Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Monday is all about the small things. In fact, the next couple days are going to be all about the small things. As you well know, sometimes it’s the little stuff that matters most in the end. You have your eye on the big picture, and you know every step forward to get there. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) The intersection between fun and romance is a great place to be Monday. You always knew you wanted to fall for someone who knew how to have a good time, but you never knew exactly how good it would feel. Let this special person know just what you’re thinking by midweek. Communication is a central theme especially toward the end of the week. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) It’s funny when you randomly start thinking about your relatives for no particular reason. Your family life is certainly interesting, and there is a lot to learn from what your parents and your parents’ parents have been through, especially at the start of the week. The more you discover about them, the more you find you have in common with them. A sizzling affair Thursday or Friday completely rocks your world. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) On Monday or Tuesday, you may want to cancel whatever dinner plans you have, stay at home and make something for yourself. It may sound like a small thing, but that kind of attention to yourself and your house is crucial during times like these. Toward midweek, the pressures at work or in the family is going to be exhausting, but you will survive it like a champ. Aries (March 21-April 20) All you will be able to think about at the beginning of the week is your financial situation — how much cash do you have on hand, how much stuff you have around the house that could easily be liquidated — but you really don’t have to get so drastic about it. Just stay the course. Don’t spend much money this week, and you will be fine. Taurus (April 21-May 21) On Monday you wake up with a lot of energy. No one is more ready for romance than you are. Unfortunately, on Thursday, you’re going to have no time to think about your love life, with all the stuff you have going on at work. But this weekend, you’ll go to a party with some friends and have an unbelievably good time. Gemini (May 22-June 21) Suddenly you feel like you’re in a kind of magical maze, full of strange obstacles and weird messages along the way. Stick to your intuition and pay no heed to anything that tries to convince you to steer off the path. By midweek, you’ll have found the doorway out into the real world again, and you’ll be so relieved to be back in familiar territory. Cancer (June 22-July 22) Someone you know is in the mood to throw a dinner party, but they’re just a little shy about initiating it. Tell them that you’ll be in charge of the guest list. You like to bring people together and it’s one of the many things you’re good at. This weekend, be assertive. Go after what you want. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) It’s Monday and your career is top of the list. Lately you’ve been having trouble with the boss, but by midweek you find a way to deal with the situation. In any case, it’s just work, and it will all blow over soon enough. The second half of the week will more than make up for the first. You’ll be surrounded by friends and have fun. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23) Travel has been on the back of your mind lately, but suddenly it’s all you can think about Monday. The idea of going somewhere faraway is intensely appealing, and it would be good for you in ways you couldn’t possibly realize. Even if you don’t have the resources to plan a major trip right now, plan a minor one, like a trip to another town nearby for dinner. Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) The world is a beautiful place, especially at the week’s outset. Nature has a way of putting its best foot forward. In general, you will sail through your days in a kind of magic cloud of energy. It’ll be fun but when the weekend rolls around, you’ll feel a little limp from all that high feeling. You need to rest and recharge. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) The important thing in any relationship — romantic or otherwise — is to remain open-minded, especially Monday. It’s crucial to remember that you’re both in this together, and that for it to work out you both need to be getting something out of it. That, of course, requires compromise. Midweek, someone is going to try to get you to agree to a business deal that seems shaky. |
