Overview : You need to concentrate, but it's not that hard for you to make a good impression today. In fact, if you're on a first date or job interview, it should go much better than you would have thought. Extended : This is a day you won't soon forget. And neither will your lucky companion, who you're determined to spoil beyond belief. The problem is you're after privacy, and they'll want to tell the world what you've done -- which won't appeal to you, not even a little bit. Still, if you make sure you've done the right thing for them, the glare of the spotlight won't scorch quite so badly. Work : Before you start any project today, put together a plan -- you'll get nowhere without it. Too many details have lives of their own. If you don't watch them carefully, they'll take you in all the wrong directions. Home & Garden : As you look for new ways to spruce up your house, look no further than your own backyard. Branches blown down from a recent windstorm or bundles of pine cones could make homey indoor accents.
Overview : You're getting ahead of yourself on Monday. If you're single, you'll imagine going on a honeymoon with someone you've just met. If you're married, you'll impulsively want to book a flight to the Bahamas -- even though that's totally impractical right now. Tuesday and Wednesday, happiness is in paying attention to your health and making your services available to any friend in need. Thursday is an exercise in patience. Friday is a day of solutions -- they just float out of your brain -- but Saturday and Sunday present a stunning array of new conundrums. Business : Your first move should be to listen, then you should take action. Don't get that order mixed up on Monday. If you campaign for a bunch of changes before you've done all the research you need to do, things won't work out the way you want them to. Listening is also a good way to diffuse the ego crises that threaten to drag down the middle of the week. Thursday and Friday, your coworkers are still fairly touchy, and any discussions of finances should be tabled until next week. The more modest you're at the end of the week, the happier you'll be. Travel : Did you have to declare that utter hotness of yours at customs? You're on fire right now -- attractive, magnetic and confident -- and you've got an almost insatiable appetite for exploration and adventure as the week begins. (And, naturally, you'll be well received wherever your travels take you.) Count on that enthusiasm and energy to carry you well through Wednesday, and look for any opportunities to share that spirit and help others out. Thursday and Friday present some problem-solving challenges, but nothing a little creativity can't take care of. This weekend, do your research, whether by reading guidebooks or quizzing fellow travelers.
