Don't let yourself be harrassed by family or friends insisting that you do things their way. But with the Sun challenging Neptune on 5 December, avoid pushing forward ideas of your own as it could prove over-ambitious. You and those around you must find a collaborative way of completing whatever it is you need to do together.

An intensely personal matter may seem confusing and frustrating. But in the second half of December, a light will be shone on some relevant factors that you haven't previously had access to. As a result, you will be armed with new information that will mean a solution presents itself, right when it's needed most.
Developments within a somewhat testing area should flourish with Venus reaching a high point of your chart early in the month. This is not to say that you can take chances financially or in terms of your reputation. Opportunities may seem heaven-sent but you need to approach them with rational thinking at all times.
It may be tempting to toughen up your approach to certain friends or colleagues but you won't want to rupture meaningful relationships. Therefore, rather than make off-the-cuff comments when you feel you're under attack, remain in a neutral space. You'll stand a much better chance of defending yourself while also earning the respect of those involved.
Having avoided an unusual journey or get-together, you should reconsider the situation. A new way of thinking will reassure you that there's much to be gained from embarking on a venture that looks promising. One person in particular will let you know how right you are to take what initially seemed like a daring step.
Recent concerns about a close relationship should fade as Mercury resumes its forward motion. Even so, take care not to appear irritating or intimidating as you explore one particular topic that will continue to be controversial. Listen carefully to what you're being told and offer thoughtful and considerate responses.

You should suddenly find the energy and enthusiasm for a joint project previously considered unsuitable for you. Do be wary, however, of friends or workmates trying to persuade you to disregard budgets, deadlines and other practicalities. Positive thinking alone is not enough at a time like this, as you may discover late in December.
You might have felt the need to be more attentive towards a close relationship for some time. Unless you act swiftly, you'll find that more damage has been caused than you ever thought likely or possible. Put shyness or awkwardness to one side and broach the issue, even though you know it will prove challenging.
Although work and family commitments will make extra demands on you, don't deprive yourself of diversions that will lift your spirits. Around 12 December especially, take seriously suggestions made by someone who realises how much you would benefit from indulging in a carefree, light-hearted episode.
Discussions as to whether a joint scheme can be approached with total optimism might confound you. Neptune's sharp link to Uranus in mid-December could bring matters to a head. You and whoever else concerned will need to trash out every little detail before signing off the plan and making a start.
At last, you can confront a situation that has caused you to question your self-worth and resources. Having given the matter the full attention that it warrants, you should see that you have far more to offer the world than your harshest critics may have suggested. It's not about being self-delusional—it's about knowing your true self.
While you're busy juggling your personal life and practicalities, others may feel deprived of your support. The answer isn't to swamp them with affection but to be mindful of your tendency to assume that those around you can fend for themselves. That isn't always the case—although nobody likes to spell it out to you.
