Monday is not the most comfortable day at work. Your chair may be partly to blame -- is it possible to get something more ergonomic? -- but the bigger problem is awkwardness and possibly aggression between you and your colleagues. This is no way to go about your days. Tuesday and Wednesday, take matters into your own hands. Come into the office with a whole new attitude, even if you have to fake it. Don't hold onto any negative thoughts about anyone else. Think of this as a new beginning. The more you inspire everyone else, the bigger your successes will be on Thursday and Friday.

You're definitely ready for some romantic action as the week begins, but you'll want to be aware of where your potential partner in such action is coming from. Read their signals and respond accordingly. Thursday and Friday may not be the most romantic days, but you should take the opportunity to slow down and enjoy time with family (or your family of friends) if at all possible. It's something to be thankful for. This weekend, getting in the same headspace and heartspace as a certain someone is easy. You might even start musing about the future.

Get out your magnifying glass on Monday, and maybe also a flashlight and a notebook. Brace yourself: Your fact-finding initiative may take a while. But getting frustrated early on will only make you less productive. Tuesday and Wednesday, a work partner has the perfect solution to a persistent problem (but it's incumbent upon you to draw it out of them). Thursday and Friday, a ripple in your relationship with this partner can be expected. Suddenly you're reminded that not everyone shares the same long-term goals. The more honesty you get out of this person, the better.

It goes without saying that a great mate for you has to be able to engage your intellectual side. At the beginning of the week, though, an abstract debate with your partner or a potential one could turn personal -- be ready to find some common ground. If matters of the heart have your mind in a tizzy around Thursday, time spent in cozy, familiar environs with cozy, familiar folks can help you feel more grounded. And once you're grounded, you'll be ready to try on the fresh perspective that the weekend serves up just for you.

The movie in your mind is out of focus on Monday. You have a sense of where things are heading, but the specifics elude you; your imagination is doing a lot of the work. Take pleasure in this. Tuesday and Wednesday are very much about your social life. And, as it happens, your social life and your work life are not mutually exclusive these days. Thursday and Friday, as focused as you are on not spending money, you're also thinking a lot about music and art. As far as cerebral activity is concerned, this is an unusual combination. The truth is that you're thinking about all kinds of things.

Your increased happy-go-lucky attitude and faith in yourself give you even more than your regular dose of natural appeal as the week begins. Whoever can make you laugh wins your heart now -- or at least a piece of it! Around Thursday, you're in a practical mindset; if a family or social event is on tap, you'll be a key contributor. It looks like a never-a-dull-moment kind of weekend, with your nimble mind and sharp wit keeping you and everyone you meet on their toes. Singles can fascinate someone new now, while the coupled up refresh the dynamic effortlessly.

You're essentially useless on Monday. You present a passive face to the world, but that belies what's really going on. Within your mind, you're on a teetering seesaw, utterly indecisive about your next move. Tuesday and Wednesday, cut yourself some slack. Let your days be lazy. Thursday and Friday could go either way, happiness-wise, but if you're on the ball and aware that you might not be coming across the way you intend, you're more likely to do well. Saturday and Sunday, put a moratorium on your own feelings and lose yourself in the pages of a book.

If you're not feeling the smooth flow of energy in the love department as the week begins, do something to get it going. Random acts of sweetness get the good romantic karma on its way back to you. Continue this proactive approach around Thursday, but with a different slant: Take conscious steps toward maintaining balance. Family may be in the forefront, but that doesn't mean matters of the heart should be totally back-bannered. This weekend, a certain someone may not be responding very emotionally, but perhaps it's just their way -- and maybe you're doing enough of that for the both of you.

Someone you adore, a good friend or a romantic partner, stops by work on Monday, and everything changes. On the other hand, nothing changes, at least nothing that anyone else would notice. Certain people just have a way of making any day better. Tuesday and Wednesday are smooth sailing (if never-ending), but Thursday and Friday provide plenty of examples of why you love what you do. They also give you an excuse to boast -- in a way that doesn't seem like boasting. Not that you love to boast. But, like the next person, you don't mind a little professional recognition.

