18 METRO Friday, December 18, 2009 D This is a great day to concentrate on your work. You can get more done now than you did all month. A family member needs your moral support for a major change theyre about to make. A new project starts to get underway, and you start to work out what it is you need to do to make a success of your life. Younger faces give you reason to travel. Holidays beckon and you start to feel in the festive spirit. Love is calling. Work out what you want. Someone is about to ask you to make a decision which can change your life. Youre spending money like its going out of fashion. Youre a little stressed but dont need to be. The question you want to ask a certain person is sure to be met with a positive answer. Happy times link to you finding out some news which gives you every reason to look forward to 2010. A gift, you did not expect, shows you how strongly a certain person really feels about you. Take your time when reading paperwork today, please. It is more important than you think. Filling in forms today can go in your favour, but it may be worth paying for a professional opinion. Stop thinking about what could have been and focus instead on what you can achieve. Your actions towards a certain person need to be analysed. They hold the key to what you should do next. You love this time of year, and its imperative that you dont allow so called friends to tell you what to do. You know how you want to spend your Christmas. Stick to your plans. Phone calls and texts, that you both send and receive, can help you to make your Christmas all that you desire. Friends need your supportive nature with a personal drama. Listen when they talk. Family are trying to talk you into doing something that you dont want to. Youre worried. Why should you be? Youve never done anything your heart wasnt in, so why change the habit of a lifetime? Youre living in the past and its time to stop doing so. Embrace the future. Friends want to show you a good time, so accept those invites. Its sure to put a smile on your face. Youve been there so much for close ones, and theyre ready to give back. Dont be afraid of sitting back and let others do the hard work in the run up to Christmas. You deserve it.
