What do the stars have in store for you?
Quite an easy going month without too many hassles. Some niggles with a partner regarding Christmas arrangements, but there’s always a compromise if you go looking for it. Work routines steady and relatively uneventful, giving you plenty of time to concentrate on more personal issues, and, I might add, some much brighter prospects for your long term career pathway.
You might have to ask a friend or member of family for a big favour! I don’t think you’ll be asking them for their money, more likely their time and the promise of commitment. Plans for the immediate post Christmas period depends totally on the co-operation of other people.
Where finances are concerned, this is likely to be a somewhat conservative period and you’ll be disinclined to splash the cash, mainly because you can’t see anything worth splashing out on. Relationships are more or less okay, but only if you can meet a partner half way; their requests and agendas might seem a bit unreasonable to you, but as far as they are concerned they have good cause to press forwards with their desires and ambitions, and you can probably give them what they want without it causing you any great distress.
December and Christmas can sometimes be a problematical period for many Taureans, but this year you sail through the days on a magic carpet of calm, taking everything in your stride. The 24th is probably the highlight of the season, and the 26th through ‘til the 30th favours travel aspects and reunions. Older Bulls suffer from chronic nostalgia! Too many Christmasses from the past crowd in, demanding to be remembered.
A decision that you made back in November may need to be reviewed at this time. Did you make the right choice, and if you didn’t, is there anything you can do about it? The chances are probably not – not without it costing you something you can’t afford to pay – so although you may be tempted to do otherwise, I suggest you go with the flow and let events take their course.
Relationships seem to be on a safe and even keel, and anything you can do to keep things this way has got to be worth the effort. Reunions planned for Christmas may have to be put back until the very last days of the month, and like your Arian neighbour, you will probably feel inclined to keep financial expenditure on a short leash.
Some early month tensions within the family, causing you to look at the forthcoming Christmas festivities with a sour expression on your face. And yet, people may well surprise you, and the festive season could well be a lot better than you expect. However busy you may be, set some time to one side for yourself, especially on the 25th and 26th.
This might be easier said than done if you’ve got loads of family commitments, but especially at this time of year, it might be a good idea to draw a line in the sand and stick to your guns – especially if someone who has ignored you for months suddenly comes knocking on your door, looking for festive favours. A close partner or spouse will be extremely supportive of your inclination to make some kind of principled stand and not to allow yourself to be taken for granted. This naturally leads to a greater degree of harmony with the key player in your life… and please note, I deliberately use the word player in the singular rather than players in the plural!
Christmas is, of course, a potentially expensive time of year, but as 2019 draws to a close, you’ll be inclined to keep quite a tight grip on the purse strings. You could splash out if you wanted to, but the fact of the matter is that you probably just don’t want to! This is not a case of “bah humbug” but is more in keeping with the ethos of you wanting something for yourself this time round.
A very busy run up to Christmas with some degree of confusion on the work scene. By the 23rd you’ll be in need of a break, so make the most of what Christmas has to offer! Emotional issues will be swept under the carpet and put on hold for a while, which is a good thing as it gives you a breathing space in which to make a few (secret) plans for the New Year. And on that note, it’s worth suggesting that you make every effort to keep your secrets secret, especially in affairs of the heart, because if word (or even the hint of a word) slips out, you’ll be up the Christmas creek without a paddle. Providing you’re careful and play it cool, there should be no emotional eruptions in the offing, but it has to be said that there is a certain brittleness in some important relationships. You can soften some of these sharp edges with a bit of careful manipulation, but probably not until the New Year – and only then if you want to!
From a financial point of view this could be quite a lavish Christmas, especially if you feel you’ve got something to prove or are looking for diversions and distractions. The behaviour of children might leave something to be desired, and might cause some annoyance and disappointment – especially if these kids are not your biological off-spring, and belong to somebody else! Ending this on a brighter note, physical health problems (if there are any) seem to be diminishing and you are not going to be short of energy for the multifaceted tasks which lay ahead.
You’ll be as busy as a bee in a hive right the way through until the 23rd, and after that it’s party party party right the way through Christmas until the dawn of the New Year. If others don’t have your energy and want you to “slow down” you’re probably going to ignore them, because you are absolutely determined to celebrate and have a good time.
