hospital, where the visi-
tors would be greeted
with the slogan.
The Wexham Park
Hospital, a large Na-
tional health service
foundation hospital at
Wexham in Bucking-
hamshire, accepted the
slogan and pasted it at
several spots in the hos-
pital to encourage peo-
ple to wear masks to
prevent coronavirus
spread.
Appreciating the ini-
tiative, lead midwife,
Sarah Coxon of the hos-
pital sent an e-mail to
the principal of Medi-
cal College of Pali Dr
Hareesh Kumar.
“We are glad that gov-
ernment of Rajasthan
has been following the
“No mask No entry”
campaign in their hos-
pitals. We have liked the
idea immensely and are
pleased to adopt these
strategies of mandato-
ry mask and social dis-
tancing norms here at
Wekham NHS UK. We
hope to share and learn
from each other and
these small ideas make
a great and meaningful
impact in the preven-
tion of spread of cov-
id,” she said in the mail
that Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot proudly
shared on his social me-
dia accounts.
The hospital has
placed stickers with ‘No
Face Mask, No Entry’
encouraging the visi-
tors to mandatorily
wear face masks to pre-
vent the further spread
of this deadly infection.
The state govern-
ment had swung into
action immediately af-
ter the first case of cor-
onavirus was reported
in the state on March 2.
Since the beginning,
people were encour-
aged to wear masks,
regularly wash hands,
and maintain social dis-
tance. Government has
launched a month long
mass awareness cam-
paign on COVID 19. The
campaign will run till
Oct 31 as part of the
statewide mass move-
ment against Corona.

