ARIES

March 21-April 19

While agility may be the latest, stability’s always key and it’s particularly so for you as the week gets going. Thinking fast on your feet is fine, but if you have your facts and figures at the ready, you’ll actually be able to make some forward motion instead of dancing around the issues. Then the stars are sending a stress warning for the end of the workweek. Don’t neglect your workout on Thursday and Friday and be clear about the source of your reactions – and how you act on them. And if you’ve got a bold venture on your mind, look into it further this weekend

TAURUS

April 20-May 20

Those who associate you with plodding progress might be surprised by your ability to soar to higher heights as the week begins. Get the interpersonal stuff in line and tackle issues one at a time – the biggest liability now is concentrating too much on what’s coming instead of what’s right in front of you. On Thursday and Friday, you’ve got a real knack for independent thinking – and for explaining and illustrating it to others. But if you’re working this weekend, that sense of independence is a possible liability. You’ll need to honor everyone’s roles right now.

GEMINI

May 21-June 21

You’ll definitely want to partner or team up as the week gets going. While you’ve got the motivation and the creative spark, you’ll need help to go beyond the first push. Then there’s some contention in the air on Thursday and Friday. Work’s not always going to be harmonious, but you’ve got to do your part to make sure this is a productive phase. Get clarity on the most basic goals and priorities – you might want to haul out the mission statement now. When the weekend comes, a non-work-related conversation may provide a key.

CANCER

June 22-July 22

Look for a leadership role or a way to exercise your creative muscle as the week gets going. Yes, you may be adding an extra helping to your already-full plate, but recognize the value in it, both in terms of current fulfillment and your career’s future. You might want to see if you can’t dish out a couple of your tasks, too; around Tuesday and Wednesday, you’ve got the personal Midas touch and you can make your delegating seem to their advantage. If you’re working this weekend, a low profile serves your purposes better than any horn-tooting.

LEO

July 23-August 22

Persistence is great, but be ready to adjust your approach while you keep persisting on Monday. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, the team or brain trust is much more helpful than usual, particularly when it comes to decision-making. The more ideas generated, the better the solution will be. At the end of the workweek, your ability to show genuine caring and facilitate trust improves work relationships and even the whole workplace culture immensely. (And don’t worry: Sensitivity and strength go great together.) This weekend, you’re just plain awesome, whether it’s at work or play.

VIRGO

August 23-September 22

Monday looks solid and you’re especially effective at analysis, so don’t just skim the surface. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, though, nervous energy or worrying instead of doing threatens to derail you. It may seem counterintuitive, but step away, clear your head and return much more productive. Then you’re at the center of things at the end of the workweek. Get everybody’s input and ideas, shake well (preferably in a fun group setting) and see what comes out of it. And keep it simple this weekend, as changes of plan are inevitable.

LIBRA

September 23-October 22

Don’t take things at face value on Monday. Even if someone’s saying ‘yes,’ you’d better revisit the question on Tuesday or Wednesday; they’re likely to be more forthcoming now (or is it just that you’ve found the right way to frame the questions?). This is also an excellent window for new business – cultivate a fresh mind and opportunities flow to you. Act now, because circumstances may not be so favorable at the end of the workweek, with you spending most of your time playing catch-up. The weekend’s energy is much better, particularly vis-a-vis the long term.

SCORPIO

October 23 – November 21

How about a little thinking inside the box as the week gets going? Big ideas and bold pushes won’t go far if you don’t gain a micro-level understanding of the current situation prior to moving forward. Examine the status quo, then turn toward innovation later in the week – around Thursday and Friday, the stars favor the future and turn your brainpower way up. Give your inner control freak some time off, now, too; your best work comes from free thinking, not clamping down. And a work situation this weekend demands finesse, not flair.

SAGITTARIUS

November 22-December 21

Do ‘em a favor on Monday, whether the party in question is a coworker, client or your boss. It’s not about apple-polishing, it’s about cultivating a mutually beneficial relationship and you just might need an ally around Tuesday and Wednesday. Watch for getting stuck in a loop now. At the end of the workweek, the questions are more important than the answers. Formulate smart ones – and smart follow-up ones, too. The kind of understanding you’re gaining and facilitating gives you a distinct advantage, one that can boost any efforts you make this weekend.

CAPRICORN

December 22-January 19

Your thoroughness can uncover a potential pitfall or overlooked opportunity (or, likely, both entwined) on Monday. Then don’t get carried away by others’ creative flights of fancy around Tuesday and Wednesday. Look at the foundations as well as the flourishes now and make sure the basics are in place. At the end of the workweek, you may be unusually on edge or inclined to procrastinate. Exercise is key for emotional balance and focus; fit in that workout or a brisk walk. This weekend, a little extra attention to determining others’ agendas works to your advantage.

AQUARIUS

January 20-February 18

Work like crazy on Monday and get your usual responsibilities out of the way – it’s not a thrill, but what you can then do around Tuesday and Wednesday just might be. You’re a creative powerhouse now; work it. (Hint: Who’s good at keeping track, at trouble-shooting, at follow-through? Get them on your team, too.) Strong reactions are a sign at the end of the workweek, but restrain yourself from instantaneously sharing them. A more nuanced response is in order. This weekend, nothing’s set in stone, which can work to your advantage.

PISCES

February 19-March 20

Put an idea into words or other representation on Monday and get it in front of some pertinent people. The feedback you get looks particularly valuable, whereas over the next couple days, clear communication is elusive. Be available and make time for some proactive checking in on important clients or projects. Neglecting them because you’re too busy ultimately just makes you busier. At the end of the workweek, though, things tend to fall into place, leaving you room for work on a new endeavor. This weekend, getting exercise helps you focus, as does taking actual time off.
