You like to feel in control in order to reach your aims. This doesn't mean you do not respect or care for others who are less strong minded. A friend or workmate who is less ambitious will voice their concerns about you rushing into things. Let them know you aren't being reckless in considering future options.

You're concerned about a recent argument and how quiet a friend has gone since then. Get in touch with them now and you should be able to patch up your differences. Someone will insist on giving you an early Christmas gift and this will take you by surprise. You can't believe how thoughtful some people can be.

New work and family interests will get the go ahead at the same time. This won't be a problem as you have been preparing for both and although everything seems to be happening at once, you have always been able to juggle a number of jobs and activities at the same time quite successfully.

After pondering on the likely consequences, you are ready to make some changes. You aren't being impetuous or foolish as someone will imply. Ignore people who try to persuade you against doing what you feel is right for you. You do know what you are doing as you will prove in the future.

There are very few times when you look at a problem that it is one dimensional. One issue that will be linked all the way through a project is money. A medium-term fix will help sort it out. The realistic approach you take to most things will help get results.

Important changes are ahead for you. Doors are closing but you won't have much time to pause. As arrangements come to an end, new ones will take their place. You're nervous about what this implies but at the same time you will know deep within that changes now occurring will be for the best.

You want to take your time making an important decision. You have a number of options to choose from. Before doing so you will want to consider your capabilities and identify your deepest desires. Once you know what you really want, you know which choice to go for.

You will support those who are trying to change rules that are too difficult to enforce. A heated debate is the chance you have been waiting for to change the dynamics of a group venture. You are in a strong position to influence others. People are taking notice of what you have to say.

You will be asked to take charge of a community project that is in danger of collapsing. Your first priority will be to find a mechanism in which you can work together. One of the problems in the past has been leaked information. There will be no such problems with the new measures that are being put in place.

Personal interests or a practical skill could result in a financial spin off. You may not have realised you had a natural talent that has commercial value. Find out more. Talk to those who can help you turn these plans into something real and worthwhile. An older relative will welcome a festive message from you.

Mixing with colleagues online will help build stronger working relationships. The pattern in your social world is constantly changing. A virtual party will be the first of many more such events during the last week of the year. A neighbour will announce they are moving away from your locality.

A young relative is restless and excitable. Despite your suggestions on where they might aim their energy, their hyperactive behaviour will irritate you. Because you have plenty to do, it isn't easy to concentrate when others keep distracting you. Keep calm. They still believe in the magic of Christmas and you don't want to spoil it for them.
