16 METRO Friday, October 30, 2009 D What do you want from your life? Have you really sat down at any stage recently and asked yourself this question? Do it now and I think youll be surprised by the simplicity of your answer. You have been through more than your fair share of experiences and yet youre acting like a nave sign. Does the truth hurt? Or do you just want to avoid saying what needs to be said? Why are you avoiding your old friends? Do you think they will disapprove of who youre now mixing with? Only one way to find out and this is the perfect day in your stars to try. Your ability to give good advice is astounding. Yet when it comes to your own life, you cant seem to see the obvious. Do some sums and you should find new flexibility for your career. Things have been said to you, which you are finding very hard to forgive or forget. You can move on though, as its only you who is still sticking around this very negative influence. Dont pretend to know things you dont. Doing this will only lead to a comedy of errors, which will ruin your weekend. Work on what is fact, not fiction and your love life will flourish. Your love for your close ones is so strong. That of course it hurts when you see them making bad choices for themselves. Be there to pick up the pieces, but dont intervene yet, my friend. You find yourself in the mood for family and those youve known for a long time. Mixing with new faces will not appeal to you. You want the familiar. You also have an announcement to make. You are going the wrong way about getting what you want. Stop and take a day out to regroup. If not you could end up undoing all of the good you have so far done my friend. There is no point going back to the past Capricorn, either mentally or physically. Move on and dont waste your time. If it was right then, you would never have let it go! You know that. Spoil a close one and let them know how much you love them. You and I know you have drifted apart temporarily, but they need to know its not permanent. Honest words today can achieve this. Dont ruin a close ones special day out of jealousy. They have shut you out of their life because of the way you have acted. Show them you can be who they love and know.
