THE YEAR AHEAD

MADAN GUPTA SPATU

If your birthday is on May 4………

This year heralds plenty of changes, especially on the work front. The changes may be good or bad, but you should do your best to adapt and move ahead.

Sudden hospitalization of a family member is foreseen. So, take care and ensure all arrangements in advance. For those born before 1960, this period seems to be a little troublesome. Bad mood, anxiety, lack of rest and, most importantly, health issues will cause disturbance.

If borrowing money has been on your agenda, get a loan, especially if this is about business. Keep away from the courts or any kind of litigation, and try settling disputes, if any, out of court. Being ambitious may be good, but remain practical and pragmatic, while setting your annual goals, because if you set the bar too high you may only end up exhausting yourself and your resources, to no avail.
