You can understand why friends will be vexed when you pull out of a group venture. They were relying on you for your help but work commitments are starting to interfere with social arrangements. Your priorities must lie with your job.

Indulge your imagination and let your inner child come out to play. Making your own Christmas gifts and decorations will fill you with excitement. Get out your paint brushes, art paper, paints and glue. Gather materials and set a timeline. Take this opportunity to follow your creative impulses.

A friendship isn't working. You will both acknowledge this and agree to go your separate ways. On the other hand, time you spend with a loving partner will feel magical as you both seize any opportunity to be spontaneous and act on the mood of the moment.

Disagreements in the family upset you. You wish you could find a way to please everyone. You can sense some relationships are changing. Where there is discord, the least said, the sooner it will be resolved. At least there is increased scope for social activities within your community.

Love is in the air and you are surrounded by social activity. This is a wonderful time to start planning a wedding or family holiday. Discussing ideas for a get-together will uplift and inspire you. Be certain to jot down the ones you will want to develop. Everything is starting to go your way.

You could do with some cheerful company. If the day is somewhat solitary you might invite some friends around to your home this evening. If you or someone close is recovering after an illness or accident, the outlook looks brighter and a rise in spirits can be expected.

A senior colleague who understands experiences you are going through now will offer some advice. It won't be conditional that you act on their suggestions. Even so, they will seem to know what they are talking about and you could learn a lot by just listening to them.

An unexpected expense will knock your Christmas budget for six. There are still ways to stretch your already frugal Christmas budget. Take advantage of supermarket saver schemes. Keep your eyes peeled for voucher codes and special offers. Encourage family members to be careful with their cash.

You are starting to see some changes for the better in both your personal and professional lives. You have some great ideas you want to share with others. Just turn on the charm and wait for everyone to realise the value of the suggestions you are making.

You aren't getting on well with someone in authority. A difference of opinion will upset you more than you care to admit. It is time to start looking for a better position. A generous cash gift from a favourite relative will be some help towards a wedding or anniversary celebration you are arranging.

You're thinking of doing some Christmas volunteer work and you would like your partner and family to support you. Be honest with them about what is motivating you to do what you want to do. Even if there are some grumbles, it's unlikely anyone will try to stand in your way.

You can always reorganise things if something crops up that you would much rather be doing. Few people will complain if you postpone a meeting or appointment they hadn't been looking forward to anyway. Some specialised training that is offered will, in the long-term, increase your earning potential.
