You are captivated by material objects right now, drawn to fashion and the arts. Balance your budget to make sure that you have the resources to travel and enjoy food and fun with family. Effective communication means both speaking wisely and listening carefully so make sure you are doing both in your relationships. Today domestic issues and work concerns are on your mind. You vacillate between feelings of intense love and hate, though concern for loved ones matters more to you than personal gain. You will find a balance between work and family, self confidence and lack of trust. Keep your cool. Anger would undo all the good work of the past few weeks.

A money conversation could get a little slippery today thanks to a complicated connection between indulgent Venus and foggy Neptune. You may be tempted to smooth things over by playing the diplomat—splitting costs or profits evenly just to keep the peace—but is that actually fair? If someone has put in significantly more effort, the numbers should reflect it. No need to nickel-and-dime, but clarity now will prevent awkwardness later. As the year winds down, settle debts and outstanding invoices so finances don’t cast a shadow over your holiday cheer.