LEARNING LOSSES
AND THE FEAR
OF PANDEMIC
f other than the economy the pan-
demic has hit any sector hard it is
education. Ever since the lock-
down began the Narendra Modi
government has been looking at
ways to reduce the burden on students by cut-
ting the syllabus for academic sessions 2020-
21 for students of Class 10 and 12.
With schools shut for fear of Covid-19, on-
line classes began to be offered but the exer-
cise was skewed as millions of students in
India do not have access to a computer or a
smartphone. Internet connectivity, in semi-
urban and rural areas, is also erratic despite
mobile towers dotting the country’s land-
scape. In tribal areas, the electricity supply
is also a problem. These drawbacks have re-
sulted in varied standards of online teaching.
TheUnionHRDMinistrybegantheexercise
of “rationalizing” the syllabus by dropping
somechaptersfromtextbooksforstudentspre-
paring to write board exams next year. The
CBSE and the CISCE which had earlier decid-
ed to trim the syllabus by 30 percent are now
mulling a 50 percent reduction. As schools in
some states are set to reopen from October 15,
this plan has not yet been approved.
With schools remaining shut-in contain-
ment zones, as also in Delhi where they will
remain shuttered until October-end, it will be
fair to halve the syllabus. However, as the fear
of the second wave of Covid-19 will deter par-
ents from sending their children to school,
reducing the syllabus by half would be a bet-
ter option than “rationalisation”.
The boards also have the option of delaying
examinations by about a month to help teach-
ers complete the syllabus. The final decision
will be taken by the education department as
postponement of examination for however
short a period will have a ripple effect on ad-
missions at the undergraduate level.
The challenge that will remain is about
reopening schools to mitigate learning losses
suffered by deprived students. Even if there
is a cautious restart of classroom teaching,
parents will still be in a dilemma, while
teachers and other school staff will be under
tremendous pressure to maintain necessary
protocols like sanitisation, and social-dis-
tancing for the well-being of students. They
will have the added responsibility of report-
ing suspected cases and isolating them.
The debate around the reopening of
schools amid fear of Covid-19 is not exclusive
to India. In Britain, the government has been
widely criticised for reopening of schools
even as there was a spurt in Covid-19 cases.
In the US, there is no agreement between
teachers, parents, and governments on
whether to restart classroom teaching. In the
Philippines, schools will remain closed till
there’s a vaccine available.
If India has indeed subdued the virus,
there should be no fear of schools becoming
super-spreaders. Still, cutting down of sylla-
bus would be in order.
IN-DEPTH
I
witnessed the first debate be-
tween presidential candidates
John F. Kennedy, Democrat,
and Richard Nixon, Republi-
can in October 1960 at the
American Embassy, then lo-
cated at Bhawalpur House. At
the time colour television had
not arrived, not even in the
United States.
The contrast between Ken-
nedy and Nixon was all too vis-
ible. Kennedy 6 feet tall, hand-
some and sartorially elegant
Vice President Richard Nixon
by contrast was lacking all
tours. As for the debate’s out-
come, Kennedy won but only
just. He was the first Catholic
to occupy the White House.
It is not the Kennedy-Nixon
debate that is etched in public
memory. What is remembered
after sixty years is Kennedy’s
speech delivered at his swear-
ing ceremony. “Ask not what
your country can do for you,
ask what you can do for your
country” resonates to this day.
President Franklin D-
Roosevelt (1932-1945), the long-
est-serving President in US
history also made memorable
inaugural speeches in 1932.
“The only thing we have to fear
is fear 1936 - “The American
people have a rendezvous with
history”.
Jawaharlal Nehru in his great
speech on midnight 15 August
1947, had no doubt in mind
Roosevelt’s“rendezvous”speech,
when used the word “tryst”.
I watched the Donald Trump
and Joe Biden and Mike Pence
andKamalaHarrisdebates.The
former was not a debate, but a
verbal slanging match, with
Trump being rude and at times
gave the impression of being
disinterested. Biden was nei-
ther rude nor irrelevant. When
Trump kept interrupting him,
Joe Biden said to Trump “Shut
up, man” What was the out-
come. Joe Biden not only con-
ducted himself with restrained
dignity but proved to better de-
bater and better prepared.
Yet,therewasashortcoming-
Joe Biden is not a charismatic
or inspirational individual.
The Vice-President debate
between Vice-President Mike
Pence and Senator Kamala
Harris seemed to be a one-sided
contest. Several times she put
the Vice-President on the de-
fensive. Once when Pence at-
tempted to interrupt her, she
said “Mr Vice-President, I am
speaking” It was a spectacular
put down. The senator was the
clear winner. President Donald
Trump, throwing good man-
ners to the winds called the
senator a “monster” is an ac-
complished, confident, asser-
tive politician. Not a monster.
Before he contacts the covid
infection and was hospitalized,
it looked that he might, just
might make it to the White
House again, but his own infec-
tion and constant playing down
the seriousness of the corona
the virus will in all probability
cost him the election.
As of today it is more than
evident that campaigning for
Trump will be an ordeal. It will
be risky if he does not wear a
mask, for which he has disdain.
His other problem is that a
dozen seniors members of his
White House staff have also
been infected and in a two-
week quarantine.
Polls are seldom reliable but
at this point in time Biden is in
the lead.
In India it appears that
Trump is favored, especially on
account of his taking China on
Biden is relatively unknown in
India. With twenty-three days
left for 3rd November the world
awaitswithbatedbreath,guess-
ing which way the dice will fall.
Ram Vilas Paswan’s passing
away at the age of seventy-four
is a huge national loss. He was
the tallest and most well known
Dalit leader who was elected to
the Lok Sabha in the seventies
with a record margin.
Inevitably his death will
have extensive ramification in
the forthcoming Assembly
elections in the state.
The coronavirus pandemic
has turned the world into a
huge medical word, hundreds
of thousand men, women have
died. The miracle vaccine re-
mains elusive, lifestyles of
hundreds of millions of people
have drastically changed and
as long as the virus lasts it will
be the case. What will the world
look like post-pandemic?

