Born between:

A certain person is strong-willed today and they'll be very reluctant to do anything they don't want to do. This could lead to some ructions in which everyone becomes firmly entrenched in their own opinions and refuses to acknowledge anyone else's point of view. Get the arguments out of the way early on, so you can then concentrate on having a really enjoyable New Year's Eve. Harmonious colours are blood red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 29 and 16.
 
Once you accept that even the best-laid plans could go awry today, you'll find that life is a lot easier to cope with. So try your hardest to take everything in your stride, even if you do have to rethink an arrangement at the eleventh hour. At least it's never a dull moment! Do your best not to let the tensions of the day spoil what promises to be some spectacular New Year's Eve celebrations. It will be an opportunity to let off steam. Have fun! Outrageous colours are shimmering purple and shimmering pink. Lucky numbers are 18 and 60.
 
Friends and partners aren't behaving as you would like today. They're eager to go their own way, much to your annoyance. In order to get round this you're going to have to ask yourself some tricky questions, such as whether you're trying to control everyone's behaviour or whether they're being inconsiderate in wanting to do their own thing. Maybe you should all release the tension by making it a super New Year's Eve celebration? Auspicious colours are peach and primrose yellow. Lucky numbers are 5 and 19.
 
Someone wants to go their own way today and they won't care whose feathers they ruffle in the process. Well, let them get on with it. The last thing you should do now is to hang on to their coat-tails or do anything else that will make them feel restricted. So grit your teeth and make it plain that you've got your own fish to fry, thank you very much. And try not to let it stop you enjoying yourself. Have a great night! Bold colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 24 and 66.
 
You're in a strange mood, Sagittarius. You're feeling impatient and cross, and nothing is quite right. You're also being rather contrary, making you determined to do the opposite of what's expected of you. Try to sort out the problem sooner rather than later, then do something energetic and therapeutic so you can burn off your nervous energy. Then you're all set for a great New Year's Eve! Sociable colours are ivory and apricot. Lucky numbers are 32 and 55.
 
Someone is being headstrong and wilful, and absolutely determined to do what they want. This could lead to some heated discussions and possibly even rows, as you argue the toss back and forth. It might be best to accept that there's very little possibility of reaching an agreement rather than to get locked in a stubborn battle of wills. Besides, you don't want anything to spoil what promises to be a very enjoyable New Year's Eve. Have fun! Fortunate colours are crimson and platinum. Lucky numbers are 4 and 43.
 
Someone is extremely headstrong and defiant today, and there's every chance that you're the one fitting this description. If so, what's got into you? The more others are trying to make you behave yourself or do what they want, the more determined you'll be to do the exact opposite. Show them that you're an individual in your own right without going completely overboard about it, because that will cause trouble. Then once you've got all that off your chest you can relax and look forward to a really Happy New Year! Stabilising colours are ebony and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 29 and 27.
 
There's an erratic quality to the day, with loved ones behaving in ways you hadn't counted on. The only way to cope with this is to be as flexible as possible. Someone might change an arrangement at the eleventh hour so you have to think on your feet, or they may be determined to do their own thing even though it doesn't suit you. Get any arguments out of the way quickly so you can enjoy your New Year's Eve celebrations with a glad heart. Ideal colours are ochre and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 54 and 77.
 
A loved one is very eager to assert themselves today, especially if they're at an age where they're still experimenting with their new-found independence. They're in a rebellious mood and you'll only make it worse if you come down on them like a ton of bricks. Besides, do you really want to spoil this evening's celebrations because you've had a flaming row? If possible, live and let live, so you can have a really happy New Year! Beneficial colours are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 38 and 28.
 
You'll need every ounce of patience today because even the best- laid plans could go up in smoke at a moment's notice. It seems that certain people are doing their best to throw spanners in the works, and the more annoyed you become the more they'll goad you still further. If there's dissent in the ranks about how to spend New Year's Eve, you may decide to go your own sweet way and prove that you're an individual in your own right. But try not to let any bad feelings mar the celebrations. Have a fantastic night! Dynamic colours are platinum and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 36 and 23.
 
The more you want to control someone, or they want to control you, the more difficult life will be today. The last thing you should do now is to act as though you own this person, or tell them what to do, because it will be an instant recipe for rebellion and trouble. If you don't want to spoil the evening's celebrations you'll have to make compromises, and hope that this person will do the same. Don't let them stop you having a very happy New Year's Eve. Ideal colours are dark green and lemon. Lucky numbers are 28 and 2.
 
If you live with other people you have to resign yourself to the fact that you all want to do different things today. The more you urge togetherness, the more everyone will be determined to do their own thing even if it creates problems. Try to play this down as much as possible because getting angry won't solve anything and may even make the situation worse. Maybe this is a chance for you to do what you want for a change, too? Anyway, enjoy yourself tonight, Libra because you deserve it! Prosperous colours are dusky rose and olive. Lucky numbers are 29 and 43.
 
Today looks like being one of the happiest and most convivial days this month, so make the most of it. Ideally, you should make laughter and pleasure your main priorities, with a good dash of romance as well. Get together with people who always make you happy or devote yourself to you-know-who and indulge your senses to the utmost. You won't want the day to end. Vibrant colours are cherry pink and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 27 and 31.
 
You shine in all social settings today and you'll quickly become the centre of attention. This will be highly gratifying, but even more so if you-know-who is plainly smitten by your many charms. If you're a solo Gemini you stand a good chance of meeting a new love now, so put on your best clothes and make a beeline for the nearest party or gathering. Good luck! Empowering colours are dark purple and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 10 and 32.
 
Discussions and meetings go really well today because you're finding it easy to put your thoughts into words. You'll also show that you respect other people's viewpoints even if they don't coincide with your own. It's a good day for making domestic plans, and some of these will be quite ambitious without being unrealistic or far-fetched. Liberating colours are spring green and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 40 and 77.
 
You're thinking along very inventive lines today, which is brilliant if you're trying to decide what you want to achieve in 2005. Get out a notebook or diary and start jotting down your ideas, so there's no danger of forgetting them. Discussing some of your plans with someone you respect could lead to even more brainwaves, and will assure you of their moral and emotional support. Creative colours are ochre and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 32 and 12.
 
It's no good - the prospect of visiting the post-Christmas sales has become too tempting for you to resist any longer. No matter what you're doing today, you'll try to squeeze in the opportunity to dash around some of your favourite shops and see what's on offer. You could snap up some bargains but you should guard against the urge to splurge on items that you don't really want or need. The price of something may have been slashed but the acid test is whether you'd still buy it if it were full price. If not, leave it in the shop! Beneficial colours are maroon and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 1 and 6.
 
If the December sales are calling you, you'd better work out a budget before you leave the house. Otherwise, you'll be tempted to use your credit card first and only consider the cost of your purchase later on. Even so, you could track down some great bargains now, provided you don't get carried away and buy items that you don't really want simply because you're astonished by the amount of money you'll save in buying them. But you'll save even more money if you don't buy them! Fortunate colours are cinnamon and avocado. Lucky numbers are 20 and 47.
 
If you're invited to a party or gathering today and you don't know whether to go, you should. You'll have a terrific time and you might meet someone who always makes your knees go weak. Even if it's a perfectly harmless flirtation and you're both happily committed to other people, it will still do your ego good to have a tantalizing conversation with this person. Beneficial colours are kiwifruit and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 44.
 
You're eager to have a good time this Thursday, and nothing less will do; you'll soon put your work to one side and start to enjoy yourself instead. If you're going to a social event that you've been looking forward to for ages, try to keep a firm grip on your expectations in case reality falls far short of them. Be especially realistic if you've got high hopes of love and romance. Practical colours are taupe and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 33 and 59.
 
This is a really good day and you're feeling on top of the world. You've got a spring in your step, which won't go unnoticed by a certain person. It's terrific for making plans for the future, especially if you're hatching them with the person who'll be helping you to carry them out. Right now, you want to look ahead to 2005 with hope, optimism and enthusiasm. Ideal colours are dark brown and cream. Lucky numbers are 16 and 19.
 
If you've been surrounded by people during the past few days you welcome the chance to have some time to yourself today. It's a wonderful excuse to do something really indulgent in private, such as scoff a whole box of chocolates while watching a favourite film on TV. But make sure you destroy all the evidence before everyone else comes home! Fortunate colours are aqua and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 4 and 1.
 
If you're wondering whether to be sociable or to have the day off, you'll be missing out on lots of fun if you keep yourself to yourself. You're in one of those sparkling and witty moods that wins you lots of admirers and boosts your ego no end. You'll be especially happy to get together with friends or to take part in a group event that introduces you to some kindred spirits. Exciting colours are irridescent green and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 38 and 3.
 
Get together with someone you respect and admire because you'll really enjoy their company. The conversation could soon turn to highly personal areas, yet there won't be any hesitation in talking straight from the heart. At some point you'll be in the mood to think about your New Year resolutions. Maybe you should write them in next year's diary so you can keep referring to them. Favourable colours are pale pink and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 37 and 18.
 
There are mixed messages flying around in the ether today, so be wary about drawing any concrete conclusions from what happens now. Even though you don't realize it, you may be misreading the signs that someone is sending out, which will lead to complications later on. Be especially careful about indulging in romantic daydreams and then believing them. Fortuitous colours are silvery blue and pistachio. Lucky numbers are 24 and 32.
 
Your thoughts turn to the past today, putting you in a nostalgic mood. You're awash with sentimental tears as you dwell on days gone by or gaze at photos of people you'll never see again. However, try not to let this mood of reminiscence turn into a tendency to feel sorry for yourself and therefore to demand special treatment from others. Practical colours are sepia and ebony. Lucky numbers are 33 and 6.
 
It's easy to become distracted and confused because your mind is wandering about in all sorts of different directions. You're also in a highly impressionable state so will believe almost anything you're told now, whether it's true or a total flight of fancy. Be wary of muddling others by only telling them half the story or letting your imagination fill in any gaps. Liberating colours are silver and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 17 and 49.
 
Be careful now, because you could easily give someone the wrong impression and not even know that you're doing it. This is most likely to happen if you're trying to pussy-foot around them or avoid offending them, because that's when things could get lost in translation. You also have a tendency to sit on the fence now, which could make you seem slightly untrustworthy or shifty if you aren't careful. Prosperous colours are sunflower yellow and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 33.
 
Be careful today Cancer, because your emotions could cloud certain issues as they often to and leave you feeling confused. You should be especially wary of believing what you want to believe, rather than believing the evidence in front of your eyes. It's easy to kid yourself now about someone's motives or reliability, even if deep down you know that you're telling yourself a load of old twaddle. Stable colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 7 and 52.
 
It's hard to pin down a certain person today because they're being so vague and dithery. Ask them a question and they'll vacillate or be unable to give you a straight answer. You might suspect them of deceitful goings on but it's far more likely that they're simply in a world of their own and can't keep their mind on anything for long. Don't worry, they'll soon be back on planet earth. Bold colours are irridescent green and taupe. Lucky numbers are 6 and 49.
 
Confusion reigns supreme today, especially when dealing with financial matters. You could get into a muddle when sorting out your accounts or when working out how much you owe someone, even though you may not notice this at the time. It certainly isn't the day for parting with large sums of money because the chances of something going wrong are very high. Positive colours are primrose yellow and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 24 and 33.
 
Whether the excesses of the past few days are catching up with you or you're feeling drained for other reasons, you need as much rest as possible today. Once you get tired, your defences will be down and you'll start to fret about whatever is currently nagging away at the back of your mind. You're also concerned about the welfare of a certain person, which doesn't help. Restful colours are ultramarine and pale grey. Lucky numbers are 1 and 64.
 
If something is weighing on your mind it will start to affect your health, Virgo. It might make you feel tired or depressed, or it could dominate your thoughts. You know what you should do about it, of course, but it seems like too much effort or you want to pretend that it doesn't exist. Unfortunately, this escapist attitude won't make the problem go away and might even make it more tricky by the time you finally decide to tackle it. Uplifting colours are tartan and olive. Lucky numbers are 18 and 2.
 
An emotional situation is as clear as mud today. You aren't sure about your feelings for a certain someone, nor are you convinced that you know what they're playing at. They may be saying one thing and doing another, and you might even suspect that they're playing games with you or trying to get what they can out of the relationship. Or maybe you're imagining the whole thing? Admit it - at this stage you simply don't know. Harmonious colours are cherry pink and caramel. Lucky numbers are 35 and 45.
 
It's difficult to keep your mind on what you're doing today because it keeps wandering off in all directions. There won't be much you can do about this except to be aware of it, and preferably to postpone doing anything very complicated or important until you're less distracted and absent-minded. Unfortunately, you won't get very far with it at the moment. Auspicious colours are butterscotch and lime. Lucky numbers are 10 and 31.
 
Someone gets in a bit of a muddle today and it could take some unravelling. For instance, they might get their wires crossed, leading to all sorts of misunderstandings. You might also encounter someone who is trying to rewrite history, perhaps because they can't bear to remember things as they really were. Should you set them straight or leave well alone? Inspirational colours are mauve and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 33 and 57.
 
This is another good day to be tactful, and if anything you'll be even more successful than you were yesterday. This is not to be sneezed at, so seize the opportunity to talk to people who can sometimes be very touchy or who need to be handled with kid gloves. If you meet someone who's older or more influential than you, you'll be a big hit with them. Favourable colours are persimmon and sienna. Lucky numbers are 11 and 34.
 
If you've been neglecting that special someone in your life over the past few days because you've been so busy with the festivities, try to make up for it today. Maybe you could have some time alone with them, or perhaps you simply need to remind them how much you love them. Don't be afraid to open up your heart to them, and to let them do the same to you. Fortunate colours are jade and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 24 and 60.
 
If the past few days have been a blur of cooking, washing up and wrapping paper, take a break today and catch up with loved ones. Have a long talk with one of them so you can find out what they've been doing lately, or discuss a topic that concerns both of you. Right now, you're blessed with plenty of diplomacy so the conversation should go well. Passionate colours are gold and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 2 and 39.
 
The thought of the sales is almost too good to resist today, and you'll jump at the chance to see what's on offer. Even better if you can snap up some bargains at the same time. It's certainly a good day for investing your money carefully, but make sure you aren't more seduced by the reduction in the cost of something than in the item itself. Are you certain that you want to buy it? Fortunate colours are silver and magenta. Lucky numbers are 8 and 68.
 
The prospect of travel really appeals to you today, especially if you don't have any holidays booked for the foreseeable future. So be careful if you're out shopping and you happen to walk past a travel agent's, because almost before you know it you could be sitting in there waving your credit card around and consulting your diary for the best day to take off for the wide blue yonder. Beneficial colours are bright orange and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 40 and 41.
 
Whatever you have to say today, you'll do it with charm and grace. This is just what you need if you've got to have a quiet word in someone's ear without offending them forever or putting your foot in it. You'll be amazed by what you can say now, provided you take things slowly and do your best to consider the other person's feelings. Fortunate colours are apricot and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 26 and 6.
 
This is a marvellous day for having a discreet word in someone's ear. You'll be able to choose your words carefully, making you very tactful and considerate, and as a result you will have a helpful conversation. This is also a good opportunity to talk about topics that are very dear to your heart, or which are usually too private to mention. Beneficial colours are burnt orange and violet. Lucky numbers are 40 and 2.
 
