Any gloom you have been recently experiencing, whether work or home related will soon be dispelled. A celebration is being planned. You are looking forward to this and you are determined to have a good time. That's why you will be pushing the festive boat out with considerable gusto.

A turn of good fortune will give the whole family something to be pleased about. An exciting phase in your relationships begins. It will take time to get to know a new partner but you aren't in a hurry. Enjoy meals together and join in with outdoor and other activities they suggest. The more time you spend together, the closer you will feel.

The weeks ahead will bring many opportunities for you to work on your personal and professional relationships. Friendship ties will be strengthened. Socialising is the theme. Harmonious relationships and cooperation in a team is all you will ask for and those around you feel the same way.

Conversations are confusing. You might feel a friend or partner is deliberately holding back from telling you what you need to hear. Someone seems elusive and even when you do manage to get to talk to them, you will be left wondering about what exactly has been said.

You're making plans to celebrate a big occasion. It will be fun to get together with family and friends to discuss this. You're also hoping to get in some quiet relaxation but because of social commitments, you won't be spending every hour of the day alone.

After some conflict and controversy, joint matters will take on a more favourable tone. A household matter will be resolved once a relative comes in and mixes things up a bit. Are you single? You could be your own worst enemy if you turn down an interesting proposal from an admirer just because they don't look like your type.

A sudden burst of energy will see you making huge strides of progress in a project that is special to you. A flurry of activity in your home will bring a wave of excitement, optimism and anticipation through your domestic world. Someone is about to make a special announcement.

A personal or professional goal is within reach. You anticipate a busy yet stimulating time ahead and because you're focused on something that is important to you, you will enjoy every satisfying moment. A friend will want to show you a collection they have built up over the years. Prepare to be amazed.

Someone in the family will try to distract you from your social plans. Group and club activities are happily accented and you won't let anyone stop you from doing what you want to do. You can always make arrangements to see relatives later when you have more time.

A youngster is getting defensive because they feel they are being blamed for something you didn't do. You don't want them to feel that way. A more sensitive tactic would be to express any concerns you might have in a kind and loving way. Your aim is to invite harmony and cooperation rather than resistance.

You had thought you would be good at a task but it is proving to be more difficult than it looked. A skilled friend or workmate made it seem so easy. Now they aren't around to help, you are struggling. Keep practising and eventually you will feel as if you are making progress.

Whether someone is deliberately trying to shock you or they are telling you something they thought you knew, you will hide your feelings well. When you hear something that comes as a revelation, you won't want others to see how shocked you are. This is a good time to press for those job changes you've been thinking about.
