Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of July 15, 2024

July 15, 2024





Aries

Monday is not the most comfortable day at work. Your chair may be partly to blame (is it possible to get something more ergonomic?), but the bigger problem is awkwardness and possibly aggression between you and your colleagues. This is no way to go about your days. On Tuesday and Wednesday, take matters into your own hands. Come into the office with a whole new attitude even if you have to fake it. Don't hold on to any negative thoughts about anyone else. Think of this as a new beginning. The more you inspire everyone else, the bigger your successes will be on Thursday and Friday.

Taurus

There's energy in the office on Monday, that's for sure. But it's not an ideal energy. A river of emotion is running through your workplace, and you're a boulder in the middle of it. Tuesday and Wednesday give you opportunities to get out of the crazy onward rush and gain a sense of perspective, but the more you understand about what's happening, the more you understand that it's incredibly complicated. There's no easy solution. Thursday and Friday, the work narrative notwithstanding, you're grounded and happy.

Gemini

Get out your magnifying glass on Monday, and maybe also a flashlight and a notebook. Brace yourself: Your fact-finding initiative may take a while. But getting frustrated early on will only make you less productive. On Tuesday and Wednesday, a work partner has the perfect solution to a persistent problem (but it's incumbent upon you to draw it out of them). On Thursday and Friday, a ripple in your relationship with this partner can be expected. Suddenly you're reminded that not everyone shares the same long-term goals. The more honesty you get out of this person the better.

Cancer

You're essentially useless on Monday. You present a passive face to the world, but that belies what's really going on. Within your mind, you're on a teetering seesaw, utterly indecisive about your next move. On Tuesday and Wednesday, cut yourself some slack. Let your days be lazy. Thursday and Friday could go either way, happiness-wise, but if you're on the ball and aware that you might not be coming across the way you intend, you're more likely to do well. On Saturday and Sunday, put a moratorium on your own feelings and lose yourself in the pages of a book.

Leo

If something doesn't quite make sense on Monday, put it under a microscope and fuss with the settings until you see all the rich, colorful details. Not that you need to be familiar with every one of these details, but at this stage you don't know which are crucial and which can be ignored. Tuesday and Wednesday blow you away. Lots of smiling. Lots of romance. Expect your professional realm to benefit from these good tides. On Thursday and Friday, you're more receptive to other people than usual. You're more curious about their approach to work and much more open to renovating your own habits.

Virgo

Reassessment is the order of the day on Monday. Goals that once seemed so shining and achievable are revealed to be further away than you initially thought, and your sense of other people is changing as well. These sudden shifts in perspective make you slightly woozy, but by the middle of the week you're taking the turns as they come. As any seasoned driver will tell you, keeping your eyes trained on the middle of the road is the way to make it through a winding pass. On Thursday and Friday, you find yourself unwittingly having achieved something you thought impossible. Hilarious!

Libra

Monday is a day taken straight from a movie about the corporate world: the meetings, the bar graphs in the conference room, the way people are dressed. Meanwhile, you're weighing the benefits of stinginess against the benefits of generosity, and your conclusions are surprising you. Share what you're thinking on Tuesday and Wednesday, even if what you have to say cuts against the general thinking around the office; in fact, if that's the case, all the better. Thursday and Friday find you asserting yourself very little, what with a heap of personal distractions filling your thought bubbles.

Scorpio

You're not so shallow that you need people to shower you with compliments, but you do like it when someone makes it clear that they respect you. Monday's full of subtle indications of exactly that. It's inspiring. It makes you want to be a better person (and employee). On Tuesday and Wednesday, you're going to have to stick to your instincts, no matter how much that requires going against the tide. The mob mentality has a way of overwhelming you. On Thursday and Friday, you're more directed than you have been in a while, and you're happier about your interactions with associates.

Sagittarius

The movie in your mind is out of focus on Monday. You have a sense of where things are heading, but the specifics elude you. Your imagination is doing a lot of the work. Take pleasure in this. Tuesday and Wednesday are very much about your social life. And, as it happens, your social life and your work life are not mutually exclusive these days. On Thursday and Friday, as focused as you are on not spending money, you're also thinking a lot about music and art. As far as cerebral activity is concerned, this is an unusual combination. The truth is that you're thinking about all kinds of things.

Capricorn

Someone you adore, a good friend or a romantic partner, stops by work on Monday and everything changes. On the other hand, nothing changes, at least nothing that anyone else would notice. Certain people just have a way of making any day better. Tuesday and Wednesday are smooth sailing (if never-ending), but Thursday and Friday provide plenty of examples of why you love what you do. They also give you an excuse to boast (in a way that doesn't seem like boasting). Not that you love to boast. But like the next person, you don't mind a little professional recognition.

Aquarius

Monday is like walking through a river in knee-high rubber boots. It takes more time and strength than you would think. Whatever concerns you have about the pace of your progress, set them aside for now. On Tuesday and Wednesday, it dawns on you that, for the time being, the speed of your projects is not nearly as important as the quality of the relationships you make along the way. But on Thursday and Friday, you're not cut out for relationship building. You're not even cut out for small talk. You have too many things to do before the weekend! (And it will be a great weekend, by the way.)

Pisces

On Monday, you're better off keeping your feet out of the water, rather than putting your toes in and having one of the sharks bite them off. A convoluted metaphor, yes, but you get the idea. There's a lot bubbling to the surface this week, but it's impossible to tell from the bubble pattern what exactly is going on down there. A question mark is suspended over your head all day on Wednesday. It isn't until Thursday that work becomes decipherable, easier, and more enjoyable. On Friday and this weekend, you get a workout helping others.