Make contact with any friends you haven't seen recently. You're feeling very sociable and you could be inspired to arrange a get-together so you can catch up on all the latest news. This is also a fantastic day for having a heart-to-heart with a chum, in which you both talk honestly about the way you're feeling or about recent experiences. It will help to bring you closer together. Beneficial colours are smoky quartz and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 50 and 2.
 
You're in a sociable mood and will enjoy catching up with anyone you haven't seen recently. It will be great fun to have a satisfying gossip with them, and they could have some good news for you. Take the time to have a conversation with one of your favourite people because it will help you to understand one another better, and that is always a good thing. Creative colours are silver and gold. Lucky numbers are 37 and 17.
 
You're in the perfect position to put your views across to others today, because you're blessed with diplomacy and consideration for others. If you've been waiting for the right moment to tell a certain person how much they mean to you, speak up now while you're so silver- tongued and eloquent. You could also be on the receiving end of some delicious sweet nothings. Energising colours are turquoise and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 14 and 47.
 
You've got so much charm and diplomacy today that you'll sail through all your encounters with other people. Things will go particularly well if you're at work, and you might even manage to smooth over a tricky moment with a certain person who normally causes a fuss. If you're taking part in a negotiation or interview, you'll be thrilled with your contribution. Delightful colours are pumpkin and burnished gold. Lucky numbers are 37 and 25.
 
All communications go wonderfully well today. You manage to say the right thing to the right person at the right time, and to keep off any topics that have the potential to cause upset or embarrassment. Brilliant! If you're going to a social event you'll be one of the stars of the show and might even carry home the phone number of someone who'd like to see you again. Fortuitous colours are dusky rose and shimmering blue. Lucky numbers are 40 and 24.
 
It's going to be a fabulous day! A loved one is making a massive fuss of you and it's doing wonders for your Leo ego. You might fall in love with your current partner all over again, or a new relationship could get off the ground now in a haze of happiness. If things have been tricky with a certain person recently you're now eager to bury the hatchet and start again. Delightful colours are lapis lazuli and apricot. Lucky numbers are 3 and 54.
 
Diplomacy is your middle name this Monday, so make the most of it while it lasts. It will be just what you need if you've been waiting for the right time to raise a tricky topic with you-know-who, and it will also come in handy if you're caught up in a potentially sensitive conversation with someone and you want to extricate yourself as smoothly as possible. Fortunate colours are dove grey and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 27 and 17.
 
After all the excitement of the past few days you're longing for the chance to put your feet up and take life easy for a while. Ideally, you should bury your nose in a good book and be left alone until you resurface for a food transfusion. But you'll also enjoy chatting to someone you know very well and for whom you don't have to make a big effort, such as a close relative. Prosperous colours are charcoal and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 6 and 16.
 
You'll have a fabulous time if you're longing to see what's on offer in the sales, especially if you want to buy yourself some new clothes or cosmetics. However, you won't pay much attention to how much you're spending, and may even deliberately avoid thinking about it. Do yourself a favour and don't go overboard if you can't afford it. Inspiring colours are peach and navy. Lucky numbers are 20 and 69.
 
Let your imagination take you on a wonderful journey today, whether that means curling up with a good book, losing yourself in an adventure film or exercising your own creative talents. Don't discount any hunches or psychic flashes that come to you because they could be a lot more accurate than you imagine, particularly if they link you with people who live overseas. Insightful colours are sapphire blue and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 37 and 72.
 
Have a think about your health today. How are you shaping up? Are all those mince pies and sausage rolls already taking their toll on your waistline? Is it ages since you last went to the gym? Then this is your chance to start making some improvements. Don't plan anything drastic or unrealistic because you'll soon lose heart. Instead, devise a sensible regime that you can stick to. Fortunate colours are Burnt orange and coffee. Lucky numbers are 9 and 16.
 
You're full of empathy and affection today, so it would be a shame not to spread it around. It's a marvellous day for a low-key get- together with some of the people you haven't seen during the past few days, because you'll enjoy having a good chat about what's been happening. Once your social duties are out of the way you'll love curling up on the sofa with a good book or a favourite film. Ideal colours are mauve and amber. Lucky numbers are 32 and 42.
 
This is the perfect day to surround yourself with kindred spirits and lap up the relaxing atmosphere. So if you haven't been able to see certain friends over the festive season, why not arrange to get together with them today. You'll also enjoy making contact with people who live a long way away, so give them a ring to let them know you're thinking about them. Favourable colours are lemon and white. Lucky numbers are 32 and 71.
 
You're blessed with huge dollops of discretion and diplomacy today, which will come in very handy when you have to choose your words carefully with a certain person. At some point you could find yourself on the receiving end of someone's deepest, darkest secrets, in which case you'll have to treat these with respect and promise to keep them to yourself. Stabilising colours are avocado and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 34 and 44.
 
Romance is never far away today and it will fill you with joy. If you've been hoping to kiss a certain person under the mistletoe but have despaired that it would ever happen, your wish could come true now. If you fancy trying your luck in the sales you'll find some great bargains, but try not to get carried away and bring home the whole shop. Romantic colours are champagne and jade. Lucky numbers are 34 and 15.
 
If you haven't seen certain people during the past few days, how about inviting them over for a drink or a meal? You're feeling sociable and will enjoy doing some light entertaining although you'll draw the line at anything too strenuous. It's a lovely day for being in familiar surroundings with some familiar faces, even if all you do is flop on the sofa. Energising colours are charcoal and tan. Lucky numbers are 26 and 18.
 
Make a big effort to spend time with people you didn't see on Christmas Day, especially if they're older than you or are having a bad time at the moment. You're brimming over with compassion and empathy, which will be really appreciated by anyone who's on the receiving end of them. You're also in the mood to make allowances for people, and that will help enormously. Advantageous colours are purple and champagne. Lucky numbers are 34 and 50.
 
Today's Full Moon will cause some friction between you and other people during the coming fortnight. Matters that have been bubbling away in the background will come to the boil, forcing you to do something about them. Try not to overreact, nor to create a crisis out of something that's really very minor. You should also keep a strong sense of fair play. Ideal colours are burgundy and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 37 and 3.
 
It's important that you leave yourself plenty of room to manoeuvre during the coming fortnight, especially when it comes to making decisions and airing your opinions. You need to be as flexible as possible right now, otherwise you could find that you've boxed yourself into a corner and have to do some serious back-tracking. You need to consider all points of view and not just your own. Favourable colours are sunflower yellow and avocado. Lucky numbers are 11 and 24.
 
Today's Full Moon carries a rather unseasonal message because it's telling you to pay attention to your finances over the next two weeks. If you already know that you've overspent this month, you won't need to be told that a few economies are just around the corner. You may also have to make some adjustments to an intimate relationship so it can move into another phase. Favourable colours are olive and bronze. Lucky numbers are 14 and 51.
 
Today's Full Moon will raise questions in your mind about a loved one during the next two weeks. You might wonder what they're playing at and have to ask them to be straight with you, or you could work hard at overcoming the current problems between you so you're able to enter a much more positive phase in your relationship. Fortunate colours are lime and tan. Lucky numbers are 31 and 11.
 
If you're still happily munching chocolates and all sorts of other goodies, you'll have to take yourself in hand at some point during the coming fortnight. Maybe you'll have to compensate for all the festive over-eating by taking more exercise or cutting back on the calories, or perhaps you'll decide that you can't delay giving up smoking any longer. Good luck! Auspicious colours are bronze and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 7 and 21.
 
Today's Full Moon is offering you the chance to make sweeping and long-lasting changes to your life, and to clear the ground for some fertile growth in 2005. As a Cancerian you don't like endings, but you must now bring an end to any situation or relationship that is holding you back or has passed its sell-by date. Look forward, not back, if you want a glittering future. Positive colours are ochre and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 20 and 28.
 
Believe it or not, 2005 is almost round the corner. Today's Full Moon is telling you to get out your list of New Year resolutions and give it a good scrutiny. And if you haven't yet put pen to paper, start thinking about what you want to achieve next year. If that means admitting defeat in some projects that you tried and failed to launch this year, then so be it. Onwards and upwards! Beneficial colours are burnt orange and bright blue. Lucky numbers are 18 and 45.
 
Today's Full Moon has arrived at just the right time, because it's telling you to consider the validity of your long-term aims and aspirations. If they stand about as much chance of seeing the light of day as you do of winning the Lottery, then you need to streamline them or even abandon them and start again. So think about what you want from life and how you're going to get it. Fortunat colours are pearl white and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 6 and 40.
 
In recent weeks you've been quite concerned about a loved one, and things are likely to come to a head during the next two weeks. You may be able to solve the problem simply, which will be a relief all round, but there's a chance that you may have to do some serious thinking or get some expert advice before you know exactly what your next step should be. Ideal colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 57.
 
Something that you've always taken for granted or believed implicitly could have a big question mark hanging over it during the next two weeks. The more entrenched your views are about this, the more difficult it will be to accept that perhaps it's time for a change of opinion or, at the very least, a reevaluation of what you think. So do your best to be open-minded now. Beneficial colours are pumpkin and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 26 and 46.
 
Despite the festivities, something is nagging away at the back of your mind and you won't feel happy until you've done something about it. Do your best to tackle it over the next two weeks while it will benefit from the influence of today's Full Moon. You know that you can't carry on like this for much longer, even if all you can do is change your attitude to whatever is worrying you. Soaring colours are persimmon and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 6 and 24.
 
Today's Full Moon will affect your finances over the next two weeks, which isn't a very seasonal thought if you're already well aware that you've overspent this month. Be prepared to do some juggling or to seek expert advice if you're worried about how you're going to cope. It will also be a good opportunity to re-evaluate some of your values in life. Favourable colours are amethyst and opal. Lucky numbers are 26 and 34.
 
It looks like being a great day, with everyone doing their best to be great company. You're at your electrifying best, which is saying something, and your presence will definitely add to any gathering you attend. You might even manage to fit in some light-hearted flirting if you're really lucky. It's going to be a Christmas to remember. Harmonious colours are jade and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 12 and 13.
 
All that hard work you've been putting in over recent weeks will pay off wonderfully, as you'll discover from all the appreciative comments that come your way. To make things even more special, it looks as though you'll be unwrapping a surprise gift that's exactly what you wanted and which you'll treasure for a long time to come. Aah! Beneficial colours are avocado and bright orange. Lucky numbers are 29 and 53.
 
It looks like being a terrific day, full of enjoyment and excitement. Everything will go really well, although there will be one or two surprises to keep you on your toes. But don't worry, because they won't be anything you can't cope with and they may even add some entertainment and variety to the day. Fabulous colours are passionfruit and mango. Lucky numbers are 18 and 24.
 
You receive a massive injection of energy and vitality from today, making you very dynamic in the weeks ahead. And it's just what you need to make it a terrific day. Ideally, you should introduce a little excitement into the proceedings, such as an unexpected treat. Or maybe someone will do this for you? Prosperous colours are dark red and holly green. Lucky numbers are 1 and 5.
 
You're looking and feeling good, and you want to make the day as wonderful as possible for everyone. Well, you'd better be prepared for some unforeseen eventualities, such as someone dropping in out of the blue or the arrival of an unexpected gift. Let's hope you've got some emergency presents stowed under the tree! Ideal colours are tangerine and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 7 and 70.
 
It's going to be a really enjoyable day, especially if you're getting together with loved ones. You'll want the day to be a big success and you'll do what you can to make that happen. Ideally, you should combine some much-loved traditions with a few surprises, and also allow for plenty of spontaneity. Opportunistic colours are treacle and black. Lucky numbers are 8 and 50.
 
There's little doubt about who's the life and soul of the party today, because it's you! You're in a really good mood and you're keen to make sure that everyone has a wonderful day. It looks as though things won't go entirely according to plan, but you'll manage to take all the unexpected developments in your stride and even to turn them to your advantage. Dynamic colours are peacock blue and magenta. Lucky numbers are 13 and 52.
 
So much love and effort. You want the day to be a big success, and it's going to be that way. You'll be very popular if you can bring some spontaneity to the day, such as springing an exciting surprise on everyone or swapping a tired old tradition for something much more interesting. You might also have an unexpected visitor at some point. Beautiful colours are brilliant blue and brilliant gold. Lucky numbers are 17 and 30.
 
You're in exuberant spirits today, and determined to have as good a time as humanly possible. What's more, you'll want everyone else to enjoy themselves as well and will pull out as many stops as necessary to ensure that this happens. The wine will flow, the food will continue to arrive and you'll be the life and soul of the party. Dynamic colours are bright red and jet black. Lucky numbers are 38 and 60.
 
Despite the frazzled nature of the past few days, it looks like being a fabulous Christmas Day. You're all doing your best to sparkle and entertain, with one person being the star of the show. To put the icing on the cake, you might get a surprise phone call from someone who lives a long way away and who you weren't expecting to hear from. Ideal colours are fuschia and jet black. Lucky numbers are 24 and 40.
 
You're keen to make it a memorable day and you'll do your best to make it go with a swing. You're in a lively, excited mood and are really good company. You're also keen to ring the changes a bit and will want to bring some of your Christmas traditions up to date without spoiling things for everyone else. What do you have in mind? Vibrant colours are burnt orange and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 21 and 47.
 
You've got a taste for adventure today, so you might decide to depart from tradition in some way and make it an unusual Christmas. You're certainly all set for a great time, and you'll want everyone else to enjoy themselves as much as possible. You'll probably eat and drink too much but, hey, it's Christmas! Isn't such excess par for the course? Inspirational colours are fuschia and banana. Lucky numbers are 20 and 65.
 
Once again, your nerves are getting the better of you. There will be some fraught moments unless you can control your temper and not get drawn into verbal fisticuffs at the drop of a paper hat. It won't help if a partner is feeling neglected as that will give you something else to worry about. You need to relax and start enjoying yourself! Energising colours are white and caramel. Lucky numbers are 15 and 68.
 
It's a busy day and you've got quite enough to do without having to cope with people clamouring for your attention and likely to go into a huff if they don't get it. Is this person feeling neglected because you're busily occupied elsewhere or are there other reasons for their demanding mood? Simply giving them a big hug could make all the difference to their behaviour. Stable colours are violet and black. Lucky numbers are 19 and 75.
 
Keep calm! Your emotions are becoming increasingly heightened and intense today. As a result, you're likely to take things much more seriously than usual. That's wonderful if you're involved in a hot and heavy encounter with Mr or Ms Right, but it won't be such good news if you go overboard about silly trifles. If you're doing some last-minute shopping you'll want to be as extravagant as your budget allows. Or is it a case of Budget? What budget? Romantic colours are irridescent pink and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 1 and 57.
 
If you're feeling brave enough, you should get out all your receipts`, and then tot up how much you've spent this month. Or don't you have the courage to do so? It will be far better to know the truth than to pretend that everything's all right. But don't let it spoil what promises to be a delightfully enjoyable and rather emotional day. Favourable colours are ginger and marzipan. Lucky numbers are 19 and 13.
 
