US and India Seal Major Trade Pact as Tariffs Fall and Energy Ties Shift

                                      US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi  The United States and India have reached a significant new trade agreement that lowers U.S. tariffs on Indian goods to 18%, marking a major step toward easing recent economic frictions.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Upheavals in your personal life are likely over the coming year but they will actually be good for you. Too often in the past you have ignored tensions in your closest relationships but that is no longer an option, so be honest with everyone, including yourself

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

It is essential that you are decisive today, even if you secretly believe that you may be making a bad call. Sometimes in life the way we act can be more important than whether it is a good act or a bad one. Such a time is now.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Changes planet Uranus ends its retrograde phase in your sign today, so over the next few days things will come to light that you were unaware of or, more likely, that you chose to pretend did not exist. There can be no more lying to yourself.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

As one of the zodiac’s air signs you are restless by nature but over the next 24 to 48 hours your nervous energy will go into overdrive. Be smart and make a point of sitting quietly, if only for five minutes, every couple of hours.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If you look for the bigger picture today it will come into focus and you will realize you have got too caught up in petty details of late. Also, look for the silver lining in every cloud – it always exists, no matter how dark some clouds may be.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

Does everyone but you seem to be enjoying themselves? It may look that way but more likely you are being needlessly pessimistic about life and need to lighten up a bit. If a friend invites you along to a social event just go and have fun.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

You will have to do something today that you would rather avoid but you know it has to be dealt with now rather than later on. It won’t hurt to put your other plans on hold until later in the week – in fact you will enjoy them more.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

There is no point getting angry with people who cannot be bothered to make an effort, and there is no point getting angry with yourself if you are confused by a situation you have never encountered before. Not everything in life has to make sense.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Uranus, planet of upheaval, ends its retrograde phase in the partnership area of your chart today, which signifies that a long-running feud is coming to an end. Whether it is a “good” end or a “bad” end depends on how you choose to define those words.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

It is important that you stay on good terms with the people you work alongside, not least because the next few days will see the sort of changes that make everyone a bit jumpy. Whatever the challenges, you must face them together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

Although you always strive to be happy it can be hard to deal with events that are more likely to make you cry than make you laugh. Today, more than most days, you will need to remind yourself that everything happens for a good cosmic reason.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Avoid people who enjoy wallowing in feelings of doom and gloom. You know who they are and you know that if you don’t keep them at arm’s length their negativity could rub off on you. The world is and always will be a wonderful place.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

If you look for the best in each and every situation today you will find it, especially if you get out and about and mix with a wide range of people. At heart most individuals are good, though it may not always seem that way.
