You can't keep going from task to task without taking a break even though you might wish you could. You might begin the day bursting with energy but beware of biting off more than you can chew. You want to please everyone and to join in with everything but be sure to factor some relaxation into your schedule.

You need time to assess an offer or arrangement before making a commitment. Someone is hoping you will give an immediate response but you won't make extravagant promises. You will want to know what is expected of you and who else might be involved before making up your mind.

Don't be reluctant to discuss a family issue that has been worrying you for some time. Let down your defences with an older relative who has always offered wise advice. Someone will be ready to acknowledge there is a problem and it is time to take steps to correct it.

You will be doing your best to be friendly and gracious with everyone you meet. At times you may wonder if you can really trust some people. Trust your intuition. You don't have to voice your thoughts but you should listen to them and look after your own interests.

Celebrate your wonderfulness this Christmas. When you were young, you may have been accused of having too vivid an imagination. These criticisms will have stung but they've never discouraged your love of art, beauty and creativity. You have a marvellous creative talent. Take this opportunity to celebrate it.

A relative or friend will be putting some adventurous and exciting suggestions your way. Talks about travel and exploring countries that have fascinated you since childhood will give you something exciting to anticipate and look forward to. Just as they are hoping you will do, you will take their ideas seriously.

You want to devote some of your time to giving back to the community. Your desire to help those who are less fortunate may mean postponing family arrangements but your loved ones' will understand. Your efforts to make this world a better place will feel empowering.

Don't worry too much about what other people might think. Although a friend or relative will say they support your plans, you sense some disapproval. As long as you are true to yourself, this is what really matters. Be happy. Your main aim will be to keep the atmosphere harmonious this Christmas.

If work must be given a priority, don't be surprised if you are asked to assume an important job that will require skill and attention. Although you may not be keen to take on any more responsibility, it will feel good to know that those in high positions appreciate your skills.

If you're feeling lonely this Christmas call a friend and reach out for help. Invite a few neighbours over for mince pies and a chat. Use a local social networking site to organise a festive walk for charity. It will feel good to get out into your community and do something constructive.

Your partner or a close friend has been waiting especially for today to share some great news with you. This will be cause for an extra celebration. Going to a Christmas party will be fun. If you are single and looking for love, be sure to dress to impress. Don't be surprised when you meet someone who fascinates and intrigues you.

Group activities lift your spirits as people devote time, energy and resources to worthy causes. Being able to help disadvantaged people in some way, no matter how small, will make you feel better about your place in this world. Helping at a charity event will be a great use of your humanitarian instincts.
