16 metrolife Tuesday, February 2, 2010 D Just when you thought life couldnt get any more confusing, the past comes back to make you question what youve only just decided. Dont worry, events this week give you all the answers youll ever need. Time spent with your close ones help you to realise that youve come a long way already this year. You have not been trusting your instincts and you should, they wont let you down. You have been spending more and more time with a certain face and its been having a really profound effect on how you view your future. Big decisions loom and youre finally in the driving seat. What you think to be fact, may turn out to be only fiction. Slow your pace Cancer and try to look at the bigger picture. Certain close ones have been trying to cover their backs. Youve been running on empty and its time to put yourself first. After all, if you dont make yourself a priority, why should anyone else? Make that call and put us all out of our misery. An issue, which has been bubbling away since Christmas, still seems no closer to being solved. You can, always take the bull by the horns and talk to the person concerned, instead of a third party. Decisions, decisions, decisions. What will you do Libra? Not even you know, but phone calls you both make and receive on this day will give you a clear indication of what should be done. When you love, you love completely. Youd do anything for those close to you. So to feel let down in this manner is somewhat of a shock. Revelations made after 3pm give you back your faith. Youre so good at knowing what other people should do with their lives, but youre far too involved with your own to make confident decisions. Step back, the answer is staring you in the face. Getting your own way seems to be somewhat of a problem right now. What you need to know though is that close ones need and appreciate your help. Discussions tonight, confirm this very fact too. Taking gambles in love seems very appealing at the moment, but make sure you understand the full effect that your actions may have on those around. Youre wearing blinkers, and they need to come off. Holidays and time off are on your mind. Close ones may not feel the same, but use your powers of persuasion after and not before 6pm and youll be able to get anything you want, Pisces.