everal men-
tal health
issues have
emergedfol-
lowing the
Covid-19 pandemic af-
fecting all segments of
society. People have
been experiencing
symptoms such as fear,
frustration, uncertain-
ty, sense of insecurity,
senseof boredom,mood
swings, guilt, anxiety,
disturbedsleeppattern,
obsessive thoughts and
in extreme cases even
depression.
Factors giving rise
to this situation in-
clude several changes
in day-to-day activities,
redistribution of home
chores, extensive
working from home,
and greater time spent
with those living to-
gether. It has also led to
long separation from
families (for those
working away from
their hometowns), fi-
nancial stress, and in-
terpersonal strain.
Mental health is-
sues for those in isola-
tion or quarantine can
be attributed to the fol-
lowing factors
z Increasing the duration of
quarantine which can lead
to increasing distress
z Multiple confusing
sources of information
that increases anxiety
z Fear of health or infect-
ing others.
z Loss of routine, lack
of social contact, and
sense of isolation from
the rest of the world.
z Patients might face
stigma from the com-
munity.
z Loss of work can lead to
a loss of pay or job.
z Inability meet daily
demands of life
Recent studies have
shown the increased
prevalence of depres-
sion, anxiety, somatic
concerns, alcohol-re-
lated disorders, and
insomnia in the gen-
eral population during
Covid 19 pandemic.
One such study has re-
ported that 55 percent
of Covid treated pa-
tients had some kind
of psychiatric illness,
predominantly Anxie-
ty in 42 percent, De-
pression in 31 percent,
and Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder(PTSD)
in 28 percent. Addi-
tionally, 20 percent of
patient-reported ob-
sessive-compulsive
symptoms and 40 per-
cent had insomnia.
It becomes even
more pertinent during
this time to consider
mental health issues
of persons with men-
tal illness(PMI) espe-
cially those with se-
vere mental illnesses.
The latest data re-
ports almost 14.3 per-
cent of the population
in India to have some
kind of mental disor-
der, constituting about
19.73 crores of the total
population. One in eve-
ry twenty individual
tend to suffer from de-
pression during their
lifetime and almost
one suicide takes place
every forty seconds
globally. Recent studies
have demonstrated
that almost three
fourth of persons with
severe mental illness
did not have adequate
knowledge about the
symptoms and precau-
tionary measures of
Covid 19 infection.
These patients may
face difficulty in the
continuation of their
therapy due to social
isolation and height-
ened fear. Though a
temporary, yet sudden
change in lifestyle dur-
ing this pandemic may
develop adjustment
problems in this popu-
lation.
These patients are at
higher risk of relapse
due to restricted availa-
bility of treatment and
consultation during the
Covid period and also
have more chances of
contracting infection
due to their unaware-
ness. During Covid 19
pandemic, the health
care needs of such pa-
tients are more likely to
be compromised, since
most of the health care
resources have been
mobilized towards Cov-
id care. This may result
in a relapse of disease
or worsening of symp-
toms.
The effective strate-
gies to manage these
issues must address
towards more effective
utilization of commu-
nity services through
the District Mental
Health Program, the
use of video conferenc-
ing, and telemedicine
for consultation, and
availability of emer-
gency care set up for
patients in acute need.
Caregivers must be ad-
vised following steps
for patient care.
z To ensure regular avail-
ability of medicines and
treatment compliance
z Look for relapse or
worsening of symptoms,
z Ensure adequate and
healthy communication
with the patient,
z Encourage to ensure
precautionary measures
to avoid Covid infection,
z Encourage to maintain
regular sleep, exercise,
and diet,
z Encourage to avoid
alcohol or other
substance of addiction
and keep in touch with
treating doctors.

TRP FRAUD CASE : JT COMMISSIONER OF POLICE MILIND BHARAMBE CONFIRMED RECEIVING THE LETTER
New Delhi: The gov-
ernment informed the
SC that “it’s not possi-
ble to give more relief
to different sectors”
amid coronavirus pan-
demic, stressing that
the “courts should not
interfere in fiscal poli-
cy”. The centre’s re-
sponse came days after
the top court said the
government’s last
week’s affidavit on
waiving “interest on in-
terest” on loans of up to
2 crore - frozen by the
Reserve Bank of India
(RBI) in a six-month
moratorium granted
because of the corona-
virus pandemic - was
“not satisfactory”.
In its latest affidavit,
the government has
said: “Policy is the do-
main of the govern-
ment and court should
not go into sector-spe-
cific financial relief.
Any further relief, be-
sides waiving of com-
pound interest for loans
up to 2 crore, is detri-
mental to the national
economy and banking
sector.”
Last week, the gov-
ernment told top court
that it was ready to
waive interest on the
repayment of loans of
up to Rs 2 crore. The in-
terest waiver is applica-
ble for loans taken by
MSMEs (Micro, Small
and Medium Enterpris-
es), for educational,
housing, consumer
goods and auto loans
and for credit card dues.
On Monday, the top
court said the centre’s
affidavit was not satis-
factory and asked for a
do-over in a week.

