly. Hold your horses and take things one slow step at a time, but enjoy it all the same.

STUDIES: You set into motion a whole chain of thoughts and find that you have a lot of interesting ideas. People will load you with complicated stuff to read and comment on. Your brain cells will charge up if not expanded. Keep your food intake adequate as it will affect your performance. Prizes await.

Libra

LIFE: You are a true blue survivor, but you have been going blue in the face over wanting things your way for too long. A bit of flexibility and a whole lot of rest will take care of most things, as you may end up making mistakes if you are pooped. Your health is a priority right now, so avoid late nights or excesses in food or drink.

LOVE: A love relationship you put on the backburner could well be on its way out of your life unless you do something about it. Avoid behaving in a pattern or cribbing about the same handicaps. Do not take a loved one for granted, especially after mid-month. Avoid noisy places for chit-chat and you may add new meaning to pyaar.

STUDIES: The balance for which you are famed will turn out to be the best bet for the studious. Not more than usual, not less than expected. A whirlwind month has you struggling to retain a grip on things relatively early in the day. Get over your teething troubles ASAP and it will be a cakewalk of a year after that. Sit at a desk to read.

Scorpio

LIFE: An Aquarian is trying to get you into loads of trouble, and you'll be gasping like a fish out of an aquarium if you are not careful. You tend to let yourself get cornered into doing the job of a dogsbody. Pay attention to the needs of the family just as you do to your own-you could have disgruntled parents at hand.

LOVE: A person of the Earth sign, especially Capricorn or Virgo, could make your heart beat faster than Madhuri in the "Dhak Dhak" track. Sooner or later you'll be discussing a future, so keep your head screwed on tight or you may be disappointed at the way the love bubble bursts at the end of the day-sorry, month.

STUDIES: You must continue working at a good pace as you are nearly there at the top, where you belong. Interesting people bob up when you least expect it and offer you fantastic career options, which means you have to act and think smart. Plan your work and work your plan or you could spoil your fun with holiday homework.

Sagittarius

LIFE: It's a month of ups and downs, and the way you respond to new erratica, your emotional graph will be a see-saw. Avoid spending on other people more lavishly than they deserve and don't deny yourself stuff either. Be the dependable one without having to suffer or bend backward in the process.

LOVE: Your heart will be full of joy and contentment, thanks to a person in your immediate surroundings. Alternatively, your current state of bliss could even come from being single! You'll have to go easy on the excitement as your heart and imagination may actually be doing more for you than the people themselves.

STUDIES: You have to have the patience of a monk and the discipline as well. Learn to concentrate for hours on end and not by planting yourself in front of the tv. Coaching classes that begin early will ensure that you are way ahead of the others. Aim at a high rank in your studies this month-you are closer to reaching it than ever before.

Capricorn

LIFE: Work, work, work will make you want to shirk, shirk, shirk! Life is a four-letter word this month and you have to deal with plenty of unwarranted criticism from friends and family alike. Watch your conduct, especially at other people's homes, as being all too comfortable, you may be frowned at by moms and dads of pals.

LOVE: In love it's deception all the way as you find the best way to fall in love is with forbidden fruit. Watch your step, my dear, and you'll save yourself a lot of embarrassment. A Taurean is spreading tall tales about you, and what's worse is that people you care about are lapping it up. Do some storytelling yourself!

STUDIES: You get ahead of all your friends and rivals in the area they loathe the most-money! Accounts, Finance, Stats and even Math will all be great areas of scoring. Concentrate on sports as well-you need to have a perfectly healthy mind and body. Science and technology hold promise for you, like, 'Beam me up Scotty!'

Aqua

LIFE: You have a lot of pleasant surprises coming your way that have nothing to do with what you deserve. You will be delighted and, after a point, befuddled at the way things are turning out right. People close to your heart will be patient, loving and sweet. Parents may disapprove of wild parties or bad company.

LOVE: Love can take a few knocks due to misunderstandings. A Cancerian blows hot and cold and eventually turns out to be lukewarm. There's no knowing how much of what you say will be registered by those who claim to love you, so keep things light instead of too intense and involved. Tell friends no secrets.

STUDIES: You have a firm grasp over all things that require logic and the abilities of problem solving. Don't take up subjects where you have to do much cramming-you could get creamed in exams and it won't be a pretty sight. A stint out of the city or abroad should be combined with the avenue for higher studies, so aim at top marks.

Pisces

LIFE: Holding the gurukul parampara high will go well with your folks, who'll constantly prod you to take life seriously. Expect a lot of lectures and serious stuff that could border on boredom, but is meant well. A Libran will be loyal and supportive. Don't monkey around with friends-you'll terrify them worse than the monkeyman.

LOVE: In love it's the middle path that is best. Don't fall for the charms of people close to you, and chill out when people say 'let's be friends'. You are about to meet a whole lot of nice new people-it will make you want to throw off the yoke of commitments if you enter into them too soon. Keep it flighty and flirty.

STUDIES: It's a long and tedious walk to Wharton or Yale if that's where want to head. Frankly, you should concentrate on building the groundwork for competitive exams instead of rushing into them. Don't give up just because things seem tough-you will soon be in a better position to deal with complicated subjects.

Aries

LIFE: Life has you at the receiving end of things and how good it is will depend on the question Santa Claus is famous for, "Have you been a good boy or girl this year?" Practicality is a good idea in handling friends who are taking your good nature for granted. A friend is stealing from you under the garb of sly smiles, be careful!

LOVE: You can sulk or pout, but a new person is not going to melt as quickly as jello just because you think you gell so well-o. If anything, your distracted ways could make a current flame turn j-lo-ous! Twosomes, however well planned, will be a disaster, so stick with group or double-dating; at least you won't be abused!

STUDIES: Your hard work can amount to something only if you learn to devise a method of keeping a spare set of notes or have a new system of filing. Earth Sciences are a good idea, so try your hand at Medicine or Psychology and who knows, you too could land a Brooke Shields equivalent to Dr Drey of Friends.

Taurus

LIFE: You are an El Torro, as people cheese you off with uncalled for suggestions about the way they think you should be leading your life. You will look for friends who aren't so holier-than-thou, loved ones who aren't quite so exacting and parents who leave you alone once in a while. A nice month with tough spells.

LOVE: A loved one could make you carry coal to Newcastle or do a moo-kaala. You'll want very little to do with the opposite sex because of the way they treat you. A test will make you emerge royal litmus blue or blood red, so try to pass all the exams a loved sweetheart puts you through. Your handling of the present decides the future.

STUDIES: A parent, especially your mother, will get in the way of your career choices because she would have bragged about your achievements to all her friends at the society club or kitty party. You'll have no choice but to try and be the topper she's painted you out to be. Be your own person, but try to make your folks' wish come true.
