Overview : Try not to fight too hard against the currents of the day -- things go better for you if you avoid the big power struggles. It may be impossible to avoid them entirely, but you can come out unscathed if you're careful. Extended : If you've recently stopped seeing someone, prepare for unexpected company today or tonight -- and over the next month or so, in fact. Whoever you've just left behind may be back for yet another dramatic scene, too, so it's up to you to make them realize this really is it and you both really do need to move on. And don't forget to lavish some attention on that new flame in between commercials. Work : A radical new work process is a bit too radical for you. Present your concerns to the one in charge. He or she may not be receptive to what you say, but you're not the only one saying it. And ultimately, at least you've said your piece. Home & Garden : Find a new way to do something today, no matter how mundane or extravagant. Perhaps you'll start to wipe down the shower tiles after every use, or begin experimenting with spices. Enjoy the change of pace.
Overview : Someone may be devising a scheme to separate you from your money at the start of the week. You are too smart for that. Your charming ways have a sort of steamroller effect, and you may be able to convince someone to bark up another tree by your sheer likeability. Midweek, your thoughts are on travel -- that's one area in which you're willing to be separated from your money, what with all the places you haven't been. Friday finds you trying not to read too much into everyone else's idiosyncrasies. Saturday and Sunday, your friends are as present and supportive as ever. Business : It's hard to imagine a better day than Monday -- you're happy, your travel plans are firm and your interactions with others are mutually enlightening. You have a deeper understanding of who you are and what you're doing than you've had in weeks. With this deep comprehension comes deep frustration on Tuesday and Wednesday, when someone (who may just be trying to provoke you) seems to be playing games. Weird. Call in some backup: Your friends are of like mind and suffer no fools. On Thursday and Friday, they give awesome business advice. Plus, they make you laugh. Travel : Think a tour brochure looks a little too flashy? You're probably right. As the week begins you should avoid risks, big or small, and stick to simple travel pleasures (like chatting with the locals). Tuesday and Wednesday find your itinerary unfolding with ease, and don't be surprised to find that you're actually learning a lot too. (See, traveling can be fun and educational at the same time!) On Thursday and Friday you risk rubbing people the wrong way if you come across as stubborn, so take the easy way out -- just pretend you don't speak the language (even if you do). This weekend, you'll have more fun with travel companions than without.
