16 METRO Tuesday, October 6, 2009 D Dont let the more despondent of the signs convince you that you cant have fun or that you dont deserve to make your own choices. Stand tall or lose out in love tonight, Aries. Youre taking a deeper look at who you are and where you come from. You have assets which you have left untapped, but will now be able to utilise to your advantage both financially and otherwise. Its time to make your social circle smaller and, as Mercury has left his storm, you start to feel more freedom. Youre ready to work at your dreams and make life more structured to your desires. What good is their in a relationship or friendship, if you do not have faith that the person has your best interests at heart? How will you know this though, if you dont test it properly? Take your time when making any decisions today. An impatient mind could see you losing out on the opportunity of a lifetime. Sometimes you have to let the mists clear to see whats real. Dont believe the rumours circulating. If you do, you could end up ruining all that you have built up. Someone is trying to make an apology. Listen, theyre making more sense than you thought. You should now have the confidence to take on the world. Just make sure that this confidence doesnt turn into arrogance, or youll ruin the chances that powerful faces are willing to put your way. Slow your pace now Scorpio. Attention to detail is everything today. This can be your chance to turn life around in your favour, and to even make up for those major setbacks earlier in the year. Long distance travel and major decisions all make for a hectic week. Make sure you delegate where you can. Theres so much for you to focus on. You need to be sure of what is important. A close one has been more than a little distant from you recently. Theyll be back though, and stronger and better than before, once theyve tied up this personal issue thats become their mission. You may have to push a close one for an answer. Dont give them space to lie. Lay your cards on the table. Youll both be clearer about where you go from here if you do. If theres anyone you dont want to have to think will let you down, its family. However, what a close one wants, is with such passion they may be blind to all else. Give them time.
