Overview : You move forward another step and find yourself earning accolades you've deserved for some time. It's one of those days that just feels right, and you can make almost anyone see that.
Extended : Sensitive? You? No way. Well, maybe a little. It started when you realized you were sniffling at sappy commercials. You'd never, ever admit to it, of course -- but if you're going to be spending any time with that certain someone, you might want to think about it ahead of time. Forget being the alpha person. Let them know you have a great big heart. If one thing's clear, it's that you have nothing else to prove.
Work : Networking always plays a role in career growth, but keep in mind that connections can only get you so far. While searching for that next career opportunity, focus more on your reputation and abilities -- not on who you know.
Home & Garden : You enjoy slow but steady progress today, making headway on a project you know you won't finish for weeks. Making a quilt is not something you expect to do in one day, but you complete a significant part this afternoon.

Overview : Sometimes inventing a structure -- imposing limitations on yourself -- is paradoxically freeing. It clarifies your goals and defines a means to achieve them. Your goals, high-minded as they are, might not seem achievable as you set out this week, but by Wednesday you'll be farther along than you imagined. Thursday and Friday, the future remains your primary interest. You may even babble on about it to people you barely know. You'd be wise to get out of the house -- and out of your head -- on Saturday with a concert or a movie, but Sunday finds you being, yet again, extremely productive.
Business : Work is like dealing with a gumball machine on Monday: You put in what's required and get what you want out of it. Come to think of it, a big, red gumball sounds delicious, doesn't it? It would look fantastic with your business attire, and you'd have your coworkers grinning madly. Tuesday and Wednesday are less whimsical and more serious, more time-to-get-down-to-business. Use the old, trusted way of doing things for the best results. But Thursday? And Friday? Creativity is the answer to everything at the end of the week. A solution -- a wild solution, but it will totally work -- is right under your nose.
Travel : Stick to the plan as the week begins. You've done a good job of mapping out a sensible (and suitably ambitious) itinerary, and it's time to cash in on that prudence. That careful orchestration promises a brilliantly executed Tuesday and Wednesday, as connections are made and everything goes off without a hitch. Thursday and Friday might find you fretting over finances, but don't throw out your budget entirely -- you just need to make a couple of tweaks. This weekend, indulge your creative side, especially through art and music (Museum? Gallery? Symphony hall?).
