Astrologer and numerologist Manish Kumar Arora shares his yearly predictions.

Pisces
Feb. 19 – March 20

You will stay very organized and want to be creative. You’ve been through a lot, and you are ready to finally see that silver lining. A strong friendship could turn into something romantic from April to August. You are nearing the point where work, success and recognition are well within your grasp. Do your best to be organized and productive. You must also draw upon your willpower and self-discipline. Think long and hard before restarting an old romance from October to December. Allow your beloved to give to you (whether that’s in the material or spiritual realm), and at the same time, make sure that you are doing your fair share of giving to the relationship. If you are unattached but looking, you are likely to meet someone new who is positive, kind and generous. Favourable Dates: 1, 4, 10, 13, 19, 22. Favourable Colours: Blue and red.

Aries
March 21 – April 19

There will be positive changes in your personality and 2016 will make you wise and far-sighted. This is an excellent year for starting new projects, or taking advantage of any offers or opportunities that come your way. This is a wonderful time of heightened self-expression, eloquence and confidence. Your wit, charm and sound opinions will give you the urge to expand your horizons, try new, bigger and better things, to have more fun and make more money. It’s a perfect time to network, share your ideas and seek out like-minded souls who’ll enrich your life. During the period from June 17, when Venus enters the Cancer sign, if you are single, you are likely to meet someone who is fun, but who is quite a demanding individual. Favourable Dates: 1, 8, 10, 17, 19, 26. | Favourable Colours: Blue and white.

Taurus
April 20 – May 20

Your ability to initiate and accept change will help you excel. Your varied experiences will allow you to branch out and pursue a wider variety of interests that will contribute to what you have to offer. Changes made to your financial situation will bring strong results. Watch for disruptions in personal relationships and general plans from March 24 to Aug. 2, when Saturn becomes retrograde. From Aug. 3, you will feel energetic and showing your leadership skills will work for you. Time spent doing a good job will ensure that you have more work coming your way. You will be blessed with good fortune. Love is highlighted from Aug. 22, and spending extra time nurturing a relationship that is important to you will help enhance the connection. Favourable Dates: 1, 3, 10, 12, 19, 21. | Favourable Colours: Yellow and white.

Gemini
May 21 – June 20

Your communications and focus may largely revolve around your life path or career. When the Sun enters the Aquarius sign on Jan. 20, you may want to converse with someone about what you should do with your life, what direction you’re going in, how to get what you want or how to build a stronger foundation for your life. Your plans and goals will come to successful fruition and your answer will be a resounding “yes” to new professional initiatives. During the period from June 17, when Venus enters the Cancer sign, you may feel more romantic, or want to spend more time doing something artistic. You may also want to seek out a romantic partner, if you’re unattached. Trusting your intuition will take you further than trying to chase frantically after something that’s blowing in the wind. Favourable Dates: 2, 5, 11, 14, 20, 23. Favourable Colours: Purple and green.

Cancer
June 21 – July 22

Your focus is crystal and sharp. Putting your energy behind projects at work will alleviate stagnation and provide stability to get off the ground. During February to May, you may also be inspired and motivated to spend time in building new relationships and connecting with new people, perhaps even around new projects or new interests. You are open to expanding your knowledge base during this cycle and communications from or with someone far away may be part of the picture. Things continue to be optimistic in your expectations, but you could feel things being somewhat out of proportion from June 20 onwards in terms of where you thought relationships stood. You need to spend wisely and curtail impulsive spending. In relationships, trusting your intuition right now will take you further than trying to chase frantically after something. Favourable Dates: 3, 7, 12, 16, 21, 25. | Favourable Colours: White and green.

Leo
July 23 – Aug. 22

The time is favourable for you to complete your planned projects but you will need to make clear strategies. You will not face many upheavals in your life but sudden expenses may increase your stress. You could accomplish your goals in this duration. A focus on your goals and positive efforts will widen your sources of income. Some indecisiveness is possible from July 22 to Sept. 22, because you naturally entertain opposing viewpoints. It can be difficult to get a point across or to move about effortlessly. Others may be rebellious, resistant to change or simply hard to pin down. Flashes of insight pave the way to dynamic changes on the job. Stop looking for the romance novel dating experience this year and start looking at what you have right in front of you.
Favourable Dates: 2, 3, 11, 12, 20, 21. | Favourable Colours: Yellow and black.

