Predictions by Pt P Khurrana
  The stars reveal  
 

In our series on astrological predictions by Pt P Khurrana, of the 12 zodiac signs, we will be publishing the traits of two signs in every issue of our magazine. Beginning with this issue we bring to you the consumers of two cardinal signs, Aquarius and Pisces

 
     
  Aquarius is the sign of the thinker and is ruled by Saturn. Saturn stands for truth, honesty, probe, popularity and institution. One characteristic nearly always present in most aquarians is ‘droopy eye lids’. The lids turn sharply downwards from about the middle of the eyes. This feature is so common in aquarians all over the world that often drooping eyes are called ‘aquarian eyes’.
An aquarian is extremely independent, and cannot be tied down for long. In general, an aquarian is very lively, helpful, inventive and individualstic. At times, they can also be very unpredictable, rebellious and may look at the things in a suspicious manner.

Aquarian shopping demeanor
An aquarian buyer tends to do very well in any ‘out of ordinary’ dealing in terms of buying various products. Shopping gives them maximum satisfaction only when the items they buy are branded, trendy and come with a guarantee card.
An aquarian would not care if the items that they have bought are costly. In fact, an aquarian consumer is a spendthrift and may end up borrowing money for buying luxuries! An aquarian would get busy in routine shopping even at the airport before taking the flight. In fact, they can easily miss the flight because they are engaged in futile shopping!
While shopping, an aquarian could be talkative, excited and friendly. However, a sudden change of mood is likely at the time of paying the bill. So retailers, beware!

Pisces, the day dreamer, is governed by two forces : Neptune and Jupiter. Neptune symbolises the world of illusion whereas Jupiter symbolises intellect..
The pisces ideogram consists of two fish, joined by a cord, although they face in opposite directions. This ideogram can be interpreted as a combination of two ways of life or two modes of thought expressing the ambivalent qualities of a piscean. The fish also express alternating motion, from above to below, and then from below to above: this evokes a person who, after having descended into the physical world, longs for the absolute. A piscean is emotional, easy going, self sacrificing, understanding and sociable. He has an innate compassion for work involving animals as he genuinely feels that human beings are responsible for looking after all living creatures. Nursing, healing, alternative medicine and the psychic sciences appeal to a piscean.

Piscean shopping demeanor
A creative and a gifted shopper, a piscean is able to see past labels, price-tags, zeroing in on the potential of a purchase. The fish loves scurrying about town, visiting vintage stores, markets and shops, until he has unearthed another great prize. A piscean especially enjoys shopping for the home and is forever rescuing retro lamps and couches to re-do, re-cover and revamp them into a completely stylish and unique piece.
A word of caution for every piscean: Avoid impulsive purchases.
