16 METRO Monday, September 14, 2009 D You cant have your cake and eat it, but youre having a pretty good try at the moment, arent you Aries? Peace talks can change your future if youre willing to hold them before Thursday. Youve spent so long listening to what other people think you should do, you have failed to ask the most important person, you. You may just be surprised by the answer you come up with too. Dont expect your day to go as planned, but do expect to uncover information that could change the course of your life. You were doggy paddling towards your future, now you are swimming towards it. You are far more adventurous than you used to be. This new side to your character, which is evolving, should see you wanting to raise the temperature in love too. Interesting and very exciting times await. You begin this week with a sign of relief, as you discover that you dont have to commit to something which you did not want to do, and which ruined much of your weekend thinking about. Relationships are at the forefront of your mind. Plans, you make in the name of love, prove exciting and secretive. Dont trust colleagues to do your work for you today, theyre likely to let you down. Your ability to judge people is spot on today. Maybe youll finally see which friend has been using you for what you can do for them, rather than for what they can offer to your life? With the line up in our skies, you need to cut yourself some slack and take some time out. You need to celebrate what you have done, rather than commiserating over what you havent. Relationships with family improve at this time. You can even sort out your differences with that older face, which you have been at a stand off with since last year; and not a moment too soon! Something you are thinking of doing is not sitting well with your friends. If you wanted exactly what your close ones wanted, life would be pretty boring. Dare to dream, and dare to be different. You seem to be planning for an important event of some sort. Dont let nerves push you to spend money you dont need to. It is your company that was required, not a show of cash. You can afford to take chances today. You can also talk a close one into what you want; something which was previously not a possibility. Compromising with family however, casts you in a fantastic light. Start The Day THIS LIFE by Rick Brookes NEMI by Lise METROKU metro.co.uk/metroku CLOCKWORD 1. Venom 2. Sense, logic 3. Congenital 4.
