Cancer (June 22-July 22)

    Playing hooky or working from home might not be a bad idea Monday because your regular routine may present some irregular issues now. Tuesday and Wednesday, be sure to direct negative feelings appropriately. You don’t want to end up tangling with your boss when your relationship is the source of your frustration — or vice versa.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s easy for you to make a good impression Monday. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, somebody’s quirks may make you crazy, but even you can admit you’ve got a few of your own. Try to loosen up or laugh it off. Your work or personal priorities require attention at the end of the workweek.

Virgo

(Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Fit in some fun to kick the week off right. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, you have the tenacity to apply yourself to a task or situation, but then again, if you think more freely first, an entirely new and improved approach may present itself.

Libra

(Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

If you find yourself dragging a bit Monday, consider why you’re feeling this way. You’ll want to have your emotional state sorted out by Tuesday and Wednesday. You might be disappointed at the end of the workweek, but smaller plans will go rather nicely.

Scorpio

(Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

You’re a people person and super aware of opportunities Monday, so seize this day big time! Around Tuesday and Wednesday, family or household matters should be a priority. A little maintenance of your relationships and surroundings now prevents issues later. Then it’s time to leave mundane stuff behind and stretch your imagination later this week.

Sagittarius

(Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

A penny saved is a penny you can spend on something bigger and better later. Tuesday and Wednesday, you have a bright, shiny quality that attracts others. At the end of the workweek, get focused.

Capricorn

(Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Get into action Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday, you’re busy refining a scheme or looking for an alternative approach to a certain situation -- good ideas both. The imaginative solution you need, however, might not arrive until the end of the workweek. Balance work and play this weekend.

Aquarius

(Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

Consider hitting the gym to get your blood pumping Monday. If possible, delay bigger agenda items until Tuesday and Wednesday, when you are lucky. At the end of the workweek, it may seem like a hassle, but confirm plans, do the math and so forth.

Pisces

(Feb. 20-March 20)

Don’t hesitate to ask for help Monday. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, fuse your imagination and your intellectual side for amazing results. Some free-form thought might give rise to surprising next steps for your relationship, career or life at large. This weekend, get to the bottom of a puzzling situation.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

You have a goal in mind Monday. Be careful about trampling on others to get there. Tuesday and Wednesday, you’re more of an idea person rather than an action go-getter. Get in cahoots with someone who thinks like you do for double the brainpower. Your subconscious has a message for you at the end of the workweek.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

If you’ve been thinking about getting out of town, go ahead and firm up those plans Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday bring some unusual energy your way, perhaps in the form of a work or a personal challenge. After this, fun with friends is in order at the end of the workweek. This weekend you might be ready to dive into something new.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

If you’re confused or indecisive, don’t expect a sudden flash of insight Monday. Around Tuesday and Wednesday, however, if you apply yourself, you’re likely to experience the dawning of a useful point of view. An email, a text or other communique could be misunderstood at the end of the workweek.
