18 metrolife Wednesday, January 27, 2010 D Leave petty arguments in the workplace for another time, you have an important job or project to finish. Take the initiative at lunchtime in your work; it should just pay off in your favour. Dont give those you do business with too much credit. Instead, why not just assume that they dont know anything and then you will be one step ahead of them. Solo projects bring success today. Rumours, you will be hearing about a friends partner, could well be true, but try not to get involved. Leave it for them to sort things out. Librans prove great fun and mischief too. Dont spend too much of your time talking about people you dont know that well. Its all right to have an opinion if you know something, but you are acting on taste not on fact. Work proves demanding, but should see you ending the day on a high, as you finally prove your worth to an important face. Contracts may be talked about, but dont expect to see them signed yet. You must not believe the rumours that are going around. From the aspects, it is quite possible that you started most of them anyway. Stop gossiping. Putting efforts into your work today pays dividends. This is a great day to see friends and to catch up on news. Dont be tricked into signing things you cannot get out of at lunchtime. Aries need careful handling and your good manners. Use today to finish up what youve already started, and leave new projects until you can think with a clearer mind. A face from your past is trying their best to seduce you this week. Work proves demanding, but should see you ending the day on a high, as you finally prove your worth to an important face. Contracts may be talked about, but dont rely on them being signed yet. Dont fall out with the older generation, who could well be under more pressure than you know. Afternoon shopping proves fulfilling, as you should finally be able to get your hands on a long wanted item. You have had a lot to cope with, but the hardest part is now well and truly over. Get ready for the rewards now. Phone calls, you receive after 3pm, are the beginning of this. You should find yourself going somewhere different today, and as long as you dont let close one push you into too many commitments, then you should also find yourself slowly winding down at last too.
