Presiding over a big social gathering will be lots of fun. You're good at making sure guests are comfortable and amused. Throwing a party appeals to your social side.

When you want to be comforted, you go willingly to them. If it's entertainment you seek, you surround yourself with friends.

Christmas is the perfect time to plan your next holiday. You will find some good last minute deals on hotel rooms and plane tickets.

Whether this means getting a new job, relocating or launching a fitness program is immaterial. The important thing is to find ways of fulfilling your considerable potential.

This will be one of the most passionate times in recent memory. The sparks between you and your amour are powerful. It will be difficult to contain your desire for each other in a public place. A secret rendezvous will give you a chance to satisfy your needs. Are you single? Let a relative set you up on a blind date. You'll be happy with their choice for you. In the past, you've let superficial distractions get in the way of forming meaningful relationships. That will soon change.

Spending the day with someone special feels exactly right. You're tired of spreading yourself thin at work and home.

You feel better than you have in years. That's because you've been taking good care of yourself, getting regular exercise and eating nutritious meals.

Do you already have a committed partner? Arrange to get away from the group and express your desire for each other.

Spending time with your family is enriching. You've always had a wide variety of friends, but your relatives have been a constant in your life. Although there are differences between you, the group has a series of shared experiences that make a strong bond. Instead of arguing over politics and religion, stay focused on each other's hobbies, families and even career concerns. You'll find yourself laughing at memories you hadn't thought about for years.

A friend from the past will try connecting with you via social media. You'll enjoy catching up on old times, but be wary about giving away too much personal information.

Christmas is perfect for treating yourself to luxury. Whether it's enjoying a gourmet meal, relaxing in a pair of silk pyjamas or splashing out on fresh flowers is immaterial.

Nobody could ever accuse you of being materialistic, but you do appreciate beautifully crafted things that engage all your senses. When you pause to smell the coffee, you get happier.

You're surrounded by admirers. If you're looking for love, you'll find it with someone who puts you on a pedestal. Be wary about creating a false impression of perfection. It's much better to be with a partner who has realistic expectations. Are you already in a relationship? This would be a wonderful time to plan a relaxing getaway with your amour. Choose a beautiful city by the sea, where you can escape the pressures of home. A change of scenery will cultivate passion.