Christmas Eve finds you happy and eager to get the most out of the day. You're in a rather sentimental mood, so if you've got time you'll relish the chance to watch a favourite film, especially if it means you've got to get out the hankies. A friend's kindness or sensitivity will delight you - and make you wonder how you can reciprocate. Propitious colours are jade and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 31 and 49.
 
Perhaps it's the fact that it's Christmas Eve and everyone is busy, but you can't help feeling that you're walking on eggshells around certain people. Their emotions are very close to the surface and could erupt at a moment's notice, perhaps in a storm of tears or a fit of pique. Calm them down and ask if you can do anything to help. Inspiring colours are sage green and copper. Lucky numbers are 14 and 37.
 
Take things gently otherwise you'll end up running round in ever-decreasing circles. Yes, you may still have a lot to do but you won't achieve very much if you develop butterfingers or waste all your energy on a full-blown panic. Maybe you could rope someone into helping you, rather than doing your Cinderella act in the kitchen while everyone else takes it easy? Advantageous colours are turquoise and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 39 and 39.
 
Take things slowly and all will be well. However, you must resist a tendency to be perfectionist over things that don't really matter, otherwise you'll never finish the chores. If you're busy with Christmas preparations, you'll have to control a nagging feeling that you've got to compete with the way other people have done things in the past. Auspicious colours are mustard yellow and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 34 and 3.
 
Keep calm and all will be well. You're feeling slightly fraught because there are so many demands on your time, and it won't help if you're trying to juggle some last-minute chores with some fun-filled social events. Get others to lend you a hand, or tell yourself that perfection is not an option right now and that you'll have to scale down your preparations accordingly. Favourable colours are pistachio and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 36 and 26.
 
You're struggling to get everything finished in time today, making you feel fractious and tired. At some point you may have to take a pragmatic decision about which tasks must be completed today and which will have to be postponed until another day. Do your best to keep things in proportion otherwise you'll waste time in trivial details and needless nit-picking. Ideal colours are maroon and lemon. Lucky numbers are 21 and 2.
 
Although you're busy putting the finishing touches to your Christmas preparations, you'll also have to pay attention to someone who's feeling neglected or unloved. Luckily, it won't take much to make this person feel better, so a big hug or a little consideration might do the trick. You should also bear in mind that they may be feeling nostalgic or sad about the past. Beneficial colours are silvery pink and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 2 and 47.
 
It's Christmas Eve and you're running around like a scalded cat. However, it will do you no end of good if you can find a few moments here and there for some quiet contemplation. You might want to visit a place that's sacred to you, or take a walk in some beautiful surroundings so you can commune with nature. You need to feel that you're connecting with something bigger than yourself. Favourable colours are bright red and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 1 and 68.
 
You're in a very erratic mood today, making you feel restless, edgy and nervy. It may be almost impossible to settle to anything for long because you soon lose interest. If life becomes boring you'll want to liven it up in some way and it's highly likely that you'll choose the most disruptive and controversial option you can think of, even though you know this will cause trouble. Soothing colours are apricot and cream. Lucky numbers are 30 and 44.
 
Slow down! You're trying to do too much and it's driving you - and everyone else - up the wall. What's more, if you're in too much of a hurry you'll start to become accident-prone and that will make you even more het up. Try to take any setbacks or domestic mishaps in your stride, otherwise you'll end the day feeling like a nervous wreck. Beneficial colours are passionfruit and peach. Lucky numbers are 31 and 41.
 
The atmosphere is highly combustible today, with people getting in a stew over the smallest little thing. You will also have a tendency to get hot under the collar, especially if someone isn't doing things as quickly as you'd like. Try to stop yourself getting in a rage because once that happens it will be difficult to cool down again. Maybe you need some fresh air? Auspicious colours are mahogany and parchment. Lucky numbers are 29 and 46.
 
Someone is shooting from the hip today, making them irascible and all too liable to fly off the handle. Be very wary about provoking them into further outbursts, particularly where the vexed topics of money and sex are concerned. If you're trying to sort out a financial problem you will also be prone to losing your rag and banging your fist on the table. But will that help? Soothing colours are teal blue and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 20 and 38.
 
There's every chance that you'll become embroiled in some sort of bad-tempered skirmish at least once today, and it might be more than that if you aren't careful. The reason is that everyone seems to be feeling ratty and argumentative, and once you allow the first spat to take place you'll effectively have declared open season. What are you so worked up about? Empowering colours are dark gold and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 38 and 78.
 
Words are flying around in all directions today, and the conversations will be fast and furious. You might face a lot of distractions and interruptions, or you could get caught up in some rather irritable slanging matches with a certain person. The busier you are, the more fraught you'll become and the more likely to go off the deep end. Stable colours are teal blue and caramel. Lucky numbers are 29 and 76.
 
Someone is in a very boisterous mood today, and you may want to make yourself scarce after a short spell in their company. Their idea of a joke may be your idea of extreme rudeness, or they could take pleasure in being argumentative just for the sake of it. Don't let this person wind you up or you'll go off pop through sheer tension. Favourable colours are grapefruit and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 19 and 67.
 
Be careful how you handle a certain someone today because their mood is little short of incendiary. They'll jump down your throat if you dare to disagree with them, and then accuse you of being a wimp if you decide that it would be better to agree with everything they say. You can't win! If they really get on your wick, you'll have to give them a piece of your mind, even if it is supposed to be the season of goodwill to all men. Huh! Beneficial colours are sage green and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 19 and 51.
 
If you have children at home they'll be really playful today and quite a handful at times. Encourage them to burn off all their energy during the day otherwise it will be a case of tears before bedtime. There could also be a fractious atmosphere between you and a loved one, and this will quickly escalate into a row if you aren't careful. Calming colours are sky blue and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 24 and 65.
 
Someone isn't mucking about today, and if they're annoyed about something they'll come right out with it. This means you could be on the receiving end of some zingers, but equally it means that you'll be giving as good as you get. Now, although it will be very tempting to let off steam by giving someone an earful, aren't there better directions in which to channel your energy? Inspiring colours are aqua and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 33 and 20.
 
Someone is being bombastic and overbearing, and you don't like it. You aren't prepared to take their behaviour lying down, but standing up to them is likely to result in a rip-roaring row. Well, it seems that the row is almost inevitable, and perhaps that's just as well because it won't do you any good to swallow your anger or tolerate this person's boorishness for much longer. Ideal colours are aqua and apricot. Lucky numbers are 13 and 72.
 
Get out your list of things to do, because you're in a very industrious and efficient mood. Start with whatever is most urgent and then carry on from there. If you seem to be doing all the work while loved ones laze around watching TV, you'll soon chivvy them along and get them to lend a hand. After all, you don't want to feel like Cinderella! Ideal colours are copper and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 2 and 14.
 
Be careful about what you eat and drink today. Your body is in a very sensitive state, so you'd be well advised to steer clear of anything that might upset you or to which you're sometimes allergic. You should also try to avoid anyone who's a one-man germ factory, in case they generously pass on a few bugs to you. Right now, you could do without such things. Ideal colours are spring green and silver. Lucky numbers are 19 and 6.
 
It will be easy to let things get on top of you today, especially if you're already feeling rather tired and listless. Do yourself a favour and keep away from anyone who often makes you feel a bit fed up or defensive, because they're the last person you want to be around at the moment. They'll make your spirits sink down to your ankles in a flash, and who needs that? Stablising colours are scarlet and beige. Lucky numbers are 11 and 17.
 
If you're currently keeping something secret it will really start to prey on your mind today and you'll worry about blurting it out at the wrong moment. It's one of those days in which you're absent-minded and completely wrapped up in your own thoughts. As a result, it will be hard to concentrate on anything else and this won't go down well in certain quarters. Beneficial colours are avocado and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 14 and 61.
 
Financial muddles are more than likely today so be careful if you're going shopping. You might be accidentally short-changed or there could be a misunderstanding about how much something costs. This isn't a good day to lend friends anything valuable in case they don't return it or they damage it in some way. Better safe than sorry. Fortunate colours are ultramarine and black. Lucky numbers are 32 and 47.
 
You're lacking in energy and resources today, which will soon slow you down and make you feel as though you're wading through treacle. The only way to cope is to have as many breaks as possible, and not to set yourself impossible goals that you could never hope to meet. You're also very susceptible to the criticisms or put-downs of others, but do your best to ignore them. Propitious colours are bright gold and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 29 and 24.
 
If you're busy with a last-minute Christmas shopping trip it will be easy to lose track of how much you're spending, particularly if you're in a panic and desperate to tick off every name on your list. However, you might be in for a nasty shock later on when you tot up the massive amount of money that you parted with. So try to keep a running total in your head or stick to a strict budget for each gift. Indulgent colours are rose pink and dark red. Lucky numbers are 17 and 31.
 
Unfortunately it won't take much to get you in a muddle today, especially if you're trying to keep track of your Christmas preparations and work out what still needs to be done. It won't help that a member of the family has their head in the clouds or is being completely fanciful about something, because their behaviour will make you feel anxious and possibly even rather depressed. Stabilising colours are amber and ivory. Lucky numbers are 33 and 78.
 
If you ask someone to give you a hand today, don't be surprised if they make a mess of it. That's probably because their mind isn't on the job, but it might also be because your instructions aren't as clear as usual. So before you get angry, check that what you said made sense. Relations with someone older or more influential than you could also be blighted by confusion or doubt now. Favourable colours are pale green and russet. Lucky numbers are 29 and 35.
 
Take things gently today Libra, because mistakes and misunderstandings are rife. It will be especially easy to get the wrong end of the stick with a loved one or to get in a muddle over a financial matter. If you're out shopping, you should check your change carefully or make sure you've been charged the right amount for whatever you're buying. Expansive colours are pistachio and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 29 and 52.
 
Time is hurtling towards Christmas Day and it seems that you're in a panic about how you're going to get everything done in time. You may even have reached the stage where you've ground to a halt because you don't know what to do first. So take a deep breath, calm down and do things one at a time. Otherwise you'll end up feeling confused, tired and tearful. Beneficial colours are cinnamon and charcoal. Lucky numbers are 1 and 39.
 
Be careful that you don't end up doing someone's work for them today. They might try all sorts of little tricks to persuade you to take pity on them, from pretending to be ill to making such a hash of everything that you can't bear to watch them struggling on for a moment longer. You are likely to be asked to put in some overtime at the sacrifice of your social life. Ideal colours are silver and ochre. Lucky numbers are 39 and 52.
 
You're swayed by your emotions today, making you highly susceptible to other people's machinations. For instance, you might be putty in the hands of your beloved, willing to do whatever they want simply to keep them happy. Or you could be strongly influenced by someone's dour mood, so that you soon start to feel as wretched as they do. Luckily, this strange mood won't last long. Communicative colours are brilliant white and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 2 and 37.
 
Enjoyment is your number one priority today, especially if that means getting together with some of your favourite people. You'll have a glorious time! Maybe you could meet up with someone special for a pre- Christmas celebration, or perhaps you're getting ready for a big party and already have high hopes about how it will turn out. Sociable colours are bright pink and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 26 and 52.
 
From today you'll enjoy being involved in local events and neighbourhood activities. These will help you to keep in touch with what's going on around you and also offer you the chance to meet some new faces. This is an especially good idea if you've recently moved to a new area and you don't yet know many people. Well, carry on like this and you soon will! Harmonious colours are blackberry and cream. Lucky numbers are 10 and 41.
 
You've been quite a gadabout in recent weeks, but you start to yearn for the comforts of home from today. You might even be tempted to cancel some forthcoming social events so you can flop on your sofa instead and catch your breath. Sentimental thoughts could also steal over you in the next few weeks, making you think about some of the people you used to know and love. Receptive colours are charcoal grey and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 38 and 26.
 
Your self-confidence rises by several notches from today, making you feel much more positive and resilient than you've been recently. This happy state of affairs will continue for the next four weeks, and it will be a marvellous opportunity for you to get new projects off the ground and take the initiative whenever possible. You should also start to write down your New Year resolutions. Favourable colours are grape and lilac. Lucky numbers are 8 and 32.
 
If you're a typical Taurean you value both your emotional and physical security, and often tend to restrict your actions accordingly. But during the coming month you'll want to spread your wings more widely than usual, whether you do this through mental or physical pursuits. It will do you good to be more adventurous for a change, and to embrace life in all its aspects. Auspicious colours are sivery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 12 and 44.
 
Love, laughter and entertainment are high on your agenda during the next four weeks, so try to get as much of them as possible. This will also be a fantastic chance to be your true self, without worrying that other people won't like you as a consequence. One major element of this will be to express some of your creative talents, so don't be modest about them. Fortunate colours are plum and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 4 and 64.
 
Although you're still feeling highly sociable and outgoing, from today you'll start to crave a little time to yourself every now and then. You'll want to temper your busy social life with some precious moments of solitude, and if this can't happen you'll feel you're missing out on something important and life-enhancing. It will certainly allow you to recharge your batteries. Ideal colours are emerald green and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 36 and 14.
 
Although the emphasis on laughter and leisure will continue during the rest of the month, from today you'll also have to pay attention to your working life. You might have to put in some extra hours in order to meet a deadline or you could soon be given new responsibilities. If you're fed up with your current job, start considering your options. Ideal colours are lavender and plum. Lucky numbers are 35 and 68.
 
The next four weeks are going to be really interesting and enjoyable, because the accent will be on your relationships. You might have a wonderful encounter with someone special, and there's even a chance that you could embark on a new partnership. This is certainly a time for teamwork rather than going it alone, even if it's only a temporary measure. Opportunistic colours are russet and chocolate. Lucky numbers are 21 and 28.
 
Friendships are in the spotlight from today and they'll continue to light up your life for the next four weeks. This will be a marvellous opportunity to get together with chums that you haven't seen lately, so how about arranging a big party if you haven't got anything planned? This will also be your cue to focus on your hopes and wishes for the future. Ideal colours are sable and silver. Lucky numbers are 4 and 10.
 
Although you've probably already mentally started the Christmas holidays, the coming four weeks will be a fantastic time to push ahead with your career and long-term plans. So start thinking carefully about what you want to achieve in 2005 and, if possible, work out a schedule. You should also begin to write down your New Year resolutions and promise yourself that you'll stick to them. Beneficial colours are dark purple and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 11 and 32.
 
Close relationships sometimes cause problems for you because the level of intimacy involved makes you feel uncomfortable. Yet this is precisely what you should concentrate on during the next four weeks, so do your best to let down your guard with partners and to reveal your true self, warts and all. Allow them to do the same in return. Vibrant colours are cornflower blue and crimson. Lucky numbers are 26 and 25.
 
You've faced some difficult times this month, with crossed wires and misunderstandings, but things start to sort themselves out from today. Even so, you may have to help the process along by apologizing or backtracking, so don't be too proud to admit it if you were in the wrong. Once all that's out of the way, you can start to relax again. What a relief that will be! Advantageous colours are violet and russet. Lucky numbers are 25 and 52.
 
Some of your relationships have run into problems this month, caused by breakdowns in communication and a lack of empathy, but peace breaks out again from today. Don't be too proud to say sorry when necessary, nor to accept someone else's apology for recent transgressions. Once you've got all that out of the way, you can concentrate on making up for lost time with them! Stabilising colours are ivory and fawn. Lucky numbers are 39 and 28.
 