Having said all that, there is another breed of Leo who’s been there a thousand times, who has done it all, has got a wardrobe full of T shirts, and who’s idea of having a good time involves watching omnibus editions of Corrie and Eastenders. To these good folk I want to say give yourself a kick in the proverbials and take a leaf out of the younger folks’ book. There is some fun out there to be had, but you’ve got to find the energy and the impetus to go looking for it.
Overall, however, December bodes well for the vast majority, and especially for those with business and career ambitions as the middle part of the month is a great time for networking and for meeting people who will serve you well and be useful in the future. A “jobby” kind of conversation around the 17th or 18th opens the doors of some financial opportunity. Business and pleasure mix quite well at this time and the proof of the Christmas pudding will be in the eating.
A very satisfying month with things going exactly as planned. Shouldn’t be any lows, but against that, the highs may not be particularly high. Those lucky enough to be travelling late in December probably get the best out of the period, and where relationships are concerned you’ll be very much in tune with a partner as you press forwards towards a common goal.
Around the 9th or 10th a friend in need will be something of a distraction, and much as you might want to, you’ll not be able to ignore their cry for help. This might lead to an unexpected journey that you could well do without, especially if you find yourself driving across the county to somewhere you’d rather not go to.
Finances seem to be okay, but do take note of the fact that you are now entering a period wherein gross revenue might shrink. Against this, you should be able to appreciate a bit more time to enjoy and make the most of whatever free time you’ve got. I don’t think there is anything too much to worry about here, although it may well be that your next car is a Mondeo rather than a Maserati… but through choice rather than enforced necessity.
Potentially this could be quite an exciting time for romance, especially for younger members of the sign… but even more mature Librans can enjoy some noticeable change for the better in affairs of the heart. Christmas creates an opportunity to build bridges and make new contacts, and the afternoon of the 25th could bring some surprising pleasures. Whatever is happening here won’t require the assistance of mistletoe.
Earlier in the month, between the 3rd and 6th, there will be an upsurge in work pressure and hours demanded of you, but on the up-side, this will create more leeway in Christmas budgeting. Also, between the 3rd and probably encroaching into the 7th or 8th there will be some heated discussion over Christmas priorities. Families make demands of you, but your own agenda creates a choice between families and lovers, and as many others have found before you, this creates a no-win scenario unless you are totally committed to the aforementioned lover to the exclusion of all else. Thus, deciding just how important a love interest might be is another cause of confusion and frustration. This scenario applies to most Librans, but females under the age of 25 will feel it more keenly than many others.
If anyone is going to be grumpy over the festive season, it’s the guys between 40 and 60 who see Christmas as an unnecessary distraction which prevents them from doing what they really want to do, which is to make money. Again, this is applicable to most gentlemen in the age group, but the self employed will feel is most strongly.
Regardless of what might be happening in connection with Christmas, you’ve got a sexual agenda on the cards here, and most of what you say and do will be influenced by your inner feelings and emotions. Some of you will resent the way in which Christmas gets in the way of your broader plans, while others will grasp the nettle and make sure the festive season accelerates your timetables. Frankly, I don’t see how you can lose if you follow the second option.
It seems to me that a lover or partner will be bending over backwards to please you, and if they hope for something in return, then why not? After all, it’s your pleasure they’re thinking of as much as their own. With this in mind, if a love interest is trying hard to persuade you into a certain course of action, if I were you, I’d allow myself to be persuaded. This is a bit of an ongoing theme throughout December, first raising its head around the 4th or 5th, becoming stronger around the 14th, and then becoming critically urgent around the 19th, 20th or 21st. If nothing else, these are exciting times in affairs of the heart.
You enter the month in a hopeful but reflective mood, not quite sure what the days ahead might bring, but knowing that they will bring something! You should be busy on the work scene up until the 15th or 16th, then everything falls a bit flat and you’ll be twiddling your thumbs. This will be welcomed by some, but cause some frustration to others… for example, those of you who need to be busy! The Christmas spirit may arrive a little late this year, but there is a bright vibe to the 24th, the usual routines on the 25th, and perhaps some feelings of anti-climax on the 26th… And yet, despite the fact that you might not be expecting too much from it, (perhaps even because of it) the festive season may end up being a whole lot better than you anticipated.
