16 METRO Friday, October 2, 2009 D Youre ready for the weekend. In fact if there is mischief to be found, you wont be far away. Just make sure youre not wasting the hard work you put into love affairs last week Aries. If you can use your time to tie up existing issues in your life, rather than starting new projects, then youll find the success you seek. Old documents, you need to find, can be your fortune. Stop living in the past and start working towards your goals. With the experience recent dramas taught you, you have all the tools you need to make your success the lasting kind. Focus, great things await. Someone knows more about you than you think. It seems new faces have done some digging in order to find out your current status and situation. Love affairs get exciting, prepare to be seduced. Your ruling planet, the Sun, favours all legal matters and important paperwork. A good time to do spreadsheets and work out the true amount you need to be saving or spending. Clarity will be yours. You would have thought you would learn the first time round Virgo, but it appears not. Face this problem head on. Going around the houses will only delay you gaining the upper hand again. Dont give into the emotional blackmail that is being heaped upon you. With the Sun in your sign, you hold more power than you realise. Speak your mind; for once the stars are backing you. You are reading too deeply into a problem in the workplace, which can actually be solved with a series of simple phone calls. Think outside the box, and the answer will be clear, my friend. Why would friends gossip about you, when they know how much you have been through recently? Because thats what people do. Rise above it. By focusing on what you want, success can and will be yours. I know you are feeling bad about something that did not pan out as you wanted. What you need to bear in mind, is that you still have options. Better ones, so take a look. New possessions, you acquire around this time, can do much for your confidence. Youve come a long way in the last couple of months, and offer you get this weekend, will confirm this fact. I know it can hurt when you fall out with a close one. Sometimes though, you need to part, to come back together again stronger. Rumours circulating will end up doing you a favour.
