With Venus on ascendancy, joyous occasions are close by. Your social aspirations will not allow you to be laidback. Socialising could prove costly.

Pressure at home will increase. With the demands of your near ones on the rise, you will have to shell out some of your hard earned cash.

Born on

September 3

Your stars advise you to adopt a policy of appeasement or least resistance. Some people you may have to work with could be tense and irritable. Keep your cool and do not get provoked over trifles. Go for tried and tested ways to come out of the present stalemate. Cooperate with people at all levels. You will not get anywhere unless you receive genuine cooperation from your colleagues. The present impasse may continue to linger on for a little longer.

September 4

Everything hinges on the moon — the planet of your safety and welfare. With moon in the house of wisdom, there will be no paucity of sound judgment. Demands raised by those close to you will be quite reasonable. Socialising and merry-making will b top priority during January-February. You will remain overwhelmed with engagements during May-June. Family affairs may, however, remain neglected during the end part.

September 5

Be careful about your finances. Chances of increase in your income are remote while you may have to meet the unreasonable demands of those close to you. With mounting responsibilities, chances of your getting some relief are little. If in a joint venture, there will be many hurdles. It is a complicated year. Do not allow yourself to be swayed by complacency. Winds of change are blowing forcefully. Be on your guard lest you go astray.

September 6

With Mercury in the company of the dignified sun, luck will favour you. All matters, particularly financial ones, will proceed smoothly and there will be no looking back. You will cash in on good bargains, take wise decisions and pursue sensible options. At work, there is a possibility that a senior position may fall vacant which may prove to be a stepping stone to your prosperity. Make sure to keep the flow of communication unobstructed.

September 7

With Jupiter, your dominant planet, moving at a slow pace, the year appears to be an average one. You will find it difficult to keep pace with the progress achieved so far. Unexpected problems concerning your professional life will crop up and divert your attention from the main issues. You will remain in a dilemma. If planning to contest an election, luck will not oblige you. You requiremore insight into the problems you are confronted with.

September 8

An action-oriented year which will inspire you to take stock of the pending issues. It may not be that easy to gain success at the very outset but things will start picking up with each passing day. You will put your connections to better use and take advantage from them. In love, a clear headed approach to win the person of your dreams may be necessary. It is time to revive plans that have been left on the backburner.

September 9

The year demands more than normal expenditure. Your carefree habits will put you down. Your craze for adventure may increase. You should interact with the right kind of people and seek their advice. A modest effort on your part will not be enough to get you what you want. A desire to a visit a place of your choice may remain a dream. You will strengthen your willpower and be in a position to face odds successfully.
