16 METRO Thursday, October 8, 2009 D An occupation is as good as land. You think youve missed the boat, but the skills you possess, can and will, turn your life around, if youre willing to take the lead and follow instincts. Make sure you call your friend and check up on the details for the upcoming weekend. It would seem that certain gatherings require a commitment from you in advance, and you dont want to miss out. A touch of fame is calling out to you. Life is offering you the chance to go for great things. You may have to sacrifice some personal time, but you will, wont you Gemini? Something you used to be able to take or leave, is now becoming an obsession. Take a step back and work out if this is an asset or setback. The sooner you do this the better. Invites that you get at this time have hidden meaning. Could it be, with the confidence you lost of late, that you have started to play down your powers of attraction? Lets hope not Leo. Confrontations, which you would have once shied away from, now seem easy to face. Youre stronger now, and past experiences have made you thicker skinned. Watch out world and enemies. Youre back bigger and better. Failure teaches success. Dont be upset by the setbacks you have had, but come back bigger and better than ever before. You now have experience and wisdom; your tools to take you to the top. How long are you going to stare at your phone, before you put it away and get on with life? Because the minute you do, youll get the call that youve been waiting for. Its time to raise the bar Sagittarius. Youve placed your real needs and desires on the backburner for so long now. No more, your stars wont let you accept anything but the best, starting now. New things, friends acquire, give you reason to question what it is you want in your own life. Do you want children, marriage, animals or a bigger home? All of this is on your mind. Dramatic times come with a secret which needs to be kept. Youll also discover you play a larger part in this drama than you thought. Just know how far is too far when fabricating please. Isnt it time that others looked after you for a change? How long do you have to carry everyone else for? If they dont offer, they should. But youll be telling them this yourself it appears.