This is an excellent day for reaching decisions, especially if they're connected with a child's education, a neighbourhood problem or a close relative. However, you should only make up your mind if you're absolutely certain that you've made the right choice. If you can spare the time, have a quick dash round the shops for last-minute gifts or emergency supplies. Beneficial colours are jet black and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 11 and 46.
 
As you've no doubt noticed, communications with partners haven't always been easy this December but they should start to straighten themselves out from today. As this is the season of goodwill to all men, you might want to smooth over any rough edges in your relationships by discussing what's gone wrong and working together to find sensible solutions. Favourable colours are brilliant white and magenta. Lucky numbers are 13 and 43.
 
Communications with officialdom haven't always been easy this December but thank goodness they get back on track from today. This gives you just enough time to sort out any lingering problems before the Christmas holidays begin in earnest. If you're being pushed to sign a document or agreement, make sure you read the small print carefully first. You don't want to be caught out! Fortunate colours are copper and ivory. Lucky numbers are 35 and 44.
 
Communications start to return to normal from today, so there's less likelihood of things going wrong. However, you may have to do some troubleshooting in order to get everything back on track. If you wrote to someone and are surprised that they haven't replied, check that they got your missive in the first place. You may find that it got lost in transit. Fortunate colours are nutmeg and aqua. Lucky numbers are 18 and 19.
 
At long last your communications start to return to normal, and some of the snags you've been dealing with melt away as if by magic. There could also be some good news about a travel arrangement or you might hear from someone who lives abroad and has been out of contact lately. As if all that weren't enough, there could be some interesting developments about a current opportunity. Opportune colours are lilac and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 13 and 29.
 
There have been times this month when it's been difficult to discuss financial matters because they've been fraught with complications and confusion, but thankfully things return to a more even keel from today. That means you can't waste a second if you're trying to make amends for any problems such as cheques or payments going missing. Sort them out as soon as possible. Opportune colours are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 21 and 69.
 
There have been times this month when communications have gone haywire but at long last they start to return to normal today. And not before time, especially if you've got to unravel some problems before the Christmas holidays begin. It's a terrific day for reaching decisions about your work or health, provided you're prepared to stick with them. Communicative colours are passionfruit and lavender. Lucky numbers are 32 and 70.
 
Communications start to return to normal from today, which is a relief if you were getting fed up with the way conversations were being scrambled and skeletons were falling out of closets. Try to devote as much time as possible now to putting the finishing touches to your Christmas preparations, and checking that you've bought all the presents on your list. It's a good idea to have some emergency gifts standing by, in case you need them. Opportunistic colours are ivory and sapphire blue. Lucky numbers are 30 and 52.
 
You've faced some communication glitches this month but they start to sort themselves out from today, thank goodness. Even so, you may have to help things along, perhaps by talking about what's gone wrong. If you suspect that an official letter has gone astray, you should take the initiative and find out what's happened to it. Fortunate colours are russet and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 18 and 30.
 
So far this December you've had to negotiate your way through the occasional misunderstanding with loved ones, but things return to normal today. Jump at the chance to pour oil on any troubled waters that remain, or make some other peace-offering if you think it's necessary. If you've been wondering what to do about a loved one, you'll come up with the answer now. Harmonious colours are turquoise and peach. Lucky numbers are 13 and 37.
 
Keep your cool if plans start to go awry today, or people change their minds about things at the eleventh hour. Irritating though this will be, there's not much you can do about it except take it on the chin and go with the flow. You might also be pushed to the limit by someone who takes what you think consider to be a juvenile delight in making shocking or outrageous comments. Divine colours are claret and smoky uartz. Lucky numbers are 6 and 22.
 
This is turning out to be quite a weekend. Today, there are ructions over someone's demands for freedom and their determination to go their own sweet way even if it upsets everyone around them. The more threatened you feel by their antics, the stronger and more instinctive your reaction will be. This will up the ante by several notches, so try to keep cool, calm and collected. Adventurous colours are bright red and plum. Lucky numbers are 35 and 31.
 
You love you-know-who, but a little of them goes a long way today. They're being pig-headed and obstinate, and they're also convinced that their opinion is the only one that counts. Of course, you've got something to say about that, and probably at the top of your voice, too. If you both carry on like this you'll soon reach an ill-tempered stalemate, so try to be more flexible. Prosperous colours are deep gold and raspberry. Lucky numbers are 20 and 32.
 
Today you're capable of controlling your energy so you only expend as much as you need at any given time. This will help you to keep going all day long, without running out of steam. This is great news if you've got a lot to do. You'll be especially effective if you're busy around your home, perhaps making some final Christmas preparations or finishing off the decorating. Energising colours are spring green and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 17 and 8.
 
A significant person in your life is a law unto themselves today, and it's driving you crazy! They may withdraw from you in some way or hint that they need more freedom in your relationship. However, clinging on to this person is not the answer right now. You're powerfully attracted to someone who's off limits or bad news, yet it seems you can't help yourself. Empowering colours are blueberry and pale green. Lucky numbers are 8 and 77.
 
You're in a much more balanced mood today, and feeling better about the world. If you're busy getting ready for the forthcoming celebrations, you'll have a good idea of how much effort is needed. It's a lovely day for being sociable, because you'll be able to hold your own even if you're with a group of strangers. Fortunate colours are mother of pearl and magenta. Lucky numbers are 9 and 44.
 
Thank goodness the atmosphere is starting to cool down and you're in a better frame of mind! That's just as well because you're capable of achieving a tremendous amount today, especially if you can pace yourself and make the best use of your considerable energy. It's a really good day for creative activities and these will help to blow away the cobwebs from yesterday. Beneficial colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 20 and 69.
 
You're usually pretty easy-going but your levels of tolerance have dropped dramatically today, leaving you chafing at the merest suggestion of restrictions or emotional pressure. It will be far better to let off steam before you feel as though you're about to blow your top, because that will prevent you doing or saying things that will really put the cat among the pigeons. Positive colours are taupe and avocado. Lucky numbers are 18 and 61.
 
You're in a dynamic mood and you want to get things done immediately. The best way to ensure that this happens is to plan your time in advance and to make short shrift of anyone who wants to hold you up or distract you. However, don't step on anyone's toes or make them feel uncomfortable, because that's neither necessary nor advisable now. Fortunate colours are lilac and spring green. Lucky numbers are 6 and 75.
 
A loved one is very hard to handle today because they're acting on whims and allowing their erratic emotions to get the better of them. If you don't know anyone who fits this description, maybe that's because you're the one who's causing such chaos. There could be a big argument about one person's desire to follow tradition and another one's need to break out of what they see as a rut. Favourable colours are teal blue and platinum. Lucky numbers are 8 and 69.
 
This is a really great day because you've got loads of energy that you won't let go to waste. You'll manage to plan things very carefully so you don't take on projects that you can't finish, nor will you waste any of your valuable time. This is a super day to put up some festive decorations if you haven't already done so, and you'll be delighted with the end results. Prosperous colours are turquoise and shimmering yellow. Lucky numbers are 9 and 12.
 
Relationships are hard work this Sunday, thanks to certain people who are playing by their own rules and doing whatever they want, regardless of your feelings. You may also have to cope with a partner who needs more freedom than you're prepared to give them or who is finding other ways to wind you up. The more you react, the more you'll encourage them to be awkward. Fortunate colours are ultramarine and coffee. Lucky numbers are 35 and 49.
 
If you thought yesterday was fraught with tension the temperature rises a few notches again today. What's eating you? Maybe you're annoyed because your spare time is being eroded by duties that are weighing heavily on your shoulders. You might also be miffed by the flippant attitude of a certain person who you think should be taking life a lot more seriously. Calm down or you'll blow a gasket. Harmonious colours are azure and coffee. Lucky numbers are 27 and 49.
 
This is another day when financial matters cause trouble. What started off as a minor niggle yesterday could now escalate into a full- blown row, but at least this will give you the chance to get certain things out into the open. If you're pointing the finger of blame at someone, don't get so heated that you accuse them of everything under the sun. Soothing colours are peach and plum. Lucky numbers are 2 and 21.
 
Grit your teeth because it's a tricky day where things annoyingly don't go to plan. For a start, it seems that certain people are going out of their way to be difficult. Maybe an older relative is throwing their weight around and telling you what to do, making you long to tell them to take a running jump. The greater the gap between your ages or social status, the more irritated you'll be. Emotional colours are spearmint and purple. Lucky numbers are 15 and 51.
 
It's another day when tensions are rife and you feel stretched to breaking point. You might even totally lose your temper with someone, instead of merely snapping at them as you did yesterday. It will certainly be better to clear the air now with a row, and then to forget all about it, than to allow bad feelings to accumulate and start to fester inside you. Ideal colours are tartan and grape. Lucky numbers are 29 and 66.
 
It's another day when emotional tension makes you feel as though you're walking on eggshells. However, it seems that the temperature has risen by several notches, making the situation more fraught than it was yesterday. It will be better to clear the air quickly and cleanly than to sulk and brood in ways that simply prolong the agony. Stable colours are spearmint and gold. Lucky numbers are 22 and 12.
 
Unfortunately, this looks like being another difficult day, and once again certain people are quick to take offence or raise their voices. Make sure you aren't adding to the tension by doing or saying something that's provocative or even downright insulting. If you get involved in a shouting match it will be difficult to stop and you could say some nasty things in the heat of the moment. Beneficial colours are terracotta and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 19 and 26.
 
There's a lot of tension in the air, with certain people poised to spit the dummy, or major confrontations are likely. If these are nothing to do with you and you just happen to be directly in the firing line, your best bet is to make yourself scarce. But if you are responsible for their outraged feelings then you need to face the music, otherwise things will only get worse. Auspicious colours are silver and maroon. Lucky numbers are 9 and 73.
 
Once again, the domestic atmosphere isn't exactly peaceful. Someone is still all worked up, and you may have come out in sympathy by now. Try to discuss things with as much objectivity as you can muster, otherwise the conversation will soon disintegrate into a bad-tempered spat or a slanging match in which you try to catch one another out. Even so, it's important to clear the air. Prosperous colours are purple and silver. Lucky numbers are 5 and 61.
 
There are problems concerning money today, especially if someone thinks they aren't getting their fair share of it. For instance, a child might get upset because they're worried about not getting the Christmas present they really want, or a loved one may be feeling unloved and neglected. Sort things out quickly, before they become even more fraught. Advantageous colours are lemon and charcoal grey. Lucky numbers are 40 and 52.
 
If you-know-who has been getting on your nerves recently, matters will soon come to a head and force you to take drastic action. You might finally lose your rag with someone who's been testing your patience to the limit, or have to stand your ground if you feel you're being messed about in some way. Clear the air if needs be but don't create a really nasty atmosphere by throwing an eye-popping tantrum. Fortunate colours are cinnamon and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 26 and 22.
 
You're feeling edgy, and it won't be long before people start to get on your nerves. You might get very irritated by someone's funny little habits, yet feel you daren't say anything in case you go overboard. Or you could get very annoyed when someone blurts out something that was supposed to be a secret but which quickly becomes common knowledge. Beneficial colours are hazelnut and antique gold. Lucky numbers are 26 and 14.
 
If you were unable to resolve yesterday's difficulties they'll be even more pronounced today. It's important that you get everything out in the open so you can discuss it, otherwise you run the risk of harbouring resentments and grudges that will emerge further down the line. Be prepared to hear some home truths and also to deliver a few of your own. But be fair! Beneficial colours are amethyst and ruby red. Lucky numbers are 26 and 43.
 
A loved one is being rather tetchy today. It won't take much to get on their nerves, even if you think they're being grossly unfair about it. Try not to make the situation worse by being sarcastic or provocative. Instead, encourage them to tell you what's wrong but without raising their voice. Once you know what you've done to irritate them you can start to put it right. Favourable colours are pistachio and navy. Lucky numbers are 20 and 48.
 
Someone is being very pedantic and picky, and they'll soon drive you round the bend with frustration. They're splitting hairs about all sorts of petty problems, but unfortunately you won't be immune from this yourself. You might get caught up in needless details that don't really matter, or take everything that happens very personally. Try to be more objective. Beneficial colours are russet and lime. Lucky numbers are 7 and 26.
 
A loved one gets hold of the wrong end of the stick today, causing endless hassle and fuss. They're likely to get upset in the process, so you have to calm them down, and that could lead to a squabble. You may also have to cope with discord when discussing family matters, with certain people getting bogged down in daft details that you think have nothing to do with the main issue. Powerful colours are coffee and magenta. Lucky numbers are 20 and 17.
 
A loved one is extremely upset today, and you'll soon know all about it. Things are out of proportion, so a minor hitch becomes a huge drama that means you've got to drop everything in order to calm them down. Hey ho. At least it won't last long. If you're doing some last- minute Christmas shopping, you won't have as much patience as usual and nor will anyone else. Auspicious colours are golden honey and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 35 and 63.
 
Hold it! You need to approach things in a calm, controlled manner today otherwise you're likely to get yourself into a state in no time at all. That's especially likely if you're trying to meet a deadline because you'll start to panic and then become all fingers and thumbs. You might also get extremely ratty with anyone who gets in your way or asks stupid questions. Come on, is that fair? Opportunistic colours are ginger and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 30 and 53.
 
Are you feeling fraught? It certainly seems that way, perhaps because you've got far too much on your plate and not nearly enough time to tackle it all. Do yourself a big favour and start with whatever is most urgent, otherwise you'll waste time by dithering or getting caught up in trivial tasks. Above all, don't get into a panic because that will squander valuable time and energy. Beneficial colours are blackberry and peach. Lucky numbers are 5 and 63.
 
Money is a source of friction between you and friends now, so treat it with caution and respect. There could be a disagreement between you and a chum about a possession or a debt that one of you owes the other. If you're trying to organize a forthcoming social event, you could come unstuck when working out how much it's all going to cost because it might be far too expensive. Fortunate colours are golden honey and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 21 and 68.
 
It's one of those days when you'd be wise to mind your Ps and Qs if you want to avoid putting both feet in it or feeling like a fool. The trouble is that you're finding it hard to think before you speak, and you're rushing into situations without thinking about the possible consequences. All you can do is to apologize and try your hardest not to let it happen again. Liberating colours are raspberry and khaki. Lucky numbers are 40 and 50.
 
Don't try to do too much at once today or you'll disappear up you know what! You're all fingers and thumbs, accident-prone and things start breaking. It won't help if you're trying to concentrate at work and a certain chatterbox doesn't know when to shut up. Ask them to be quiet but try not to sound shrewish. Adventurous colours are viridian and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 5 and 66.
 
Someone is easily angered today, and you'll want to tiptoe around them at every opportunity. They might be on the defensive and imagine that you're getting at them all the time, or they could be quick to point the finger of blame straight at you. It won't be an easy day, but try not to get swept up in the emotional dramas that are swirling around you. They'll only exhaust you. Stable colours are onyx and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 1 and 26.
 
Maybe it's pre-Christmas tension but certain people will turn nastyy in the blink of an eye today. This is especially likely if they've got a lot on their plate or they think they're very important, and you may have to treat them with kid gloves if you want to avoid getting sucked into a bad-tempered war of words. Some gentle humour may help to rescue the situation before it descends into acrimony. Dynamic colours are ginger and deep gold. Lucky numbers are 37 and 61.
 
