Overview : It's a good time for introspection -- your social energy is dwindling, and the best way to recharge it is to think through your plans and your past. Close the door, find a quiet place and reflect. Extended : What you used to think was important in your life might not seem so important today. It's time to reevaluate your priorities. The world around you is going through some changes, and your perspective is shifting right along with it. Putting new ideas to work is what you should focus on right now. Listen to foreign music, watch a new television show, or pick up a nonfiction book about something completely unfamiliar. Educate yourself and broaden your horizons. Work : Romance flutters in your brain like a butterfly in spring. Everything seems to glitter with subliminal promise. Stuff your eyes with wonder, drink in the beauty and try to keep some of your wits about you. Home & Garden : Pretty and practical rule the day. A bright shiny muffin tin, tied through with a bright bow makes a cute container for makeup and hair supplies.
Overview : Take it easy on Monday, and give yourself time to think. Finding the source of your emotions is important now, whether they're negative or positive. Then, around Tuesday and Wednesday, your inhibitions might just go out the window, and it just might be a marvelous thing. Why not do what you feel, say what you mean and make the most of life? You're hot now! This ought to be out of your system by Thursday, and the rest of the week looks low-key. You're working things through, professionally or personally, or even both. Good for you. Business : Be ready for some criticism on Monday. If it doesn't feel constructive, breathe deep and explore with questions instead of getting bent out of shape. Then all through the middle of the workweek, you're in the zone if the stars have their say. Your best skills -- the interpersonal, the presentational, the imaginative -- are extra sharp now and you're particularly attuned to how others can best contribute, too. (Add leadership to the list!) And on Friday and over the weekend, be especially prudent about business or personal purchases. Travel : When it comes to thinking outside the box, you take the cake (and the icing, too). If you're at a business conference, everyone wants to go to the big chain restaurant, but you know a taqueria that's authentic and cheap, cheap, cheap. If you're on vacation, the family wants to go to a water park but you know a local resort that's beautiful and not too touristy. What to do? Well, marshal your arguments (don't forget to use statistics and photos), but don't hard sell people. Then you'll feel too responsible if they say yes. State your argument, show the evidence, then get out of the way.
