One of India's only three paranormal experts, Dr. Kotiya tells you what destiny looks like in the new year.
By Dr. Madhu Kotiya With the new year come new hopes, dreams, and of course resolutions. While your actions tend to decide your fate, destiny, too, has a major role to play.
Here is what your year will look like according to your zodiac sign:
Health You have two or three close friends with whom you work and play in joy and harmony. The time of stress that occurs this year is the time when these friends will be a major support to you. The circumstances and events you experience in 2017 are bound to bring about significant change and growth for you on a spiritual level.
Professional Life There's a distinct picture of restriction, stress and difficulty around your career this year, Aries. Yet, money will come your way, as it's needed. However, you may have to fight to maintain that income, due to some sort of misunderstanding. With the help of old friends and family you will win that battle and apart from having experienced the stress at that time, all will be well. There is certainly money for you, Aries, but this will come after a period of extreme change in your worklife. You may find a particularly deep friendship or partnership in connection to this income.
Love & Relationships You will find you have reason to stand your ground and defend yourself when it comes to interaction with loved ones. It may be easy for you to lose confidence in this situation, but remember to investigate the opinion of others, and see whose fault it is. Do not take on blame that is not yours. Silence is golden in most situations, except where your boundaries are being breached.
Health A chance taken in recent times will prove to be a significant win for you, Taurus. News about this win will advance your emotional wellbeing. This will open the way for you to turn some of those excellent creative ideas to concrete reality. Action taken in this direction is bound to be successful. You will make extra efforts this year to bring about improvements in your health and fitness regime. Be sure to get all your routine check-ups done.
Professional Life Recent discord within your career may cause you to choose to walk away from a lucrative avenue of work. You have lost joy in that arena and it is wise to walk away. Victory is all around you thanks to this choice and any problems that cross your path as a result of this change will be swiftly and easily overcome.
You might have to make a small sacrifice in order to achieve inner peace.
Destiny is inducing good financial times for Taureans. Money will come to you from unexpected areas and is simply given to you rather than earned by labour. Money will also come as a result of work done in the past, or maybe investments made, that blossom or mature in 2017.
We see celebration and entertainment in your happy home. Redecorating or renovating is possible at this time.
Love & Relationships The reason a young person is so adversarial and angry with you is that they are dealing with fear. They're afraid and don't understand why or what about. It would be worthwhile for the pair of you to get some sort of counselling. Although this will involve you in more work and time than you seem to have available, it will be well worth the sacrifice. Try to make efforts in your current relationship, it is easy to give up and it is more difficult to maintain a relationship but totally worth it.
Lucky number: 7 Lucky day: Friday Lucky colour: Blue
Health You will celebrate your new freedom and the joy it brings you. You will have forged a victory over your innate fears and sense of self worth. You will find finances are just fine, which will put you in a space where you can explore creative expression. Your emotional and physical wealth are brimming with joy.
Professional Life It seems the issue arising in your sector of romance and relationships is most pertinent to this, your career sector. You'll feel nervous about making the shift advised above, but in doing so you'll feel the very foundations of your life undergoing a great renewal and regeneration that will free you.
Seek advice from a financial professional as to how best to redistribute your finances in order to make the best of your new professional intentions and the consequent financial changes involved. You'll be under pressure about this shift, Gemini, both at home and at work. But peace of mind and the blooming of joy will easily overcome such opposition to your choices.
Love & Relationships You're going to have to stand boldly for your rights this year as someone tries to manipulate you. This is a time where it will be wise for you to choose to walk a whole new path, one that moves you away from the stress and rancour that is so out of sync with your spirit and emotional wellbeing. There's so much out there on this passage of change that will bring you joy! Even money becomes more manifest with this change.

Cancer
Health You may have damaging thoughts or situations that will lead to you beating yourself up and feeling low and down. Look around for spiritual counselors and look upto them. Try to engage in activities that speak to your mind and soul. Listen to your heart this year and get out of your vicious circle.
Professional Life Your work will have the flavour of foreign shores. Even though this avenue is rather burdensome for you, due to lengthy travel and difficult hours, it's your best bet for income at this time. It may not be your favourite style of work, but it is in the field you do crave to work. If an opportunity comes up this year of a longer journey for work than usual, take it. It will lead to a victory you haven't expected.
It's all for your family and even though you are nervous about adequate income it will come to you. This is not a time of great prosperity, but it is an adequate amount you'll be earning and it's within your spirit's scope of satisfaction.
Love & Relationships Both your greatest joy and your greatest anxiety revolve around your family. It may be family of origin or family of construction, probably both, that will hold your major focus this month. Your anxiety is around the financial demands regarding family needs. The joy is in how your heart swells with joy when you see how rich your family life is. You will have to apply your wisdom this month towards defining your priorities as to just where you place your energies and resources.
