Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

You love the people you work with, but Monday through Wednesday they’re bad news. If people are 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. Thursday and Friday draw on your analytical powers — with a few stray pieces of information you can assemble an entire puzzle.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

You have almost no understanding of your friends who are in grumpy moods at the start of the week. 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 boring. Saturday and Sunday, call as many people as you can think of.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

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 and everyone else jumps at the chance to play.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

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, it becomes a lot harder to communicate, especially if the person on the other end of the interaction is a family member.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

You may splurge on a piece of art at the start of the week — 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.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The first three days of the week are the best three days in a row you’ve had for a while. 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. Thursday and Friday, financial matters require your attention.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

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. 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.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You’re Christopher Columbus 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. Listen up, and what you learn may amaze you.

    Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)

    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. Saturday and Sunday are full of down-tempo pleasure.

    Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

    Sometime between Monday and Wednesday, you either buy plane tickets or actually board a plane. 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.

    Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

    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.

    Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

    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.