and it is believed that
the Gandhi scion could
visit Sri Ganganagar
and Hanumangarh ar-
eas. Gehlot also ques-
tioned the intent of the
Centre for introducing
the ‘’black laws’’ amid
the coronavirus crisis
and stressed that there
was no emergency in
bringing the laws.
“What was the reason
for bringing three
black laws amid the
coronavirus crisis?” he
asked.
He said the bills were
introduced in Parlia-
ment without discuss-
ing with farmers, trad-
ers and state govern-
ments. When the Oppo-
sition wanted to refer
the bills to a select com-
mittee of Parliament
for analysing their
merits and demerits,
the demand was not ac-
cepted, Gehlot alleged.
“Farmers will not
even know how gradu-
ally they will be hit
through these laws.
When Modi was the
Chief Minister of Gu-
jarat, he wrote a letter
to then Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh
while advocating for
MSP but he turned
away from his word as
soon as he became
Prime Minister and
there is no mention of
MSP in the controver-
sial laws,” the Chief
Minister said.
Gehlot also stressed
that contract farming
is beneficial in those
countries where the
land holding of farm-
ers is in hundreds of
hectares. “There the
farmers act as traders
but in India where the
average land holding is
less than two hectares,
how then will the farm-
er benefit,” he ques-
tioned and added fur-
ther, “BJP had come to
power on the promise
of doubling the farm
income but no since it
cannot complete its
promise, hence it has
brought such a contro-
versial law to make
the Congress and op-
position a scapegoat
of its failures.”
MHA advisory...
in law and several ca-
pacity building meas-
ures undertaken, any

ry requirements may
not augur well for the

FAMILY MAN SWARUP!
In an interesting development,
Chief Secretary Rajeeva Swarup
took a leave on Friday. This may
not seem to be an information
worthy of news, however
considering that the man had
not taken even a single day off
since he was ‘christened’ ACS
Home, speaks volumes about
the commitment Swarup showed
towards the state and functioning
of government. In fact, when he
took the day off on Friday, his
leave was ‘sanctioned’ by Chief
Minister himself! When officials
go on leave they have to inform
the DOP, however for just a day’s
leave, no file is forwarded to the
department. And just what did the
CS do on his day off? Well, like
any good family man, he chose
to spend the ‘quality time’ with
his family at home rather than
moving out.

if Samiti members will
come for the meeting.
It is noteworthy that
the Samiti stand has
been quite rigid when
they said that they
won’t join any talks
with govt despite invita-
tion because now they
don’t want talks but
want appointment let-
ters for 35,000 commu-

Samiti has even threat-

agitation if their de-
mands are not met.

BJP WANTS
NITYANAND RAI TO
BE CM OF BIHAR
If everything goes ac-
cordingtothecalcula-
tions of Bhupendra Ya-
dav then it will be Cen-
tral MoS (Home) Nity-
anand Rai who will be
the next CM of Bihar
and not Nitish Kumar.
This is for the first time
in the NDA coalition in
Bihar that the elder
brother, Nitish Kumar’s
JDU is contesting lesser
seats than younger
brother, BJP. JDU is con-
testing only 115 seats as
it has given 7 seats to
H i n d u s t a n i
Awam Morcha
of Jiten Manjhi while
BJP is contesting all 121
seats of its quota. Yadav
ensured that Mukesh
Sahni party contests all
11 seats on the Lotus
symbol. Yadav is also
very cleverly using Chi-
rag Paswan’s emotions
against Nitish. Chirag’s
feelings were evident in
hislettertoBJPnational
president JP Nadda
mentioning the pain
which Ram Vilas Pas-
wan had gone through
whenNitishhadrefused
to support his RS candi-
dature last year. Chirag

