18 METRO Wednesday, December 16, 2009 D Christmas plans start to get exciting, and you find yourself feeling more nostalgic than ever before. Read all of the mail you get today, someone you didnt expect has been trying to contact you. Stand up for what you believe in. I know life has been hard and I know you have felt as if a close one has been against you, rather than supporting you. Changes await, grab them! Try to have tact when talking to your close ones today. Many of the signs are feeling more emotional than usual. By taking care with your words you can take relationships up to the next level. Conversations you have with your family reveal facts you never knew. You start to understand who you are, where you came from, and by the end of this week, where you want to go. Put pride to one side and say how you really feel. Then you will find the success with your life that youre seeking. Gifts, you buy at this time, reveal how deep your feelings really run. You want a bit of mischief and fun. Why? Because you want to move on from the past. This is not a bad thing. Just make sure you keep those standards nice and high. No matter how hard you try to tell the truth, silly lies keep coming out of your mouth. Why? Because youre scared that a certain person wont like you for who you are. Youre wrong. All of the relationships in your life are under lucky influences. You find yourself more able to cope with life than ever before. You know who you are and where you are going, at last. Dont think you have to give in to what a loved one is asking. You would be far better to say how you feel. By giving in to blackmail you are only prolonging a confrontation. Christmas starts early for you. Finally you know what you want, and where you should be going. Youre set to have one of your best Christmass ever, as you stand tall and face life head on. Exciting news is set to come your way. The things that arent working can finally be changed. Support is yours in a family issue, if you are willing to make the first move and communicate. Someone, you thought you could not trust in business, is set to pleasantly surprise you. Your career is set for some major changes, all of which can benefit you, both short and long term.
