Aries
Children: Somehow they figure into the beginning of your week. Maybe it's a kid you pass on your way to work. Maybe one of your own kids is on your mind. In any case, this is a good week to act a bit like a kid: creative, bold, carefree. At least until Wednesday, when some of your bold and carefree spirit might need to be pushed aside so you can address the piles of paperwork on your desk. Thursday is wall-to-wall work, but Friday you'll have the opportunity to take a long lunch with a coworker you admire. Make your time together all about them.
Taurus
The road to getting what you want through force of will is a rough one, tough on you and tough on everyone else. Take the easy way, and give an inch. Or two. This week, it's so much better to have the moral support of everyone else in the office than it is to be right. Your attachments are key these days, especially on Wednesday and Thursday. You find yourself seeing coworkers outside of the office more and more. A concert? An art opening? Very possible. By week's end, work will start to seem like just another place where all your friends like to hang out. If only everyone could be so lucky.
Gemini
The conversations around the water cooler take a turn for the intellectual at the beginning of the week. Suddenly you feel like you're in college again. What's surprising is how much fun a light debate (that has nothing to do with work) can be. Wednesday and Thursday leave you with little time for chatting with coworkers. You are calculating figures, making calls, writing emails. But Friday is another day of non-stressful banter and fun. It feels good to be so happy at work. That's what you're thinking as the weekend begins.
Cancer
Monday and Tuesday are planning days. Get out the blueprints. Get out the calendar. Get the relevant parties on the line for a video conference. They're great days, spiced up with random dispatches from your personal life: an email from a love interest, a phone call from a best friend. Then, suddenly, the week starts to feel like work. Wednesday through Friday are puzzling, difficult days. You have more natural talents than many, but the solution might be in deciding you're not going to be the one to solve a problem after all. Let go. See what happens. You'll be amazed.
Leo
You know the moment when the clouds part and a brilliant wash of light fills the world? That's what the beginning of your workweek is like. You are up to your ears in warmth and confidence. Let this shape your mood for the entire week, because Wednesday (a big day for boring duties) threatens to put you in the doldrums. Thursday your mental energy is spent reviewing budgets, but Friday's professional demands are (thankfully) more social in their scope. Which is only appropriate.
Virgo
It makes sense that the week begins in a frantic haze of papers and shouting. There is a lot to be done before the weekend, and everyone is stressed about things that have nothing to do with work. So, the more patient and flexible you can be the better. It's a surprisingly productive week for you. You may even have some extra time Wednesday or Thursday afternoon to clear off your desk (your favorite activity) in preparation for whatever project is coming your way next. Friday, you have some planning to do. Enough to warrant an extra-long lunch. Enjoy the weekend.
Libra
You know several people around the office who are good at matching individual puzzle pieces together, but you are the one with a true sense of the big picture. The onus is on you to share your excitement for the future with your colleagues. Wednesday and Thursday are great days to let others do the talking. It's amazing what you can learn simply by not saying anything. But on Friday, you'll be expounding right and left about all kinds of things. It will be a high-energy, rewarding day, followed by a high-energy, rewarding weekend.
Scorpio
Sometimes your boss is your greatest ally, but not on Monday. It's not that you're going to have a huge fight or anything, it's just that, on a meaningful level, you two see things differently right now. Be your best by not flaunting your opinions (and whatever you do, don't ask for a raise). Wednesday will be a great day (friends figure prominently) as will Thursday (one of your coworkers may confess an exciting secret). Friday is a harder day because there's a lot going on below the surface. Be patient and generous, and then get out of there. You have a weekend to think about.
Sagittarius
A bonus puts a smile on your face on Monday. Maybe it's project related or maybe it's just long overdue. In any case, the dollar amount surprises you. Tuesday is a lucky day too. You're on a winning streak right now, don't forget this come Wednesday, when a run-in with an authority figure puts a crick in your neck, or on Thursday, when someone you work with makes the crick throb. On Friday, out of the blue, some of your colleagues may announce how much they love working with you, and the compliment will warm you up and send you into the weekend with a smile.
Capricorn
The beginning of the week is brutal. Everyone is grasping for precious resources. If someone needs your stapler but you're in the middle of a massive stapling project, don't feel bad about not giving it to them. Thankfully, everything calms down a bit midweek and there's plenty of everything to go around. You'll get so much achieved by Thursday that you spend Friday dreaming up new projects. What a great way to spend the last day of the week. This weekend, if you have a busy time ahead of you, detach yourself from the chaos. Be blissfully introspective.
Aquarius
Are you fixed on your ideas because you think they are the best ideas or are you fixed on them because they're yours? This is a crucial distinction at the start of the week. Do what you need to do to keep a vital relationship intact. Extraordinary things happen when you give a little. Still, take care to make sure that the business deal you're in charge of is indeed the deal you want it to be midweek. Hammer out the details now and you won't have to worry about them later. Friday, get out of the office a bit. A walk to the coffee shop can be unbelievably productive.
Pisces
There is too much going on for you to worry about what everyone else is doing on Monday. Keep your mind focused. The current office gossip is boring anyway. A healthy lunch figures into your day Tuesday and a new relationship has all of your attention Wednesday. Thursday, in reference to a business partner, you may wonder idly who you're really dealing with. Don't let this be just an idle wonder; look into it. Friday you are thinking about money, partnerships, and new ways of doing things. Stressful stuff. Balance the busy week with an entertaining weekend.
