FEATURES 19<br />
<strong>21</strong><strong>August</strong> – 27 <strong>August</strong> <strong>2020</strong> | By Manisha Koushik<br />
ARIES (MAR <strong>21</strong>-APR 20)<br />
This is the right time to spell out your ideas, if you<br />
want them implemented. You may not have much<br />
to do at office, since you will either delegate your<br />
tasks to someone else or sidestep them! Care needs<br />
to be exercised on the academic front. You will<br />
need to be careful with your money, as spending it<br />
on frivolous things cannot be ruled out. Someone’s<br />
insistence on something on the home front may<br />
make you relent. Lucky No.:22 / Lucky Colour: Sky Blue<br />
TAURUS (APR <strong>21</strong>-MAY 20)<br />
A popular location is likely to be enjoyed by some.<br />
You spend well, but you earn well too, so expect this<br />
happy situation to persist on the financial front. An<br />
old ailment is likely to disappear, as you start taking<br />
the required precautions. Leaning too heavily on<br />
luck is a formula for disaster, so remember that on<br />
the academic front. Mental pressure at work may<br />
increase for some. It may become difficult to endure the idiosyncrasies<br />
of lover. Lucky No.:4 / Lucky Colour: Dark Slate Grey<br />
GEMINI (MAY <strong>21</strong>-JUN <strong>21</strong>)<br />
You need to have some balance, so stop oscillating<br />
from one extreme to the other. Some work may<br />
come up and dash your hopes of enjoying the<br />
week, but you will manage to wriggle out of it!<br />
Shopping will be fun, but keep a tab on spending,<br />
as chances of going overboard look real. Give a<br />
more professional look to your outfit, if you want<br />
to attract clients. You are likely to double your<br />
efforts on the academic front. Lucky No.:1 / Lucky Colour: Light<br />
Yellow<br />
CANCER (JUN 22-JUL 20)<br />
Maintaining secrecy over a matter with those<br />
around may not be the best course of action, so give<br />
it a rethink. Romance beckons you and how! But<br />
in your anticipation don’t cross the line as you can<br />
get into an embarrassing situation. You are likely to<br />
remain strong on the academic front and be able to<br />
take the competition head on. Your helpful nature<br />
will be appreciated and help boost your image on<br />
the social front. Lucky No.: 4 / Lucky Colour: Lavender<br />

LEO (JUL<strong>21</strong>-AUG 20)<br />
You may leave something unattended at work and<br />
become answerable for it, so take care. Nervousness<br />
cannot be ruled out for those meeting lover for the<br />
first time. Carry adequate cash for a transaction as<br />
you may need it. Your attempts to infuse fun and<br />
gaiety to make a celebration lively may meet with<br />
partial success. Those ailing for long may take<br />
some more time to recover totally, but recover they<br />
will. A pat on the back awaits some. Lucky No.:18 / Lucky Colour:<br />
Saffron<br />
VIRGO (AUG 23-SEP 23)<br />
This is an excellent time for you to invest, as you<br />
are likely to get fantastic returns. You are likely to<br />
fare well on the academic front, irrespective of how<br />
you have prepared. Your efforts on the home front<br />
will be lauded by all. Networking is likely to get<br />
you places on the social front. Chances of finding<br />
an expensive item look bright. Taking up a fitness<br />
course is on the cards and will prove highly beneficial. Lucky No.:1 /<br />
Lucky Colour: Light Brown<br />
LIBRA (SEP 24-OCT 23)<br />
You may have to seek alternatives, if you are unable<br />
to accomplish something at work. Efforts on the<br />
academic front put in now will pay rich dividends<br />
later. You are likely to benefit immensely by making<br />
health your priority. Despite rising expenses, you<br />
will be able to remain fairly well off financially. You<br />
will feel loved by those around you. On the social<br />
front, it is better to accept your mistakes, than defend them and be<br />
labelled stupid! Lucky No.: 8 / Lucky Colour: Violet<br />
SCORPIO (OCT 24-NOV 22)<br />
Someone may go out of his or her way to help you<br />
out. You can remain in wonderment at your good<br />
fortune ! <strong>The</strong>re is every possibility of securing<br />
a position or achieving the unexpected on the<br />
academic front. Consistency and performance on<br />
the professional front is likely to take you places.<br />
Love can happen at the oddest of places and you<br />
are likely to realise it soon! Financial worries<br />
become a thing of the past. Lucky No.: 1 / Lucky Colour: Light<br />
Brown<br />
SAGITTARIUS (NOV 23-DEC <strong>21</strong>)<br />
An impending expenditure may seem way beyond<br />
your pocket, but you will be able to tackle it<br />
somehow. Much appreciation is in store for you<br />
on the social front for something that you have<br />
achieved. If you are in love, you can expect a most<br />
fulfilling time with your beloved. Wriggling out<br />
of a job that entails travel will be in your interest.<br />
Street food can have serious consequences on your health, so desist.<br />
Lucky No.:15 / Lucky Colour: Grey<br />
CAPRICORN (DEC 22-JAN <strong>21</strong>)<br />
You may be given the go ahead for venturing into something new. Giving<br />
quality time to family is indicated in this week, so<br />
expect a highly rewarding time. Some of you may<br />
decide to take your romance to the next level. A<br />
trip with friends will not only be exciting, but<br />
refreshing too. Something new may be procured<br />
for the house. Easing off on the academic front is<br />
possible, so it is time to tighten your belt. Lucky<br />
No.:7 / Lucky Colour: Pink<br />
AQUARIUS (JAN 22-FEB 19)<br />
YYou just need to give time for things to settle down on their own.<br />
Your efforts on the social front will need a push<br />
for things to work out. Good time management<br />
will hold you in good stead on the academic front.<br />
Avoid any kind of argument, as it may go against<br />
you. Someone is trying hard to highlight your<br />
shortcomings on the professional front. Money<br />
may become a problem. You are likely to enjoy<br />
good health. Lucky No.:11 / Lucky Colour:<br />
Yellow<br />
Pisces (Feb 20-Mar 20)<br />
Keep track of whatever resources you have at your<br />
disposal, as you may need them at a later date. You<br />
may take steps to improve your health. A short break<br />
from the routine will help you unwind. Restlessness<br />
needs to be guarded against on the academic front.<br />
If there is something pending at work, it will be in<br />
your interest to complete it the soonest. You may<br />
resent someone’s ways in the family, but it is best to ignore. Lucky<br />
