A friend or relative who is feeling under the weather would appreciate you taking some of the pressure off them. Instead of asking if they need help, insist on taking over some jobs for them, temporarily. In doing so you will be giving them a chance to recharge and regain their equilibrium.

An older relative or neighbour knows they can depend on you whenever they might need you. What's surprising is when you visit them today, they have some wise advice to offer on a matter that has been causing you some concern and confusion.

An old disagreement with a friend will re-emerge. You had thought this had blown over but someone obviously bears a grudge. It will take a lot of patience not to lose your temper but doing so would only make matters worse.

You are ready to end old projects as new ones begin and these become more meaningful. Be prepared to experiment as your priorities are solely changing. Your mind is starting to open up to new and different ways of thinking.

A routine maintenance matter is causing a friend or neighbour a lot of frustration and confusion. This task is not easy for them. You would help out but you will be just as baffled by how everything keeps going wrong. At least with your support they will keep at it until the issue is resolved.

A younger friend or colleague's reactions in a contentious situation aren't likely to impress those who are already against them. They will look to you for support and since you realise they are being misunderstood, there are ways you can help ease the situation.

Be diplomatic if you find yourself involved in some conflict between neighbours. If you say the wrong thing now, falling out with people will cause a rift to develop between you that is going to make it hard for you to get on with each other in the future.

Someone has no respect for your skills and knowledge. They act as if they know everything and you're growing bored with their dramatic announcements and exaggerations. If they are trying to make you feel intimidated they are failing. What they are succeeding in doing is confirming your belief that you could never work together harmoniously.

The success of a new venture will largely depend on how willing you are to work alongside people you hardly know. It might actually be a refreshing change to come out of your shell after a prolonged period of focusing mainly on your own interests.

Make use of online social networking sites to promote your skills and career interests. Your social calendar is starting to fill up and you might take advantage of this opportunity to mix business with pleasure. Some important contacts will be made at a festive gathering.

Your versatile nature will make you popular when others admire your ability to act and think quickly when it is needed. You are prepared for the challenges in front of you now and you won't be influenced by anyone who is nervous or over-anxious. Just as if you are in a position of leadership you won't be assigning creative work to a hypercritical nit-picker.

Taking a different approach to finances will pave the way for long-term security. It's not easy to save money these days but do your best to put a little cash aside. Even when it is just a tiny amount, from little acorns oaks will grow.
