Weekly Horoscope

 Aries--You have almost no understanding of your friends who are in grumpy moods at the start of the week, what with all the luck and love and athletic spirit that has been defining your days. Monday through Wednesday, you're absolutely scorching. Get as much fun and exercise out of your system as possible, because Thursday and Friday are comparatively ho-hum. Where the start of the week it seemed like you were working in a carnival, at the end of the week, it's like you're doing data entry. Saturday and Sunday, call as many people as you can think of, for no other reason than to say 'hi' -- the best reason of all to call someone.

Taurus--Someone taps one domino at the start of the week and sets off a chain reaction, getting a lot more than they bargained for. Alliances are tight Monday through Wednesday -- you and your pals are standing side by side. Make sure they know how much you adore them, and they'll always have your back. Thursday and Friday are pure enjoyment -- someone has an idea for a game (dominoes, anyone?) and everyone else jumps at the chance to play. Merriment ensues. This weekend, bolstered by your great week, even house chores seem exciting.

Gemini--Ideas are spilling out of your ears at the start of the week. You and a pal might sit around debating something, alternately ribbing each other and solving the world's problems. Monday through Wednesday, do what you can to put your ideas into action. Thursday, frustratingly, it becomes a lot harder to communicate, especially if the person on the other end of the interaction is a family member. You have emails to answer (and bills to pay!) on Friday -- nothing you can't do while simultaneously talking on the phone. This weekend, shove distractions aside and concentrate on one person.

Cancer--You may splurge on a piece of art at the start of the week -- a photo of a city you love, an abstract painting that makes you tingle when you look at it. Whatever it is, it's an extravagance -- not the kind of thing you buy every day -- but you consider it both a financial investment and a personal one. Be proud of your acquisition the first half of the week, and show it off. But toward the second half -- Thursday and Friday -- stop yakking about it. Focus on smaller things. Check in with friends. Sweep. Saturday and Sunday, a problem at home requires some creative thinking.

Leo--The first three days of the week are the best three days in a row you've had all year. You're everyone's favorite friend. You're weightless. Your emails are worthy of awards. Something you say to someone in passing may go on to inspire them for years to come. Nevertheless, being inspiring doesn't pay the bills -- if you could figure out how it could, you'd really be weightless. Thursday and Friday, financial matters require your attention. If you have some extra cash, this weekend's the right time to purchase a piece of equipment you just can't do without anymore. A coffeemaker? An MP3 player?

Virgo--You're incredibly talented, but there's no chance for you to demonstrate what you're made of at the start of the week, because people give you a hard time everywhere you turn. Monday through Wednesday are well-stocked with overbearing, inflexible braggarts. Weird! You're a tolerant person, so show off your virtues in that department. As if to reward you, Thursday and Friday are banner days -- cheerful, tidy, productive. This weekend, making a big purchase with someone is going to bring you two closer together than ever.

Libra--You're Christopher Columbus on Monday. You're leading ships full of people toward an exciting discovery. How you came to be the leader you're not exactly sure, but you tend to fall into leadership roles rather smoothly on a regular basis. Tuesday and Wednesday, the big picture is clear to you. The details? Someone else will handle those. Thursday and Friday, some celebrating is in order. In a social situation, take a passive role. Let someone else be the life of the party. Listen up, and what you learn may amaze you. Saturday and Sunday are super days: romantic, beautiful and busy (in a good way).

Scorpio--Monday through Wednesday, as much as you'd like to wear bright, colorful clothes, you'd be better off taking a black-and-white approach. Flamboyance is a problem the first half of the week, and self-control and professionalism are required at work right now. You get to have some more fun the second half of the week. Thursday and Friday are great days. A friend whispers something in your ear that puts a grin on your face. Saturday and Sunday are full of down-tempo pleasure.

Sagittarius--A postcard from overseas arrives at the start of the week. Sometime between Monday and Wednesday, you either buy plane tickets or actually board a plane -- and, if you do board a plane, chances are you get lucky with a great seat. Your cheeks may even hurt from grinning so much. Thursday and Friday are less grin-worthy. An authority figure is on your case, and it's driving you nuts. But this weekend is awesome. Your friends are fawning over you and a lawyer might come to you for some advice. Plus, the big picture -- that ever-elusive big picture -- comes into startling focus.

Capricorn--There's only one cup of coffee left in the coffeemaker. Who gets it? This question turns into an outright battle at the start of the week. Monday through Wednesday, especially at work, everyone feels entitled, and no one's in a generous mood. Frustratingly, this has an effect on your job performance. It isn't until Thursday that you actually enjoy yourself and get something done. Friday is a good day for planning the details of a challenging new project, a project you might keep working on into the weekend. When you're excited about something, you can't help yourself.

Aquarius--An impulsive decision on Monday -- a bolt from the blue, a lark -- might be the answer that solves everything, the magic piece in a rather confusing puzzle. Don't be afraid to challenge fixed ideas. Your instinct is on to something. Tuesday and Wednesday, experiments and discoveries figure strongly. Later in the week, Thursday and Friday especially, require an adherence to standard operating principle, so put away your gadgets and stick to what you do best: communicating with people, covering details, taking care of things as they arise. Saturday and Sunday are wonderfully social.

Pisces--You love the people you work with, but Monday through Wednesday they're bad news. It's an energy thing. If a gaggle of them is in a corner whispering, count on the fact that it's something you're not interested in. Everyone else is swimming around in emotional waters this week, but you aren't letting your mind wander. Good move. Thursday and Friday draw on your analytical powers -- with a few stray pieces of information you can assemble an entire puzzle. The weekend challenges you in a different way. You and a partner (love interest?) have to work through something.
