Aries
Be healthy early in the week. The mind/body balance is important for your productivity now. The stars favor getting new projects and plans off the ground on Tuesday or Wednesday; run it by the right people and an even bigger green light than you expect could be the result. Taking an aggressive approach is tempting at the end of the week, but renewing a relationship might be an even smarter move. Make an overture that'll take 'em by surprise. This weekend, do a little independent R and D, but also make time for some R and R. Once again, it's all about balance.
Taurus
You can ace a presentation early in the week, so volunteer where you might usually let someone else do the honors. Consider starting a fitness routine with a coworker on Tuesday or Wednesday. Even if it's just a short lunchtime walk, you can motivate each other and keep it going long term. Instead of worrying about your reputation at the end of the week, do something to garner yourself a little positive notice. A work relationship can also prosper now if you're proactive. This weekend, set your expectations aside. You can learn something important from someone different.
Gemini
Give or get specific direction early in the week. Otherwise, a project may take a timeline-killing detour. Likewise, on Wednesday, you'll need to prioritize carefully, especially if there's follow-through involved. Getting projects started may be fun, but seeing them to completion can be just as rewarding. The end of the week may be extremely busy, but your health matters too. Get adequate rest as well as some exercise to help bust stress. A relationship's in the stars this weekend, whether work-related or otherwise. Make an active effort to see things from their perspective.
Cancer
Check in with important clients (and prospective ones) straightaway early in the week. Something big could be put in action. Watch your back on Wednesday. Someone's got a different strategy than yours, and they won't hesitate to try to enact it on the sly and undermine your work. If a decision is difficult to reach at the end of the week, perhaps it's because the best possible option hasn't been unearthed yet. Try going back to square one to see what's been missed along the way. This weekend, nurture yourself and your personal relationships. You (and they) deserve it.
Leo
This is a good time to analyze recent successes and do a postmortem on projects that have gotten suboptimal results. On Tuesday and Wednesday, pieces fall easily into place for you. Suddenly resources that were in doubt are available, and formerly reluctant key players are dying to help. Beware of maneuvering that could be occurring behind your back or behind the scenes at the week's end. An up-front question or two can go a long way toward getting everyone on the same page. This weekend, you're telling it like it is with spectacular results.
Virgo
Early in the week, you can accomplish more before noon than most people can all day (if not all week). Use your bountiful energy to also launch a new initiative. If you're in charge of purchases on Wednesday, get the group's input or do a little more research to make sure you don't end up with an unpopular lemon. Reassess your goals at the end of the week; yes, it's good to aim high, but executable and achievable goals are also important. You're usually more comfortable with the tried and true, but this weekend an experimental approach makes sense and bears fruit.
Libra
You're busy early in the week, but take time for a little workplace socializing. A good laugh starts the week off right and sets the stage for the great energy you've got on Wednesday. You're especially adept interpersonally and creatively now, so find a project that synergizes the two. Trying to wring every penny out of a budget or deal at the week's end might be pound foolish. Think about cost cutting in broader terms. Current projects go well through the weekend, so if you've got to work, you can make fine progress and possibly even speed up your timeline.
Scorpio
Block out some time for planning your week early on. You'll be much more productive if you focus instead of trying to do everything at once. If you don't feel strongly about a business decision on Wednesday, consider letting someone else have it their way. If it goes poorly, they can bear the burden, and if it goes well, you're on board. From Thursday through Saturday, you've got intense energy and some serious vision, so don't be surprised if they're clamoring for your time and input. Be ready to assert your independence or defend your stance on Sunday.
Sagittarius
Early in the week is not the time to march into your boss's office and demand that raise or promotion, or else. They might choose the "or else" option. On Wednesday, however, your stock's way up and you're also quite the negotiator. Try illustrating the myriad reasons you merit a reward rather than pushing for it. Imaginative, creative projects suit you toward the end of the week, and you'll be most productive working solo rather than burdened with a team. This weekend, explore your industry, your dreams, and the job market.
Capricorn
Get super productive early in the week, as the planning you do now (particularly nitty-gritty detailed planning) will lead to success. And work's definitely in the stars on Tuesday and Thursday. Challenges offer excitement and, with your fearlessness, you can even turn them into profitable opportunities. At the end of the week, make sure you're in that important meeting or on the committee. Your input's key. You can also gain power now via taking ownership of a problem everyone's been trying unsuccessfully to solve. This weekend, reassess a plan, salvaging the aspects that work and revamping the rest.
Aquarius
Put a personal issue aside early in the week and build healthy working relationships. Your attitude will impress as well as work wonders. If you're curious about your future in your current position around Wednesday, schedule a one-on-one and get to the bottom of it. Come prepared with your accomplishments and specific ambitions. Then, toward the end of the week, some expansive energy comes into your work sphere, ownership of a project, perhaps, or an important new connection. Discipline yourself this weekend, but that means finding a balance instead of being a workaholic.
Pisces
Lend a hand to a colleague early in the week. It's good for your work karma. A partnership that's usually smooth sailing could be a bit bumpy on Wednesday. Don't take it too personally. Many factors are in play. If the information you need isn't forthcoming at the end of the week, make one more request (and be assertive), then consider taking your needs to a higher level. Luck's on your side this weekend, or is it just that you're smart enough to keep quiet while a situation evolves? Wait and watch, and you'll see an opportunity custom-made for you.
