If you’re traveling for a fete, leave early for your destination and reconfirm bookings. Think very carefully about your New Year’s guest list. Combative Mars is also retrograde until January 12, and interactions could become heated and divisive, upsetting the general mood of your festivities. If end-of-year plans have grown overly complex, don’t force them. Even if you do pull things off “perfectly,” you could be too resentful (and exhausted!) to enjoy the fun. That’s not to say you can’t start reviewing career goals right after the New Year. Scour LinkedIn and social media. Is a former colleague crushing it? And do you see an opening for a collaboration? Send a hello note or catch up over a cup of cheer. Don’t go in with an agenda; just nurture the relationship. If nothing else, you’ll leave the casual meetup inspired, with ideas you can apply to your own ambitious plans. Check out your personal weekly horoscope here.
