Hosting a festive gathering will give you a great opportunity to express your creativity. Even if you are hosting this event on a shoestring budget, praise will come your way. Friends will reveal how they feel so relaxed in your company. Your social life sparkles.

A challenge someone puts to you will provide you with the initiative you need to succeed in a competitive event. Someone doesn't seem to think you have got it in you to make a success of yourself and you are determined to prove them wrong.

You will prefer to work alone but you would find it far easier if you accept any and all help that is offered by friends or colleagues. A decision you have to make should be carefully considered with a close friend or partner especially if this might bring about change in the future.

Quality time spent with your special someone will remind you of how enjoyable life can be. Are you single and looking for love? Accepting an invitation to a festive gathering could lead to a surprise romantic encounter. Emotions are strong. You are in tune with the people in your life who matter.

There is a time and place in your life for everyone. Someone might accuse you of switching loyalties when you pull out of a team effort in order to take up something new. You are doing the sensible thing by working out your priorities. Go with what is right for you.

Discussions begin well but you may need to find patience with someone who seems to be deliberately preventing you from carrying out your aims. A goal is not unachievable as a senior colleague will try to imply. One success after another will prove there is no need to lower your sights at all.

Little things in life like hearing a child's laughter, having fun with you family and hugging someone you life will bring you happiness. You don't have to have a lot in the bank to find contentment. Painting, dancing and listening to music is all that it will take to uplift you.

Living for the moment will bring you happiness. Some dramatic decisions will be made without you even having to think about it. Even so, you might shock yourself by reacting so spontaneously to an unexpected offer. If you are preparing a speech or presentation, every word you use will matter.

Some time spent alone in thought will help you make new discoveries about yourself and those around you. Some splendid news is heading in your direction. Either you or someone who is close to you will be receiving a much-deserved award or small monetary prize.

Someone who is hard working, loyal and conscientious is about to step into your life. If you are single, this could be the start of a fulfilling relationship. An offer or opportunity will be the chance you have been looking for to achieve a special aim so don't turn this down just because it has come your way unexpectedly.

Sometimes you sense the best opportunities to go for, sometimes you get it wrong and then look back and realise that the change you felt was a wrong move was actually a stepping stone to better things. The best way to cope with a tense situation is to press on without allowing this to cause you too much inconvenience.

Helping with a festive fund-raiser or voluntary effort will reveal a talent that surprises even you. You seem to be discovering new things about yourself every day. It will take courage to take the helm of an important event. You are popular and in demand and your leadership qualities shine.
