Aries March 21 - April 19
You re not thinking about this the right way. At the start of the week, rather than viewing the situation from your perspective, consider how the other person sees things. A few confusing pieces of the puzzle will suddenly lock into place. If Wednesday and Thursday are a bit slower than you'd like, well, don't let your ambitions get the best of you. Aggressiveness is great, but you won't make significant progress until Friday. The good news is that the strides will last through the weekend, when you'll be charting new terrain. People will discuss building statues in your honor. On Sunday, be the early bird.
Taurus April 20 - May 20
Not a lot has changed. The only thing that separates Monday and Tuesday from last week is your attitude. But oh, what a difference that makes! Even the most boring aspects of your job seem like high adventure. Wednesday is super-weird, both from an emotional and a monetary perspective, and the weirdness takes on more weight and dimension on Thursday. Friday? Friday's a party. Friday is the day when your social prowess comes to the fore and you ooze charm. Saturday and Sunday find you in a philosophical mode, challenging your assumptions and asking good questions.
Gemini May 21 - June 21
You may feel overwhelmed at the start of the week. You have a lot on your plate. Giving a small project to someone else could not only free up your energy for other tasks, but it could also communicate a certain level of trust in this other person's skills. If they take the assignment as a compliment, everyone wins. Wednesday and Thursday are more about strategic moves than tactical ones -- you're thinking rather than doing -- but Friday you're a go-getter. You're a deal maker, a ringleader, a star. Saturday and Sunday, to get what you want, use tact. Be circumspect. Preaching only makes things tense.
Cancer June 22 - July 22
The truth is, Monday and Tuesday won't be the smoothest days you've ever encountered. You'll have some hills ahead of you, and for every up, there's a commensurate down. The best you can do is throw your energy into the projects at hand. Wednesday and Thursday won't be the right days for signing paperwork -- as a matter of fact, they won't be right for committing to anything binding. On Friday, as much as you think you'd like to kick up your heels, you'll be happier taking off your shoes and resting on a pile of pillows. Play some music. Forget your obligations this weekend. Daydream.
Leo July 23 - August 22
You're tidy in all things at the start of the week. You're careful to make sure your new purchases are carefully unwrapped. You like your friends to agree with you, but don't be afraid to spill your guts a little. Let your thoughts be in disarray. You feel good, and that feeling is going to last even through Wednesday, when you suspect that someone has impure motives. Thursday is admittedly a self-centered day, and on Friday and Saturday, an explosion of romance alters your emotional landscape. Whether it s a temporary or permanent change is unclear. On Sunday, just enjoy the experience.
Virgo August 23 - September 22
Life is a swimming pool on Monday. Jump in. Make a lot of waves. Splash around. This feeling of immersion is utterly joyful. You may be so caught up in the fun of it that on Tuesday you buy something on impulse, something you don t really need. But it s the spirit of the acquisition that counts. On Wednesday and Thursday, your intellectual curiosity leads you to an unexpected place, or at the very least it leads to someone confessing a loaded secret. Friday brings more revelations. You have big plans for the weekend, but almost none of them are possible, what with your family obligations.
Libra September 23 - October 22
Could Monday and Tuesday be any better? It's unlikely. First of all, love is in the air. It s in every step you take -- you have a lift, a bounce, magic. Flirting figures strongly, and beauty abounds. The attention you receive from others is flattering, but it s almost too much to handle. You may even find yourself turning inward on Wednesday or Thursday -- or at least turning toward serious projects, such as a financial one -- as a means of deflection. Rarely have you felt as idealistic as you do on Friday, and the more you discuss your ideas this weekend, the more inspired you feel.
Scorpio October 23 - November 21
You're weighing your options. If you sometimes have trouble making decisions, Monday and Tuesday you're flat-out unable. Giving in to someone else is the best thing to do, even if that involves admitting a small amount of defeat. Don't fret about how it may reflect on you, because Wednesday and Thursday you re surrounded by a kind of magic halo and no one sees you in anything except the most flattering light. On Friday, or sometime this weekend, let a friend take you somewhere, whether it's to the mall or on a road trip. Whatever the plan is, say yes.
Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
You find yourself in large gatherings on Monday and Tuesday. You're loved by the people you work with, and the people you socialize with and even people you barely know. Others are taking their cues from you, which gives you a unique social power. Use it toward the greater good. On Wednesday and Thursday, your mental energy is spent on trying to assemble the big picture, which is a task perhaps best done alone, with classical music in the background. On Friday, friendship and joviality are once again the order of the day. Your incredible confidence propels Saturday and Sunday.
Capricorn December 22 - January 19
You have almost no time to ask for anything on Monday and Tuesday, what with all that everyone else is asking of you. You love to be needed, but too much work is simply too much work. If you'd like help, holler. On Wednesday, a trusted pal comes to the rescue. Thursday is a fine day to make a decision -- trust your instincts, cross your fingers -- and Friday the fates conspire to leave you feeling optimistic, idealistic and happy. Saturday and Sunday, your big plans may not seem plausible (for this or that small reason), but anything is possible. Keep going.
Aquarius January 20 - February 18
The person you connect with most deeply on Monday isn't whom you expect it to be. Chemistry is a funny thing. On Tuesday, deepen this newfound friendship by confessing something personal, and see what kind of response you get. Wednesday and Thursday aren't very noteworthy in the social realm because of pressing work matters -- matters that may start to take their toll on you emotionally. That, in turn, may affect your social life. Everything is interrelated. Friday finds you taking an organizational role among your friends. Maybe there's a party at your place this weekend?
Pisces February 19 - March 20
The challenge that faces you at the start of the week is particularly tricky, because it involves someone who's been at your side when you've dealt with challenges before. Somehow this person has become the challenge. Partnerships can be mercurial. Stand your ground. Insist on getting what's owed to you. But, if possible, don't make it personal. Wednesday and Thursday find you taking a stand with others as well -- and, again, the more you keep it on the up-and-up, the easier it is. Whatever happens, give people the benefit of the doubt on Friday and through the weekend. Luck is on your side.
