Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) You need to spend some time during the first half of this week just taking stock of your life and appreciating all the things and people you may not have noticed up until now. It may be hard for you to understand some of the connections, but that just means you need to make time for thinking. Let yourself dive into some big project or idea Thursday. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You get word of a friend’s big adventure — and it inspires you to plan your own. The first half of the week is a good time to think really big. Work issues loom large Thursday and Friday — especially if you aren’t your own boss. Dealing with supervision is tricky business at this time. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You just aren’t so sure about what you need to do next when the week begins — but keep asking questions. You’re in the right frame of mind to accept big changes, or sets of small changes that add up to something great. Thursday or Friday, your good mood is ineradicable and you may find that those around you are caught up in your excitement. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) You’re doing quite a bit of eye-rolling all the way through Wednesday evening — almost everyone you know is overreacting to some bit of news or surprise announcement, and you seem to be the only one who has any kind of perspective. Focus on your own projects later this week. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) The first few days of the week are great for committing yourself to exercise. Try yoga, take the stairs instead of the elevator or just swallow your pride and go back to the gym. A seeming contradiction turns into an extraordinary new idea for you Thursday or Friday, and you should be able to work it to your advantage within a few weeks. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Your poetic imagination makes the first half of the week seem almost magical. It’s the best time to share your feelings or to try out new artistic projects. Beware of work issues Thursday and Friday, especially involving your immediate supervisor or closest client. Aries (March 21-April 20) You’re feeling much more domestic than usual during the first half of the week, and should think about family and repair projects before other issues. Exciting energy floods your senses later in the week, so expect to have a good time out of almost anything then. Push ahead with something totally new. Taurus (April 21-May 21) Listen carefully and make sure that you’re also speaking in turn through Wednesday — communication is far more important than usual, and should be easier for you to achieve. Try to get your peers to see what is most important to you. Don’t overdo it later in the week, though, or you may find that others stop listening when they decide that you’ve said enough. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Watch out for foul moods during the first half of the week, in yourself as well as those around you. It’s a time that makes disappointment 10 times as bitter as usual, and you need to avoid raising expectations too high. See if you can coast through to Thursday, when your intellectual energy starts to rise dramatically. Cancer (June 22-July 22) It’s a good time for you to see if you can get your people to commit to something new and important. If you show off a little Thursday and Friday, it’s for a good reason, and you ought to impress the right people and put yourself in a good position for the future. Attend to the small details of your life this weekend. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Expect big ideas to come your way early this week — through your own inspiration or through mundane channels like email. You’re in just the right frame of mind to give them the careful consideration they deserve, so take the time to think them through. At least one leads to some serious recognition Thursday or Friday, and you should be able to make the most of your great energy then. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23) Fall back on your good friends as the week begins — you know they’re there for you, and it’s easier than ever to ask them for anything you need. You are all more or less on the same page, so work together. Try your best to relax Thursday and Friday — especially when new ideas or requests come your way. ? |
