18 METRO Thursday, September 24, 2009 D People are talking about you, and Im not surprised with the dramatics your life is playing at this time. Try to keep the really outrageous actions for behind closed doors. Youll thank me later. Your emotions and thoughts should be well balanced today. An inner sense of peace should abound, as you finally come to terms with what happened and realise what you now need to do. The charitable side to your nature comes to the fore, and you find yourself helping those who are unable to help themselves. Dont be manipulated by a Leo though, who seems to be playing you. Your suspicious nature is aroused, and you find yourself accusing your close ones of things they have not done. Get your proof, before you start accusing. You could be letting your imagination run away with you. Lost items turn up. Youre able to tackle the matters which you did such a good job of putting off earlier in the week. This is due to the positive attitude the stars have handed you. Your tendency to day dream can get you into trouble. Today though, it is an asset as it helps you to find an answer to a past problem. You leave the past behind at last. This is a good time to lay down plans for the future. You are able to view what you need clearly, and those who were not willing to help previously, now welcome you with open arms. This is a really important time for you romantically. You find yourself at peace with your choices in love, and you no longer blame yourself for what did not work out. Serenity rules, as does love. Younger faces are looking to you for advice and guidance. Just be careful that the flippant mood you are experiencing today, does not lead you to speak words which may lead them astray. Show wisdom please. Some sort of a long distance relationship is making it hard for you to concentrate on the here and now. Why dont you make that phone call, so we can all get on with our day? Try not to blame others for work that did not go as it should. If youre not careful, you will start a war of words which youll not only lose, but which could affect you professionally. Dont get involved in confrontations, but talk things through. We are all capable of saying things in the heat of the moment, but you should have learnt by now this cannot get you anywhere, havent you?
