Aries
Those who expect you to charge ahead at the beginning of the week will end up impressed by your insistence that all the details be in order prior to proceeding. Avoiding a big glitch gets you bonus points. Leave home concerns at home on Wednesday and Thursday, and put on your game face at work. Even if you don't feel like chatting, you're good at making connections now. On Friday and through the weekend, your powers of concentration are intense, and you'll find an opportunity that someone else missed.
Taurus
The business world can be rough, and though you might be loath to admit it, you need some nurturing now. Plan time with loved ones and book a massage, for your own good and the good of your career. By Wednesday and Thursday, you're plunging back into the fray, and your recharged batteries make you shine bright. You're especially good in group and/or social situations, so call that meeting and entertain those clients. On Friday, conduct some in-depth analysis of your latest initiative. Take a little work home this weekend. You'll be amazingly productive.
Gemini
A conservative approach is warranted on Monday and Tuesday, especially if you're charged with conveying a message (whether in-house or to the public or clients). Choose your words carefully, and remember that less is often more. Midweek finds you with a plethora of ideas for new projects or for optimizing existing ones. Be ready to delegate since there's no way to follow through on all of them yourself. Call it like you see it from Friday through the weekend. Unlike the beginning of this week, bluntness is in order.
Cancer
They're lining up for your expertise and possibly even for personal advice. You'll need to balance consulting for the projects of others with getting your own tasks out of the way at the beginning of the week. Let someone else handle clients or the public on Wednesday and Thursday. You've got longer-term strategizing to take care of, and it's mission critical. It's pretty much inevitable that you'll bring some work home this weekend. If not, a panicked call could take you back into the office anyway. On the upside, you're so productive that you might be able to take some time off next week.
Leo
You're shining the full beam of your attention on an important project at the week's outset, exposing its flaws so they can be remedied before rollout and also highlighting its particular genius. Expect praise for this one, if not a bonus. If there's PR to deal with on Wednesday or Thursday, you're all over it. You might even find yourself in the limelight (and you love that). From Friday through the weekend, slow and steady analysis wins the race. It might not be the most exciting work mode, but the payoff is well worth it.
Virgo
You could be fighting for a lost cause at the beginning of the week. Know when to say when. You can always revamp and try again later. Voice your concerns about a project while it's in the early stages on Wednesday or Thursday. Your perceptions are spot-on, but your words may still go unheeded. Document it in an email so you can at least say "I told you so." From Friday through the weekend, you've got an uncanny ability to ascertain what the real issue is while others flounder around with superfluous stuff. Sharing your analysis should also get better results now.
Libra
Those files (electronic or otherwise) you've kept can save the day on Monday or Tuesday, and the fact that you know exactly where everything is earns you kudos. Remembering a fact or figure at a crucial moment is the icing on the cake. You might be asked to take center stage in a meeting midweek, and you shouldn't hesitate. You're a natural performer now. Take advantage of it to promote your own agenda as well. From Friday through the weekend, get extra savvy about your industry with some above-and-beyond research. It will put you in excellent stead next week.
Scorpio
Get all your ducks in a row prior to launching a new project at the beginning of the week. Your passion alone, while considerable, won't suffice. A detailed plan is necessary to get the green light. Then, on Wednesday or Thursday, run some tests or conduct a focus group. The sooner you identify and address problem areas, the more airtight your end results will be. Better plan to work this weekend, but not because of a crisis. You're just a natural in all business areas now, and it would be a pity to waste your incredible skills.
Sagittarius
The daily routine is usually your least favorite part of work, but you're digging into it with gusto on Monday and Tuesday. In fact, you're so efficient that you'll beat a deadline or get ahead on a recurring task. Look for business inspiration from unusual quarters midweek. Something you experience in your personal life has synergistic implications for your world of work as well. All you have to do is make the cognitive leap. On Friday or this weekend, you're giving some thought to the broader meaning and course of your career. Make a long-term plan that gets you fired up.
Capricorn
You have a coworker's back at the beginning of the week. They could use your support, expertise, or protection, and it's good for your business karma to lend it now. On Wednesday and Thursday, your management skills are at their best. Offering to head up a new project gives you the opportunity to strut your stuff. If you've got your eye on a promotion, work toward it consciously now. Expect an insight about your industry or career path this weekend, perhaps related to how to deal with something (or someone) that's holding you back.
Aquarius
It's all for one and one for all in the business world at the beginning of the week. If you can get your team on the same page and pulling together, there's very little you can't accomplish. Then on Wednesday and Thursday, step back and take stock. A little midstream analysis might seem to slow your progress, but in the end it will significantly shorten your timeline. From Friday through the weekend, the nuts and bolts of your industry occupy you. Never fear. You'll get back to the high-concept stuff soon enough.
Pisces
Your fine-tuned sense of the etiquette of a work situation is exactly what's required at the beginning of the week. Speak up and ensure that everyone on your team is comporting themselves appropriately. Midweek, you can attain an objective point of view on an aspect of work that you've been too close to, emotionally speaking. Forward motion in a surprising direction is the beneficial result. If you have to work this weekend, you'll actually get a lot more satisfaction out of it than you'd think possible.
