Someone who is objecting to your suggestions is about to see the more assertive side of your nature. You won't use threats and neither will you be overly forceful but you will speak your mind quietly and in no uncertain terms. Respect will come your way because you will get your point across calmly, clearly and with certainty.

Follow your own instincts. A partner or older relative is doing their best to persuade you to turn down an offer or opportunity. Their arguments are logical and you can see it from their perspective but you have your own reasons for wanting to make some changes they may not understand.

The pressure is on to get plans for a home improvement project agreed. You could be negotiating with painters, plasterers and carpet fitters in readiness for work that will begin in the New Year. You will feel a sense of relief when you know everything is organised. Your strategy is working.

You can sense someone in your team isn't happy about what is being arranged. You've always been sensitive to other people's feelings and you can feel their discomfort. If you take them to one side and have a discreet word with them, you may be able to come up with a solution that will ease their worries.

You understand why it is so important to follow the rules. It may be up to you to ensure safety measures are in place at a venue where people will be meeting. There are fun activities you are missing out on this festive season but you're finding creative ways to make up for this as much as you are able.

If life has become monotonous, just one step in a new direction could take you to a better place. You could be surprised to discover there are interesting projects and activities being set up in your area. If family life has become boring, take a deep breath and suggest making some changes.

You will be asked to help coordinate a community effort. This will be a big responsibility and a one you don't mind taking on. Group projects give you experience in areas that could help your career prospects. Any effort to add value to your community will be an unmitigated success.

You're starting to see a neighbour or colleague in a new light. They are now becoming less of an associate and more of a valuable friend and confidante. Their support and invaluable advice comes as and when you need it just as you will always strive to be there for them.

Your skills are needed behind the scenes in a new group or community project. This goes against your own desire to take on a leadership role. It won't be easy to take a step back and let someone else take the reins but if you grumble too long and loud a person who doesn't know you well might think you're a bit of a misery.

Opportunities in work, property and sport are coming your way. A group project has got off to a great start. You are making a big contribution to this effort. Your future is looking more exciting. In addition to gaining new experiences you are also meeting some interesting and talented people.

A reflective mood will encourage you to take stock of your life; its challenges and its treasures. You may need some advice on an issue you haven't had a lot of experience with. It might come as some surprise that someone you hadn't regarded as a special friend seems to show more understanding than the person who is closest to you.

There could be an unexpected bonus from group activities. Friends make life fun. Online get togethers will help you relax as you meet up with cheerful friends. A close and intimate relationship is becoming intense. Plan a cosy dinner for two and it will be more than candlelight that will give your evening a glow.
