Aries
Be bold in business on Monday, but don't be insensitive, and err far to the tasteful side when it comes to water cooler conversation. An opportunity that seems too good to pass up on Tuesday or Wednesday should be considered in terms of your work karma. Find a way to make it a win/win or wait for the next (and likely even sweeter) deal. The end of the workweek nets you the reward of a leadership role, and you'll really shine as the boss or owner now. Efforts to get ahead this weekend won't go far, but it's not you, it's the stars.
Taurus
If there's a decision to be made Monday, convince others to err on the side of caution. You can always amp up the risk factor later. A mentor or career expert has a surprising take on your situation on Tuesday or Wednesday, possibly involving travel or major change. Give it your usual careful consideration, then give it some more. A certain party wants to toss out procedure or planning at the end of the workweek, and it may fall to you to save the baby that's going the way of the bathwater. A gripe session with friends this weekend could lead to a revelation about your occupational future.
Gemini
Be assertive but not obstinate on Monday. If you can give a little, you'll inspire the other party to do the same and get a win/win. Jeopardizing your timeline should be avoided around Tuesday or Wednesday, even if it means making waves. Should someone's hidden agenda get revealed, so much the better. The end of the workweek is an excellent time for some intellectual heavy lifting; you've got the mind power, so put it to use. This weekend, on the other hand, your creative, conceptual side should be allowed to run wild. How about a blue-sky meeting?
Cancer
If it's tough to get started on Monday, plan a reward. A massage or a nice dinner can be a great motivator. Work behind the scenes on Tuesday and Wednesday. You'll accomplish more, and you'll also discover other interesting things evolving on the down low. Money is in the stars at the end of the workweek, whether it's your business budget or personal finances. Look at the long-term planning rather than expend too much time on trying to save right here, right now. This weekend, you're error-prone when it comes to details but genius-prone when it comes to strategy.
Leo
Plan your next trip on Monday, whether it's for business or pleasure. Block out time and lock down dates. You'll be glad you did. You may be enthused about your latest hobby or adventure midweek, but beware of the eyes of coworkers or clients glazing over while you go on about it. Ask what they're into and they'll find you fascinating. Toward the end of the workweek, the best solution may not be one of the options on the table at all. Get outside the box. As for the weekend, avoid heavy financial stuff and concentrate on fresh creative concepts.
Virgo
The more you rush on Monday, the less you get done. Try crossing one thing off your list at a time. Then someone's got a surprise in their skill set around Wednesday, and it could be just the complement to the work you've done on your latest project. Use that charm to get them to partner with you. You've got your own surprise up your sleeve at the workweek's end. It's only when you understand and respect the status quo that you can improve on it like this. Put new projects on hold this weekend, though. You'll only have to backtrack due to changing circumstances.
Libra
Your combination of intellect and action on Monday means you're delivering results while others are still catching up on email. In the following few days, though, unexpected limitations may be put on your projects, perhaps budgetary, regulatory, or just a time crunch. Have an alternate plan ready to go. The end of the workweek is all about networking. Attend an event or conference for your industry and have those business cards ready. Work on one thing at a time this weekend, or better yet, get some downtime.
Scorpio
Find your own way on Monday rather than just following the status quo. You'll save time and may even reinvent part of the system. Around Wednesday, opposing ideas make for exciting debate and excellent options. And since everyone's being professional (right?), the best possible hybrid plan can emerge. Home, family, or friends demand your attention at the end of the workweek, so try to keep your schedule light, or plan in advance to take a day off. This weekend, an idea that's been rattling around in your head could suddenly come much closer into being.
Sagittarius
You're on the receiving end of some workplace admiration on Monday, performance related or otherwise. On Tuesday or Wednesday, you're in a frugal state of mind, but don't pinch budget pennies where they'll cut into morale or productivity. Toward the end of the workweek, on the other hand, you're in a pioneering mode, and the cutting edge is no place to worry about cutting costs (plenty of time for that later). This weekend, back up your files and keep badges, cell phones, and key cards directly on your person or plan to spend time backtracking.
Capricorn
A minor setback on Monday is just that: minor. If you don't get bent out of shape, you'll quickly see a way to move forward. Your hard work, realistic perspective, and willingness to take carefully calculated risks pay off midweek when people in a position of power are taking note of the results you're getting. Look past the immediate financial picture on Thursday and Friday, both in terms of your workplace and your own money matters. Some long-term planning is in order. This weekend, find an unconventional way to get your message across, one that'll stand out from the crowd.
Aquarius
Whatever you organize for your team on Monday (lunch, meeting, drinks after work) has excellent results. Don't forget the new person. Unexpected forces are shaping the work experience around Wednesday, and going with the flow while you figure it out is your best option. Keep half-formed opinions quiet for now. From Thursday through Saturday, though, anything you say has the ring of genius. You can do no wrong, so focus on a favorite project and push your agenda. This weekend, assets may be less available than they appear. Be ready to do it on a shoestring.
Pisces
If you disagree with your boss on Monday, respectfully say why and then drop it. By Tuesday or Wednesday, you may be calling on them for backup when you need it most. Don't overlook the help a colleague can provide too. At the end of the workweek, your flexible outlook and willingness to adapt to changing circumstances make you a very valuable team member, and you'll even find time to return a favor. It all makes for excellent business karma. This weekend, you may rediscover an interest that offers a new next step on your career path.
