Aries
Is there such a thing as being too much of a go-getter? Let's just say you're pushing the envelope on Monday (and if another party has a slower style, you might want to tone it down). Then over the next few days, it's somebody else who may be agitating in an overblown way. You've also got personal stuff to deal with. How will you handle the stress? Things get back in balance starting sometime later on Thursday. Both partnering or teamwork and independent efforts are spurred by the stars now. Sunday, though, is best for solo stuff only.
Taurus
Beware of a clash of work styles on Monday. How will you finesse that touchy-feely type or that certain party who i s as dead set as you? Cash flow and budgets (maybe at work, maybe personal, probably both) are particularly pertinent over the next few days. Instead of just moving numbers around (a no-no now), find a longer-term strategy and start enacting. Then starting sometime later on Thursday, it's time for the aspects of work you can really sink your teeth into. Just allow for some actual time off this weekend.
Gemini
Debate's a healthy thing on Monday, but surrounding yourself with supporters and (finally) getting going is even better. Then watch any and all calculations with an eagle eye over the next few days. A seemingly micro mistake or estimate can have later impact on a very macro scale. And from sometime later on Thursday through any hours you're clocking this weekend, you'll want every synapse at your disposal. Get rest, get exercise, and don't put off lunch until your productivity plummets with your blood sugar.
Cancer
You've got a tendency to overplay your hand on Monday. A little bluffing goes a long way. Ultimately, you'll have to work with what you've got or spend time scrambling to get resources together. Then you've got a real facility with the facts and figures over the next few days, just in the knick of time. Show those who think you're all EQ how high functioning that IQ can be. And working this weekend looks full of potential pitfalls, especially if it's new business or involves other unknown quantities. Best to be very cautious (or just take time off) after Thursday.
Leo
Who do you want to persuade and what is it you want them on board for? Aim high on Monday. Ask for more than you want and you're highly likely to get the green light. Over the next few days, however, you'd best tone it way down, taking your cues from others and responding to the ambient climate instead of getting all proactive. (Another red-flag area at this juncture is personal finances.) Upgrades of all sorts are in the stars for you beginning sometime later on Thursday, but Sunday's energy looks more challenging. If you're working now, expect a conflict.
Virgo
You want to lock something (or someone) in on Monday, but the Universe just isn't cooperating. Keep the freak-out to yourself and at least put a flexible face on it. The next few days offer much more in the way of opportunity, and since you didn't lose it at the week's outset, you're in a great position to use it. It's all about self-starting. Get going and then when you've already got undeniably positive indicators, get buy-in. And starting sometime later on Thursday, joint goals are highlighted. Have a meeting of the minds on Friday.
Libra
You're definitely the go-to person on Monday, making friends and influencing people like nobody's business. If you don't have the answer at hand, give 'em the big picture and then run some research. But beware of information overload over the next few days, both in how much you're trying to assimilate and how much you're giving. Less really can be more in a clarifying way. And starting sometime later on Thursday, you've got a flair for elegant, compelling design. Come up with something unique and collect the kudos.
Scorpio
A little apple polishing wouldn't be amiss on Monday, and even just echoing back what they say in an admiring way is a better tactic than challenging them now. Then watch for a key piece of information to come your way over the next few days. Dig a bit and allow a certain conversation time to take a deeper turn. Others may rush to fill silences in most revealing ways. Starting sometime later on Thursday, avoid committing to a course of action. Sunday or early next week is the time to go for it.
Sagittarius
You've got the advantage on Monday, even if it's just attitudinal. Smile and the world of work smiles with you. Let somebody else deploy the annoying squeaky-wheel tactic. You'll need the goodwill you've generated over the next few days, when the sheer volume of work is a major stressor and some top-down stuff truly isn't helping matters. Take a moment to rough out or rework a schedule so you can throw it to those breathing down your neck. And things ought to swing back in your favor starting sometime later on Thursday, so save the panic button for when you really need it.
Capricorn
If every day were like this Monday, you'd be dead in the water. Luckily, you're only up to your eyeballs in it briefly. Over the next few days, the stars help bail you out and then some. Your methodical approach works wonders now and you should be ready, willing, and able to assume some more authority now. Own it! And from Friday through the weekend, cultivating connections is key. Much as you might wish it were so, your work is no island and who you know (and how much you're liked) is especially important now.
Aquarius
Watch for outliers on Monday. It's the thing that doesn't quite fit that can provide the clue you've been looking for. Don't hesitate to explore the most unusual direction. Then if you catch yourself making assumptions over the next few days, give yourself a mental swat, back up, and start over. The interpersonal factor is particularly unpredictable now. Just because they're saying it doesn't make it so. And from Friday through the weekend, those mental gears are turning fast, but you'll also need to engage with the outside. Don't be too abstract!
Pisces
Going along with the crowd, just temporarily, might be an excellent strategy as the week begins. People are more likely to be pointing fingers than looking to share the credit, and standing out could be a problem rather than a plus now. Around midweek, you'd be wise to go to the source or take it to the top. Something or someone in the middle is just slowing things down. And after Thursday, when considering your path, don't forget that assistance is available. Use that good work karma you've accumulated.
