December forecast for Dragon

Your efforts are leading to encouraging results this month. Yet you still need to think about what to say to whom and when. If there is something you need to be on your guard about, it is that you might say something that would hinder the progress you have made. The jolly Christmas spirit will naturally make you feel more carefree, but stay away from being careless when you come to making conversation.

Others are just as entitled to their opinions as you are, so there is no need to be heavy handed when others hold a different point of view. Disagree if you must but avoid becoming entrenched in your standpoint and turning a difference of opinion into a forceful conflict. Even if you feel you hold power or in some way hold the upper hand, exercise your clout wisely. You will make more of a statement by demonstrating a generosity of spirit than by being domineering. Allow others to have the freedom to express themselves as much as you cherish the freedom to be your eccentric self.

Love

Deep feelings come to the surface during this Rat month. Not only will you be wearing your heart on your sleeve, you will be wearing a T-shirt with your heartfelt feelings written in big letters for all to see. This might be a bit scary for a new love but for an established couple, it is a wonderful acknowledgement of how much love there is between you.

Career

The next step up on the ladder is within your sights. You need to watch the competition and see if you can find an opening that has been missed, so you can move forwards ahead of the crowd. Rivals might be slow to react because of the festive ambience so make the most of getting a step ahead.

Money

Remaining vigilant with outgoings will help you sail through the month steadily. The impulse to spend on something slightly crazy will creep up when you least expect it, so best to go shopping accompanied with a friend who is not afraid to question your taste and judgement before you part with your notes and coins.
