"The last of life, for which the first was made." It is the house and home, the slippers warming by the hearth, concerns about retiring from active life that will be uppermost in your mind. I would even say your background, ancestry, genetic predispositions which will occupy your mind. A sense of identity - of being part of your roots - with your land! property/home is going to be paramount. A good time for doing up the home, altering and extending it, or adding on that extra-large TV/ dishwasher/microwave/DVD, or whatever takes your fancy this Christmas. Increased employment benefits/perks, a house or raise, gifts or an inheritance could be forthcoming. You will also experience an overwhelming need to re-evaluate and correct your goals and objectives, even your conversation and social interaction. This will be specially so with regard to an authority figure (boss, parents, guardians, spouse, or in-laws, to name a few) with whom relations may be strained or tense. The Sun and Uranus form a sextile in the last week of December, under whose influence your intense efforts and excellence in the work arena will bring you recognition, rewards, respect and higher status in 2004, by the grace of Ganesha.
