Aries
Try not to delve so far into Christmas preparations this year that it spoils the fun. If needed, take some time for yourself by turning off your phone, putting on your favourite Christmas movie, baking some cookies and relaxing with a glass of wine. Aries can easily succumb to too much pressure, especially during the festive season, spoiling pleasure with stress. If you do have a lot of planning to do, spread out the small tasks throughout the week before Christmas, to reach the big day happy and ready to participate in family celebrations.
Taurus
Keep an eye on your budget this festive season, and make sure you define a clear boundary between spending on gifts and Christmas dinner. Do not necessarily expect your other half to do the same however - they may be more stingy or more generous from growing up with different holiday traditions. Remember to relax, and try to plan something nice rather than perfect. It is not a contest of hosting the most beautiful Christmas party. Just make sure everybody has fun! Professionally, you are dynamic and enjoyable, so keep the same trend at home.
Gemini
Put priority on your relationship and try to spend some time with your partner before the surging family celebrations. You might even decide to get away this weekend for some quiet time. You are having a bit of trouble with a brother or sister by holding on to something from the past. Agree to let go of the issue that has frozen the relationship. It is time to make an emotional update, childhood is far away, everyone has changed, grown, matured. Approach the holidays with a new spirit.
Cancer
Avoid being overwhelmed by family this festive season. Christmas can raise emotional pressure, be it the mother-in-law who keeps commenting on your cooking, the father-in-law who does not know how to say thank you when you give him a gift, or children who refuse to help around the house. Take care of yourself first, do not panic, and everything will be fine. Rest, meditate, drink tea, breathe and do not make stress in advance for what has not yet happened. Disasters are not mandatory, change your vision.
Leo
Relaxed and happy, you’re in a good position for the end of 2016. Without the festive season to end the year, things just wouldn’t be right for the Lioness! So take the time to enjoy the rest of the year and festivities before kickstarting another great year. In love, you ask your darling their current feelings and future intentions in an effort to be reassured. Be careful in how you ask, so as not to frame the question as an interrogation but rather a serious discussion about the future.
Virgo
If you are overwhelmed by a mess in your home, find some time for a day-long clean. It calms you down, and the zen from your environment gives you inner peace. Housekeeping aside, stay pretty during the weekend, and don’t go out in any old clothes. Just because you are in household mode doesn’t mean that you have to let go. A trip to the hairdresser when you are ready will also allow you to prepare a festive look and put you in the right mood. In your budding love life, exchanges with a man you only know virtually intrigue you. Do not postpone the actual meeting at the beginning of the year.
Libra
Some communication concerns with a family member should encourage you to seek clarity in the relationship. You are the mediator of the zodiac, and prefer harmonious relations even when it requires an effort. In friendship, on the other hand, everything is easy, so enjoy every moment where exchanges are funny and tender. Do not force yourself into relationships, choose those that make you happy. As a couple, continue to stimulate your partner; they need it.
Scorpio
Full of lucidity, you know exactly what to expect from your family members. This is no reason to adopt a cynical attitude. You might miss a pleasant surprise in the behaviour of some people who are not as stuck, egoistic, or rigid as you might think. People evolve if they are given a chance. The Christmas festivities stir a lot of emotions, and the Scorpioness can focus too much on opinions formed in the past. Make preparations that put you in the spirit of Christmas.
Sagittarius
Celebrate your birthday with joy but a certain interior gravity as well. Become aware of the time and precious moments you share with your loved ones. You try to juggle your schedule to meet friends scattered geographically. Sometimes a quick call, a letter, or a card are enough. Do not feel as though you’re unable to prove your love to everyone, even if you are the queen of the connection. Brothers and sisters count for you, say it in words. Give your partner the most attention though - they deserve priority.
Capricorn
You are becoming too agitated about organisational details. Christmas parties should be a joy, not an arduous task. Try to make it a family affair, where everybody participates, even the younger kids! You will not be happier because you have total control of the situation. Trust others, let go of the ballast, and have fun. Sleep earlier and ensure you get enough rest so you will not be too tired for festivities.
Aquarius
You want to take care of yourself and your beauty for the holidays. Pick up a cute new evening dress, some new make-up, even a little bit of botox. Give yourself pleasure, exchange the good stuff with girlfriends, and do not bother keeping your darling informed of everything you do to be beautiful. Men do not understand. They want "natural" women. The result counts - you should feel good about yourself.
Pisces
Feeling frustrated sentimentally? Talk to your darling about their personal, familial, or professional worries. They may be stressed out about the end of the year and are unintentionally neglecting you. You feel your physical energy go up, so it's time to do all the last minute things you haven’t got around to yet. From setting up your Christmas tree to planning your finances for 2017, now is the time to do it! If you are not sleeping well, do not try to force it. Spend the time doing other things that will put you to sleep, like catching up on work emails.