THE OLD BENGALI
CONNECTION OF
GUPTESHWAR
PANDE
The story behind Bi-
har CM Nitish Ku-
mar snubbing former
DGP Gupteshwar Pande
has become clear now.
Sources say that Nitish
never wanted Pande to
remainDGPwhileBihar
assembly elections were
held because he always
tookPandetobemoreof
a BJP man. It is a replay
of an 11-year-old
story when Pan-
de had sought
VRS and want-
ed to contest
elections from
Buxar on a BJP
ticket. His politi-
cal ambi-
tions bit
the dust
t h e n
very much like now.
Sources say Pande had
resigned from his covet-
edgovtjobonlyafterget-
ting consent from CM
Nitish Kumar but clever
politician Nitish shifted
the ball in BJP’s court.
Nitish never asked BJP
for the Buxar seat to be
partof JDUquotaandhe
signalled Pande to ask
BJP for ticket from Bux-
ar. Meanwhile BJP had
its own fears regarding
the 2012 Muzaffarpur
Navruna Chakravarty
case to surface again.
The role of Pande in the
kidnap and subsequent
murder case of the Ben-
gali girl has been under
questioneversince.Now
both BJP and JDU have
asked Pande to remain
calm as he will be sent to
the legislative council of
thestatelater.SincePan-
de is not once but twice
bitten so he has decided
to focus on his NGO
which will work for dig-
nity of Bihar and mi-
grant Bihari labourers.
One company from Pat-
na has already been as-
signed to handle the so-
cial media of the NGO.

