You may find that this is not the most appropriate time to make important decisions that affect your living situation or life circumstances. Someone may challenge your ideas or the direction that you want to take. It is a good time for everyone to write down what they want and then plan a time to review the ideas later. This could mean a new home or plans to refurbish the home in which the family lives now. You dislike sloppy ways of getting things done and will be creating a new remedy to make some of the tasks you employ easier to handle. Family objectives are very important to you. Family time is made easier by bringing dinner home tonight. This gives everyone a little extra time to read, chat and perhaps take a little walk out-of-doors.
Soon it will be time to communicate your ideas to a city meeting. A call early this morning may even remind you of some meeting coming up soon that will encompass the communication between the communities. This may mean it will soon be your opportunity to communicate ideas for improved walkways, animal laws, eliminating some extreme noise because of the highway or parking spaces of nearby businesses, etc., etc. Professionally, you will find yourself involved a bit more with writing and concentrating on some ongoing business. If you honestly believe in what you are saying, you will be very persuasive-at any time, but particularly at this meeting. You are respected by family and neighbors and you have lots of support.
Something may help you discover some new ways to go forward with a plan or decision in regard to your life situation. You may find yourself serving to guide someone younger than you in matters of importance. Here is your opportunity to set a good example. This is a vital day with lots of energy and much action. You may feel focused and even a bit radiant. You could find yourself able to really communicate with others. You instinctively want to be powerful and in control but you wisely stand aside and wait for the right opportunity to excel. This could all lead to a magnified interest in healing or investing. You and a loved one make plans for celebrating new beginnings and may decide on your very own special celebration.
There could be a situation where you feel as though you are butting heads with another and there could be a great deal of disagreement with what you say or think. The situation that you find yourself in may require some rethinking or else could challenge your ideas. It may be very difficult for you to communicate what you mean to others. Stop-this is probably not the best of times to attempt to get your ideas across to anyone, emotionally or otherwise. It is the best of times to do some writing about what you want to accomplish and where you want to see your life experiences develop or your ideas blossom. A get-together after the holiday celebrations will give you new ideas about how you want to develop a few new goals. An opportunity to visit with neighbors this morning is too good to pass up. Compassion and comprehension are emotional qualities that take on a greater significance. It’s wisdom, not knowledge, that really counts the most. Coming to accept the past or getting in touch with the mystical and spiritual are the things that give a sense of satisfaction and completeness. A very important bond, perhaps with an older person or someone in authority, may come into focus this afternoon. You may feel a bit of tension or sense of opposition that will require compromise or negotiation on your part. A fine opportunity for understanding and possibly even growth is at hand. Some good advice from an unexpected source may be forthcoming. This is a good day.
You are aware of the effect your ideas have on others. You may have two occupations at the same time and be successful, but it is demanding. Now, you may not want to take on such responsibility, especially long-term. A normal routine, however, will not interest you just now. You want to create opportunities to explore new places, people and ideas and this may call for a little time away from the workplace or perhaps, a new job. If you were not going anywhere today, this would be a good time to spend in review of your goals and plans. Talk over your ideas with a professional, peer or loved one that can help guide you in the direction that would best suit your talents. This evening there is plenty of time to celebrate.
You identify strongly with those around you. Others could find it very easy to follow your lead-you are an eloquent speaker and can communicate well. Things are natural for self-expression and luck in love and money may just seem to fall in your lap. Your ego will get a boost today, but be prepared for more responsibilities. Questions from young people are easy for you to answer and you will find the people asking you questions, will have an easy time in understanding your answers. You enjoy an insightful conversation with someone you love this afternoon. You are comfortable with your surroundings and enjoy a bit of laughter and joking with friends later today. You can expect the positive from all directions this holiday season.
There could be many temptations today to chat with friends and pass the day along. You are in a clear thinking sort of mood. Perhaps you can write your ideas down in a list type of style. This will help you to remain focused on the main flow of events. Ideas are flowing and come easily. Taking care of personal business, however, could be your number one priority for now. You desire organization and practicality as you begin to close the books on a variety of projects. Health issues take on more importance, especially as you begin to think about your personal goals for next year. If you do not have plans for celebrating with your friends, you could make them now. Those around you find you especially witty this evening.
