CLOCKWORD THIS LIFE by Rick Brookes You find yourself in the limelight. You dont know if you love it or hate it. Enjoy, you can be proud of all youve done. You and I know you did all the hard work. This new and more honest approach, you are taking to life and love, seems to be paying off. People listen when you talk now, and last years set backs are just a distant memory. You are going to find it hard to resist the planets, as the stars throw you in the path of temptation. Only you know how far is too far. Set your standards sooner rather than later. This is a really good day for you to do some troubleshooting. Youve needed to reorganise your life for some time now. Foreign names and contacts prove really lucky for you too, so follow them. You are thinking with clarity, skill and confidence. Dont let a fragile family matter push you in the other direction. You have control, and now you just need to make sure you maintain it. Youre in a mischievous mood and just what you will do to satisfy it, remains to be seen. Be careful of gossiping about an ex. You may want to remember the saying about people in glass houses. The opportunity for you to learn things, which were previously not open up to you, could well change the course your life takes. Dont forget promises you made to family. Theyre counting on you. No matter how hard you try, youre going to find it impossible not to tell the truth when asked direct questions. Could this be the day you tell a close one what you really want? Either someone has been neglecting you, or you have been neglecting a loved one. Either way there is an issue to be solved and the sooner you work at it, the sooner it can be solved. Try to say what you want from your career. If those with the power dont know, then how can they ever help you? Paperwork is important; make sure you have posted what you need to. A large investment, either of your time or your money, is about to pay out in your favour. Have patience though, and resist adding more time and money if you dont have to. Get professional advice. Dont take an argument of some sort, which you have had with a loved one, too much to heart. The sooner you get back to a normal atmosphere, the better. Start now and they will follow.
