If you allow your feelings to colour your judgement you could make a wrong decision. You have a tendency to react first and think about it later. Pause instead before responding to the dilemmas, problems or difficulties that now face you. This will help you avoid making careless mistakes.

You are in for a far easier time at home and at work. You aren't finding it hard to relax and will either delegate or ignore duties that don't hold any urgency. A strong feeling of contentment is with you as you anticipate good news connected with an arrangement or plans made earlier in the month.

Social and group activities will give you a chance to use your skills in projects that excite you. Adding decorative touches to your home and workplace is another way you can draw on your creativity. Everyone appreciates your efforts to make the environment festive and bright.

Social and travel plans you had been looking forward to now look as if they may be more expensive than anticipated. Instead of going ahead with these, choose activities that fit your budget. There's plenty to do that will be just as much fun and less costly.

You don't mind going out of your way to make things easier for someone who isn't up to doing much themselves. A colleague will admit to feeling under the weather and will ask for help to keep on top of their work. Extend a helping hand to others who are struggling.

Occasionally you would appreciate some time alone but for the most part, you will enjoy group and social activities. It feels good to be part of a caring community. Communications with someone who is much older or younger will go well. You will learn a lot by letting down your defences.

Your aim will be to get through your work as quickly as possible. Your purposeful attitude will surprise people who don't often see this side of your nature. What they do not know is you have an important arrangement to keep later on. This will involve a test, audition or interview.

Don't be reluctant to talk shop when you meet up with someone you used to work with. They will know of an opening or opportunity which could enable you to make some significant career gains. In addition to this they will be happy to write you a glowing reference.

A general feeling of listlessness prevents you from putting your energy into anything for very long. You're slightly envious of friends and colleagues who are able to organise themselves to get the best out of each day. You have been overdoing things of late and your batteries are in need of a recharge.

An older relative who has been objecting to family festive arrangements being planned will suddenly change their tune. The reason why they have changed their mind does not matter. What's important is that you now finalise plans while they are being so amenable.

With you being in such a sociable mood you won't be happy to have to put your mind to anything resembling duty. A community event will go like a dream and you will accept any excuse to have a good time, with enthusiasm.

In this up and down day you should be able to balance the good with the bad. What you lose on the roundabouts you should, with a bit of cleverness, be able to gain on the swings. You also know the importance of balancing work with play.
