The Year Ahead

Madan Gupta Spatu

There will be ups and downs in your career. There is a strong chance of relocation. You need to take advantage of opportunities coming your way. The year will not be favorable for businessmen. Be careful when investing to avoid losses. It’s not a good year for speculation. Travel will be beneficial but expensive. Defer new projects. Elders need to put their extra energy into positive use to reap benefits. You’ll remove every adversary and you’ll beat all competitors. People born before 1980 will make great deals or have the possibility for important changes.

Students will be able to prepare well for their competitive exams.
