THE YEAR AHEAD

Madan Gupta Spatu

If your birthday is on October 24

This year your birthday coincides with Karva Chauth, which indicates a harmonious married life. An unexpected encounter is likely, but do not go on the first impression. Try to understand what is hidden deep under the external veil. Visits to pilgrimages and tourist places are on the cards. You will enjoy sound health. Old investments can be reinvested in shares, gold or real estate for multiplying wealth. As Jupiter moves forward, it brings good fortune and the opportunity to expand in all areas of your life. Whatever rewards you’ve been waiting for are ready. You need to control your emotions. Spending time with children in your family will make you happy.
