9 April to 15 April 2021 | By Manisha Koushik
ARIES (MAR 21-APR 20)
This is a good week to sort certain previous
issues that have been hanging fire for long.
You will not be found wanting in rekindling
your love life. Your request for accompanying
someone on a trip is likely to be granted, so have
a great time! Catering to a few extra options for
completing a task will not get you bogged down
on the professional front. Marketing personnel
are likely to have it tough, but success is foretold. Lucky No.: 18 /
Lucky Colour: Yellow
TAURUS (APR 21-MAY 20)
Someone’s action at work may puzzle you, but
it is best to keep it to yourself. You will need to
steer clear of minor glitches by remaining extra
careful. Spending on someone in the hope that
he or she will help you in return is not advised.
Love for junk food can affect your health
adversely. A family elder’s suspicious nature
can keep you on tenterhooks. You may get sidelined on the social
front, if you don’t interact. Lucky No.:6 / Lucky Colour: Cream
GEMINI (MAY 21-JUN 21)
You are likely to regain lost ground on the
academic front. Things started in this week
will prove most beneficial. You will need to
become financially savvy to raise capital for
something big. Not being in sync with other
family members may make you feel that you
are not being given a fair deal. You may be
taken aback by someone’s brazen attempt to indulge in romance,
but deal with the situation diplomatically. You will remain fit and
energetic. Lucky No.: 11 / Lucky Colour: Lavender
CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 20)
A windfall on the professional front cannot be
ruled out. Someone you are promoting is likely
to get established firmly. Your image is likely to
get a boost on the social front. Someone is likely
to get serious with you and compel you to take a
call on the romantic front. Health wise you will
feel on the top of the world. Taking career advice
from those who have been there, done that will be beneficial. Lucky
No.:2 / Lucky Colour: Orange

LEO (JUL21-AUG 20)
Options open to you on the academic front may
appear a bit confusing, but make a considered
choice. Family will be much more supportive of
your ideas. Some of you will have a good time in
the company of friends or cousins. This is a good
week to go enjoy a picnic or visit an old monument.
A love interest is likely to make the first move on the romantic front,
so be prepared! Health and finance appear good. Lucky No.: 9 /
Lucky Colour: Golden Brown
VIRGO (AUG 23-SEP 23)
There is a possibility of someone you know from
your childhood in this week springing a surprise.
Your desire to visit a tourist destination is likely
to get fulfilled soon. A house or an apartment
may come in your name. Changing your diet and
shunning junk food is the need of the hour and will
have positive effect on your health. Financially,
you will be able to achieve stability. Indecision regarding choosing
the right career may keep your mind in turmoil. Lucky No.:11 /
Lucky Colour: Light Grey
LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)
Something happening in your personal life
needs to be dealt with patience and forbearance.
There are too many forces pulling you in
different directions. You can be in a mental
turmoil regarding an option on the professional
front, but you will manage to make the right
choice. Depleted bank balance will make you
think twice before incurring any heavy expenditure. Remaining
helpful to others without any selfish motive is your innermost
desire. You may rush headlong into romance. Lucky No. 7 / Lucky
Colour: Lemon
SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)
An enjoyable time is foreseen outside home.
Those searching for suitable accommodation may
find luck shining on them. Your focus may waver
on the academic front and get you into all sorts of
problems. On the professional front, you may be
hard pressed to prove your mettle. It will be wise
to restrain yourself from spending on things that catch your fancy.
Minor ailments can trouble you.Lucky No.:11 / Lucky Colour:
Peach
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC 21)
Superiors are likely to rely on your judgment
at work, so be absolutely sure of what you
recommend. You can find a grouchy family
elder in a lighter mood in this week. Attending a
religious ceremony is on the cards for some. This
is the week when you must find time to spend
with lover. Monetary gains are likely for those
in medical or legal professions. Lucky No.:17 / Lucky Colour:
White
CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN 21)
Getting a leg up on a rival is only possible if you
play your cards well. You will be torn between
professional and domestic commitments, and
may find it difficult to prioritise. Pressure on
the work front may mount, but you will be able
to counter it well. Some of you may remain
occupied trying to figure out ways to make a
quick buck. Needless risks are best avoided by
those romancing on the sly. Health remains satisfactory. Lucky
No.: 8 / Lucky Colour: Forest Green
AQUARIUS (JAN 22-FEB 19)
Winning brownie points on the social front is
indicated. Developments on the professional
front appear favourable. Luck may favour you on
the academic front in getting something that you
desperately want. Some problems being faced on
the personal front are set to get resolved. Returns
from property and investments will keep your
coffers brimming. Your efforts towards maintaining good health
will be richly rewarded. Lucky No. 4 / Lucky Colour: Indigo
PISCES (FEB 20-MAR 20)
Some of you may set out on an official tour.
Your efficiency at work will not let anything
remain pending. Appreciation for something
successfully accomplished on the academic
front is possible. You will be able to save a lot
by being judicious in your spending. Those
planning a family can expect good news. Check
your mood swings as they can upset others in the family. Don’t
undertake a journey that has not been properly planned. Lucky No.:
22 / Lucky Colour: Light Green
