16 METRO Wednesday, September 30, 2009 D It may be a Wednesday, but youre in full weekend mood, as you try to source information about what really happened. Phone calls, you receive after 6pm, should tell you all you need to know. Action makes the hero. You know what needs to be done to put things in order in your family. It takes effort, but youll reap the rewards when you see how happy an older face becomes. Today the home comes under the spotlight, and you have to face some really important questions concerning where you see yourself long term. You also have to ask yourself with whom, dont you, Gemini? Just because some of your friends choose to mock something, that doesnt mean you have to. Where is the strong independent Cancerian that I know and love. Still stuck in the weekends dramatics I bet! Arguments are futile today, so try to avoid them if at all possible, Leo. If you can concentrate instead on work affairs, then you stand yourself in with a chance of getting ahead of the competition. Saturn, the planet of structure, knows what you want and Mercury is no longer standing in your way. What does this all mean? You have the green light to turn your dreams into a reality. When you speak, people will listen today. That is why it is so important that you try to focus on your dreams. You can finally get the attention of the very people who ignored you yesterday. A close one wont budge on a change you want. What they dont realise, is that youve only just begun your campaign to get what you want. From here on in, youre taking off the gloves. With the planet Mercury finally direct, you now hold the power to finish what you have started. Keep your pace a slow one though, a certain person needs to know your intentions are serious. Make sure you look people in the eye when you talk to them today. It can make all the difference between you getting what you want, or missing out on opportunity, of all kinds. An enemy may chance to give good counsel today. Do your own research, its the only way youll tie up current affairs to your financial and professional advantage. Wear red for power in business. Mercury held you up most of this month. He slowed your journey and stopped finances getting to you. Hes come to his senses now; all you have to do is try again for what you wanted.