Lucky number: 15 Lucky day: Wednesday Lucky colour: Brown
Health Your straightforwardness and adaptability to any situation is heightened, making you a comfortable and easy person. You do manage to maintain emotional balance and harmony at this time when someone has put you in a difficult financial position. You've invested a great deal of patience and care around the financial disarray imposed upon you. The good news is that your investment in that good and kind behaviour will actually turn the situation around and entirely to your best interests. It may take a few months, but the outcome will, in time, be a matter for celebrating a financial victory.
Professional Life Now is a time for making judicious decisions about your career life. Currently you are very busy, but this is actually keeping you tired and distressed, rather than energised and happy. A rather earthy person will be of great help to you as you examine your situation and begin to build a new path for yourself. This is going to be more nourishing on all levels. With wisdom as your guide, you will be victorious in the change of direction. Initially it's going to be your own labours that set you on an even financial keel in December.
Love & Relationships You're going to find yourself very disappointed with someone closely connected to your life. You will be strong in the face of a deception, which leaves you struggling financially this year. You will receive some finances as promised, but not the main deal you would have struck. Persistence on your part will forge a renewal, a regeneration of the better part of the person who's manipulated you. You will eventually get that which was promised you. Keep pushing.
Health You will feel your energy are levels high but your mind keeps wandering. You may feel indecisive at times with restlessness preceding your every decision. Expect to apply yourself to two, probably three different avenues of work for income. But before you act on this advice, you have to go into battle to retrieve money owed to you from your previous avenue of work. You will definitely win this battle, but there will be sorrow in that victory, mainly around disappointment that a person could attempt such a deception upon a fellow being.
Professional Life All is not as it seems in your sector of career. You're enjoying the freedom that a recent fulfillment of your wishes has provided, but you've also factored in that which you've been led to expect around your work. Just when you realise you've been let down or manipulated, you'll also realise that destiny's hand is active here and you'll overcome the negativity and be led to a far better career path. So, victory on your part will be the outcome. Having walked away from an avenue of work that has lost all its attraction for you, wisdom will dictate that you take what you've learned on that path and re-invent your career, but in a different form. An offer of partnership will be well worth looking into, as it will bring about a much freer, self-directed opportunity for income, as well as creative regeneration
Love & Relationships News comes your way at this time which indicates that some superior power, whether the government, immigration, church, or medical, have put something of a pall on your plans. A plan is postponed, or an expected meeting unable to take place. This touches on your emotional feeling of connection. Have patience Virgo, because with the help of a friend or partner, that which has been put on the back burner will come to the forefront again.
Lucky number: 11 Lucky day: Tuesday Lucky colour: Black
Health As the year begins, you're feeling quite content: financially secure and creatively active. Then come some home truths that seem to upset that apple cart. You'll be undertaking a new way to run certain relationships and although this will be unstable at first, in time the new path will be beneficial, as you leave some of those emotional sorrows behind.
Professional Life There's a big change coming in your career sector, dear Libra. How that pans out for you depends on just where your career sits prior to 2017. If you've been a bit down and out, well, things will get much better. If you've been high rolling prior to 2017, you'll likely take a bit of a setback. However it works for you, you won't be left with inadequate funds. You will experience a financial victory this year and it seems to be in association with a friend or partner. Terrific as this boon will feel, you still need to keep your head about you, because there could be a bit of a deceit in play around the delivery of that which is yours by right. You'll be in the process of celebrating when even better financial news comes your way.
Love & Relationships This is about people working together, be it in a relationship or a work situation without losing their individuality and in respectful harmony. Well Libra, you're going to have to fight in order to attain such a pleasing outcome where a specific relationship is concerned. You will win, but you're certainly going to have to be more flexible to make this work. Loneliness would be the price you'd pay if you don't seriously study what that relationship needs.
Health You can't help but feel sad and depleted as you analyse difficulties in a close relationship, as well as events in your financial sector. The good news is that, with the help of a few friends who truly understand you, you will be victorious over all problems and come through to harmony across all sectors. Go for your routine health checkups as you might be missing on to something.
Professional Life As you choose to take time out to understand a relationship issue, you also are taking time out to rethink your career situation. All is actually well in your career, but the break affords you time to regenerate your creative energies. You will come back to the career arena wherein your wishes concerning your profession will soon come true. This will be to your greater good both emotionally and financially. Take great care where your finances are involved in any sort of partnership, because there's someone, or even just some system that would take from you what is in justice yours. You will pull through to greater financial health, but it won't be without a battle. Unsure as you might feel, you'll once again find your wishes coming true.
Love & Relationships There have been a few fights and squabbles in recent times around you, Scorpio. It seems this is due to a lack of understanding between Scorp and a specific other who perhaps holds the purse strings at this time. Information comes your way that encourages you to take a bit of time out from this difficult atmosphere, so you can meditate on the situation and decide what to do. Taking a chance will bring you to greater understanding and the wisdom whereby you can make a wise choice
Health I see our Archer celebrating this year. It seems that your every move in every sector works like magic toward your betterment. Any negativity that arises needing your management will be swiftly and easily overcome. It may not be the easiest year, but it will become a joyous one. You will soon find happiness within and may even tilt towards self exploration and meditation.
