Accept invitations to parties, social gatherings and festive events. This is your chance to get to know people better. If for any reason you fail to attend a special gathering, you could miss out on other opportunities and this will make you feel excluded and lonely.

Sometimes you have to act quickly so you don't miss out. An opportunity that comes your way will need a quick response. Be ready to grab tickets for a special show, musical event or festive gathering the moment they are offered. They will sell out very quickly.

An offer or invitation will take you completely by surprise. It will be hard to contain your excitement as you rejuggle your schedule so you can take part in a special audition or attend an interview. You are making a great impression on everyone you meet.

This is a good time to sell or give away items you no longer use. You might enjoy searching for good buys at Christmas markets, antique shops and on online auctions. It's a day when pleasure and profit will operate hand in hand.

Everyone makes mistakes and hasty action could cause problems that are expensive to put right. You will regret having acted so impulsively. You and a partner or relative might discuss the best way to approach this situation. Together you will work out a solution.

You feel slightly guilty that a business lunch or seminar is so enjoyable you can hardly call it work. What you will be doing is increasing your contacts in the field and spreading the word about a new venture you're hoping to launch in the New Year. This in itself will be useful for the future.

You need to make a choice between attending a festive event that appeals to your sociable personality or going to a professional seminar that has been arranged for the same time. Your desires are split neatly through the middle. The decision will be up to you; no one else can make it for you.

You wish you had been in the right place to take up an offer which would have allowed you to make good use of your creative talents. Instead, someone else will have grabbed this opportunity, leaving you to get on with everyday chores that aren't nearly so appealing.

The last thing you want to be bothered with is adding up rows of figures. You're trying to be careful with your cash this Christmas and you do know that there will come a time when you will need to take a long, hard look at your financial situation.

Almost all your energy is being poured into work, family and social responsibilities. You're trying to please everyone and you might admit to feeling overwhelmed when trying to plan a perfect Christmas. Ask for help. In romance, you will prefer not to get involved in a physical relationship too quickly.

Choose your words carefully when responding to someone you happen to disagree with. You may not know the full story. A colleague's workmanship disappoints you. You are certain they could do a better job of it but you sense they won't take well to any criticism.

You long for a Christmas filled with peace and joy. This may mean having to keep some friends or relatives separate. You know from past experience that they don't get on with each other and you will be doing your best to remain neutral.
