The Year ahead

Madan Gupta Spatu

If your birthday is on August 4

You are practical, trustworthy, hard-working and helpful. Ruled by Uranus, you will be helpful, steady, logical and self-disciplined. A little risk assessment goes a long way. Bet on the positive outcomes instead of dwelling on the potential negatives. It is an ideal time to let your creative juices flow. Duties will be pressing and stress puts your patience to the test. If possible, put off important decisions and avoid finalising deals. Be careful with public relations. Gain of immovable property is indicated. The more secure you make your position, the more gains will accrue. Investment will bring you good returns. Sale of land and vehicle is also possible.

Positive colours: Blue & grey

Select days: Saturday & Sunday

Favourable numbers: 4 & 8

Gems recommended: Sapphire & gomed

Charity on birthday: Help poor students
