Microsoft chairman, Scorpio Bill Gates, will invest Rs. 2,000 crore in India over the next 3 years. Ganesha points out the business acumen, the generosity of and also the prestige enjoyed by Scorpios. The buzzwords for you, Scorpios, will be insight, investigation, intuition, the 31's. 2004 to 2006 will be your years in the sun! Are you listening, Scorpio Shah Rukh Khan? This is what you can expect this year: a) you will take a leaf from Thomas Jefferson, who "could calculate the eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, draw blueprints for buildings, break a horse, judge legal cases, launch a Republican party, dance a minuet and play the violin." I am sure you now get idea; b) the second half of the year, June 18 to December 16, Mars, your main planet, finds you in the white heat of passion, romance, children, tantra, yoga, spirituality, rituals for the living and the dead, pilgrimages, speculation, sports, gambling with life itself, and that's certainly a great adventure. You will chance your arm and your heart, as the saying goes; c) April will be for funds and finances, August propels you right into the tremendous pressure cooker of work, be it job, profession or business. September fuses pleasure and profit. November is for finding out how good you really are, looking at yourself in the mirror, and smiling in sweet satisfaction. Despite all the perks and power and freebies, bad health, accidents and a sudden financial squeeze and stranglehold are also indicated. Life itself is a mosaic, a pattern of colours and diversity. Sometimes, the stakes can be set against you. That's the real test of character. Let me predict that you will come out of it valiantly and well.