Yes, you're all practicality and planning -- except maybe when it comes to love, and especially as this week begins. Getting carried away can be amazing, but don't lose touch with reality entirely. Expect good outcomes around Thursday and Friday. Spending time with family is rewarding now, but a little romance is in the air too. A certain someone might just bring out your tender, passionate side. If you've got the inclination to wear something a little different or change your approach a bit this weekend, you should absolutely go for it. You're a many-splendor creature!

If something doesn't quite make sense on Monday, put it under a microscope and fuss with the settings until you see all the rich, colorful details. Not that you need to be familiar with every one of these details -- but at this stage you don't know which are crucial and which can be ignored. Tuesday and Wednesday blow you away. Lots of smiling. Lots of romance. Expect your professional realm to benefit from these good tides. Thursday and Friday, you're more receptive to other people than usual -- you're more curious about their approach to work and much more open to renovating your own habits.

You're your irrepressible self and then some as the week begins, full of the kind of fun that's hopelessly alluring. Tell it like it is when it comes to how you're feeling -- why not? Around Thursday, it's time to lend a helping hand rather than concentrate on yourself. You'll be thankful for the good karma that comes right back around your way in the near future. As far as the weekend goes, singles just might find some sweetness in a place they'd least expect it, so kick those expectations to the curb. The coupled up might have to let the ol' ego go a bit in order to move forward.

Monday is like walking through a river in knee-high rubber boots. It takes more time and strength than you would think. Whatever concerns you have about the pace of your progress, set them aside for now. Tuesday and Wednesday, it dawns on you that, for the time being, the speed of your projects is not nearly as important as the quality of the relationships you make along the way. But Thursday and Friday you're not cut out for relationship-building. You're not even cut out for small talk. You have too many things to do before the weekend! (And it will be a great weekend, by the way.)

You're not much of a joiner (you rebel, you!), but at the beginning of this week, find those who share your values and you'll feel a sense of community. An infusion of energy is waiting -- and singletons might just hook up with an interesting individual. Some buried emotions may surface around Thursday, perhaps prompted by old patterns. Be ready with positivity and a plan to process it. You're always in a class by yourself, and this weekend's no exception: Your individuality has a special, sexy sparkle. You're extra-popular with the people who count -- and perhaps one person in particular.

Reassessment is the order of the day on Monday. Goals that once seemed so shining and achievable are revealed to be further away than you initially thought, and your sense of other people is changing as well. These sudden shifts in perspective make you slightly woozy, but by the middle of the week you're taking the turns as they come. As any seasoned driver will tell you, keeping your eyes trained on the middle of the road is the way to make it through a winding pass. Thursday and Friday, you find yourself unwittingly having achieved something you thought impossible. Hilarious!

Yes, you can expect some family (or friendly) obligations this week, but that doesn't mean love should go by the wayside. Make an overture or express a feeling on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday -- it'll break the tension and could have wonderful results. Even if you're busy with other things on Thursday and Friday, the stars say that all matters romance-related are favored. Find time to fit in some sweet fun. This weekend, you could suddenly see an entirely different -- and improved -- way to go about a problem.

On Monday, you're better off keeping your feet out of the water, rather than putting your toes in and having one of the sharks bite them off. A convoluted metaphor, yes -- but you get the idea. There's a lot bubbling to the surface this week, but it's impossible to tell from the bubble pattern what exactly is going on down there. A question mark is suspended over your head all day on Wednesday. It isn't until Thursday that work becomes decipherable, easier and more enjoyable. On Friday and this weekend you get a workout helping others.

Sure, you're dreamy, but as this week begins, you'll find plenty to interest you in reality -- and the more tuned in you are, the bigger the romantic rewards. Hint: A few well-chosen words make a much hotter impact than a monologue. Around Thursday, any group you're a part of is delighted to count you as a member. The energy is more embracing than romantic, but a sense of belonging grounds you nicely. Zeroing in on what (or whom) you want this weekend could be tough -- but that means you're open to all of love's myriad possibilities. Good for you!
