Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of July 29, 2024

July 29, 2024





Aries

You know the saying "less is more"? Make that your mantra on Monday and Tuesday. As far as Mondays and Tuesdays go, this week's aren't bad. You're full of energy, fairly inspired, not too stressed, and challenged in ways you like. Wednesday and Thursday, on the other hand, are challenging in ways you're not too fond of, but work isn't the issue. The issue is grounded in the personal or family realm. On Friday, just as the workweek is drawing to a close, things start to go really well on every front, especially at work. You're practically showing off at this point.

Taurus

Planning important long-term projects isn't the best use of your energy on Monday and Tuesday. Try focusing on someone's face instead. See if you can figure out what they aren't saying in addition to what they are. Your ability to anticipate other people's needs sets you apart from the masses and makes you particularly valuable. On Wednesday and Thursday, continue along the communication theme. People, not projects, take priority. And Friday brings about the biggest challenge in communicating you've faced in a while. Call upon your heroic tolerance to finish your week on a good note.

Gemini

You encounter more people than you can keep straight on Monday and Tuesday, and, increasingly, keeping them straight is important. Moreover, they're people you like, people you could enjoy spending time with in your nonwork hours. (Well, some of them, at least!) On Wednesday and Thursday, you're too focused on the vicissitudes of your bank account to give the people around you their due, so make up for that on Friday. In fact, Friday is all about demonstrating to the people you work with how much you like them. Carry this energy forward into the rest of your life this weekend.

Cancer

There may be a long tradition of doing things a certain way at your workplace, but that doesn't mean you should stop innovating. You have a talent for innovation, especially on Monday and Tuesday. You're good at reconsidering something in a real way, and for sharing your discoveries to change people's minds. On Wednesday and Thursday, new beginnings are a theme thanks to you, and you come to recognize the stress of being the one who had the idea for something in the first place. It's a good sort of stress to get used to. On Friday, you have your sights on bigger and bigger goals.

Leo

What you need at work is an excuse to see something in a whole new way. Maybe drawing a funny picture on the conference room whiteboard will jog everyone's imagination. Maybe you should choreograph an interpretive dance. Whatever you do, make it unexpected, and expect your colleagues to respond in unexpected ways. On Wednesday and Thursday, you're more conservative in your manner, but you're still glowing from inside with ideas. By Friday, you're practically a source of natural light. People are shielding their eyes from your glare. You're a veritable lighthouse this weekend too.

Virgo

There's really no way to say how Monday and Tuesday will go for you at work, what with all the variables at play. What can be said confidently is that your happiness is entirely within your control. On Wednesday and Thursday, you're energized by being around other people, so pile as many into your car as possible. It isn't until Friday that you take a step back and think that maybe you need some alone time. And by all means, take some. After all, there are some overbearing people at work (on Friday) and in your personal life (this weekend).

Libra

Someone you really get along with, someone you have an intuitive sense for and a lot in common with, makes Monday and Tuesday a blast at work. You're able to inspire each other in a way that isn't hokey at all. And because you're getting so much done, you don't feel bad about the goofing around you're also doing. Wednesday and Thursday are pretty much devoid of goofing around (you can turn it off when you need to), but Friday is like a music video in the office. You're whistling pop songs, people are skipping out of the elevator. Who knew work could be such a party?

Scorpio

When you're dealing with company money, all of the rules change. Keep in mind as you're making a decision on Monday or Tuesday that you'll have to speak for your actions at some point, and having a hunch for something now isn't going to sound very business savvy later. So leave your hunches in the elevator. On Wednesday and Thursday, your intuitive powers serve you well, but mostly in the interpersonal realm. Try not to control a situation. If you let go, everyone will be happier. That said, there's nothing that will make the boss happy on Friday. Do your best and don't call much attention to yourself.

Sagittarius

The best thing to do on Monday and Tuesday is to keep busy, but this is contrary to your nature early in the week. You're longing for meaningful, rewarding connections with your colleagues. Don't put other things on hold waiting though, because this just isn't in the stars until the end of the week. In the meantime, expect to be on a different planet than everyone else. Luckily, it's an amazingly productive planet. On Wednesday and Thursday, your ability to be successful directly corresponds to your ability to respond to unforeseen situations. At last, Friday comes around. Glorious, meaningful, wonderful Friday.

Capricorn

Don't be afraid to cut lots of verbiage out of a business document at the start of the week. Sometimes more words only lead to more confusion. And if it turns out later that you need some of those words back, well, that's easy. Efficiency is at a premium all week. If there's a new person in the office on Wednesday or Thursday, consider them the priority and don't worry about making small talk with the regular crowd. Friday is not the most relaxing day of your career, but it flies by. Expect your coworkers to be running around complaining that they don't have the time they need.

Aquarius

Monday and Tuesday are utterly unique. Hard to describe and wonderful. There's a charge in the office not unlike the feeling of falling in love. (It could be that an actual romantic situation is afoot, in which case you won't be able to keep your mind on work.) The sinking feeling that hits you as you come into the office on Wednesday is just the sensation of everything returning to normal. That said, Thursday is strangely emotional. Stop thinking so much and bury yourself in your work. A stunning discovery, like the discovery of diamonds in a forgotten mine, awaits you on Friday.

Pisces

Once you're planted in your chair on Monday you're not going to want to move. How much can you get done without getting up? Remarkably, a lot. Tuesday's the same. The phone and your email are your life. By Wednesday, it's time to get out from under your desk. Contrive to get out of the office. You may need to be creative in your excuses. On Thursday, something wonderful happens when you're out and about (although it might not have anything to do with work). On Friday, if your coworkers are driving you crazy, take a stand. The boss will approve.
