Duty or other responsibilities force you to be on the move; this may upset a loved one who wanted you closer to home. An older relative may complain that a journey isn't necessary but they don't know all the facts. In a close and loving relationship, someone might need more reassurance. If married your in laws will be hard to please but persist in your efforts anyway.

Your future security is a main consideration when making decisions at this time. Those who aren't as cautious may accuse you of being too wary. People don't understand your need to build a settled future for yourself and your family. Going with what you feel is right will bring emotional and material enrichment. Let other people take risks if they feel so inclined but you won't follow suit.

Someone close is having second thoughts about pursuing a special aim. You know this means a lot to them and for this reason you will bend over backwards to give the support and reassurance they need. You have no hesitation about putting a close relationship onto a more committed level. Evening plans are fun but be sure to stick to a sensible budget.

It is always a pleasant feeling to be surrounded by friends and family. Even at work, more friendly relationships have recently been established. People expect you to continue being sociable but you feel a need to retreat and recharge your batteries. Working quietly in the background will suit you better today rather than getting too heavily involved in the hustle and bustle around you.

Your energy is dynamic; you will aggressively pursue your work, creative and career aims. Some excellent opportunities come your way to use your talents to their best advantage. This could see you putting the final touches to a project that has been lying around for ages. Accepting a friend's spur of the moment offer could have a pleasant romantic or friendship spin off.

When was the last time you told the ones you love how much you really care for them? Perhaps you can't remember. If you know you have not been as affectionate as you could and should have been of late, take steps to rectify this now. From a personal and emotional point of view you will feel so much better knowing there are no misunderstandings in your closest relationships.

Continue to make up your own mind about new offers, proposals and situations. Don't let anyone impose their views or opinions on you. You need to be more self assured and forward now, rather than following others in a sheep like fashion. A neighbourhood festive function will be a good deal more enjoyable than you expected. You could be hearing from an old friend with whom you have lost touch.

Recent events have changed financial prospects for the better, but today money and friendship is not a tranquil mix. Think twice before either borrowing or lending cash. At work, your boss or another colleague calls the tune; you would rather there was more occasion for individual thought and action. Eventually you will be left to your own devices. For now, keep your grievances to yourself.

Accept a party invitation and this could be your passport to a much improved social life. A festive get together brings you into contact with someone you haven't seen for a while. If you make a promise to keep in touch in the future, be sure to keep your word. High levels of energy help you take full advantage of the busy social scene starting to unfold around you.

A friend or colleague might protest about arrangements already agreed on. You sense changes will make life easier in the long run. For that reason, you will not be swayed. If you step back and observe events and conversations from a distance, you could learn something interesting about some people today. Relaxation is easier found this evening if you stick to familiar surroundings.

You help or defend someone you have not had a lot of time for lately. Today you realise your impression of them was way off beam. If you have misjudged anyone in any way, you will make up for that fact today. Talents going to waste should be shared with others. Join in with activities where you can enjoy hobbies and interests with like minded people.

Other people are keen to get your opinions and use your bright ideas. At first you might wonder if certain relationships are a little one sided. As the day progresses, people will be as helpful to you as you are for them. Someone will suggest a practical and efficient way to turn your ideas into reality. You will soon come to realise you make a good team.
