We know that imaginative play is key to children's development. But adults rarely indulge in this kind of activity. We stop pretending because we've got so much responsibility on our shoulders - when we're under pressure, it's hard to set time aside for that kind of creative fun. If ever there was a time to shake off the shackles that prevent you from using your imagination, surely it's New Year's Eve? If you give yourself permission to think creatively, and act on those ideas, you'll start 2026 as you mean to go on.

Your Weekly Love Focus Horoscope: Just because we're in close proximity to someone doesn't mean we're close on an emotional level. In fact, the process of being forced to be in the company of folks we don't normally choose to be with can make us want to run away. The phrase 'absence makes the heart grow fonder' can be applied to our close relationships too. When we feel a lack of freedom, we suffer, and so do those around us. This New Year week brings a refreshing break from your usual routine. It revives your appreciation of someone in your world.

It's easy to forget Christmas is a spiritual celebration. Yet, despite the commerciality, the theme behind the festivities hasn't changed over two thousand years: we still associate this time of year with peace and joy. Whether or not you believe in the existence of a deity who responds positively to your prayers, with your sensitivity and intuitive powers, you're conscious of the interconnectedness of the cosmos. This weekend, a connection with someone brings such deep understanding, it's almost like a spiritual awakening.

Christmas always brings difficult choices. We often find ourselves torn between what we feel we must do and what, in our heart, we'd like to be doing. And, since other people are involved, most of whom are struggling with the same dilemma, everyone pretends to be OK. Although your sensitivity makes you vulnerable to other people's moods - which doesn't always make you feel good, you can use your talents with great effect today. Subtly showing people that you understand how they're feeling, will create real harmony.
