It may be necessary to put your own plans on the shelf for another day and to go along with what other people are planning. This might sound like taking the easy way out but it is merely accepting the fact that today, you aren't going to get your own way. This approach will save you a lot of bother and frustration.

Due to absenteeism or extra pressure at work, your boss will refuse you to give you the time off you deserve. You are starting to realise you are making too many personal sacrifices for your job. You just aren't in the right mood anyway, to deal with the frustrations that you meet at every corner. Face to face interactions keep close relationships strong.

Many of the ideas being shared at this time may seem to lead nowhere but one or two could pave the way for future success. Discussions will inspire you to look into new possibilities. Make a note of all that is being said and you might revisit some ideas in the New Year to make some effective and impressive revisions.

Money is tight but there are ways to do Christmas on a budget. You don't have to spend a fortune on decorations and festivities. Make use of recyclable Christmas decorations. Reuse and recycle. Clearing out clutter from your home and work space will make you feel less restricted. Donate items you no longer use to charity.

You always knew you would not be remaining in the same place forever. You have a chance now, to showcase your creative talent. People admire your skills. Be ready to accept a commission to write, teach, paint or create something beautiful for a prestigious organisation.

You've become accustomed to some routines. It won't be easy to adapt if these are changed. New arrangements are being discussed and if these go ahead, it will affect your life in some way. You might suddenly prefer everything to remain as it is.

High spirits and high hopes, keep you inspired. A group will be getting together to celebrate a recent achievement. Success of the team provides the motivation and incentive to take on new challenges. Hollywood couldn't have written a better script.

When things start going wrong you will blame yourself even if it was not your fault. You might wonder why you hadn't spent more time in the planning stages or how you didn't see it coming. Replace those negative thoughts with positive ones. Remind yourself of all that has been going right for you.

Once you finish your duties you will be able to relax and have some fun. You have deadlines to meet and this puts you under pressure. You are going to have to get organised in order to handle these challenges. Staying focused is the only way to avoid mistakes from creeping in.

If a nagging health problem resurfaces, be prepared to change routines and habits. Don't be reluctant to put some responsibilities to one side for a short while or to delegate if necessary. Something has got to change. Pause, be sensible and reconsider your situation.

A change of pace or place will be refreshing. Take any opportunity to get away from your usual routine or surroundings. Someone will suggest a trip out, a visit or booking a relaxing break together. Even if the destination does not sound very appealing, you could be pleasantly surprised.

You're mixing with some sensitive people. It will be rewarding to share creative interests. Not so pleasing will be an emotional outburst from someone who appears to be hurt and angry. Take them to one side and once they have calmed down, you will be able to work out what this is all about.
