Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) There are many ways to express yourself. Look into a new tactic on Monday and Tuesday. Writing a poem? Writing a song? Finding an original way to communicate with you-know-who will not only help you feel more connected to this person, it will flatter them. Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19) You suddenly have little patience for other people’s values. Not that you don’t appreciate other opinions; it’s just that you’re long overdue for taking stock of what’s important to you. Something to consider Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday launches you into much more abstract terrain. Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20) Treat yourself on Monday. Part of figuring out what you want is getting what you want and seeing if you like it. So, do some research. On Tuesday, you begin work on a new project that might transform your outlook on everything. Wednesday and Thursday are less clear days, relatively — camouflage and clouds figure metaphorically — but a home-cooked meal on Friday night returns you to solid footing. Aries (March 21-April 20) What should you do on Monday and Tuesday? As little as possible. Lose yourself in your own thoughts. Ask for extra time with any paperwork that requires your signature. Take naps if you want. You’ll burn enough calories on Wednesday and Thursday — exciting days, both — for an entire week’s worth of adventure. Friday and Saturday (when patience and permanence are major themes) return you to a slower pace, but, again, not for long. Taurus (April 21-May 21) Your friends are tremendous people, and they’d love to help. If something is getting you down, Monday and Tuesday offer you plenty of opportunities to do something about that. Get that weight off your shoulders; open up. Gemini (May 22-June 21) The questions you have about your career aren’t going to go away — the current quandary is just the most recent manifestation of a very basic issue, so don’t stress the details. Focus on being creative (and enjoying yourself!) and pretty much everything else will click into place (eventually). Cancer (June 22-July 22) Your mind wanders on Monday and Tuesday and ends up in the funniest places. This is, believe it or not, productive. These daydreams make for swell anecdotes as well. You’re more in tune with others than you have been in a while, although Wednesday and Thursday, as social as you feel like being, you’re better off doing your own thing. Friday and Saturday bring word of good news in the family realm, and as your mood brightens this weekend, you find yourself being more extroverted and impulsive than usual. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Your instincts are in top form at the start of the week, and so are your listening skills. Combined, they’ll get you out of any tricky situation. As you gear up to make a big decision, count on your friends to bring to light aspects of your current circumstance you might not have considered before. You enjoy learning new things — even when they’re new things about yourself. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23) You never know what’s going on in someone else’s life. If you have the impulse to criticize a friend on Monday or Tuesday, consider that you might not have the full story. Wednesday and Thursday, as happy as you may be, relations with coworkers are strained, and you may end your days in a state of frustration, but you don’t need to let work issues ruin your end-of-the-week plans. Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23) Even while you’re juggling a million other things, you have your eye on the world around you. And when you see something beautiful, you point it out to your friends. You’re a pleasure to be around these days, which explains why, midweek, someone is all over you. Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Monday and Tuesday are dreamy and wonderful; the dream motif is especially apt — you merely have to wish for something to be true and suddenly it is. Romantically, you’ve never been better off. It’s rare for the fantasy realm to be so perfectly imposed on real life. Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Listening to someone tell a story from their past on Monday gets you thinking about your own emotionally rich history. Look how far you’ve come! The challenges you face right now are nothing compared to the challenges you’ve already surmounted. Wednesday and Thursday, nothing can get in the way of your unbelievable talents and Friday and Saturday’s demands on you are very doable. Flex your skills as a master communicator and all will be fine. |
