Tread with care. Cautious and well thought out steps are needed when change comes under discussion. There's some concern about the future security of someone you love but they aren't yet willing to accept your advice. It is likely they will splash out on expensive gifts this Christmas and it's equally as likely that you are prepared to have to help them out financially in the New Year.

News or confirmation about something special will give you something to be relieved and pleased about. A temporary change in plans will throw your schedule in disarray but this doesn't often happen and the consequences will be worth any inconvenience. Tension in a loving relationship won't last. A little love and understanding will help the course of true love run smoothly.

Small, almost trivial matters are taking more time, attention and even money than they seem to deserve. This will get quite frustrating as you have other more important things to do and to spend your cash on. A sensible approach to a concern that is causing contention will bring a suitable compromise.

A festive atmosphere enhances your imagination and creativity. The limit of your happiness depends on the extent of your imagination and your willingness to make ideas real. Subtle hints can lead to real agreements and a dream coming true. A partner's love helps sustain you.

You won't be disappointed with news a loved one has to share. You're in the mood for love and whether single or romantically tied, relationships will be fun and enjoyable. The focus, within the family, will be on resolving a recent misunderstanding. Careerwise, a secret initiative could make your future look more secure.

There will be benefits through seeking the help and cooperation of others both in the home and workplace. You like to be independent but some jobs are taking up too much of your time and with a little help, you should be able to clear a backlog of work that has built up recently.

Your thoughts are on a friendship that doesn't seem to be going as expected. Someone you thought you could trust is turning out to be extremely unreliable. You're also considering a domestic situation that could do with some improvement. This doesn't mean you're about to make any drastic change. You're just trying to get a few things straight in your mind.

Before you go any further you may have to pause and think about it. The next step you take in a long-term venture will be a big one and this needs some careful consideration. An invitation to a festive gathering will come as some surprise as you had expected this event to be cancelled but someone has found a way to make it happen.

You're enthusiastic for new ideas. This is your chance to inspire others to veer away from the usual trodden path. Your leadership skills are outstanding and a team will look to you for guidance and advice. Financial affairs are sensitive. Money discussions will need tact and diplomacy.

Tread with care in money, legal and business matters. There are some dubious characters around. Keep an eye on your wallet when out shopping and if you're paying with cash, check your change. Romance is in the air and a surprise will be in store for you if you are in a long-term relationship.

There's some confusion regarding family festive arrangements. A regular family get together that couldn't be arranged last year may be yet again cancelled. This will upset an older relative more than anyone realised. Minor problems will be resolved with ease. Most upsets will turn out to have been a storm in a teacup.

A few short trips, visits with neighbours and generally getting out and about will see you at your most content. Greater attention to financial matters may be necessary before the day is over. Your interest will be sparked by anything festive, creative and fun. Joining friends in an evening out with a difference will delight you.
