A new neighbour will be a big help in solving a dilemma. You won't forget that you owe them. A senior colleague's friendliness will take you by surprise when normally they seem aloof and unapproachable. You might notice a drop in energy later in the day so don't push yourself too hard.

A friend will pull out of some festive plans you had been looking forward to. This will make things awkward for you when they had made all the arrangements in the first place. A colleague will be experimenting with new ideas and their actions will lead to a change in the way you approach routine work.

Do your best to avoid people who are known for their meddling. Someone will try to give advice which isn't asked for or necessary. You are determined to get the job done and that's why you're being so careful and precise. You don't intend to make any mistakes.

It will be insightful to discuss your dreams and spiritual experiences with a friend who is into psychic development. Someone will want to know whether you would like to do some travelling in the New Year. If they're planning a journey you will happily take advantage of this opportunity.

You need to deal with routine chores in order to prevent them from piling up. You could of course ignore them but you won't thank yourself for this in a few days' time. A friend or partner expects to call the tune. This won't happen when you are around as you intend to make your own decisions.

You know it would keep the peace if you were to keep your views to yourself but there are some issues you feel too strongly about to pretend you haven't noticed them. Shared expenses will cause some tension and a lot of bickering. Take time, this evening, to do some quiet thinking.

After totalling it all up you might realise you have gone over the Christmas budget. Even if there are still gifts you have to buy, stop spending now. Use your wonderful imagination and think about making some beautiful homemade gifts or search the internet for budget-friendly ideas.

A wish could soon come true. Don't think that something you long for will never happen to you. Believe in yourself and it will. A close friend or relative is holding back from giving a definite decision about festive plans. If they don't decide soon you might decide to make your own arrangements.

As unintentional as it may have been you realise you have said something to upset someone and it's going to be difficult to repair this relationship. After a sleepless night with your thoughts going round in circles you feel no closer to resolving a current dilemma.

Be patient and turn a blind eye to a friend or relative's little imperfections. Are you being too critical of a loved one's flaws? Do they deserve to be made to feel belittled? Tiredness and a lack of sleep is making you grumpy and irritable.

Work carried out in private or behind the scenes will bring most pleasure and satisfaction. You will be glad you acted on some information passed on to you during a casual conversation. If you weren't sure whether or not you could trust someone, you will have your answer today.

Plans to relocate or revamp your home are going slowly but satisfactorily. You were prepared for transactions to slow down at this time of the year. You're looking to the future and having somewhere comfortable to live that brings increased domestic security is your main aim.
