After a busy few days that have seen you more active than planned, you feel ready to call a halt to dealing with duty. There are a variety of ways you could wind down and you know you will find most contentment through being at home with your family.

If you've been feeling a little lonely, it will be up to you to do something about it. You may not be able to meet up with friends as regularly as normal but you could connect online. Call a relative who you've not spoken to for a while. They may be feeling isolated too and a phone call would mean the world to them.

It's disappointing that you are trying to be creative and others around you are thinking along more mundane lines. Be tolerant. There's no reason why you can't experiment on those wild and wonderful ideas in your head while in the meantime allowing less bold people to slowly get used to some suggestions.

Say 'no' to friends who try to tempt you to splash out on expensive and unnecessary pleasures. Let them know that when you say you can't afford it, you mean it. Most contentment will come from simple pleasures. You can still have fun this Christmas without spending a lot.

You're determined to keep on top of your Christmas To Do list. Pay those bills you've been stuffing in a drawer. Finish any shopping for the home that has yet to be done and you won't have these matters nagging away at the back of your mind. You would hate to leave everything to the last minute.

You've been blessed with wonderful artistic instincts. Put these skills to use while you have a chance. Whether you're making a gingerbread house, homemade candles or bath bombs, is immaterial. It will be fun to exercise your creativity this Christmas and this will save you loads of money, as well.

You've never looked for rewards for helping others. When someone offers to repay a favour you did for them in the past, this will take you by surprise. Because of their help, a problem will be dealt with in no time at all. You are discovering how the Universe takes care of people who aren't in it for personal reward.

You don't relish the idea of spending too much time on your own. You would rather be out and about, mixing with your friends. If your movements are restricted, you could always arrange to spend some time with a group of friends online. Host a virtual Christmas party.

The balance is out of kilter in a close relationship. One of you is doing too much for the other. Either you or a partner has to learn to become more self-reliant. Now is the time to agree to make some changes if you hope to encourage feelings of independence while still being half of a duo.

Success will come out of a wonderful combination of good judgement, good luck and harmonious interactions. A group project will benefit from your creative contributions. Some aspects of this work will be kept secret a short while longer. A change of address will bring great joy and happiness.
