Aries
You're a success on Monday. A star. The staff at a business magazine should put you on the cover and interview you about your secrets. The biggest secret is pretty simple: you're interested in other people, in working together, in activating other talents. That's why, when you experience an out-of-character turn toward introspection on Tuesday and Wednesday, you get out of it by focusing all the energy you have toward others. Smart move. On Thursday and Friday, you're initiating new things left and right: new relationships, new projects, maybe even whole new companies.
Taurus
Monday is potentially disheartening. The whole tenor of a struggle at work, not only what the struggle is about but what it reveals about the people involved, makes you feel, well, disheartened. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you're ripe for a long, honest conversation with someone who knows you well enough to be helpful. You're in need of golden advice. On Thursday and Friday, you're eager to implement a big change, but moving quickly isn't the way to go. Think it all the way through. Take your time. You reflect on your new plan with a sense of relief this weekend.
Gemini
Some transformations take an entire lifetime; others seem to transpire within seconds. A small, immediate transformation takes place on Monday. You once saw something one way and now you see it very differently. Spend Tuesday and Wednesday reflecting on what this means. You're happy to be enlightened and, by the same measure, you're curious about what other gaps exist in your knowledge, gaps you aren't aware of. On Thursday and Friday, figure out a clever way to get your colleagues talking. You have a lot to teach each other.
Cancer
When it comes to creating budgets, there's bound to be conflict, because funds directly correlate with a person's ability to do their job. Plus, budgets make the hierarchy of priorities plain to see. This leads to Monday's tension. Tuesday and Wednesday are more relaxed and casual. You have plenty of time to pursue your whims (which is a good thing for your long-term career). On Thursday and Friday, your interactions with authority are beset by friction, so avoid authority figures (bosses especially). But this weekend? Everyone's thrilled to see you.
Leo
The calm, patient approach is best on Monday. You could jump down someone's throat for something they most likely can't help, or you could make the best of a tough situation and wait it out until you figure out a clever way around it. On Tuesday and Wednesday, everything that appears gold is merely gold-plated. Keep this in the back of your head. Thursday and Friday are driven by the personalities of some new employees. It's fascinating how much you learn about yourself in the course of learning about someone else. Your career is at the forefront of your thoughts this weekend.
Virgo
On Monday, you dazzle yourself when you figure out new ways to be critical without being annoying. Others don't even think of you as being critical; they think of you as being helpful. Well done! On Tuesday and Wednesday, keep it up, and put some energy toward organizing the details that others are letting fall by the wayside. Again, you're just being helpful. So no grumbling! (Are they sloppy? Perhaps. Is accusing them of being sloppy going to help matters? Of course not.) On Thursday and Friday, everyone is high-strung and ready for the week to be over. The slightest mishap might set someone off.
Libra
You're having so much fun at work on Monday that you barely remember you're working, which is how it should be. If you do what you enjoy, the saying goes, you'll never work a day in your life. Tuesday and Wednesday, unfortunately, feel indisputably like work. You're faced with millions of little tasks, not enough time, and a boss breathing down your neck. Happily, Thursday and Friday give you an excuse to spend almost all of your time around one person, a partner of sorts, and this is someone you really enjoy your time with. Think of how to capitalize on your respective strengths and you two might get to work together all the time.
Scorpio
Something outside of work is casting a shadow over Monday, making it incredibly difficult to concentrate. Share your frustrations with a coworker and you'll feel less alone. (You might also get some good advice.) It isn't until Tuesday or Wednesday that work takes center stage in your life. And it's very much a stage this week, a talent show of sorts. A certain trick of yours is going to surprise and delight everyone, including your boss. On Thursday and Friday, if you're at a loss for what progress you can make with your own projects, help out on someone else's.
Sagittarius
You understand things before they're fully explained to you on Monday. That's how ahead of everyone else you are. It's no secret that you're smart. Plus, you're in a creative mood. That's a potent combination. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you're in the laboratory, working out hypothetical situations, projecting the future, scheming. This is useful work, but you're not going to be able to explain it to coworkers on Thursday and Friday unless you find a way to make the information approachable. If you can make a game of it, that will help. Games figure strongly toward the end of the week.
Capricorn
Financial matters dominate on Monday. Creativity, expressing oneself, the power in relationships between people, optimism, all of these are also important to the bottom line, but they're less important on Monday than they are on Tuesday and Wednesday. A well-worded email figures strongly in the middle of the week. Thursday and Friday find you uncharacteristically worried about just about everything under the sun. It's true that in business there are a number of unknown variables, but that's what makes business fun. Relax.
Aquarius
You couldn't ask for a better opening to the week than you get on Monday. It's full of vitality, sunshine, exciting challenges, and (it must be said) attractive people. They're coworkers or business partners or simply people driving in their cars en route to work. Whatever the case, you're attuned to the beauty around you, which keeps you attentive even through the mundane middle of the week. On Thursday and Friday, your attention to things outside of yourself leads you to an awesome discovery.
Pisces
You want to do more things than you're able to accomplish on Monday, which is a good thing. It sets up a driving force for the week, a desire for progress, an urgency. On Tuesday and Wednesday, you have enough energy to power a car, which is why you're doing so much more than your regular office tasks. You're dreaming big, and you're sharing your ideas with other people. On Thursday and Friday, all of your ideas are suddenly compromised by a cloud of uncertainty. But if you're wise, you'll stick to your guns and see what happens. A little uncertainty never hurt anyone.
