The Year Ahead

Madan Gupta Spatu

If your birthday is on August 22

You have to be very careful about social interaction and should not go overboard with your response to conflicts. Spend time with family and children. Employees in the government sectors will be benefitted. You will come across multiple opportunities in career; take full advantage. Take precautions as there are chances of you getting into a dispute with a female colleague at work, which can damage your image. Stomach ailments are possible. You will like to overspend on others. Those who work in a team should watch out for an envious co-worker. Someone you think is reliable may not live up to your expectations. So, learn to judge people properly and be diplomatic. Your children will be full of mixed emotions.
