Someone may regale you with flattery and praise at the very beginning of December, and naturally, that should be quite uplifting. However, you happen to be a pretty skeptical person, dear Scorpio, and it is not easy for you to trust such displays of flattery. You are encouraged to trust in it! Don't let a lack of confidence cause you to assume that someone's compliments are not genuine or undeserved. Assume that they are instead and allow yourself to feel great about it. A negotiation at work or in a money-related deal might become contentious if you allow a personality clash to dictate the terms you will agree to. Try to set aside any personal conflicts and deal solely with the issue at hand, and you will come away with a much better agreement than you would otherwise. You may find yourself struggling in a new or newer endeavor around the middle of the month. Don't let that make the experience feel negative, and don't let it cause disillusionment. Getting this right will be mostly about building the correct routine and starting to feel comfortable with what you are working on. Once you ease into a rhythm, it will be so much easier and more enjoyable. You may have the chance to speak your mind about a matter that is annoying you. This could happen very late in December, and with someone whom you find very difficult to talk to. Don't hold back from saying what you're thinking, but do speak in a way that is respectful and caring, and that will help you to achieve the result you are hoping for.
