Someone you classed as a good friend will disappoint you. Whether or not they meant to do it, a secret you had trusted them with now seems to be public knowledge. Despite their apologies you are seeing them through different eyes and you won't be making the same mistake twice.

There's a strongly sociable feel in the air. At the same time you have plans and you won't succeed in these intentions without giving them some time. Because of this there'll be a need to balance pleasure with your more important concerns. Good planning will mean you miss out on neither.

All in all, you're keeping on top of most responsibilities. Emphasis is on work and financial concerns but this will soon be changing. It might be a good idea because of this, to double check everything is in apple pie order. You don't want to forget something you won't be in the mood for closer to Christmas.

After having to deal with a relationship issue you can now return to the more practical affairs in life. On the whole there will be nothing too bothersome or demanding waiting for you now. Traces of unfinished jobs remain but other than this there seems to be little of any urgency to attend to.

Take care of your own interests and leave others to their own responsibilities. You are all as busy as each other so there's no reason why anyone should expect you to take on some of their load. If you take on any more you will end up swimming out of your depth. It might be time to let some commitments go.

A friend or colleague may not reveal what they are wanting immediately but it will soon become apparent they're hoping for information which might not be something you really want to share. When you sense someone has called you to pick your brains suggest they do their own research to find answers.

You have some doubt about a recent money move or expenditure. If there is a clause that allows you to cancel this agreement during the cooling off period, be sure to act while you can. Don't be too annoyed with yourself for having made a wrong decision. Once you've rectified the matter aim for activities that keep your mind off your financial concerns.

A friend has become besotted with someone who is growing annoyed with this situation. It may be up to you to bring them down to earth. With tact and diplomacy point out that it is too soon to make plans for the future where this person is concerned. You may not be overwhelmed with thanks immediately but they will come your way eventually.

Despite your efforts to avoid misunderstandings in the workplace you could find yourself having to answer for something that wasn't your fault. To explain the situation fully may mean revealing a colleague's recent mistakes but this might be preferable to leaving your boss thinking the worst of you.

The patient and tolerant attitude you've recently been showing towards an awkward client has made a big impression on your boss. They may not show it in a big way but you should be in no doubt they respect your workmanship. Continue to play down any minor differences of opinion in the workplace.

News being spread around your neighbourhood seems to have got everyone talking. You, for one, will enjoy the excitement when you feel it's about time the place livened up a bit. Helping to organise a festive event will be fun even if there are some who don't share your sense of community.

You're prepared to go out of your way to clear the air between you and a workmate who you haven't been seeing eye to eye with recently. After all, it is near enough, the Season of Goodwill and you would prefer to work in harmony. It may still be necessary to pile on the charm to get them to feel the same way.
