Aries
As the workweek begins, you may be bringing some emotional baggage into the office or workplace with you, while toward the end you're in danger of a lack of sensitivity to others' reactions. The key is to stay balanced, to listen closely, consider carefully, and neither over- nor under-react. Your diet and exercise regimen may seem peripheral, but it's not at all so. Getting centered allows you to approach work with a healthy perspective. And while your drive to achieve is admirable, give it a rest (at least a little one) this weekend.
Taurus
Work is all about passion and purpose as the week begins, or at least it should be. If you're less than engaged, it's time to ask yourself why. Then your work philosophy is highlighted starting Wednesday. Over the next few days, it's time to think about job satisfaction beyond compensation, to create and maintain healthy interconnections and take a serious look at where your industry is going and how you can (or don't) fit into the trajectory. This line of thinking can especially take off this weekend. Don't abandon it in your free time.
Gemini
Your ability to quickly assess a situation and to think on your feet is a great asset, but this workweek requires you to buckle down, get deep, and expand your powers of concentration. Bringing the full weight of your intellect to bear is key. Go beyond your first take and incorporate info from multiple sources. The hard work you do now pays off in exponential ways. And if you're working this weekend, you'll need to deal with an interpersonal or other issue swiftly and comprehensively. Otherwise, it's highly likely to recur down the road.
Cancer
During the first few days this week, indecision isn't so much a liability as it is a crucial red flag. On the fence about an aspect of a project? Uncertain about a certain party's role or real agenda? Dubious about a commitment? Take time to reexamine thoroughly even if you have to push timelines. Then beginning around Wednesday and lasting through the weekend, you'll need to take particularly good care of yourself to keep your productivity (and morale) up. Health and exercise habits are crucial and do set up a reward or two for your motivation's sake.
Leo
Comparing and contrasting perspectives is incredibly constructive during the first couple days this week. Examine different parties' agendas, past histories, and what they say they're bringing to the table versus what you actually see on it. Then once you've got it all sorted, don't overlook the power of fun. Around Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, that's what work should be and when you're the one making it so, your stock goes way up. And a first impression is key this weekend. Is it one you're making or one being made on you?
Virgo
Beware of your perfectionist streak as the week gets under way. Yes, it's a great thing to mention as a "weak point" in an interview, but in the day to day, you'll need to set meetable goals and allow others to be human too. Then be sure to block out time for a new project, skill development, or another fresh endeavor around on Wednesday, Thursday, and/or Friday. Exploring some uncharted territory enhances your morale and performance. This weekend, your biggest challenge and your biggest opportunity are in your personal life. Block out time for that too.
Libra
You know work is about more than money, but you may need reminding as this week begins. Assess your job satisfaction in a holistic way. Then changes need to be made, inevitably and the stars favor starting now, on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Make your pitch for altering your role, moving up and/or greater compensation, or work your network for something altogether new. The positivity of responses may surprise you. And the work/life balance is in jeopardy this weekend. Make conscious choices.
Scorpio
The interpersonal angle is only one of the areas you're excelling in as the week begins. You've also got real vision now, for your own career and work as a whole. Get face time with your boss and important clients and share your latest and greatest ideas and achievements. But around Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, caution is in order. Avoid committing now and keep your moves low risk. If you're working this weekend, a particularly strong sense of determination works very much in your favor. It's a good time to take care of business.
Sagittarius
Your mood (or is it moodiness?) as the week begins may have less to do with that irritating work factor and more to do with a misalignment in your larger career picture. Are you feeling appropriately challenged? Is your passion engaged? Are your values in play? Starting Wednesday, you're better able to make some objective observations and start some serious explorations. Someone else plays a key role. Your boss, coach, or mentor? And with the weekend comes the opportunity to create and commence enacting a practical plan. Seize it.
Capricorn
This workweek is all about organization. While you're more than on top of it as the week begins, both small-scale planning and major decisions ought to come easily now. Around Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, your system may break down and your discipline may falter. Shore up your work foundations now. Why is it you're doing what you do? How do the long-term goals look from here? You need real motivation to get to the next level. After putting some hard thought into it, all can become more clear this weekend. Now your life purpose and skills intersect.
Aquarius
Work may be challenging as the week begins. Your best bet is to plug away at longer-term projects, avoid engaging in office politics and work with a partner to stay on track and mutually motivated. The energy flow improves dramatically around Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Your interpersonal skills are particularly stellar now. Assemble a dream team for a project, network like magic, and sell yourself and your ideas rather than just slogging through the days. And if you're working this weekend, have clear goals and don't waste time.
Pisces
Be proactive about getting some emotional catharsis outside of work as the week begins. Exercise in particular calms and centers you and you'll be much more confident of appropriate actions and reactions. Speaking of which, around Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, work's likely a "less said the better" situation. Ask questions and draw various parties out. They'll be impressed by your intelligence (after all, you're listening to them) while you're gathering information. Then this weekend's perfect for forming more coherent, comprehensive ideas and plans.