FIRST INDIA SUNDAY SPECIAL
BY TRIDIB RAMAN
Kartikey Dev Singh
In a surprise political
development at Sa-
potra, a maverick Ge-
hlot once again played
one more master-stroke
by deputing a rival BJP
leader Dr Kirodi Meena
to rush to the murder
site and to negotiate an
‘acceptable and suita-
ble’ package for the de-
ceased’s kin. Contrary
to the hopes of opposi-
tion and most of nation-
al news channels, who
were carrying a live
negative coverage of
the incident throughout
the day much to the em-
barrassment of the
state government, Ge-
hlot promptly succeed-
ed in reaching an agree-
ment with the family
members via his peace
ambassador Dr Kirodi
and a few other emis-
saries, including the lo-
cal administration. The
move had two apparent
repercussions i.e, to
further corner a Pilot
camp ‘hero’ Ramesh
Meena, who happens to
be the local MLA from
Sapotra and also to
provide an op-
portunity to Ki-
rodi to re-estab-
lish his image
and popu-
l a r i t y
among the upper caste
especially Vaishyas and
Brahmins.
The Sapotra priest
murder case had
caused much ten-
sion not just in
Karauli but also
raised concerns
across Ra-
j a s t h a n
and in
n a -
tional capital too. Right
after the murder, the
priest’s family had
been staging a protest
and made demands
from the state gov-
ernment of not
just a quick ac-
tion in the mat-
ter, but also to
compensate the
family. While
fifty lakh ru-
pees and
a gov-
e r n -
ment job were the
prime demands of the
family along with ac-
tion against accused
cops and arrest of per-
petrators, but the
family settled
for much less
than other-
wise perceived.
At a time when
the Congress
government is
in power
in the
state,
it is not a Congress
leader, rather a BJP
stalwart and currently
a parliamentarian for
the Upper House - Ki-
rodi Meena - who
played the pivotal role
in getting the agitation
to end and pacifying
the family members.
Kirodi played the role
of mediator in the en-
tire issue and made the
family agree to com-
pensation of ten lakh
rupees, contractual job
and pakka house.
While Kirodi’s involve-
ment seemed to be for
the aggrieved family,
however, it appears
that it has benefited
the state government
more than it did the
family! Though on the
face value Dr Kirodi
also sat on a ‘dharna’
to support the family’s
demands but it was
merely a ‘role play’ and
only for the public con-
sumption.
Aditi Nagar
New Delhi: When
any individual is ac-
corded a place of
power, he/she has to
prove their worth by
carrying out the
functions effectively.
And it happens only
a handful of times
during a tenure that
any individual gets
to prove his ‘salt’ in
full public view. It
was one such day for
PCC Chief Govind
Singh Dotasra who
not only had to bring
in the required num-
ber of farmers from
various parts of Ra-
jasthan for the
‘Kissan Sammelan’
at Birla auditorium
but also ensure that
Corona health proto-
col was followed to
the hilt. But most of
all if the leader from
Sikar proved any-
thing, it was that it
was the right choice
of CM Ashok Gehlot
that he opted for Do-
tasra for the critical
assignment of PCC
Chief.
Dotasra ensured
that no one was al-
lowed to enter without
mask while also mak-
ing attendees sit with
gaps between them
while hand sanitizing
was also ensured. In
fact CM Ashok Gehlot,
known for being obser-
vant of the minute de-
tails, lauded Dotasra’s
efforts saying, “I would
like to congratulate
Govind Dotasra for he
organized the program
on guidelines of AICC
while ensuring that
proper corona guide-
lines are followed. The
way a Jan Aandolan
against Corona has
been carried out and
the way this program
has been organized, it
will send a positive
message across the
state.”
By demonstrating
his exceptional man-
agerial and organi-
sational skills at Bir-
la auditorium on Sat-
urday, Gehlot’s ‘new
experiment’ Dotasra
proved beyond doubt
that he is the right
choice for this cru-
cial assignment,
which was being held
by the prominent re-
bel leader Sachin Pi-
lot for more than six
years. According to
sources, at the time
of getting Dotasra’s
candidature ap-
proved from Sonia
Gandhi, a confident
Gehlot had given his
‘personal guarantee’
to justify Dotasra’s
nomination.
Meanwhile, address-
ing the program after
CM Gehlot’s address,
PCC president Govind
Singh Dotasra said
that at a time when the
Centre should work to
eliminate coronavirus
infection, “it is work-
ing to finish farmers
from the country”. He
alleged that Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi did not take a sin-
gle decision for the
benefit of farmers,
small traders and la-
bourers in the last sev-
en years of being in
power.
Targeting the Modi
government, Dotasra
said that PM Modi
had promised double
income but a game
was played only be-
cause he could not
fulfil the promise.
Dotasra said the Con-
gress will raise the
voice of farmers and
its workers will car-
ry out a signature
campaign across the
state and submit a
memorandum to the
President.
State minister for
technical education
Subash Garg said the
bills have been intro-
duced under trade
and commerce sec-
tor, which will bene-
fit capitalists.
Agriculture minis-
ter Lal Chand Kataria
said the laws will
strengthen capitalists
and weaken farmers.
He said the future
generations will pay
the price of these
“black laws”.
CPI (M) MLA Bal-
wan Poonia also ad-
dressed the meeting.
Interestingly, almost
half a dozen Pilot
camp MLAs also at-
tended Dotasra’s
Kissan show, may be
even for a ‘formal’
presence.
Kirodi Meena, man who saw Congress through Sapotra ‘storm’!
Well done, Dotasra! The right choice of Gehlot!

