You have a period of hard work and struggle ahead but one that will yield positive results eventually. You will have to be patient and avoid getting frustrated with the slow rate of your progress. You may feel in the beginning of the year that the pattern that started the previous year appears to be continuing. This could be true. There will be a strong urge to change your job, work or position and you will make a concerted effort in this direction.

Those of you who are living overseas, or away from your hometown, will feel inclined to return, which you are likely to do around September. Some of you may just be content with changing your jobs or starting an independent business. The changes that you bring about this year will certainly benefit you initially, but yet there will be discontent for a while. Another change is foreseen before the end of the year or the beginning of the following year, whereby you will either return to your earlier establishment or move to another country or place. All this will happen due to planetary moves so you are advised not to get frustrated and to bide your time. Running away from problems will not help resolve them. Assuming that most of you will bear with the slow rate of growth and not bring about any changes, then around September the chances of matters improving are very bright and the progress you see thereafter will be much faster.

Family and marriage: Home and family life will begin to improve, and a change of residence is foreseen for most of you. Those living in a joint family will now move to a separate accommodation with the consent of their elders. If married, you will gradually resolve your differences, if any, and enjoy a better rapport with your mate. An element of love and excitement will return to your life and you can look forward to good times with your mate . The single will get to know someone interesting and this association has the makings of a lasting friendship. Those of you who are single and eligible, especially those in the age group of 25 to 35, will get married towards the end of this year.

Education:Students will have to put in a lot of hard work before they are able to make the grade. However, those of you who are in their final year will manage to score well in your forthcoming exams. If you are keen to pursue higher studies overseas you will travel abroad for a period of two or three years to complete your education.

Health:Your health will remain good and those of you who are working hard to build muscle will certainly achieve excellent results.

Overall, you may have a hard and strenuous year but with patience, tolerance and forbearance you will succeed in making the most of the good phase as and when the opportunity arises.