Professional Life This is a time for taking stock of your career possibilities. Destiny has you working on a career avenue that engages your greatest skill; yet you wonder if you can carry the burden of continuing in your current employment and seriously working on adding that other string to your career bow as the primary career move. In partnership with another, you could easily turn the career stakes around to your greater advantage. This is a time for taking stock of your career possibilities.

Love & Relationships Single people will likely meet someone new. You're sitting strong and in a state of inner harmony while it seems those around you are going off like raging rockets. If they're not depressed, they're fighting. Extra money coming your way allows you to make a study of some sort that helps you maintain your own inner peace while the storm rages. You need a break from this environment. Take a holiday and let those who have the problems solve their own issues.

Capricorn
Health Healthy mind would also comfort your body. Give it some thought. Take the time to feed your spirit. Believe it or not, your health life will benefit as a result. Drink plenty of water, juices to avoid dehydration. After a recent internal battle around exactly what you believe is your spiritual understanding, you come through to enjoying a fine spiritual harvest. But just as you feel at peace with your understandings, something occurs that has you walking away from your old, tried and true beliefs, as you take on new and quite alternative understandings. Your hopes for greater clarity will come true, but remember, it's the journey that matters here, not the destination.
Professional Life You're sitting pretty where your career is concerned, Capricorn. There have been difficulties in the recent past, but it seems that's all sorted and you're feeling secure and contented. Yet, news comes your way of a hiccup where wages are concerned. You'll have to deal with that as soon as you realise it. You will win, even if the battle takes a bit out of you. Recent depletion of your finances will slowly but surely rebuild back to previous solidity. There's something to do with foreign climes that might upset the financial applecart again, but if you stand your ground and insist on ethical dealings, your wishes over financial circumstances will be granted, with more than you'd even expected.
Love & Relationships Well Cap, you seem to be quite emotionally topsy-turvy this year. One moment you're all contentment and joy and the next it's as if you've never been happy or emotionally well-partnered. You've got some emotional sorting to do. Distinguish the emotions that are purely self-engendered, from those which are imposed on you by another. If you will but own up to what is simply your mood and know what is being imposed upon you, then you'll have a clear idea as to whether you're in the right relationships.
Health This year sees you walk away from something or someone that has meant a great deal to you for some while. Actually, when the scales fall from your eyes around the facts concerning the situation, you'll end up feeling that you've had a lucky escape from a proverbial bullet. Everything looks up from here. You need a counselor, a healer who could dispel your ignorance. Spiritualism, meditation and other Yogic practices could be very helpful making you a balanced person.
Professional Life The hand of destiny is upon this sector for Aquarius. Although you've been quite happy with your home situation, it's time to begin putting the foundations into a regeneration and renewal of that career of yours. You will come up with some fine ideas and you'll also be inundated with interesting offers. It's your rather excellent business mind that will be applied to choosing your actions. It's all good.
You receive news this year that a battle you've waged for money owed has been won. This brings you greater peace of mind and heart. You'll feel a fancy to get deep into nature and you'll likely not be alone as you enjoy the break that this good news has allowed you to take. We see a very contented Aquarius over this period of time.
Love & Relationships Your support and cooperating nature to your loved ones will get you a new title which could be lifting your spirit forever. So, you win a victory around an emotional or romantic situation. But is that win all you'd hoped it might be? Somehow you're more alone once you've won your victory than you were prior to such a win. In fact you end up in a state of exhaustion and stress as a result of getting what you want. A richer emotional harvest is available to you, once you face a less-than-welcome reality.
Lucky number: 14 Lucky day: Tuesday Lucky colour: Brick red
Health You are likely to feel a great deal of spiritual peace and happiness. Your self-esteem is possibly higher than it has ever been, which a very good thing is. You are likely to become quite distressed by the challenges you experience concerning your income. It will be a disappointment that the person or persons concerned can be so uncooperative. Do try to minimize your reactivity to the negativity. It only serves to lodge distress into a bodily reaction when you allow someone else's ill behaviour to enter your space.
Professional Life Your career, on which your income is dependent, is satisfactory as the month begins. What will become clear this year is the instability of that income. You keep faith with the consistent work you do, but that income source is not as reliable and consistent. Whilst maintaining your gentle persuasive requests, you will find it possible to set up a deal that will give you the regularity of income you need in order to continue to do your job well. This sector pertains particularly to events in your above sector of career. You have a financial win ahead this month. There will be some difficulty with someone whose cooperation your finances depend on. They will bend to your persuasions and stabilize the process of payments to you. You will investigate ways of engaging income apart from this avenue and will be victorious in all endeavours.
Love & Relationships After quite a long period of feeling rather alone, you'll be enjoying warmth, love and harmony in both hearth and home. Share your good fortune by entertaining at home. Yet, later in the month you'll have to deal with a negative attempt to manipulate and deceive you. If you have even the slightest doubt about a plan or idea, don't agree to it. Stand strong and listen to your deeper intuition, no matter how forceful an opponent may get.