WEEKLYWEEKLY
ARIES
MAR 21 - APR 20
This week you need to devote time to the deeper
needs that you have neglected, but they keep
haunting you. Some emotional frictions will take
place, as a result of the interference of people in
your relationship. At the same time, unexpected
events will change your daily routine and you won’t
be able to stop them, for now. Make the most of
your communication skills, be flexible and specific
during conversations on commercial, financial or
practical issues. Don’t take risks that you cannot
handle. Expect positive developments this week.
LIBRA
SEPT 24 - OCTOBER 22
This week will bring you positive developments
and a chance to grow. Just when you thought
that a collaboration was over, things change for
the better and you really want to succeed. You
will be able to win some things easily, just by
talking and communicating, which will boost
your morale. A financial issue or a real-estate
problem will arise and you will have to handle
it as diplomatically as possible. Otherwise, it
might drag you into decisions that will not be
beneficial for you.
TAURUS
APR 21 - MAY 20
This week will be intense, full of conflicts and
strong emotions. This is not the right time for
major decisions that could make you commit to
new love stories; maybe you should wait until
the end of the month. Enjoy what life has to give
you and remain indifferent to the tensions, fights
and problems that are unfolding around you. Your
energetic mood will help you resolve the issues
in your love life. Find more time for your partner,
express your most romantic self and, together, you
can fly to heaven!
SCORPIO
OCT 23 - NOVEMBER 22
Your collaborations and relationships are making
you stronger. You will need to keep your promises,
if you want people to consider you trustworthy. You
need to maintain a good reputation, in order to
make better contacts and make the most of the new
opportunities that you will get. You need to follow
through with your promises or contracts, in order to
avoid any future difficulties. What you really need
to do, even though it stresses you, is open up and
communicate with the people who are close to you,
like your family.
GEMINI
MAY 21 - JUNE 21
This will be a tiring but also creative week,
especially in the professional area. You will face
some issues in your love life, but the planets will
help you get your points across where you have to.
Try to be honest with yourself and keep your feet
on the ground. At the same time, be diplomatic and
don’t point out every single mistake other people
make. At work, whatever happens, your progress
will be unstoppable. Your love life requires your
attention, since you have neglected it due to all the
fuss in the other areas of your life.
SAGITTARIUS
NOV 23 - DEC 22
Your strength and your team-spirit will help you
spread your wings and fly, towards things you have
always wanted to do. Your activities with other
people will bring you even better opportunities
that will help you move forward. New contacts
will introduce you to a whole new social circle.
You need to make the most of everything you are
given, because sometimes you get lost within your
complex thinking. Keep things simple and clear as of
now especially. Your mood will be good and you will
spend a lot of quality time with your partner.
CAPRICORN
DEC 23 - JAN 20
You have set your mind on some thing for quite
some time now and you will manage to move
forward, if you are practical and mature. You will
achieve something good that will cheer you up.
Your relationships and your communication are
improving, thanks to your efforts and the energy
of the planets. You know what you have to do and
you are willing to do it. You prefer to devote time to
your job, but you need to make some extra effort in
order to get what you want. Developments in your
relationship will be positive.
LEO
JULY 24 - AUGUST 23
While you can be flexible and try for the best, you
never compromise. You seem to be an absolute
person and you do not accept any interference or
suggestion about what is right or wrong by anyone.
In a possible conflict over some key issues, you
will continue with this attitude and never rethink
your point of view, especially if you think you are
right. Sometimes you do not need to fight more to
accomplish things, because you exaggerate and
you can not enjoy the moment. Your love life will
be a bit stressed, with a lot of tension and nagging.
AQUARIUS
JAN 21 - FEB 19
This week you will want to do many things,
but at the same time you might feel tired or
demotivated. Thus, you will stay away from people
you love, in an effort to save up some energy. Your
mood is weird and you have no time to waste. You
might be thinking slowly and delaying everything,
or you might with to change the environment in
which you are living. The return of a friend or
colleague will make you revisit your past, and you
will not like that. Thankfully, this will only be a
temporary phase for you.
VIRGO
AUG 24 - SEP 23
You have already made a great effort and you
are on a good path, as long as you remain
conciliatory and you cooperate. The planets
will help you start implementing your plans.
Meeting people and discussing with them, even
if you don’t agree with their views, will give you
valuable insight on work issues, that you can use
in the future. You might get confused and feel
unable to decide which path to follow, but at least
you are still in the game. You will also feel a bit
irritated, due to all the workload.
PISCES
FEB20 - MARCH 20
All this time you have been trying to find the
right path for you. You are disappointed because
things around you are not as fair as you wish
they would be, and that discourages you from
joining new social circles. Justice is subjective,
so don’t be so sure that your colleagues are
underestimating you, because it might not be
true. An issue with some property will go very
well for you. Your finances will also go well and
you will feel like you are moving forward in all
areas.
CANCER
JUNE 22 - JULY 23
You have been overreacting lately, but from now on,
the only things calling for extreme reactions will be
your social and professional life. You won’t have to
think about what to do, as you will spontaneously
follow the rules and do the right thing. You will change
your image and your looks and this will make you
stand out more. Your relationships will define your
future, as the planets make you handle them in a
dynamic and restrained manner. You need to make
some time for your partner. Don’t focus on the negative
aspects of your relationship, but on the positive ones.