Someone is very short-tempered, and they're liable to fly off the handle at a moment's notice. Maybe they're feeling vulnerable in some way or are desperately trying to defend what they see as their territory. Be sensitive to this and don't goad them into being even more irritable or upset than they are already. Frankly, it's just not worth it. Beneficial colours are silver and grey. Lucky numbers are 34 and 14.
 
You probably won't need any urging to do this, but the rest of the month is marvellous for being with special people and doing favourite things. You'll have a real capacity for pleasure and enjoyment, and you'll want to spread as much happiness around you as possible. Cupid could have you in his sights, so steer you-know-who under the mistletoe and see what happens next. Favourable colours are dark gold and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 21 and 40.
 
Throughout the rest of the month you'll really come into your own in social circles and will attract a whole new collection of admirers into the bargain. It's perfect timing because it paves the way for a wonderfully enjoyable festive season, and there's even a chance that you might meet a new love at a party or gathering. So get out your party clothes and be prepared to sparkle! Adventurous colours are bright red and dark purple. Lucky numbers are 18 and 31.
 
You show a very soft side to your personality during the next few weeks, which will increase your popularity still further. You'll take a lot of trouble to get on well with people, and you'll also have plenty of charm. If you usually suffer from that classic Sagittarian problem of foot-in-mouth disease, you'll be mercifully free of it now and may even have moments of stunning diplomacy. Favourable colours are spearmint and russet. Lucky numbers are 10 and 37.
 
During the rest of the month you'll enjoy being with people who know you inside out, and with whom you share a strong bond. You'll also want to be more forthcoming and emotional than usual, and may find yourself getting involved in heartfelt conversations and really intense exchanges. At times you may feel slightly exposed but it's important for you to open up emotionally right now. Positive colours are violet and spring green. Lucky numbers are 14 and 8.
 
Have a think about your long term plans today. You might even be inspired to start making your New Year resolutions and then to write them down in next year's diary. At some point you'll enjoy being with friends, perhaps at a festive gathering or an activity in which you're all involved. A hobby or leisure pursuit is also good fun now. Auspicious colours are gold and lilac. Lucky numbers are 27 and 33.
 
Throughout the rest of the month you'll enjoy the security and comfort that you gain from being in familiar places surrounded by familiar faces. You won't be happy about straying too far from home, and you'll rush back there as soon as possible. This is a great time to consider ways in which you can improve the appearance of your home or garden. Beneficial colours are azure and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 28 and 72.
 
Love comes in all shapes and sizes from today, and you won't want to discriminate in any way. You could become very attracted to someone who comes from a different walk of life or culture to yours, and you'll be intrigued by the things they can teach you. If you're about to go travelling you might be entranced and captivated by your destination or the people you meet there. Auspicious colours are pale gold and lime. Lucky numbers are 16 and 35.
 
From today you get the chance to prove how romantic and soppy you can be when the mood is right. So forget all about being a sensible Capricorn and arrange some candlelit encounters with that very special person in your life. There's a strong possibility that you could become involved in a relationship that has to be conducted in secret or which you want to keep strictly private. Romantic colours are dark green and champagne. Lucky numbers are 39 and 6.
 
During the next few weeks you'll be happiest when you're with people who make you feel loved and cherished. You'll bend over backwards to keep them sweet, and will concede arguments and disputes for the sake of peace. Try not to make it peace at any price because that could be setting up problems with people who will then try to take advantage of your good nature. Co-operation is one thing, being a doormat is quite different. Auspicious colours are scarlet and dark brown. Lucky numbers are 28 and 35.
 
An air of co-operation and harmony surrounds your working life from today, which is just what you need if you've been wondering how to improve your relationship with a colleague or customer. Things should start to go a lot more smoothly from today, provided you're willing to make the effort to be more conciliatory and easy-going yourself. Perhaps you need to set a good example? Harmonious colours are ochre and azure. Lucky numbers are 10 and 36.
 
From today you'll enjoy some very extravagant and indulgent phases. During these you might spend money like water or splash out on all sorts of treats. This is great if you've got the cash to spare but not such good news if you're struggling to stretch your money until the next payday. You'll also be feeling very sensual and seductive, so watch out world! Dynamic colours are sunflower yellow and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 35 and 69.
 
From today, you'll be in a better position to get on well with someone who has power or authority over you. This might be your boss, some other authority figure, a friend you really respect or an older relative. So maybe you should chat up your superiors at the office Christmas party, or make more of an effort to understand what makes a certain person tick. Beneficial colours are amber and purple. Lucky numbers are 6 and 53.
 
You're in a terrific mood; happy-go-lucky, sunny tempered and eager to get the most out of the day. It's terrific for taking part in social activities because you'll put plenty of energy into them and do your best to make them a success. You're also feeling lucky now so might want to take a risk by making the first move towards someone you'd like to know better. Go on, you have nothing to lose but your pride. Favourable colours are tan and navy. Lucky numbers are 32 and 47.
 
Life has a lot to offer today, especially if you're mixing with people on the same wavelength as you. Ideally, you should be going to a party or festive gathering because you'll really enjoy yourself. You'll find it easy to chat to whoever happens to be there, even if they're a complete stranger. You might even go home with their phone number tucked safely in your pocket. Exciting colours are crimson and bright yellow. Lucky numbers are 29 and 3.
 
You're in an expansive mood and are looking for activities that will complement your currently open-minded view of the world. Anything connected with travel or education is right up your street today, especially if you're planning for the future. The enticing prospect of arranging your next holiday may be too good to resist. Beneficial colours are plum and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 40 and 4.
 
If you want to make the best of the day you should lock yourself away and work on your own. This will make it easier to concentrate, especially if you're trying to focus on something that's fiddly or difficult. If you've got something on your mind at the moment it will be worth having a quiet word in someone's ear because they'll help you to get things into their proper perspective. Fortunate colours are burgundy and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 37 and 59.
 
Catch up with the chores today, especially if you've got a list of them as long as your arm and you want to get through them all before Christmas. You're feeling nicely efficient without wanting to work yourself into the ground, so carry on at a steady pace. A few well-chosen words in a certain person's ear will be more effective than a lengthy conversation at other times. Fortunate colours are cherry blossom and grey. Lucky numbers are 34 and 76.
 
It's time to assess your Christmas preparations. Have you written and posted all your cards? If not, get cracking now while you're in the mood to get them all out of the way. You'll also enjoy a quick trip around the shops to see what's on offer and tick off a few more items on that long list of yours. If you're stuck for a present for someone, maybe you could find a book that they'd like. Auspicious colours are teal blue and primrose yellow. Lucky numbers are 75 and 28.
 
If you're a typical Virgo you excel at the practicalities of life, and you're certainly taking them in your stride right now. You'll enjoy keeping one step ahead of the chores, and ticking them off your list of things to do. If you're at work, you'll be thrilled by someone's evident appreciation of your efforts on their behalf. Advantageous colours are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 40 and 76.
 
You're in the mood to spend some money today. That's fine if you've got it, because you'll have a wonderful time strolling around the shops. But it isn't such good news if you're supposed to be sticking to a strict budget because that will be well nigh impossible once you've seen something that catches your eye. It will keep saying 'Buy me, buy me!' Positive colours are lime and jade. Lucky numbers are 13 and 78.
 
What an amazing day! There's such a strong telepathic link between you and a certain someone that there is almost no need for words. You'll know what each other is thinking and will feel as though you're with a kindred spirit. This is bound to set you wondering about the purpose of your relationship, and you may even suspect that you were destined to know one another. Fortunate colours are charcoal grey and mustard yellow. Lucky numbers are 35 and 59.
 
If you're going to a festive party or gathering today you'll have a great time. It will be good to see some old faces and also nice to meet some new ones. Don't be shy about breaking the ice if you spot someone you'd like to know better. If you haven't yet finished writing all your Christmas cards, do your best to get them out of the way now so they aren't on your conscience any longer. Stabilising colours are ice blue and ginger. Lucky numbers are 48 and 32.
 
Yesterday you had a good control over the workings of your mind, but sadly that isn't the case today. Instead, your thoughts are wandering in every direction except the one you need to concentrate on. The result will be a sense of being disconnected from what's going on around you and possibly even a dreamlike quality to the day. Don't make any decisions while you're like this. Inspiring colours are charcoal and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 15 and 42.
 
Keep track of your belongings today otherwise they could soon go on the missing list. It will be an annoying waste of time having to find them again, and if you're really unlucky some items may not resurface for days. If you're busy hiding Christmas presents so that certain people won't find them before the big day, make sure that you remember where you've put them! Positive colours are mauve and tangerine. Lucky numbers are 7 and 19.
 
If a loved one is upset about something you'll do your utmost to help today. That might involve letting them talk about what's wrong until they feel better about it, or giving them your emotional support. Although you'll want to take their side, bear in mind that they may not exactly be giving you an unbiased report of what's happened so you should keep an open mind. Prosperous colours are ultramarine and mango. Lucky numbers are 16 and 71.
 
You know what they say about this being the season of goodwill to all men? Well, you get the chance to put it into action today by being understanding, tolerant and compassionate towards the people you meet. This doesn't mean you should condone anything awful that they do, but simply that you need to look beyond that to the larger picture. Favourable colours are pistachio and aquamarine. Lucky numbers are 32 and 55.
 
A little tact goes a long way today, enabling you to navigate your way through what has the potential to be a tricky situation. Luckily, things will work out well and you'll be pleased with the way you handled everything. If you're talking to a neighbour or close relative, beware of raising their hopes about something if you already know that it won't be happening. Fortunate colours are topaz and dusky rose. Lucky numbers are 12 and 65.
 
You're feeling conciliatory and compassionate today, and you're ready to bury the hatchet if you've been at odds with someone recently. You may have to make the first move, and risk getting a brush off, but you'll consider that a small price to pay if it means you're able to restore the peace. The relief you feel will tell you how much this has been preying on your mind. Stabilising colours are beige and indigo. Lucky numbers are 2 and 4.
 
You've got high hopes about someone or something today, and you're confident that everything will turn out well. If a positive attitude is a guarantee of a positive outcome then you have nothing to worry about. But is it? There's a chance that you're being far too optimistic, and confusing fantasy with fact. If so, you'll be in for a big disappointment. Auspicious colours are lemon and russet. Lucky number is 19.
 
Your imagination is working well today and ready to take off on flights of fancy. A little daydreaming will lead to some inspired ideas, as will discussing your thoughts with someone who's on the same wavelength as you. Speaking of wavelengths, you could have a telepathic experience now that defies explanation. Ideal colours are copper and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 15 and 8.
 
You're open to all sorts of inspiration today so let it flood your mind. You can sort it out later on, but right now you should be allowing your thoughts to flow in many interesting directions. Jot down your ideas in case you forget them again, because there's a chance that you might be slightly forgetful or absent-minded right now. Beneficial colours are mauve and sable. Lucky numbers are 35 and 76.
 
You're in a very sensitive frame of mind today and are acutely aware of what other people are going through. So if someone is having a bad time, you'll want to do what you can to help. However, it's important to accept that you may not be able to do a single thing. If you persist in trying to help, it will be because you're uncomfortable with the situation and want to feel better. Revealing colours are white and caramel. Lucky numbers are 3 and 31.
 
Your imagination is working well this Tuesday and you'll have a fantastic time if you can allow your mind to wander in whichever direction it wants to go. Strange as it may sound, you'll have some brilliant results if you can do some day-dreaming, because you'll hit on some great ideas. You will also have a lot of inspiration from listening to music or being in beautiful surroundings. Expansive colours are bright red and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 57.
 
You're viewing the world from a wonderfully optimistic perspective today, which makes you feel good. However, it's important that you keep your feet on the ground and don't allow yourself to be carried away by wishful thinking or unrealistic expectations. These will lead you in the wrong direction and you'll be bitterly disappointed when reality intrudes on your lovely dreams. Inspirational colours are vermilion and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 2 and 68.
 
This is a great day for understanding what's going on under the surface of things and for tuning into the subtle messages that others are sending out. For instance, someone may say one thing yet you'll be utterly convinced that they really mean something quite different. However, they won't like it if you say so, so you'll have to maintain a tactful and discreet silence. Auspicious colours are avocado and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 36 and 77.
 
Are you in listening mode today? Let's hope so because someone wants to bend your ear and they're hoping that you can spare the time and energy for them. Although your first instincts may tell you to give them plenty of advice, try to stop yourself volunteering it unless it's asked for. Even then, you may get the sense that you're really being asked to listen, not talk. Ambitious colours are pale rose and peach. Lucky numbers are 28 and 44.
 
This is turning out to be quite a month, because today you're given the opportunity to make a personal transformation. Don't be afraid to rid yourself of some aspect of your personality or life that has outlived its usefulness, and to embrace something more positive for the future. You don't know what you can do until you try, so give it your best shot and see what happens. Inspirational colours are fawn and ochre. Lucky numbers are 11 and 55.
 
Today you're happiest when you're giving your brain some exercise. That might involve reading a stimulating book, learning something new or simply chatting to someone who always makes you think. You're attracted to topics with a spiritual, religious or political slant, especially if you think they might improve the world in some way. And it could certainly do with some help. Ideal colours are white and bright red. Lucky numbers are 38 and 46.
 
You're feeling very constructive today and this will impress the people around you. If you're trying to sort out a problem with someone, it should be a piece of cake now because you'll be able to combine a level-headed approach with a desire for harmony and co- operation. You will also get the chance to forge a greater understanding with a certain person, which is all to the good. Fortunate colours are amethyst and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 1 and 2.
 
The accent is firmly on partnerships at the moment and today you're able to get right down to the nuts and bolts of a particular relationship. You'll manage to cut through the distractions and expectations to discover what's really going on between the two of you, thereby offering you the chance to make positive changes and adjustments that will mean you get on better in 2005. Favourable colours are onyx and opal. Lucky numbers are 3 and 39.
 
This is a fantastic day for showing generosity and kindness towards loved ones. You might want to give a special person a treat, or let them know that you're thinking of them. It's also a great opportunity to strengthen the bond between you and you-know-who, because this will work wonders for your relationship and draw you even closer together. Fortunate colours are apricot and nutmeg. Lucky numbers are 35 and 47.
 
Stand by for fundamental changes in a close relationship today. Something that has been hidden or secret until now comes to the surface, forcing you to acknowledge it. For instance, if you fancy someone but haven't done anything about it, the atmosphere between you now could become so torrid that you're finally overtaken by passion. Receptive colours are ivory and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 18 and 26.
 
It's a great day for doing some Christmas shopping. You've got the stamina to fight your way round the shops and the interest to see what's on offer when you get there. However, you'll be very tempted to buy whatever you see first and only look at the price tag later, which could turn out to be a very expensive tactic. Ideal colours are pale pink and honeycomb.

Something that's been buried comes to the surface today, triggering a change in your life.

Lucky numbers are 17 and 56.
 
This is a terrific day for doing your best at work.

Fortunate colours are cinnamon and marzipan. Lucky numbers are 12 and 1.
 
