It might seem that stating the absolute truth when you feel it is necessary is the best way to avoid misunderstandings. The truth can sometimes hurt. You're in the mood to share your feelings but what you have to say is not what a loved one wants to hear. You can be honest in a more diplomatic way.

You have so many different tasks to get through you might wonder if you will manage it. An early start is an absolute must. It's more important that you feel you are getting ahead than for others to acknowledge your work. That's why it's better if you aren't in the spotlight. In fact you will accomplish more behind the scenes.

Your main aim now is to find ways and means to live in harmony with your core beliefs. A friend or colleague draws attention away from your accomplishments by reminding everyone of the problems they are going through. Don't let their envy dampen your enthusiasm. You are moving closer to your life purpose.

You want to make this Christmas special for your family and that's why you've already started to make plans and to purchase festive goodies. You may not have a lot of money but you will put a lot of thought into every gift you buy to make it meaningful for the recipient.

Setting up an online work conference or community gathering is at the top of the list of your priorities. People look to you for leadership and you won't let them down. People will be pressing for change and by asking a VIP to speak on behalf of a special cause, you will feel able to move this campaign forward.

Changes you have decided to make could cause problems in your household. You could do without the arguments but you have made your mind up and people are going to have to get used to it. You could exercise caution so as not to hurt someone's feelings but it isn't as if you haven't been preparing them for this.

You felt you knew what someone wanted, how they felt and why. It might come to a surprise to discover you have jumped to the wrong conclusion. You've got too much into the habit of thinking you knew what a partner or close friend is thinking without checking out your assumptions.

Your hard work has not gone unnoticed by those in positions of power. Don't be surprised if you are offered an impressive promotion. Career change will also mean a shake-up of your everyday routines. You will quickly adapt as will your family. As well as enjoying a small festive event, you will have something special to celebrate.

You will be approached to take charge of a community exercise. It will be a wonderfully uplifting experience to draw attention to a great project. People who are really making an effort to do amazing things for others will receive the praise they deserve even though this will be the last thing they are expecting.

Does it matter if you can't meet other people's expectations today? Someone is hard to please and you are wasting too much of your time trying to make them happy. In trying to meet their unrealistic demands, you aren't being true to yourself. Just do the best you can and no one should ask for anymore.

You're trying to be sensitive to the needs of your family but their comments suggest they feel misunderstood. You're excited to pursue a special aim that you haven't considered how this is affecting your loved ones. You've not been looking much further than your own ambitions and these may not be shared by others.

You can look forward to a pleasantly friendly few hours if you're meeting up with a friend you haven't seen in some time. You're open to new experiences and although you could be planning to celebrate Christmas very differently this year it will be fun to break away from the traditional path.
