18 METRO Thursday, December 17, 2009 D Christmas celebrations get under way early, and youre set to find out information which will give you reason to make some exciting travel plans. Look out for an ex trying to get you under the mistletoe. You find yourself receiving phonecalls and texts from faces you havent seen in some time. Happy times call, and you find yourself more relaxed as a work issue is finally tied up to your advantage. Dont flirt with someone you know could never really work out for you as a proper relationship. Time is precious and the real love matches can be found by accepting impromptu offers after 5pm. You find it easy to see through lies. This makes it hard for you to keep your cool with a close one who youre likely to catch out. Romance beckons in the form of a text. Youll find yourself getting unexpected Christmas invites today. Are they for real, or are people just talking for the sake of it? Youll find out, if you embark on this very colourful week you face. Dont expect your day to go as planned, Virgo. Do, however, expect to find yourself faced with an array of colourful invites, as your Christmas countdown begins and promises to be anything but boring. Youre being offered something, but it seems to come with a price. Do you accept? Of course not Libra. You dont play games, but you do know you deserve the best and nothing but, dont you? Youve a lot of work to do before you can enjoy Christmas with a clear conscience. The good news, is you can achieve success if you stick to your gameplan, not the one others are suggesting. Love is at the forefront of your mind. You try to work out whether you should tell a certain person how you feel. Of course you should. Just dont use a third party to do so. Early Christmas gifts you receive, are a clear indication of how much you are loved. Dont turn down invites for tonight. They hold the key to you getting back on track with a family member. You must not accuse a close one of things they havent done. By doing so you are only closing doors, rather than opening them. Peace talks after 5pm help you get back on the same track. You start to take a more serious look at life. Where youre going and what you want. Time spent with a loved one tonight, can help you tie up some questions you had regarding the past.
