Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You’d love more money, of course, but Monday isn’t the time to ask for a raise. Nor is Tuesday. Timing is everything in life, and you’re so much better off flying under the radar this week. Wednesday and Thursday are good, quiet days, but Friday finds you stuck trying to make a big decision. On Saturday and Sunday, low-key is your pitch. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) A cheerful face delivers some terrific news Monday or Tuesday. If only every week could start like this! You are happy, you have money coming your way, you are finding things to laugh about. Wednesday takes you out of this idyllic mode for a while — an authority figure will rub you the wrong way. On Thursday, a close pal may unintentionally drive you up a wall. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) On Monday, you may think you have a handle on what’s going on, but you don’t. Life is full of misinformation, and rather than proceed with the intelligence you have, you may want to wait until new intelligence comes your way. Wednesday and Thursday are perfect days for fact-finding — you’ll be in the mood to ask questions and dig through papers. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) An extraordinary discovery about the most ordinary person you know rocks your world Monday. It’s exciting when these things happen, and also a bit unnerving. You never know whom you’re dealing with. It’s especially true Wednesday and Thursday, in reference to a business deal. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) There is too much going on in your own head for you to be worrying about someone else’s troubles. In blunter terms, mind your own business. If you feel the urge to be critical of others Wednesday and Thursday, consider that you might not have all the relevant facts. By Friday, you’re in full-fledged self-improvement mode. Aries (March 21-April 20) The week begins with a bang. Well, more like a big kiss. Romance and adventure figure strongly. The excitement of Monday and Tuesday will dull by midweek, when a bunch of deadlines zap your energy. On Thursday, do something to blow off steam and help yourself stay fit. Taurus (April 21-May 21) On Monday and Tuesday, tolerance is your best tool. No sense in letting a fight erupt over something that doesn’t matter. On Wednesday, if you have an extra ticket to a concert, invite someone who wouldn’t expect you to invite them; you will have a far better time than you would anticipate. Thursday is an easy day and Friday is a flat-out cakewalk. Gemini (May 22-June 21) An off-the-cuff comment from you Monday or Tuesday may be taken a bit too seriously by one of your friends. If you have a hunch there may be some confusion, clear the air. Midweek, communication is difficult, too — especially with your family, who are not the mind readers they think they are. Again, spell it out, and don’t let people jump to wacky conclusions. Cancer (June 22-July 22) As the week begins, you’re out for extravagance. Make sure you can afford whatever it is you’re drooling over. On Wednesday and Thursday, materialism is far from your mind: A friend needs your help working out a small but meaningful problem, and a few of your goals need tidying up in light of some recent events. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Popularity and power are major themes in your life right now. Certain days you like to retreat from the spotlight (as you’ll do Wednesday and Thursday) but on other days (such as Friday) the spotlight on you never seems bright enough. This weekend, surround yourself with people — family, friends, romantic partners, anyone. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23) All week you’ll be getting things done with polish, but not a lot of fuss. Such are the tactics a busy person like you must adopt. Make sure your desk is clean and tidy Thursday, or you won’t be able to think straight. On Friday and through the weekend, brace yourself for a series of deep and meaningful adventures with your pal or lover. Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) Everyone is puzzled by something at the outset of the week, and for whatever reason they think you have the answer. On Wednesday and Thursday, you’re meticulous and perceptive, too — these are key qualities this week. Expect the fates to reward you with romance Friday. |
