If travel plans are being discussed, start looking for discounted rates on plane tickets and hotel rooms. You will enjoy exploring foreign places and areas you have never visited before, with kindred spirits. It is time to expand your horizons.

You're having difficulty balancing accounts and you can't feel happy when you don't feel in control of your finances. It's going to be hard to pretend you're excited about a glamorous event a close friend is arranging when all you can think of is how much this is going to cost you.

You may have to drop whatever you are doing to help out a friend who has got themselves into a bit of bother. It would also be sensible to check over any festive plans you have lined up for the weeks ahead as there is a good chance you or someone else has overlooked something.

Having fun and enjoying leisure time with your favourite people will be as important to your health and well-being as keeping on top of work and other responsibilities. You need to keep reminding yourself of this especially when you are being expected to take on more commitments.

You have been spending a lot of time with a friend recently. What you find hard to understand is how they now seem to begrudge the fact that you need to give your family and loved ones more attention. You're starting to realise how selfish some people can be.

A heart to heart conversation will make you realise how out of touch you have become with the youngsters in the family. Show an interest in hobbies and school work of children who are growing older and it might surprise you how savvy they have become compared with previous generations.

Sulking and being grumpy is not helping a situation that cannot be avoided. Even though you would rather be elsewhere, you are being expected to carry out duties you have already committed to. Complaining about it will only upset someone who takes their responsibilities seriously. Accept this situation without feeling too bitter.

Accept an unexpected invitation to meet up with an old friend and a secret wish will be granted. Trust your intuition when you get that wonderful feeling that something special is going to happen. Increased harmony will be felt within your closest relationships.

You can't wait to meet up with a team that is arranging a community festive project. It might surprise you that an older colleague or relative does not understand your excitement. For this reason you may have to contain your energy until later.

Why worry about things that may never happen? A rumour you hear will make you wonder whether there are going to be changes ahead. You won't like what's being said and it would be better to bide your time until you have all the facts. In the meantime ignore the gossip.

There is a serious purpose to a journey you are arranging. Hopes and wishes are coming closer to fulfilment. It may not yet be apparent but keep going as you are as your dedicated efforts are helping to push the process forward by a noticeable amount.

Ignore the temptation to sort out a work related issue on your own. This matter needs to be discussed with senior colleagues. You may not find it easy to get their attention in which case you need to adopt a sterner approach and insist on being heard.