Someone is in a no nonsense mood. This makes them rather formidable company because they aren't mucking about and they don't want to waste their time. Instead, they're very single-minded about getting what they want and they won't care who gets trampled on in the process. Be careful if this person sees you as a stepping stone towards getting what they want because they could be quite ruthless in the way they treat you. Favourable colours are scarlet and apple blossom. Lucky numbers are 34 and 66.

Today's New Moon focuses on your most private and intimate relationships, and is encouraging you to make a fresh effort with them. For instance, if your sex life has become rather jaded recently, this is a great opportunity to spice it up.

You'll wonder why you waited so long before doing something about it. Insightful colours are indigo and plum. Lucky numbers are 10 and 60.
 
Today's New Moon signals that a new chapter is about to begin in your home or family life.

Lucky numbers are 2 and 9.
 
You're one of the brainiest members of the zodiac, which is glaringly obvious today. Your mind is working well and you'll enjoy discussing topical items with whoever happens to be around. You could find yourself looking for a spiritual meaning behind current events or trying to work out what a recent experience can teach you. Positive colours are peach and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 28 and 44.
 
It's a great day because everything is going well and your plans fall into place with very little effort on your part. Everyone is being very co-operative, too, which is always good news, and probably little short of a miracle if you're seeing you-know-who. Once again, you'll enjoy being left alone at some point. Auspicious colours are violet and ivory. Lucky numbers are 16 and 28.
 
If you've barely made a dent in your Christmas shopping, enjoy making up for lost time now. Just point yourself in the direction of the shops and see what happens! However, to avoid spending more money than you can comfortably afford to part with, it would be a good idea to work out a strict budget first or only to take the cash you want to spend. Otherwise, you know what will happen. Practical colours are mulberry and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 28 and 44.
 
Whistle while you work! You're keen to enjoy yourself whenever possible, and you don't see why you should have a long face while doing the chores.

What a difference this will make. Favourable colours are cornflower blue and plum. Lucky numbers are 9 and 22.
 
An opportunity could come your way now, courtesy of your partner or teammate. You'll have to be waiting for it otherwise it could pass you by, so remember to keep your options and your mind open. Whatever you do today, it will be more enjoyable if you can do it in the company of others, especially if they always make you laugh. Favourable colours are silvery blue and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 18 and 3.
 
If you haven't yet put up the Christmas decorations this is the perfect day to do so. You'll enjoy making your home seem even more cosy than it is already, and you'll also like feeling nostalgic as you dust off the decorations from previous years and think about the old days. At some point, spare the time for a relative who's feeling slightly lonely or down in the dumps. Propitious colours are coffee and olive. Lucky numbers are 3 and 62.
 
Ideally, you should spend today enjoying yourself as much as possible. It's exactly what you're in the mood for, so you'll do it really well. Any form of socializing will be good fun, especially if it's taking place at home. You'll do your best to ensure that everyone has fun, and will take extra trouble with the food and drink. Favourable colours are dark purple and champagne. Lucky numbers are 4 and 76.
 
It's another chatty day, and once again you'll enjoy a lovely long natter. However, try to bear in mind that you're in a very subjective mood at the moment so you're bound to see everything from your own standpoint. This will give you a very lop sided view of the world, especially if you're thinking about some of your relationships. Positive colours are butterscotch and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 4 and 28.
 
This is another good day for socializing, and you'll manage to turn any event into an enjoyable occasion. What's more, you'll come up with lots to talk about which will help you to get over any uncomfortable moments. If you meet someone that you'd like to know better, don't be shy about suggesting that you get together soon. Of course, they might beat you to it! Ideal colours are magenta and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 13 and 23.
 
Once again you're in a chatty and gregarious mood, but ideally you won't want to talk about any old thing.

Lucky numbers are 23 and 32.
 
You'll value the chance to have some time to yourself today, even if you have to snatch the odd moment here and there.

This is an ideal day to practise some form of meditation or creative visualization because it will go really well. Harmonious colours are cherry pink and cream. Lucky numbers are 22 and 66.
 
If you haven't got any plans today, get together with some loved ones. You might be inspired to invite them round for a meal, but they'll still be happy to see you even if you can only run to a cup of tea and a biscuit. If you haven't yet put up any festive decorations, you'll enjoy doing so now, preferably to the accompaniment of some seasonal music. Favourable colours are brass and spring green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 21.
 
Your mind is working well today, especially if you're hoping to cut a swathe through all the chores that are waiting for you. You'll get through them much quicker than usual, provided that you aren't interrupted by people who are longing to chat. Once they get started there will be no stopping them, so either be firm with them or pretend that you're about to go out and then lock your door so you can be left in peace. Practical colours are apple green and hazelnut. Lucky numbers are 40 and 15.
 
Ring a friend for a quick chat and you could still be on the phone an hour later, while this person yaks away non-stop with no signs of coming to a halt. It will be the same story if you see someone face to face, because they'll be garrulous in the extreme. Mind you, the same could be said of you, even though you may not be aware that you're hogging the conversational limelight. Beneficial colours are plum and ivory. Lucky numbers are 13 and 19.
 
There is a strong accent on communicating with others at the moment and this is another day when you're blessed with the ability to hit it off with everyone you meet.

Just smile and all will be well. Favourable colours are peach and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 13 and 10.
 
A loved one is really chatty today, and they won't really know when to shut up. This is great if you don't have anything better to do than to listen to them running on, but won't be such good news if you've got one eye on the clock all the time. Mind you, you won't exactly have taken a vow of silence yourself, particularly when it comes to talking about domestic matters. Propitious colours are gold and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 66 and 77.
 
Ask someone for their advice and they'll still be talking half an hour later. Unfortunately, even though they're saying a lot, there may not be many pearls of wisdom in their conversation and you may quickly decide that they're just yakking on about whatever has popped into their head, with little or no relevance to what you asked them in the first place. Ho hum! Favourable colours are lemon and lilac. Lucky numbers are 32 and 18.
 
You're in a very analytical mood today and you'll enjoy looking deeply at any situation that you're currently involved in.

You might also enjoy reading a psychotherapy or self-help book about some of the issues you're facing right now. Fortunate colours are cream and lilac. Lucky numbers are 16 and 53.
 
You're in a very talkative frame of mind and will enjoy regaling everyone with your opinions on all sorts of subjects. But make sure you're being interesting, and do your best to avoid being boring or not knowing when to shut up. If you're taking off on a journey or trip today, make absolutely certain that you've got everything you need before you set out. Otherwise you might discover that you've left something vital at home, which will be very annoying. Powerful colours are onyx and lemon. Lucky numbers are 30 and 52.
 
If you were planning to get a lot done today you'd better lock yourself away from every other living soul. That's because it's a day when everyone you meet is immensely chatty, and you're also in a garrulous frame of mind. It's fine if you don't have anything else to do, but it will be frustrating if you're trying to get on with the chores and you keep being interrupted. Try to be considerate if someone else is up to their eyes in work and you're holding them up. Fortunate colours are lemon and lime. Lucky numbers are 3 and 77.
 
You're much more voluble and articulate today, so you might want to have another go at telling someone what's bugging you at the moment. However, don't get so carried away that you end up dominating the conversation, especially if it's obvious that this person also has things that they need to talk about. Give them a chance to have their say. Auspicious colours are chocolate and blue green. Lucky numbers are 4 and 34.
 
You'll value the chance to have some time to yourself today because you've got plenty to think about and you need some peace and quiet in which to do it.

You may have to make an excuse if you're really craving some solitude. Inspiring colours are pumpkin and vermilion. Lucky numbers are 12 and 1.
 
Someone has a lot to say for themselves today, and much of it revolves around their possessions and spending habits. For instance, they might regale you with details of everything they've bought recently, even if you couldn't care less. Try not to do this yourself or you'll give the impression of being materialistic or possibly even mercenary. Auspicious colours are silvery white and lavender. Lucky numbers are 6 and 24.
 
It's a wonderful day for being sociable, whether you're chatting to a loved one or going to a seasonal party. You're feeling very gregarious and will leap at the chance to catch up on all the gossip. However, be careful not to get carried away and to say more than you intended. You should also stop talking every now and then so others can get a word in edgeways. Fortunate colours are pale orange and dark yellow. Lucky numbers are 15 and 78.
 
Take it slowly today otherwise you'll be almost guaranteed to lose your temper and make yourself very unpopular in the process. If someone is annoying you, you won't need any encouragement to start a row because you're looking for outlets for your current ire and irritation. OK, but do your best to direct your anger at the person who deserves it and not at innocent bystanders. Favourable colours are mulberry and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 31 and 68.
 
If someone owes you money and you're beginning to think that you'll never get it back, this is an excellent day to chase them up. They may not cave in straightaway but at least you'll have had your say and done what you can. Watch out for a tendency to lose your temper, because although this could be quite dramatic if you're usually the soul of equanimity it could work against you if you become aggressive or unpleasant. Fortunate colours are banana yellow and violet. Lucky numbers are 36 and 71.
 
A certain person is being very feisty and fiery today. You may also suspect that they're looking for an argument and will provoke you until you rise to the bait. Trigger points include shared finances, sex and any topic that is currently supposed to be off-limits. You'll probably discover that you want to clear the air, but don't get carried away. Fortunate colours are ginger and navy. Lucky numbers are 15 and 48.
 
You're in a tricky position because someone who is supposed to know what they're talking about seems to be spouting complete nonsense instead. If this is an older friend or relative then you can simply smile politely and wait for them to rejoin the rest of us on Planet Earth. But if it's a boss or bureaucrat who's talking rubbish or giving you some puzzling orders, you'll be in a quandary about what to do. Ideal colours are blueberry and parchment. Lucky numbers are 21 and 20.
 
There's a certain amount of friction between you and your partner today. This could be really exciting and dynamic, spurring you into fresh adventures together, or it might lead to spats that seem to get more petty as the day wears on. So resist the temptation to get drawn into silly squabbles and instead express today's energy in more positive ways. Stabilising colours are chocolate and magenta. Lucky numbers are 17 and 65.
 
Beware of taking on too much because it will be an effort to get through it all. You might even have to give up the unequal struggle, which won't do much for your ego or your reputation. Be especially careful about this if you're at work because a certain person may try to take advantage of what they see as your weakness or failure to deliver the goods. Favourable colours are peacock blue and silvery grey. Lucky numbers are 15 and 72.
 
You're dashing around in several directions at once today because you're gripped by the burning desire to get things done. You're in a tearing hurry, and the problem is that this could make you rather irritable if things don't go the way you want or people don't jump to it. You might also be feeling angry with a friend, even if you can't put your finger on what's wrong. Dynamic colours are jet black and pure white. Lucky numbers are 30 and 19.
 
The last thing you want to do is to picking over every little thing. Instead, you have one eye permanently on the clock and you're trying to cram as many activities into the day as possible. This will be good fun and you'll enjoy keeping up the momentum, but beware of a possible tendency to become reckless or to try to cut corners in order to save time, because this will be self-defeating in the long run. Beneficial colours are oyster and aqua. Lucky number is 25.
 
If you want to avoid having a row with someone, get out and about as much as possible today so you can work off all your nervous energy. If you stay in one place for too long you'll be in danger of becoming moody, and possibly even a right old crosspatch. You might also lose your temper with loved ones who are being bolshie or who have the audacity to disagree with you about something. Lighten up, Cancer! Expressive colours are pistachio and silvery blue. Lucky numbers are 22 and 51.
 
Moodiness is never far away today, making you over-react to problems and giving you a tendency to take out your feelings on your nearest and dearest. If someone asks you what's really wrong, you'll struggle to explain and may even have to give up because you can't put it into words. It's like an itch that you can't scratch, and you don't know where it stems from or what it means. Advantageous colours are dark yellow and cinnamon. Lucky numbers are 33 and 6.
 
If you look closely, you'll see a black cloud hovering over a loved one's head. They'll find the smallest excuse for losing their temper or throwing a tantrum, so tiptoe around them or try to jolly them out of their filthy mood. If the situation continues you may decide that it would be better to get the inevitable argument out of the way than to pussyfoot around them any longer. Fortunate colours are dark red and silver. Lucky numbers are 30 and 42.
 
This is not a day for sitting still if you can possibly avoid it because it will be a fast track to bad temper and sharp-tongued outbursts. Have plenty of short breaks, go for lots of walks or work up a sweat in the gym in your lunch-hour. If you're driving, keep an eye on the speedometer because it will be very tempting to go too fast and you'll be furious if you're caught. Auspicious colours are amethyst and ivory. Lucky numbers are 24 and 1.
 
You should have a lucky break today when fate steps in and takes a hand. For instance, a situation may seem to be heading for disaster when you're suddenly bailed out in ways you would never have imagined. However, this doesn't mean you can take foolish risks in the hope that things will work out all right because there's no guaranteeing that they'll do so automatically. Prosperous colours are lime and fawn. Lucky numbers are 17 and 75.
 
You'll enjoy livening up your home in some way today. You might decide to experiment in the kitchen and cook something that you've never tried before, or invite someone round on the spur of the moment. Alternatively, matters might be taken out of your hands when a secret comes to light or a loved one's actions take you by surprise. Receptive colours are silver and navy. Lucky numbers are 34 and 11.
 
Someone dear to your heart isn't exactly a barrel of laughs today, are they? Is it your imagination or are they taking a perverse delight in spreading doom and gloom in all directions? If they've got good reason to be miserable then they deserve your sympathy, but even so it may not last for long. Try to keep active and cheerful, otherwise you'll also develop a tendency to brood. Beneficial colours are navy and gold. Lucky numbers are 20 and 69.
 
Someone is in a finger-wagging mood and unfortunately they seem to be concentrating on you! Maybe they think you've fallen from grace for some reason, or perhaps you're simply the only person who happens to be around when they feel like letting off steam. Do your best not to fall into an equally critical and disgruntled mood, because it will soon make you feel wretched. Bright colours are silver and cherry pink. Lucky numbers are 39 and 58.
 
How is your Christmas shopping coming along? This is a good day for doing a little bit more of it, and your eagle eyes will spot some interesting items if you're looking for unusual gifts. It might help to take someone along to keep you company or to arrange to meet them afterwards. You'll be inspired to write some letters to put inside your Christmas cards if you haven't already sent them off. Ideal colours are peacock blue and jade. Lucky numbers are 34 and 10.
 
Get together with some of your favourite people today because they're exactly what you need if you want to keep smiling. Try to keep your plans as fluid as possible, because then you can do things on the spur of the moment and not worry about it. There could be an interesting coincidence at some point, or an unexpected encounter with a colourful character. Ideal colours are avocado and amber. Lucky numbers are 2 and 17.
 
You're in the mood for a heart to heart talk with someone today, and it will help to bring you closer together and increase your understanding of one another. This is also a golden opportunity to talk about any problems that have been rankling between you, and to get them out into the open so you can discuss them and then put them behind you. Auspicious colours are burnt orange and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 30 and 14.
 
Believe it or not, you'll enjoy doing some domestic shopping today. For a start, it will be an interesting challenge to negotiate your way through the hordes of shoppers without getting mown down by a runaway trolley, and you'll also enjoy seeing what's on offer. Keep an eye open for bargains and be prepared to be flexible about some of the items on your shopping list. Fortunate colours are vermilion and teal blue. Lucky numbers are 10 and 46.
 