Virgo
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22

It is a very positive time for you and an excellent opportunity to strengthen relationships of all kinds. You will enjoy the company of others at this time. At this time you may be feeling full of wisdom.  You are asked to share this wisdom, along with your knowledge and experience, with others. The time is right for soul-searching and discovery of the inner realms. Your drive, determination and convincing way of dealing with others will help you get your way. You can make professional gains if you are practical and realistic. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. After Oct. 23, when the Sun enters the Libra sign, emotions will surface and sensitivity will mount. It’s all about focus, refusing to let the little things bother you and being emotionally balanced.Favourable Dates: 1, 2, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20. | Favourable Colours: Yellow and white.

Libra
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22

This year will give you more personal freedom and allow you to comfortably show a more unique side to your personality. You can look forward to many positive changes in your life. From March 6, when Mars enters the Sagittarius sign , you may be offered a new position at work which leads to a jump up the ladder. Take a closer look at a partnership that has the potential to help you achieve your professional goals. Love should be included in your agenda from May 9, when Jupiter goes direct in the Virgo sign. You may be feeling like you are in a state of self-imposed powerlessness and restriction from Oct. 23 and holding yourself back from taking steps to expand your business or profession because you fear moving into the future, or because you are wary of getting hurt by a new situation. Favourable Dates: 1, 6, 10,15, 19, 24. | Favourable Colours: Red and white.

Scorpio
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21

This period represents creativity, fertility, growth and abundance. All creative endeavours  will be well rewarded because you’re able to channel infinite creativity which will allow you to create your best work. For those who want to increase abundance in life such as money, it is time for rejuvenation to occur to your funds. You may have a magical glow to your aura that lights up any room you are in. You may be feeling highly energetic and lively. You will magnetically attract more wonderful things to you, magnifying and enriching your life. There could be news of pregnancy or motherhood for ladies. Opportunities to enhance or attract romance occur from April 30 when Venus enters Taurus. You will gain a new relationship or a new partner that will change your life for the better. Favourable Dates: 1, 3, 10, 12, 19, 21. Favourable Colours: Yellow and white.

Sagittarius
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21

You have been pursuing and moving forward in your profession steadily. If your current situation seems to require more experience than you can call upon, be open to the presence of a teacher or mentor in your life. Support of the establishment and respect for the rules are emphasized. The traditional way of doing things must work most of the time.  Trust in yourself, and in whatever powers you believe control the universe, to help you through difficult times. From April 30 when Venus enters Taurus to Sept. 23 when Venus leaves Libra, let the infinite energy of the divinity warm you and rejuvenate your soul to provide the strength and clarity of purpose you need to continue on your journey. You must combine the solidity of material existence with the waters of your emotions and of your spirit. Favourable Dates: 3, 8, 12, 17, 21, 26. Favourable Colours: Blue and white.

Capricorn
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19

It can be a year of joy, happiness, the birth of a child, a stable family, material prosperity or almost any other end that is positive — but above all it shows completion. One cycle is over and, before the next begins, there is a period of light and relaxation that you can and should properly enjoy. Success will come if you are confident and bold in the use of your creative energy. Glow with the vitality of the Sun whose light is unmatched and whose power is absolute. You have lived through the darkness long enough to see the inner light; it is time to help others who are not so fortunate. You’ve been through a lot, and you are ready to finally see that silver lining. A strong friendship could turn into something romantic. Favourable Dates: 6, 7, 15, 16, 24, 25. Favourable Colours: Blue and yellow.

Aquarius
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18

There is a feeling of settling down and establishing routines that support the demands on your energy. Special attention to diet and exercise will help you beat stress. Old connections resurface to reflect values and ideas that may be worn out or all grown up. After June 23, you could be finding your courage to step into unfamiliar territory. Friends both old and new appear to rekindle bonds. A much-needed vacation is on the agenda from October to December, so soak up the rest and relaxation. Synchronicity plays a big role this year, and connections can turn into beneficial helpers. You could be investing in a new home, making another big investment or preparing yourself for changes that are just around the corner. If you are in a relationship then be prepared for mushy love letters, romantic gestures and open affection. Favourable Dates: 1, 4, 10, 13, 19, 22. | Favourable Colours: Blue and red.
