Focus on inner growth

LIBRA
September 24 to October 23

Mantra of the year: Work on yourself from the inside out.

The year 2009 for the articulate and artistic Libran is one of soul searching and finding who they are. Librans are blessed with a happy, sunny spirit which they counter with their constant worrying about small matters. Librans are also gifted, gentle, persevering folks and believe in getting to their goals slow and steady. When challenged, they can show their controlling streak, however their way of viewing and making the best of every given situation is an art they use to the best of their ability. This year, all their creative thinking comes to their rescue as January sees the need for maximum strategy and execution techniques. Your resolution will be to be more calm and cool. You also need to focus on your inner growth rather than looking at the world outside.

Changes of all kinds are on the cards - be it relocation, a new project or a new home! The moves will also make you learn lessons from difficult situations and teach you how to challenge people in your professional life. It's vital for you to be honest with yourself for sustained success. Staying away from shortcuts and manipulations will help you progress and achieve your goals by August. Some of you may add more members to your team in order to expand your ideals and ideas. If connected with art and craft, you spend quality time on design and methods of advertising to give your best to the product.

Finances
Money owed to you returns in September, giving you the spending power to choose and enjoy. Purchasing and decorating a new home/office space in the winter months is indicated especially as the market conditions improve. For businessmen and lawyers, this year seminars and conferences prove to be fulfilling as you meet many a like-minded folk and exchange/work on good ideas that head towards common goals.

Romance
This year, you will connect with family and friends dispassionately. You give and share with your loved ones without expecting any in return. And that, by mid-year, will translate into balanced relationships at home. Travel over the weekends visiting friends is fun and frolic as your circle of love grows. Those single will enjoy happy dating and be at their flirtatious best.

Health
This year, health will remain good. You will need to watch out for minor accidents and soothe your nervous nature with walks, fresh foods and a lot of quality sleep. You will need to take care of your back and get a good massage every once in a while to wipe your stress lines away.

Ganesha Speaks

Career
Lucky year for fiscal gains through your career, but hardships or hard work may also be there. You might have to keep putting in more and more effort at the office. You may also receive due appreciation, but you may still feel bit dissatisfied with the position and power that you possess. This is the right time to go for further studies in order to build your career. If you wish to move out of your current job, please think twice as nothing worthwhile would come across your way during the first three quarters of the year.

Relationships
You will be at ease with your beloved or life partner in this year. New dimensions at the love front will lead the relationship to the next level of understanding and your love for your beloved or spouse may become more intense. This year you are likely to enjoy a passionate time together. Ganesha feels that this is the right year to think about marriage and go ahead positively, if you are single and looking.
