Overview : Your pride is unmistakable, justified and a part of who you are, but sometimes it gets you in trouble. Right now, someone who needs to get a sense of what's really happening is having a hard time seeing past you.
Extended : When trouble pops up, today, you can't look to anyone else to solve the problem. You are in control, and you will have to be the one to stay cool in the face of hot tempers. The best thing you can do is to lead by example. If you don't fly off the handle, then no one else will feel entitled to fly off the handle, either! Stay smiling, and ask questions in order to get a better grip on what is going on. You might have to sort through the answers, though. Not everyone is telling the truth.
Work : Sit back in your cubicle and watch a beautiful show. Ego clashes are like flashes of lightening today. They're beautiful to watch but deadly if you get hit.
Home & Garden : Networking takes on a different meaning today as you rant over hardware and software issues. Be nice to the technician who comes to the rescue instead of acting like it's his or her fault. Be sure to write down any tips you are given for later use.

Overview : Figuring out what you want is the first order of the week. Go slowly on Monday and Tuesday, because by Wednesday your plan (or lack thereof) will demand all of your time and commitment. Thursday and Friday are slightly more bewildering -- plans may go haywire and for-sure appointments might suddenly cancel. If you can loosen your grip and go along with the sudden changes of plan, you'll end up having a better time than you would with your original aims. Over the weekend, tread lightly, especially if you're discussing a touchy topic with a loved one -- emotions will be running high.
Business : Time may be short at the beginning of the week, but your worklife is long -- think about the benefits of lending a hand and building relationships. A few minutes can go a long way. Then you'll want to take a step sideways in order to see the best path forward starting Wednesday. Get a different perspective and survey the whole scene, not just what's mounded highest on your place. And if you're working this weekend, find out more and brainstorm instead of setting plans in stone. Your creative powers are your best asset now.
Travel : The best way to avoid any kind of unpleasantness while you're abroad is to exercise impulse control, especially during the beginning of the week. Remember that all feelings are valid, but it's how you act upon those feelings that really make an impact. If something truly discombobulating happens, don't worry about fixing it. If you give yourself enough time and space, a solution will naturally emerge, especially around the middle or last part of the week. Over the weekend, you see it all come together in a grand design. Congratulate yourself on your coolness of mind.
