Don’t be too quick to drop plans you might have put in place for the future. Finances might have something to do with this but there might be other ways to work this out. Whatever decisions you think might need to make now can go through quite some modification and become finalised from mid January to early February.
You could begin to get a better idea of future plans that can be made involving somebody else. Look upon this as a first stage though. The most important thing is the agreement. Things could slow down up to Christmas that could lead to changes. A final solid result can develop from mid January through to early February.
Someone else could decide it is time to take a new direction that involves them avoiding responsibility in some way, which could disappoint you. While they might present themselves as flexible, underneath it all, they can be rather rebellious in a subtle, yet definite manner. They could express their thoughts more openly between Christmas and mid January.
You can very much enjoy catching up with someone from the past this week. You could also bump into people you haven’t seen in a while up to early January. Be cautious when it comes to promising to take on certain chores. You could be landed with a lot more than you expected. If this does happen, don’t be afraid to stand up for yourself.
You could feel driven to get jobs you have been intending to do out of the way resulting in an underlying sense of self satisfaction. This would also be a good time to organise final details with family relating to Christmas or into the New Year. They need to know that you will not appreciate being landed with things at the last minute.
Don’t be made to feel guilty about any new directions you wish to take related to the family when it comes to Christmas. This will more likely be about making things simpler. This is unlikely to bother younger ones. When it comes to having a break, it might be best to plan this from mid January until early February so that things run smoothly.
You could find some novel ways to save money by utilising things from the past – this could be changing long held habit patterns related to Christmas. Don’t feel as though you need to do more work than is necessary. If other people expect this, let them get more involved and take on some of the responsibility. Be determined to enjoy Christmas to New Year.
Be prepared to discuss what you would like because people probably find you hard to read. You could decide new directions need to be taken when it comes to spending on things that don’t really matter. Point this out. This could be met with a degree of rebellion but in the end, what you decide will stand. These things have to be done at times.
The New Moon this week falls into your sign, heralding new beginnings of some description when it comes to things that involve you personally. It could be changes you want to make about yourself. You may not be able to get a clear picture until Mercury, the planet of thought and decision making moves back into your sign from Christmas to mid January.
There could be much to review and think over from now to Christmas. Past matters could come up for reassessment as well. Hold off on final decision making because there are new directions building up in the background that are not fully recognisable yet. Catching up with friends you haven’t seen in a while can be most enjoyable.
Find time to yourself this week to gather your thoughts, particularly when it comes to any obligations you have committed yourself to, even though they are something to look forward to. New things could begin to become a priority for you now. It would be better to catch up with friends between Christmas and mid January when you can be more relaxed.
What you need to manage could seem overwhelming right now. This can be about taking a new path when it comes to commitments you need to handle that cannot be avoided, as much as you might like to. Focus on important priorities to generate more balance in the long term. What you decide now could take a steady path to completion mid January to early February.
