Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of July 08, 2024

July 8, 2024





Aries

Monday and Tuesday are textbook. You don't feel like working, you don't know why you feel so tapped, and you make blunders. Take a step back. Consider your options. And if one of your options is to take a long lunch and go work out, do so, by all means. Exercising gives you energy and clears your head. From Wednesday through Friday, you have a much better handle on your work. Put some effort into starting new projects. This is a great time for that. If someone's grumpy about something, give them a little of your time. Their problems will dissolve in a snap.

Taurus

Take every opportunity to check in with your peers and customers early this week. Your communication style is in ascendance through Wednesday, so you should find people ready to hear what you have to say and easily swayed by your arguments. You'll be eager to keep up the good talk through the week, but as Thursday and Friday roll around, you'll find that people start to turn their attention elsewhere. You might be able to get a good brainstorming session out of it, but you'll need to make sure to include everyone. Work over the weekend will go smoothly if you're on your own.

Gemini

Coworkers think they've gotten to know you well enough to read your face in meetings, but these days they're totally off. The onus is on you to express yourself clearly or risk having to undo the damage done by miscommunication. (In the meantime, you might want to let them know they're not very adept at mind reading.) Wednesday through Friday, however, are hiccup-free when it comes to everything from communicating your thoughts to feeling good to having fun while making progress. Even taking firm action is a breeze. Identify the person you want to partner with for the future and give them your attention.

Cancer

You're a vacuum on Monday and Tuesday, roaming the office and picking up the little details that others forget. There's treasure somewhere in all of these odds and ends. Your analytical mind is perfectly suited to making the best out of what looks like rubbish. If only you were so adept at making solutions out of problems at home. From Wednesday through Friday, your home realm is giving you grief. If you find yourself thinking about domestic issues in the middle of a meeting (to the extent that you can't stay focused on what's being said), excuse yourself to gather your thoughts.

Leo

It's sometimes said that money is no object. That's not true on Monday and Tuesday, which find you necessarily more conservative than usual. It's fun to spend, sure, but it can also be fun to devise clever ways of conserving, which adds an extra challenge. From Wednesday through Friday, others are bowled over by your ingenuity. You, in turn, are thrilled that they could be so excited about something you came up with. Such good feelings have a way of leading to great things. For example: romance. It figures strongly at the end of the week and into the weekend.

Virgo

Monday and Tuesday could not be better days around the office. Whereas if last week was a blurry watercolor, today is a photorealistic oil painting in stunning color. Everything is in its place and makes sense, and seems to suggest a wonderful future. This optimism is what compels you to begin a new project (or three). From Wednesday through Friday, as excited about these new projects as you are, don't just throw a bunch of cash at them willy-nilly. It's simply not the smart thing to do. Instead, invest in the people involved. Take an interest in their ideas and let them have a say.

Libra

Let your hard feelings about coworkers turn into foam on Monday. There's no time and too much at stake to let personal differences dictate whether or not you're successful. Your ability to work with even the most impossible people on Tuesday is a testament to your value as an employee. From Wednesday through Friday, the way to inspire others is to point out the beauty in order, in one another, and in the future. You have a million resources, and the most valuable one is the collective talent in the office. The person who figures out how to leverage that will go places.

Scorpio

Making money is not what motivates you on Monday and Tuesday. What motivates you is knowledge, and a nourishing secret comes your way at the beginning of the week. It's something to chew on, and it helps you out. An aspect of the business that didn't make much sense before now seems so obvious. It's fitting that Wednesday through Friday finds you in a contemplative mood. Those are easy days, rote but not unpleasant, affording you all the time in the world to let your mind wander. That said, don't let it wander too far astray. Remain alert. You don't want to miss any new developments.

Sagittarius

People driving you crazy on Monday and Tuesday? Ignore them. Sometimes people set their sights on a person like you, a person who's making incredible progress, and stick their foot out into your path. Don't fall for that. Don't even let it get to you. From Wednesday through Friday, organize your days so you're only around the people who love you, which is a large and growing contingent. You have a better sense of where the group is going than most members of it do. Maybe even a better sense than your bosses do. Perhaps a promotion is around the corner.

Capricorn

You can accomplish an incredible amount on Monday and Tuesday without ever leaving your office. The combination of your computer, your telephone and your well-placed friends in far-off locales is unbeatable. Your curiosity is also an asset because it makes you good at research and receptive to new information. From Wednesday through Friday, your entire life, even your home life, is oriented toward work. It is all you can think about. Which is why, when everything doesn't work out exactly as you want it to, you might become frustrated. Curb your frustration. You're doing great.

Aquarius

In the first half of the week, the more energy you put toward making sure the finer points of a deal are squared away the better. Once the ball is rolling, it's nearly impossible to renegotiate the terms of a deal. And as much as you'd like to believe someone's word is enough to go on, especially if this someone is a friend, that isn't prudent at this juncture. In the second half of the week, coworkers are presenting themselves to you in surprising ways. You are coerced into sharing more about yourself than you usually do, and while it feels risky, it also feels right.

Pisces

Proceed on Monday and Tuesday with the knowledge that you don't have as much information as you'd like, and you may need to change course as you go. There are several advantages to taking this tack. First of all, momentum. Second of all, your critical nature is in overdrive, so things you're certain are setbacks may not turn out not to be at all. Third, your coworkers could use a project right now. From Wednesday through Friday, predictable challenges arise (certain people aren't as easy to work with as you'd hoped), but you enjoy the pace and the newness.
