Cancer

The year ahead has a slow start and you could feel a little apprehensive about your work and career. There will be occasions when there could be fear of an impending loss of money or your job due to extraneous circumstances. However, this will be a passing phase and nothing untoward is likely to happen. You will continue to make slow but steady progress in your career. This period of uncertainty will last until July or August, and from thereon matters will take a sudden turn for the better.

You will begin to get several opportunities to start new ventures or to expand your existing work due to the onslaught of new business demands. Work connected with trading or overseas projects will get a boost, especially after you sign a contract with a foreign group towards August or October. If employed, you will receive a better offer within your organisation that will propel you to a position of eminence. Youngsters who have recently started their career will sign up with multi-national organisations based within the country, and travel widely in connection with their work. A rapid growth in their job is assured.

Family and marriage: Home and family life will improve rapidly and any friction between parents and children will get resolved. You stand to have a better relationship with your relatives and if married will live in a more congenial and harmonious environment. Couples desirous of progeny will beget a child this year probably between October to December. Youngsters will have a hectic social life with one strong romantic involvement. If in the age group of 24 to 30 and single, you will get married to the person of your choice. A happy and enduring association is predicted for those in love and for those married.

Education: Students will have to work harder during the earlier half of the year when the planets are ill disposed towards academic pursuits. Even brilliant students will see themselves failing tests and exams. The only means to overcome this negative planetary influence will be to get down to serious study right from January onwards.

Health: Your health will be generally good this year. However, most of you are likely to put on weight because of your busy lifestyle. You may not find enough time to exercise and may end up socialising a great deal. You should remember that people who belong to your zodiac sign have a tendency to put on weight easily after a certain age.

Overall, this promises to be a very successful year for you.
