Some lavish entertainment is on your agenda. A surprise visitor will make you really happy. Festive get togethers with friends and workmates will remind you of how much you enjoy having fun with friends. Just remember you can't attend every party or you will start waking up in the mornings feeling grouchy.

There remains one or two festive plans and arrangements with a question mark hanging over them. You always prefer to plan in advance. It might be a good idea to make a few calls, send some text messages and firm up arrangements. That way you will know where you are.

Someone has taken on a heavy workload and will need some assistance. You've been through this before and have the energy to survive a demanding festive program. Helping a workmate clear the decks in time for Christmas will also give you a chance to see how your colleagues operate.

You're concerned about a loved one or friend's dull mood. Give them space rather than keep asking them what's on their mind. At the same time be ready with a shoulder to lean on should they need help or advice once they decide to approach you.

After a busy morning the afternoon will be more sociable and relaxed. You will find it easy to wind down and the peaceful, relaxing evening you are looking forward to will give you a chance to recharge your batteries. Romantic developments will help heal emotional wounds.

Vague promises are being made. You want to see more than this. It all seems to be a lot of rhetoric and that is not enough anymore. What you and many other people are hoping for is substance over sound. You will start to see a huge improvement in a family related issue that has been causing some concern.

Friends are getting into the habit of expecting you to drop everything when they need you. It's as if they don't want to acknowledge you have a life of your own. Social and outside demands are starting to interfere with your private plans. You've been too agreeable but you may have to learn how to say no.

An apology may be necessary as you discover you were wrong about someone you thought was a killjoy. Far from ruining a group get together they will share ideas that will add spice and excitement to the occasion. Now you have revised your opinion, your relationship will improve.

A group project seems to have hit a problem. Are you in a position of leadership? If you widen the scope of what you expect everyone to do there could be a problem. You may need to assign specific tasks to specific people and allow them to focus on what they do best.

Splashing out on things you don't need is not a good idea. If you are starting to realise you are spending for the sake of spending, it is time for this to stop. Buying things won't make you feel better. It is not a fix when spending gets you into debt.

There's a certain element of trust required to hand over some responsibilities to a colleague. What might surprise you is they will take up the mantle and off they will go. You feel privileged to work with some amazingly talented people. You feel a need of some kind of escapism more than ever.

You are hoping to find some time to call your own. One reason for this is because you need to do some thinking. You are at the opening stage of a legal or property transaction and you won't want to make a wrong decision. Your mood is a serious one and quite rightly so.
