18 METRO Monday, December 7, 2009 D Why do you think youre supposed to know everything Aries? Experience is what makes us wise, and if we make a few mistakes along the way, it educates us, it doesnt set us back. Realise this. Close ones are worried about you. They know that you havent been yourself. They say a problem shared is a problem halved, and for you, thats never truer than now. Speak out and solve your worries. You want whats best for a close one, but there comes a point when you have to realise you cant help people who dont want to help themselves. Back away, let them come to their senses. Travel, you embark upon on this day, makes your life a more interesting place to be. You start to see what is and what isnt possible. Stop avoiding that phone call to family. Theyre on your side. Your ruling planet puts you in a festive, but naughty mood. You want to see how far you can push a situation in your life. Careful, you may get your hands burnt after 6pm. I know how many changes you have been through. I also think you ought to give yourself a pat on the back for the fact youve done so well. I see the light, can you? It may be a Sunday, but if you could focus on a work issue, then you should be able to see the answers which were previously not available to you. Surprise visitors bring exciting news. You dont like to be controlled, so why are you allowing a certain someone to manipulate you in this way? Today is the day which sees you saying enough is enough. Let the fireworks commence. Youre going to have to keep a recently told secret to yourself for a little while longer. To share it could only ruin the surprise someone is planning. Love comes via a text tonight. Your need to see a certain person could see you telling a white lie to friends and family. Dont embellish too much though Capricorn, or you will give the game away. Say less rather than more. Youre such an intelligent sign, so why youre selling yourself so short recently, is a mystery. Have the confidence to believe in your dreams. I do, and I know success is imminent my friend. Its clear to me that you are not comfortable with a situation in your life. What are you going to do about this? The planets back you to change your life today, so take advantage.
