This should always be a good time of year for most Aquarians as friendships and socialising are strongly highlighted. It is a good time to work with others on a joint goal or be part of a team pushing a new idea.

This is the time of year when your professional life and career becomes a more important focus. So you should be sure not to ignore the flow of energy into that area of life; turn it to your advantage.

This week you should try to learn something new, either by way of travelling somewhere different or taking up a short study course. Do something that stretches you.

There is a strong emphasis on partnerships, money, property and assets you have in common with others but this is neither good or bad, it just means that there are likely to be matters concerning these things to handle over the coming few weeks.

Your energy will be held within more than usual. But this isn’t a bad thing; it merely makes you more reflective and intuitive. There are good lunar influences this week that will help you feel more light-hearted.

It is possible that you may have to put your needs to one side and follow the lead rather than take it. You will gain great satisfaction from doing things well rather than bemoaning the fact.

This is a time when you can simply be yourself but be aware that it is also a time to know yourself — the two are quite different matters! You may find yourself shying away from your duties or responsibilities and while seeking excitement is good, you should not ignore what has to be done.

Psychological self-evaluation will be very important to your personal growth right now and you will benefit by taking stock of how your past has made you what you are today and what (if anything) needs to be changed.

You may find that the pace of your life quickens up this week (and not just because it’s nearly Christmas). It’s more about getting out and about for you, that way you’ll interact with others more.

If you want to show off possessions or other materialistic things you have, be sure to do it humbly and so it gives pleasure to others as well. Otherwise those people will find you rather arrogant and won’t want to be around you!

It’s time to make plans for the year ahead. Whether those plans are big or small, it is important that you make them. This is not a time to leave thing to chance. This week should be relatively easy going.

This is the time of year when it is good for you to reflect on the year that has passed and see what has occurred. Leave no stone unturned.
