Overview : Your brainpower is stronger than ever right now and all that energy should be put to good use. You may discover that someone you know well has more in common with you than you had ever imagined.
Extended : Make an intellectual connection today and take another look at a controversial idea. Are you sure you still feel the same way about it? It's time to challenge your most cherished convictions and make sure that you are still on the right side of logic and reason. People change, and so do their positions on issues. If you still feel the same way, that's a good sign -- but if you don't feel the same way, then you owe it to yourself to examine why. You are an evolving being, so don't be afraid of change.
Work : Office bonding can happen during the most unlikely of exercises. Even licking envelopes can bring out the romantic in you. Your challenge is to be picky about who you pick.
Home & Garden : You get it out, you use it and you put it back is a good concept, the best in fact when it comes to borrowing your housemate's tools. Hang pegboard and hooks on one side of the garage to keep tools handy.

Overview : Your diplomacy is a gift, but it can also be a double-edged sword. There are times this week when you'll need to employ your most graceful communication skills and other times when only a blunt instrument ('It stinks!') will do. The trick is knowing when to use what mode. Generally, the first half of the week is best devoted to employing some fancy footwork and asking for extensions if necessary. From late Wednesday on, you're actually better off removing the sugar coating from your opinions. Take the weekend to put your feet up -- you've earned it.
Business : Old issues never go away and one or two will be rearing their less-than-pretty heads as the week begins. The guise may change, but in all likelihood the root's the same; keep lessons previously learned very much in mind. Starting Wednesday, however, make sure new projects get some airtime and some breathing room. It's an excellent time to get the right people behind you and on your team. And if you've got expectations about work this weekend -- like putting something to bed or following a specific plan -- be ready to move that thinking around.
Travel : Having a trusted advisor is great when you have to make several decisions in a row, especially when you're making your way through unfamiliar territory. If you're on this trip solo, take some time for meditation or a long walk to get in touch with your inner counselor on Monday and Tuesday. By Thursday, all that inner work has given you a firm center and now you're ready to branch out and explore even further than you did before. The weekend is a great time to write in your journal in a beautiful spot.