One of the family needs plenty of love and attention today, but the trouble is that you may not be able to spare the time. If so, you'll be consumed with guilt and self-reproach, and this may become so strong that it casts a blight over the day. So do what you can to let them know you're thinking about them, but resist the temptation to berate yourself over things you can't change. Beneficial colours are golden honey and sienna. Lucky numbers are 7 and 45.
 
It's a good day for getting on with your Christmas preparations, especially if you've still got to write or post your cards. Well, what are you waiting for? It will be surprisingly painless and enjoyable once you get into the swing of it. International contacts are positive and good fun now, and you might even receive an invitation to stay with someone who lives a long way away. Soaring colours are russet and sky blue. Lucky numbers are 24 and 57.
 
Social situations bring out the best in you right now, especially if they encourage you to be a free spirit and you don't have to worry about being on your best behaviour all the time. In fact, you'll welcome the chance to kick over the traces in some way or remind certain people that you're a much more complex personality than they sometimes give you credit for. Ideal colours are mustard yellow and jet black. Lucky numbers are 32 and 20.
 
Be choosy about who you spend time with today. If you're with someone who's habitually miserable or sorry for themselves, you'll soon be dragged down to their level and will struggle to recover again. However, you may feel such sympathy for their plight that you don't see you have any choice but to be with them. If so, do your best to remain positive. Fortunate colours are ultramarine and shimmering gold. Lucky numbers are 13 and 52.
 
If something is bothering you, it's important that you say so now, loudly and clearly. It's no good bottling things up any longer because that will only lead to resentment and a slow-burning anger. However, it's important that you know when to shut up too, otherwise you might overstate your case or sound so demanding that you turn others against you. Opportune colours are blueberry and silver. Lucky numbers are 12 and 19.
 
You have a one track mind this Tuesday and it's running along very ambitious lines. You might be absolutely determined to achieve something that you've been attempting for ages, and be so committed to it that you're prepared to let everything else go by the wayside for the time being. That's great, but don't become obsessive about it. Ideal colours are spring green and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 19 and 73.
 
Mix and mingle with as many people as possible this Tuesday. You'll love meeting up with friends, particularly if you haven't seen them recently or they've got some interesting news for you. If you've been toying with the idea of joining a club or organization but haven't been sure about it, you could screw up your courage now and send in your membership application. Sociable colours are gold and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 3 and 58.
 
You're in an industrious mood but you'll be happiest if you can be left to your own devices as much as possible. It's not that you're feeling unfriendly, simply that you won't be able to concentrate very well if you're surrounded by lots of people. If you haven't even started writing your Christmas cards yet, try to remedy that at some point today. Favourable colours are chocolate and peach. Lucky numbers are 14 and 13.
 
Watch out. Your mind is working overtime in full analytical mode, but you may be leaping to unfounded conclusions and reading too much into situations. The result of all this is that you might start to suspect someone's honesty or loyalty, and wonder what exactly they're up to. Don't accuse them of anything awful just yet because it may turn out that you were totally wrong about them. Revealing colours are dark gold and rich purple. Lucky numbers are 34 and 38.
 
Get out and about whenever possible today. You're feeling energized and will want to keep active at every opportunity. Leave the car at home if you can and walk to your destination instead, or have a brisk walk in your lunch-hour. It will be even better if you can take a brief holiday from your usual Tuesday routine and find some different surroundings for a change. Auspicious colours are toffee and silvery pink. Lucky numbers are 18 and 1.
 
Mind your Ps and Qs today, especially when talking to loved ones or discussing anything connected with your home. You could easily get involved in a battle of words, or give the wrong impression and then have to spend ages putting it right. It's important to be as straightforward as possible now to avoid planting suspicions in anyone's head about your probity or honesty. Beneficial colours are lapis lazuli and taupe. Lucky numbers are 20 and 7.
 
You're really on the ball today so there's no danger of anyone tricking you or fobbing you off with lame excuses. If you suspect that a loved one is hiding something from you, you'll want to question them in a lot of detail. That's all very well but try not to turn it into the third degree, nor to make them feel hounded or bullied by your desire to know what's going on. Advantageous colours are bronze and dark green. Lucky numbers are 39 and 3.
 
Your powers of concentration are finely honed today, enabling you to focus on something to the exclusion of all else. This is just what you need if you're hoping to make a big dent in your workload or you're doing something very fiddly or detailed. But it's important that you know when to stop, otherwise you might get really weary and lose your effectiveness. Positive colours are sage green and golden honey. Lucky numbers are 11 and 39.
 
You're blessed with plenty of tact today, so put it to good use. There's little to fear if you're getting together with someone who isn't always the easiest company because you'll manage to charm them into being pleasant for a change. Just to add some sparkle to your day there is likely to be an amusing flirtation with a certain person. Harmonious colours are tan and navy. Lucky numbers are 36 and 20.
 
You have a strong urge to get to the bottom of any mystery that you're currently faced with, whether it involves a personal relationship, a hunch about what's happening or a financial situation. What's more, you won't be satisfied until you've completely solved the puzzle. However, you'll only arouse bad feeling if you pry into things that are none of your business, so beware! Inspirational colours are lemon and silvery green. Lucky numbers are 23 and 32.
 
You're consumed with curiosity today and you won't relax until it's satisfied. It's the perfect day for any form of study or education because you're absorbing information like a sponge. You're seeing the world in very sharp focus right now and you'll want to share your opinions with others. However, bear in mind that they may not be as gripped by them as you are. Stabilising colours are smoky quartz and silver. Lucky numbers are 33 and 47.
 
You've got your sights set on the future and you're keen to do some planning in preparation for it. You'll find it easy to think laterally and logically, and to take everything into consideration. You'll also do well if you're taking a test or exam because you'll keep your head even if you're nervous, and your memory will help you to remember all those essential facts and figures. Beneficial colours are sky blue and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 20 and 50.
 
You're capable of making some very constructive and important decisions today, particularly where your relations with certain people are concerned. If you're fed up with the way someone has been treating you, you might now decide that the worm is about to turn and you're going to be much firmer about what you're prepared to put up with and what you won't tolerate. Stabilising colours are dark brown and silver. Lucky numbers are 11 and 12.
 
This is a good day for getting on with chores and mundane tasks. You'd much rather get them out of the way than have them hanging over you for any longer than necessary. What's more, you don't want to waste your time by doing things in the wrong order or by being so slapdash that you have to do something a second time. You're setting a terrific example right now! Favourable colours are crimson and cream. Lucky numbers are 29 and 1.
 
You're very interested to know what makes other people tick, and you could have some fascinating conversations during the course of the day. If you're with someone who comes from a different culture or background to yours, you'll want to know more about it without seeming to pry. This is also a good day to sort out the final details of any forthcoming travel plans. Ideal colours are magenta and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 38 and 30.
 
This is another day in which you should be monitoring the progress you've made so far with the festivities and deciding what has still to be done. You're operating very efficiently right now but you'll be even more effective if you can plan your time carefully, write lists of what you must buy or make, and be realistic about your capabilities. But don't expect to work miracles. Fortunate colours are vermilion and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 36 and 30.
 
Make the most of today's practical mood, especially if you're hoping to get through plenty of work. The best way to do this is to organize your time as efficiently as possible, and also to make sure that you have plenty of short breaks so you can recharge your batteries and then start work again feeling fresh and invigorated. Someone whose opinion you respect could give you some valuable advice. Auspicious colours are electric blue and electric pink. Lucky numbers are 72 and 19.
 
Christmas is only round the corner and it's time to take your preparations in hand. Get out those lists and make sure they're up to date. If you haven't bought your cards yet you should dash round the shops as soon as possible. A little forward planning will work wonders now, so start organizing your time with military efficiency. Dynamic colours are black and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 29 and 61.
 
If you're worried about running up big debts in what is usually one of the most expensive months of the year, start keeping a running total of how much money you've spent so far. You might have to restrict the amount you spend on Christmas presents, or make other savings in order to stay within your budget, but you realize the folly of ending up severely out of pocket. Ideal colours are olive and primrose yellow. Lucky numbers are 13 and 8.
 
Get organized because that's the best way to be productive today. You're eager to be as efficient and practical as possible, but you won't get very far if you don't know what to do first. So draw up a list of priorities and start with the most urgent. Ideally, you should be left to your own devices while you do all this because that will aid your concentration and self-confidence. Fortunate colours are lilac and apple blossom. Lucky numbers are 15 and 42.
 
You're feeling practical and efficient today, particularly when it comes to keeping on top of the domestic chores and bills. It will give you pleasure to make sure that everything is ticking over nicely at home, and also to take any actions that might save you money. If you're doing some shopping you'll be able to sniff out a bargain at fifty paces. Favourable colours are sage green and honeycomb. Lucky numbers are 9 and 1.
 
You're feeling practical and sensible today, so it's great for getting on with some of the Christmas preparations. The idea of saving money appeals to you now, and if you're browsing around the supermarket looking for festive food you might be so horrified by some of the prices that you decide to make your own instead. This will give you a real feeling of satisfaction. Ideal colours are fuchsia and gold. Lucky numbers are 29 and 4.
 
At some point today you'll enjoy working on a pastime or getting together with a group of kindred spirits. This will help you to relax and remind you that there's much more to life than mundane chores and a need to pay the bills. A friend is full of quiet commonsense that's well worth listening to, even if it won't set the world alight. Advantageous colours are charcoal grey and champagne. Lucky numbers are 6 and 56.
 
The last thing you want right now is to be left alone, because you're feeling far too sociable for that. You're very outgoing right now, and will manage to hold your own in any social setting. If you're hoping to turn someone's head, they'll be putty in your hands once you give them the full impact of your charm and personality. They don't stand a chance! Fortunate colours are amethyst and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 26 and 28.
 
Sparks will fly with a colleague if you're at work today, because there's a tremendous amount of nervous energy flowing between you. If your time is your own today, you'll want to devote plenty of it to enjoyment and entertainment, preferably in the company of some of your favourite people. Can you find an excuse for throwing an impromptu party? Beneficial colours are gold and silver. Lucky numbers are 2 and 75.
 
It's a hectic day for your love life, so be prepared! If you've been trying to hide your feelings for you-know-who, they could spill out now in an unstoppable rush. Everything that follows will be X- rated. If you're already happily paired up with someone, the atmosphere between you will be exciting, combustible and sexy. Fortunate colours are peach and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 8 and 22.
 
A powerful sense of adventure sweeps over you today, making you eager to rise to challenges and to pick up the gauntlet that life throws at your feet. There will be a certain amount of daring and courage in all this, and you might even surprise yourself by getting involved in situations that would normally send you running in the opposite direction. Fortunate colours are banana yellow and lapis lazuli. Lucky numbers are 40 and 2.
 
Enjoy today's lively atmosphere. It's great for throwing yourself into social settings and mixing with as many people as possible. You'll feel no hint of shyness or nerves, even if you're facing a room full of strangers. If things have been tricky with a near neighbour or close relative recently, this is a good day to sort things out even if you have to be quite tough in the process. Ideal colours are aqua and apricot. Lucky numbers are 39 and 51.
 
You're full of energy and determination right now, especially when it comes to nailing an ambition or making a name for yourself. You'll want to give it your best shot, and you'll get very annoyed if you feel your efforts are being frustrated by others. Watch out for a rather tense atmosphere with someone older or more influential than you, as this could lead to a row. Ambitious colours are black velvet and red satin. Lucky numbers are 9 and 46.
 
You're in the mood to make a few plans today, especially if you can look forward to them with great pleasure. Maybe you could arrange a social event for later in the month, or start planning what to do during your Christmas holidays. You'll blossom in the company of friends and other people who are on the same wavelength as you. Fortunate colours are ginger and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 33 and 21.
 
The level of sexual chemistry flowing between you and you-know- who is so powerful right now that you almost feel you could reach out and touch it. This could lead to some X-rated scenes but there's also a chance that it could go another way and provoke a combustible atmosphere. So do your best to steer the situation in whichever direction you want it to take. Fortunate colours are teal blue and apricot. Lucky numbers are 18 and 22.
 
If there have been slight tensions or frictions between you and a loved one recently, this is the perfect day to get them out into the open, thrash them out and then forget about them. Things could get quite heated in the process but don't worry because they'll work out all right in the end. Put as much energy into kissing and making up as you did in arguing! Energising colours are ivory and iridescent pink. Lucky numbers are 33 and 49.
 
There are powerful forces at work in a relationship today, and they'll have quite an impact on you. If you're with that special person in your life, don't be surprised if there's a lot of sexual tension between you that manifests as irritation and bad temper. You'll probably have a huge row and then have a very enjoyable time making it up. Fortunate colours are charcoal grey and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 26 and 77.
 
Someone is extremely supportive and helpful this Sunday, and it feels really good to know that you can count on their support. You may know exactly who this person is, but there's also a strong possibility that you're being looked after by your guardian angel at the moment. But don't let this encourage you to take foolish risks or overstep the mark in some way. Strong colours are violet and hyacinth. Lucky numbers are 13 and 50.
 
You're ready to put a lot of energy and drive into the day, but you'll prefer it if you're doing things that have meaning and emotional significance for you. There's a chance that you could get quite heated over anything that strikes you as important now, and others could be taken aback by your vehemence. There might also be a minor dust-up over a financial matter. Revealing colours are oyster and butterscotch. Lucky numbers are 35 and 13.
 
You're still keen to keep well clear of anything or anyone that looks like being a problem, but at least you aren't being as escapist as you were yesterday. This is a marvellous day for taking care of someone who isn't very well at the moment or who needs all the sympathy and understanding you can give them. Ideal colours are mauve and ivory. Lucky numbers are 5 and 8.
 
You're compassionate and understanding this Saturday, making you want to give people the benefit of the doubt wherever possible. If someone has let you down recently, you'll try to make excuses for them if you can't actually forgive them completely. If you can spare the time it will do you good to relax with a favourite pastime. Fortunate colours are apricot and coffee. Lucky numbers are 25 and 5.
 
Luckily, you're less susceptible to people leaning on you today, but there's still a chance that someone might try to take advantage of your good nature at some point. It will be difficult to stand up to them, partly because you genuinely want to help if at all possible, and partly because you don't want to be seen in a bad light. But you don't want to be seen as a doormat either, do you? Favourable colours are onyx and mango. Lucky numbers are 39 and 45.
 
If you gave up in despair over what happened yesterday, you stand a better chance of sorting things out today. Talking to the person concerned may help them to get a grip on the situation, especially if you manage to avoid recriminations or accusations. Instead, do your best to be as understanding and compassionate as possible. Beneficial colours are coffee and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 21 and 14.
 
How do you do it? You've got a smile and a pleasant word for everyone you meet today, and it's completely genuine, too. Right now you have a natural ability to keep people sweet and to endear yourself to them. If you're going to a party or celebration, you're in the mood to get dressed up to the nines and knock 'em all dead. You might even make a conquest in the process! Beneficial colours are ochre and mother of pearl. Lucky numbers are 37 and 44.
 