Inevitably there are occasions when your thoughts will turn to other people who are not with you at this time, and although it sounds a bit harsh, I think you should re-direct your thoughts towards yourself and your own immediate needs and priorities. Between the 27th and the 30th you should have some success in this quest, and are likely to enter the New Year in a much more even keel.
Some of you will not be too sorry to get to the end of 2019, and this is a good thing because 2020 is a whole new ball game with different rules and aiming points. You can’t have the highs without the lows, and if 2019 has been a bit of a low year, especially in affairs of the heart, then 2020 is definitely one of the highs and has a whole lot more to offer.
A curious month full of highs and lows, but you will hold your own, marching steadily to where you want to be. Some major changes to work regimes towards the month’s end combine to bring some sense of nostalgia but also high vibes of excitement. A welcome Christmas break enables you to recharge your batteries, ready for the challenges of the New Year.
Providing you avoid contentious arguments, relationships should remain on an even keel, although you may be a bit annoyed on Christmas Eve when a partner asks you to do something for them which really they should be doing for themselves. Having said that, they will have good reason for asking you to step in on their behalf, and if you think about it for five minutes, you’ll see the reason why.
One area of concern is finances, and while I accept that Christmas can cost a fortune, really this is one of those years where you need to exercise restraint, because if you don’t, a lover or partner will use this to justify their own spending, which will be a further drain on your reserves. The New Year brings greater stability and profitability so this Christmas scenario is really just a blip on the chart. Nevertheless, the message is still clear – Don’t spend more than you have to.
A fairly routine month on the career and business front, although some of you will find you have to weave your Christmas plans around work commitments. Logically, family reunions, however short, may figure in the scheme of things, and there are some very bright highlights on the 24th and 26th, while the 25th is quite flat in comparison. Gentlemen over 50 need to count the calories as a precursor to New Year diets and health regimes.
Aquarian parents will enjoy great delight in the achievements of their children, and there will be gestures forthcoming from those children to show how much they appreciate the input of parents in their lives over the years gone by. Therefore the family vibe is very potent and powerful at this time, but this could be slightly diminished when a son or daughter lets their mum and dad in on some of the plans ambitions they may have for their own future. It’s difficult enough for a parent to accept that one of their off-spring is heading off to university in Durham or Cambridge, but when they’re informed that little Mary is heading off to Dallas or Cambodia, it does throw a different light on the situation. Mothers in particular, especially mothers of teenage children, need to recognise that their kids are no longer children but young adults with minds of their own – and that can be fine wine from a poisoned chalice!
Nevertheless, Christmas represents a period of family unity in which in the bonds become even tighter – along with the foreknowledge that geographically at least, those bonds are destined to become stretched.
Providing you can avoid getting into arguments, especially political arguments, December should be reasonably calm and productive, giving you the chance to reassess a number of priorities and make plans for 2020. Christmas looks like bring a relatively quiet affair, and I suspect that’s okay by you, especially if it has been a choice of your own making.
There is always the exception to the rule, and while Piscesians can sometimes feel lonely like everyone else, they can survive quite comfortably in their own company. The trouble is, this becomes increasingly difficult with age and experience, and there are many Piscesians out there who are now looking to broaden their horizons but who don’t quite know how to go about doing it. I guess you’ve got to find your own way (and I’ll avoid the usual clichés) but suffice to say “seek and ye shall find” and if you don’t believe me, put it to the test.
There is a deeply romantic spirit that dwells within the soul of every member of the sign. If you can start by acknowledging this fact and allowing its truth to guide your actions and influence your words, then 2020 could be the year in which everything starts to change, regardless of age, sex, and expectation.
With these thoughts in mind, if there is an unexpected invitation around the 22nd or 23rd for God’s sake, don’t think about it for more than three seconds. Just say yes! This could bring a whole new dimension to the festive season and I know you won’t be sorry.
