Your Weekly Work Horoscope for The Week of May 06, 2024

May 6, 2024





Aries

Monday is slow going, like a lot of Mondays, but recognize the power of slow and steady progress. On Tuesday, if you have to be forceful with someone, don't forget to be tactful. Agreeability is in the stars. Wednesday and Thursday are agreeable without your having to try, and they also happen to move at a much faster pace; and this, in turn, motivates you. But on Friday and into the weekend, the emphasis in your life is on the family realm and work is pretty far from your mind. The best way to spend your time might be to organize your desk.

Taurus

You may find yourself incredibly drawn to someone you work with on Monday and Tuesday. If you're single, excellent, but if you're not, find a professional way to indicate that things need to remain professional. You can be depended on, which is why when you're feeling out of character on Wednesday and Thursday you should let everyone know. You're in a funny space and feeling impulsive. Don't sign anything binding right now. On Friday, your mood settles and you find yourself talking about your feelings among a group of colleagues you like and trust. They respond well.

Gemini

You have the focus of a spelling bee champion on Monday and Tuesday, or maybe a beekeeper. Your stillness is incredible and stands in contrast to the swarming chaos around you. Don't cut off the lines of communication, but don't indulge in the madness either. On Wednesday and Thursday, the office atmosphere settles to a more comfortable hubbub, and a conversation you have with a new employee reveals to you a lot about yourself. On Friday, money (that is, the lack thereof) is a prevailing theme, and it falls on you to find ways to save it.

Cancer

Time and money are precious resources, yes, but creative intelligence is even more precious on Monday. The ideas you come up with at work are extremely valuable right now, so make them good! On Tuesday, you become something of an idea machine, spitting out one after the next. Not all of them will be used, but that's okay. On Wednesday and Thursday, you are frankly overwhelmed, because in the wake of so many ideas comes a host of new projects, many of which you're in some way responsible for. It isn't until Friday that you really cozy up to how much fun it is to see things through.

Leo

It isn't very long into Monday when you realize that a circle of coworkers is standing around you, hanging on your every word. This happens to you with some regularity, but it never fails to surprise you. It's great. On Tuesday your ego and your reputation are major preoccupations, but on Wednesday and Thursday, you turn outward and engage with people you really admire. It occurs to you late in the week that other people interest you more right now than you interest yourself, and that's healthy. On Friday, your priority is making others happy and inspiring goodwill. Work is a breeze.

Virgo

Get out of your own head on Monday and Tuesday by experiencing something utterly foreign. If you can't hop a flight around the world, at least spend time with someone who leads a vastly different kind of life than you do. Achievements in the personal realm are in the stars and will lead to success at work. Wednesday and Thursday could be great days or the worst days of the week, depending entirely on how you look at things and how you play your cards. Then, Friday is a blast: The energy is off the charts and work feels more like a party, a party with a purpose.

Libra

Let the beauty around you be a source of inspiration. Use it as an example of something in a meeting, or take a walk through a park in lieu of a coffee meeting, or buy a small plant for a colleague. Monday and Tuesday are challenging. Let thoughtfulness and charm be your trump cards. On Wednesday and Thursday, relationships are more important than anything, so find a way to share any fun tasks that come your way with the people around you. On Friday, you're doing so many things at once you barely have a chance to look up, much less chat, but your weekend is harmonious and beautiful.

Scorpio

This person you're up against on Monday and Tuesday might be more sure of their opinion than you are of yours. Their opposition is frustrating, but the way to overcome it might be, paradoxically, to give in. When all is said and done, the record will reflect where you stood. On Wednesday and Thursday, when it comes to contracts and details (and, especially, other people's money), be as careful as possible so as not to miss anything. On Friday and continuing into the weekend, things will finally start to go your way. No need to be controlling, what with the world aligning so well with what you want.

Sagittarius

Your talent for communicating corresponds directly to your ability to be successful on Monday and Tuesday. As the saying goes, it isn't what you say, it's how you say it, and this week the way to say things is with kindness. The more exact you are when complimenting someone, the more your compliment will be appreciated. Wednesday and Thursday are particularly challenging vis-à-vis others. What with everything happening at once, there's almost no time for pleasantries. Make time. On Friday, you might be operating at a different energy level than everyone else. It happens sometimes.

Capricorn

It's okay to have fun. In fact, it makes good business sense on Monday and Tuesday. The more you enjoy being around your colleagues, the better you'll be able to work together. Loyalty and relaxation are key themes at the start of the week, but Wednesday and Thursday will be about as far from relaxed as you can get. You'll be cutting conversations short simply because you don't have the time. Be polite about it and others will see your shortness as nothing more than an indication of how much you're getting done. Though you may be sitting at your desk on Friday, your mind is elsewhere.

Aquarius

A strange occurrence marks the beginning of a major discovery at the start of the week. It will take a few days for you to figure out what it all means, so let yourself be confused on Monday and Tuesday. Be a patient investigator. Wednesday and Thursday are unique as well, mostly because a romantic lens has been placed over everything, simultaneously distracting you and boosting your mood. On Friday, there's no way out of your responsibilities, so go at them with all you've got. If you can get some tasks done while wearing headphones, wear headphones. Don't think. Just do.

Pisces

Words are your secret weapon on Monday and Tuesday. Emails, phone conversations, video posts, business proposals, advertising copy, and a host of other applications of language dominate. Strive to be the poet of the office, the person with the right words for any reason. Wednesday and Thursday require a bit of creativity as well. They are days when tasks that involve you sitting at your desk and coming up with things suits you best. Friday is creative as well, although in ways that have little to do with work. Come five, you're outta there.
