It is the way you won't take no for an answer that will get results. You know what you want and there is someone who owes you a big favour. It is time they were reminded of this. Whatever your goal, stick with your original intentions and this will bring the success you crave.

People are looking to you to take the helm of a big project. You realise the responsibility of being put in charge of the organisation of a big festive event. You are sensible, practical and organised and that is why you have been chosen for this role.

You shouldn't have to expect to have to find solutions to joint issues on your own. Discuss different options with your partner and others involved. Once you have come to a mutual agreement and the wheels of a new plan are set in motion, you will all feel an enormous sense of relief.

You have a choice: do nothing or do something. It's up to you. If there is something you aren't happy about, this is the day to do something positive about it. You've been thinking about this for some time and nothing is going to change unless you take the initiative.

You have already decided on what you are going to do and you know what this is going to accomplish. Nothing will be allowed to stand in your way. You will not put up with any nonsense from others and if anyone is uncooperative, they will be shown the door.

A message received from a loved one should be taken seriously. New friends will be made through taking up an unexpected invitation from an old friend. Opportunities that take you away from your usual stamping ground will bring the best experiences. Don't be surprised if you are feeling a need for more freedom.

There's no dress rehearsal for an event you attend today. Volunteers, stewards and organisers will have considered every angle and this will be evident as the day progresses. Invitations to parties and festive gatherings are starting to pour in but you don't have to accept them all.

Listen to the advice of an older relative or colleague who has been through a lot of what you are going through now. They are not criticising your efforts or decisions as you might think. They are only trying to help. It would be a big mistake to set your sights too high by taking on too much too soon.

Someone is expecting you to be your normal easy-going self. What they are demanding makes you feel like a pawn in a game. They are about to see the more stubborn side of your personality as you refuse to join in. No amount of persuasion will get you to change our mind.

A peaceful start to the day will give you a chance to catch up on jobs that have fallen behind. From midday onwards, the atmosphere will become more hectic. Someone will realise they have forgotten something and this realisation will cause quite some chaos.

You're thinking of making some changes to your lifestyle. Having your family's support and approval will mean a lot to you. What will be so striking when you attend a ceremonial event is the respectful silence of on-lookers. You might be surprised to be asked to host an important gathering.

An online buy could turn out to be much smaller or of a poorer quality than the advertised image. What looked like a bargain will be a disappointment. Remind yourself you should avoid impulsive buys. If you have set a Christmas budget, stick to it.
