Discussions inspire you and fill your mind with wonderfully imaginative ideas for the future. It won't be possible to act on all of these immediately. So as not to let them go to waste, make copious notes for future reference. The New Year is always a great time to consider new starts.

Unless you reveal your goals for the future, your family and friends will keep their own plans to themselves. Encouraging others to talk but remaining quiet yourself will make them uncomfortable. Be willing to compromise and at least give some indication of what you are thinking. Save your hard bargaining for another time.

Gossip can be deceptive. News will reach your ears that suggests changes are ahead. Not everyone will be aware of this. In fact, you might start wondering how correct the details might be. After talking to someone in a position to clarify the situation, they too will admit to hearing no plans as such.

Let your family know your goals for the future, even if your plans are still vague. No one is going to try to talk you out of them. It will be tough trying to put your ambitions into words but if you try, you could find there is someone who can make a few helpful suggestions.

Keep the lines of communication open and this will help avoid misunderstandings. Your family and close friends expect you to be honest about our thoughts, needs and feelings. Your natural charm will move mountains in a group situation. Be sure to use this in a way that benefits everyone.

You want facts, figures and logical answers. You are entering unfamiliar realms where analysis will not always provide the absolute answers you seek. You sense a deeper meaning to some events and experiences. Don't be surprised if you start developing an interest in spiritual matters.

After talking with a few people it will become apparent you have accepted a situation because it seemed to be the done-thing to do. Now you realise there is more to this than meets the eye. There are other views to take into account and you need to think on this further.

Your sixth sense will cause you to pause before committing to a new or unusual project or partnership. This could save you hassle and money in the future. In all matters that may have long-term consequences, you will need to look carefully at what you might be letting yourself in for.

Travel appeals. You are sold on the idea of travelling to exotic locations or looking into paid volunteer work abroad. If you are single and free from encumbrances, there will be nothing stopping you from taking steps to initiate this new phase of your life. If you have other commitments, it may take a while to bring about your dream.

Someone close feels a little neglected. Part of the reason for this is that you have been spreading your time and energy between home, work and social commitments. If you don't start paying attention to a loved one's pleas for your company they might start thinking they aren't important to you.

Take practical measures to deal with all matters, financial. Burying your head in the sand and ignoring money problems is not the answer. It will be important, for obvious reasons, that financial issues should be dealt with as soon as they arise. Pay bills that are due and avoid impulse buying.

You have always had a vivid imagination and you find no difficulty in dreaming of the happy future you hope to establish for yourself in 2023. Just be careful that your fantasies don't lead you astray. It is important to distinguish between real hopes and pure fantasy.
