Forget any misgivings you may have, you've the nouse and know-how to make a big noise in your career. For all of your confidence and bravado, there's a little voice inside that questions whether you're up to the task. The best way to deal with these nagging self-doubts is to counter them with positive affirmations. Every time you catch your subconscious saying, "I can't do it", fire back with "I'm the best one for the job." It works every single time.

Money no longer holds the same cosmic significance now so let any hang-ups go hang themselves! Now, you're more focused on sharing your resources with those in need. Sending Christmas gifts to a homeless shelter, old people or volunteering at the children's ward of your local hospital will remind you of the true spirit of the season. Although you pretend to value financial security above all else, you really can't be happy unless everybody is comfortable. Time to do your Taurean bit.

You've been so wrapped up in personal concerns that you've lost sight of an important relationship. Take this opportunity to get reacquainted with the person who means most to you. If you don't have a mate, it could be because you've been so busy attending to your own needs. Whatever you have been doing is almost finished and you can afford to cast your eye around the room. Is there anyone you fancy? Then make your move towards the mistletoe!

Your fantasies are just that time to wake up and get back into the real world. Be more intent than ever on getting organised. Clearing away clutter - both physical and mental - will allow you to make fresh inroads. Don't be daunted by the sizable tasks before you. By taking things one step at a time, you'll get ahead. Undergoing a program of exercise will help boost your energy as your vitality has been lacking and it's time to shift yourself into overdrive.

Rest and relax a little or you'll have no time for your own Yuletide yomps. Pick up a hobby you abandoned long ago due to time constraints. Treat yourself to a movie marathon or hook yourself into the sports channels. Start making entries in your diary again starting with Noel and the New Year. Any leisurely pursuits that allow you to express your creative flair are favoured. Feel free to let your personal obligations slide over the next two weeks you've earned it!

You have impressed so many people in your public life it's time to retreat to your private one. Domestic activities from baking to cooking, decorating the fir tree to visiting Santa's grotto on the panto, fill you with a sense of serene bliss. You don't need the roar of the crowd to give you a sense of identity; you get it from the people who know and love you best. Scale back your busy schedule to make more time for those who need you, young and old as they crave your love and affection.

Practise is so much better than theory so if you want to know something experience it. If you catch yourself holding back at a party, give yourself a good shake. You need to spend this magical time connecting with friends and neighbours in a meaningful way. When was the last time you had a substantive conversation with someone in your social circle? A little less analysis and a little more relating is in order and long overdue.

Obeying your own value system is more important than keeping the peace in a relationship. If someone you care about is trying to lure you down a different path, resist at all costs, if you don't you will come to regret your actions later on. It's difficult for you to be at odds with loved ones, because you want so much to be of one heart and mind. That's simply not possible now. You have to go your own way to understand your own unique meaning of life.

Spend more time looking after number one and let your love life stew a wee bit. This is a fine time to make your mind up over a job, promote your ideas, or make a good first impression. Although it feels great to use someone you know as a sounding board, you need to have a few independent projects on the go now. A freedom loving spirit like you needs to have aspects of life that are entirely separate from friends and family.

Pull away from the mundane and delve into more psychic or spiritual matters. You're a lot more philosophical than you pretend or realise; it's just that you don't like to air your beliefs in public. This is as good a time as any to mull over what you can do next year to make your life more rewarding. Toss around a few New Year resolutions. Forget about economic and materials concerns. You need something much more profound to sustain you deep down.

Devoting your time to social concerns enables your humanitarian energies to shine through. Although you look forward to Christmas in your own way, it saddens you to think how many people aren't able to enjoy the luxuries you currently possess. Make no mistake: you shouldn't feel guilty about all the once in a lifetime opportunities you've been given. These advantages will seem that much more precious when you use them to benefit others. Altruism makes advent so special.

Born with the soul of an artist let it free to delight and entertain the world around you. You will find ample opportunity to do what you do so naturally well over the next few weeks. Occupying the spotlight gives you a sublime sense of acceptance and belonging. If you're thinking of going on job interviews, auditions or first dates then stop thinking, just do it. There's something about your dreamy-eyed visage that captivates everyone you meet. You're a Christmas angel in every way.