Surround yourself with loved ones today because it will do you the world of good to be with them. They'll be undemanding and easy company, and everyone will do their best to keep the atmosphere happy and convivial. Any form of interior design or decorating will go well now, helped by your artistic eye and flair for drama. Favourable colours are burnt orange and grapefruit. Lucky numbers are 19 and 6.
 
You still prefer to be in a world of your own, in which nothing nasty is happening, but at least you're feeling a little more realistic than you were yesterday. It's a super day for visiting somewhere that's beautiful, peaceful or relaxing, or for going to the cinema or an art gallery. But it will be difficult to get up the energy for any prolonged Christmas shopping. Opportunistic colours are dark red and navy. Lucky numbers are 18 and 59.
 
You're full of compassion and empathy for other people today, so don't be surprised if they come flocking to your side. You might even look after someone you consider to be a lame duck at some point. If you're a single Leo at the moment but have a huge crush on someone, some bewitching things could happen between you now so make sure you see them at some point. Fortunate colours are ebony and gold. Lucky numbers are 40 and 35.
 
You're in a very generous and kind frame of mind today, and you'll go out of your way to help others if you think they need it. You might donate some money to a good cause or decide that charity begins at home. If you're buying gifts for some of your loved ones it will be difficult to know when to stop, because you could easily get carried away. Fortunate colours are bright yellow and crimson. Lucky numbers are 14 and 40.
 
Relax with one of your favourite hobbies today. It will help you to unwind and also remind you that there's much more to life than hassle and worry. If you're really inspired you might decide to make some festive decorations, in which case the only boundaries will be your imagination and your level of skill. Beneficial colours are hazelnut and passionfruit. Lucky numbers are 15 and 55.
 
Follow your instincts today, particularly if they lead you towards creative activities or they tell you to pour your heart out to someone. You might also get the urge to protect someone or take care of them, and even more so if they aren't feeling very well at the moment. If you're at work, something strange but wonderful could happen with a colleague. What does it all mean? Beneficial colours are aubergine and bronze. Lucky numbers are 2 and 68.
 
You're full of empathy and compassion today, helping you to tune into what's going on around you and to know instinctively if someone needs your support. You're also prepared to give someone a second chance or the opportunity to redeem themselves if they've recently let you down. At the moment you have no interest in holding grudges because you know you're bigger than that. Ideal colours are pineapple and ivory. Lucky numbers are 39 and 33.
 
It's one of those difficult days in which you could talk yourself into doing or thinking almost anything, given half a chance. Although you normally have both feet planted firmly on the ground, that isn't true today because you're indulging in some delicious flights of fancy. If you do disappear into a world of your own for some relaxing escapism, make sure you return to Planet Earth in the near future. Favourable colours are golden honey and azure. Lucky numbers are 14 and 1.
 
Tread carefully if you're involved in a property deal or home improvement plan today because someone might try to pull the wool over your eyes. They might forget to give you some vital pieces of information, or give you the soft soap treatment in the hope that you won't ask awkward questions. You're very trusting right now but don't let that make you gullible. Propitious colours are claret and turquoise. Lucky numbers are 38 and 45.
 
You're in a super sensitive mood today so you need to choose the company you keep very carefully. You're also showing distinct tendencies to only believe what you want to believe and to disregard the rest, even if something is so obvious that it's staring you in the face. Right now, you want to bury your head in the sand and avoid anything unpleasant, but you'll have to face it sooner or later. The more you resist doing this now, the more difficult things may be further down the line. Sensitive colours are peach and ivory. Lucky numbers are 15 and 29.
 
You're at your most idealistic and romantic today, which is saying something. You have no desire to come into contact with brutal reality unless you have absolutely no choice in the matter. Instead, you want to float away into a world of your own, preferably accompanied by someone utterly wonderful. However, don't fall into the trap of kidding yourself about something or someone, especially if you know full well that this will break your heart further down the line. Romantic colours are magenta and peach. Lucky numbers are 28 and 17.
 
You jump at the chance of some harmless escapism today, and it will do you good provided that you're ready to return to reality again tomorrow. Nevertheless, you shouldn't make any important emotional or financial decisions right now because you may not be viewing the situation in its true light and could easily be influenced by wishful thinking or unrealistic ideals. Ideal colours are aqua and smoky quartz. Lucky numbers are 37 and 46.
 
Be very wary about mixing love and money today, because they could curdle and leave a nasty taste in your mouth. Someone might rip you off, or so it seems to you. And 'seems' is the operative word because you're being very subjective and emotional, and you'll be strongly influenced by your feelings. There is also a chance that someone you trust is playing fast and loose with your heart, although you won't be certain of that at this stage. Empowering colours are lapis lazuli and aubergine. Lucky numbers are 19 and 57.
 
If someone wants a favour from you, they'll do their utmost to play on your sympathy now. They might make a big song and dance about not being very well, or complain about all their chores as though you don't have enough of your own to cope with. If you agree to help them, do so out of the goodness of your heart rather than because you've been manipulated into it. Revealing colours are sienna and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 3 and 50.
 
Someone simply isn't being realistic or practical today. They seem to be lost in a dream world of wishful thinking and idealism, none of which has anything to do with what's really going on. Unfortunately, they won't want to hear any of this and may even manipulate the situation so they don't have to listen to your opinions. Be careful when dealing with them and try not to get sucked into their current desire to escape reality at all costs. Harmonious colours are dark green and apricot. Lucky numbers are 21 and 16.
 
It's horribly easy to deceive yourself in some way today, especially if you allow wishful thinking to get the upper hand or you're doing your best to ignore some unpalatable facts. The situation will be compounded if you're trying to keep on the right side of someone you admire or respect, and this means presenting a false or highly selective image of yourself. Revealing colours are maroon and fawn. Lucky numbers are 26 and 31.
 
You're normally pretty canny but today you're wearing rose tinted glasses that prevent you seeing what's really going around you. There probably isn't much harm in this if your vision is only temporarily obscured but you could be heading for problems if you persist in taking a very idealistic view of a current situation. It's especially important that you're being realistic if someone's health is involved. Fortunate colours are marmalade and jade. Lucky numbers are 3 and 67.
 
Go carefully, because you're gullible today, making you very vulnerable to people who might want to mislead you in some way. Unfortunately, you'll also do a very good job of misleading yourself by deliberately turning a blind eye to difficult situations and by taking an escapist attitude to anything that seems like too much hard work. Don't persist in this for too long because it will inevitably lead to trouble. Beneficial colours are shimmering purple and pale gold. Lucky numbers are 36 and 13.
 
You're in a highly romantic mood today, which is great if you're with your beloved and you trust them implicitly. You'll have a wonderful time together and the rest of the world will just melt away. But try to be a little more realistic if you're dealing with money matters because there's a strong chance that someone is trying to manipulate you or part you with what's rightfully yours. Alternatively, you may be trying something similar with them, even though you daren't admit it to yourself. Dreamy colours are burgundy and pale pink. Lucky numbers are 5 and 67.
 
Your social life has a lot to offer today and it would be a shame for you to spend too much time on your own. You're feeling outgoing and jovial, and you're also prepared to make quite a bit of effort with people you aren't normally very keen on. Right now, you're able to take them in your stride and find something to like about them. Good for you! Empowering colours are avocado and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 18 and 43.
 
You'll be very pleased with everything you achieve today, and for good reason. You're being efficient and industrious, and you'll want to make the best use of your time. It's also a good day for talking to people in power or authority, partly so you can pick their brains if needs be and partly so you can make a good impression on them. Fortunate colours are sapphire blue and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 26 and 38.
 
Home is where your heart is and you'll happily stay there whenever possible today. Ideally, you should be surrounded by some of your loved ones, even if you're all slumped on the sofa in front of the TV. If you enjoy cooking, you'll get tremendous satisfaction from shutting yourself in the kitchen and either producing a delicious meal or creating some Christmas food that can live in the freezer until you need it. Bold colours are hazelnut and red. Lucky numbers are 20 and 46.
 
Your Sagittarian optimism reasserts itself today, and about time too! You're feeling so much more cheerful and happy that it almost seems like a miracle. You're also longing to throw yourself into the festive preparations with a glad heart, especially if you've barely even thought about them up until now. Suddenly, you're aware of the date and of the need to get moving, and it feels like an exciting challenge. Fortunate colours are cornflower blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 16 and 64.
 
Your sunny temperament has returned and you're determined to throw yourself whole-heartedly into whatever the day has to offer. Ideally, it should offer you some pleasure and laughter, so arrange something nice if you don't have anything planned. Your power to charm is considerable right now and it will make you a bit hit with whoever gets the full force of it. But don't give someone the come-on if you don't mean it. Revealing colours are sunflower yellow and cornflower blue. Lucky numbers are 4 and 69.
 
Thank goodness you're in a much happier mood today. In fact, you're feeling pretty good and your emotions are far more stable than they were yesterday. It's a wonderful day for getting together with someone special, or with a group of loved ones, and having a very cosy time. If you've been meaning to tell you-know-who how important they are to you, take a deep breath and do it now. Dynamic colours are navy and raspberry. Lucky numbers are 6 and 64.
 
You're much more in command of your emotions today, which is just as well because you'll get a lot done if you try. You'll be especially effective when it comes to clearing your desk of all the paper that's covering it at the moment, and I'm not talking about shoving it on to the floor, either. If you've been waiting for news of a pay rise or bonus, it could arrive any minute now. Revealing colours are mauve and coffee. Lucky numbers are 30 and 51.
 
You're in a highly sociable and gregarious mood this Thursday, so it would be a shame to keep yourself to yourself. Not that there's much likelihood of that because your popularity is on the rise and you're in great demand. It's a lovely day for going out with your other half or for meeting some friends, or perhaps for getting everyone together for a drink or a meal. Auspicious colours are sunshine yellow and bright pink. Lucky numbers are 1 and 33.
 
This is a great day for doing something sociable, and if it's festive as well then so much the better. You'll enjoy mingling with friends, neighbours and loved ones, and will even get the chance to smooth over recent problems with a certain person. Right now you're making a big effort to get on well with everyone and it will be much appreciated. Inspirational colours are violet and burgundy. Lucky numbers are 11 and 77.
 
As far as you're concerned, the party season has already started! If you can't do something enjoyable or sociable at some point today you'll feel as though you're missing out. If you're going to a social event you'll be a real wow and could collect admirers without even realizing it. Enjoy this expansive and gregarious phase while it lasts. It will help you to turn plenty of heads. Positive colours are maroon and oyster. Lucky numbers are 20 and 12.
 
This is a day for turning your attention to your finances, especially if you're currently trying to devise the budget for some domestic improvements or changes. Talk to the other people concerned and really listen to what they're saying because they'll have some great insights. It will be far more productive to work as part of a harmonious team than as warring factions. Ideal colours are caramel and cream. Lucky numbers are 11 and 18.
 
You'll get a tremendous amount of work done today if you organize your time well. This will apply whether you're working on your own or you're part of a team, because either way you'll know exactly what you're doing and will take pride in doing it to the best of your ability. It's great if you're taking part in a meeting or attending an interview because you'll show yourself in a really favourable light. Favourable colours are blueberry and mulberry. Lucky numbers are 32 and 15.
 
It feels as though you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders, which isn't exactly the greatest way to start December. So what's wrong? Are you appalled to discover that the year has nearly gone and you don't have much to show for it? Or are you worried that you'll never have time to complete all your festive preparations in time for the big day? Well, you'd better stop worrying and get moving! Stabilising colours are hazelnut and blueberry. Lucky numbers are 36 and 61.
 
It's the start of December and you need to get your skates on if you want to be ready for the forthcoming festivities. If you've barely made a dent in your preparations so far, sit down and start writing out your list of what needs to be done. Be as efficient as possible, because that's the best way to avert the sense of panic that's hovering in the air and waiting to strike. Inspirational colours are gold and terracotta. Lucky numbers are 27 and 71.
 
Financial worries are never far away today, but try not to let them get out of control or you'll make yourself feel really fraught. If you're in a panic about how you're going to afford this very expensive month, you need to work out a strict budget. Above all, be realistic about what you can and can't do and don't allow panic to lead you by the nose. Beneficial colours are khaki and russet. Lucky numbers are 27 and 3.
 
Keep smiling, otherwise you'll soon be down in the dumps and feel fed up. Harness your energy as much as possible and don't squander the limited amount you have at the moment on activities that aren't worth it. You might also want to keep away from people whose idea of fun is to poke holes in what you're doing, because that's the last thing you need right now. Fortunate colours are silver and white. Lucky numbers are 13 and 14.
 
Take it easy today otherwise the most insignificant things will get you down in no time at all. If you get a difficult letter in the post or you have a tricky conversation with a loved one, your spirits will sink straight down to your ankles and stay there for the rest of the day. Life is not as tough as it seems right now, so keep reminding yourself of that fact. A bar of chocolate or a fistful of biscuits might help, too. Fortunate colours are ginger and spring green. Lucky numbers are 30 and 72.
 
This is a fantastic day for concentrating on whatever needs to be done. That might mean tackling some Christmas cards or letters, writing out a list of everything that still has to be done or getting on with other urgent work. Any form of mental activity will go well now, helped by your ability to concentrate and think clearly. What a good start to the month! Beneficial colours are dusky pink and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 15 and 73.
 
It's difficult to know whether you're being realistic or gloomy today, especially when thinking about matters dear to your heart. For instance, you might be concerned about the welfare of a relative and wonder whether you're making mountains out of molehills. So do your best to remain cheerful and positive, and not to get bogged down in nameless fears. Communicative colours are jade and brass. Lucky numbers are 19 and 43.
 
It's likely that your rather grave mood has been coloured by the current state of a relationship, perhaps because it isn't going as well as you would like or because you're feeling distanced from this person. Do your best not to worry about things that might never happen, nor to stew about problems that are little more than ancient history these days. Propitious colours are tea rose and brilliant white. Lucky numbers are 17 and 32.
 
Life seems a little bleak today but it's important to remain as positive as possible. This is simply one of those days in which everything gets on top of you, making you feel weary. If you do have something specific and urgent to worry about, it will be far better to take some constructive action even if it requires a lot of courage, than to brood and fret. Soothing colours are amethyst and fawn. Lucky numbers are 13 and 13.
 
You're in rather a downbeat mood and need cheering up. Unfortunately, that may not happen, possibly because you have a tendency to make heavy weather of everything at the moment. Money problems are particularly difficult to deal with right now because you can't help panicking and worrying about them, which prevents you taking the best course of action to solve them. Never mind, this miserable mood will soon pass. Fortuitous colours are bronze and avocado. Lucky numbers are 1 and 49.
 
It's the start of December so you need to do some serious thinking about your festive preparations. How are they coming along? If you haven't even started them yet, you'll now be gripped by a strong sense of panic. Instead of rushing around in ever-decreasing circles, make a list of tasks starting with the most important ones, and steadily work your way through it. Fortunate colours are sable and kiwifruit. Lucky numbers are 6 and 78.
 
Your mind is working really well today, so it's a great opportunity to get ahead with your Christmas preparations. Any form of writing suits you down to the ground now, so how about finishing off your Christmas cards if you haven't yet done so? And if you haven't even started them then make an effort to begin now and you'll find that things go like clockwork. Inspiring colours are moonlight blue and sunflower yellow. Lucky numbers are 15 and 31.
