16 metrolife Tuesday, January 26, 2010 D You should find that you laugh in the face of any problems, and that any setbacks give you more time to assess the decisions you have made. Pisces tell lies in business, so beware. Mercury will be making sure the spotlight is on you, and is casting you in a most favourable glow. Make the most of this power of attraction you hold. You know what you need to do. Good day to see the bank manager, as you can finally work things in your favour. Love could do with privacy, as visitors and friends finally back off, unless that is, you give in to afternoon phonecalls. You must not allow your friends and family to use you to further their own personal causes. You have much to gain by keeping business and personal matters completely separate at this time, my friend. A lack of energy, late afternoon, could see you trying to cancel tonights plans, but dont. A face, you have long wanted to meet, should be out and about and fun times are forecast. Aquarians hold the humour you have been seeking. In fact, this sign features very strongly in your life over the coming months, and for reasons of a most romantic nature too, if you desire. Dont be so wary about the people around you. Instead, why dont you try to get to know the new faces, you could just find a whole new set of friends and possibly a lover too. Play games with friends, and you are going to get hurt, so dont wait for the attention you are seeking, call them up now! You could make this one of your best weeks yet. As the stars line up, you can be sure that you will be able to stay in a really good mood. You have worked hard, and you should have found that you actually enjoyed it too. You have not thought about where you are going, but your week is likely to have been more successful than you first thought. Now structure is needed to make your next move a good one. You may have to stay behind at work later than usual, in order to finish something that was not even your responsibility, but team effort can do much for your future, as you will soon discover. Someone, you once thought a lot of, is saying things about you behind your back, but they should be pitied, not envied, so dont get too angry. Time will bring the apology youre waiting for.
