The Year Ahead

Madan Gupta Spatu

If your birthday is on September 8

Number eight is the manager. It is a strong, successful and material vibration. Ruled by Saturn, you will be ambitious, business-minded, practical, authoritative, successful, courageous and accomplished. Your friends and relatives will approach you to take suggestions during the time of crisis. Job-seekers are likely to get a suitable break. Politicians will take interest in social work. A profitable journey is on the cards. Your spending on life’s goodies will rise and so shall your income. Singles are likely to find a suitable match. Be respectful towards your parents. Someone can try to drag you into legal hassles. Try to sort out matters amicably and out of the court only. You should remain grounded and down-to-earth.
