Overview : You're feeling the urge to volunteer for the community or get involved politically -- anything that helps lots of people. Your time and energy can be put to good use, so find the right group and do something! Extended : A person in your life who is usually lagging behind everyone else has suddenly zoomed right past you in some regard, either career-wise or romance-wise. Their transformation will probably be shocking to you, but it should also be inspiring! It's time to think about making a few changes in your own life and in your own goals. You don't have to do anything drastic, but it's important to realize that nothing in your life will change unless you make it change. Work : If you use your intellect all day long, it's nice to be able to turn it off when you go home. If you find yourself longing for that point earlier and earlier each day, then it's time for a personal day. Take one. Home & Garden : You are sure to raise eyebrows today. Just to prove your kitschiness, your snow room now boasts a retro dial phone. Be careful who you tell 'the phone goes with the rubber (boots, galoshes, what were you thinking?)'
Overview : You want to make progress, but if you're honest with yourself, you're not exactly sure what your ambitions are. The first part of the week is ideal for thinking about plans and making concrete goals. The more specific those goals are, the more achievable they'll be. Use the last half of the week to explore other avenues of possibility that come up once you have an idea or two in place. It's not easy to decide what you want to be when you grow up, but the nice thing is that anything is possible. Use the weekend to get in touch with your true passions -- no lying in front of the TV allowed. Business : Timely discussion of direction and goals is key at the beginning of the week, whether with your boss, subordinates or team. Don't shy away from taking charge; others will be either grateful or impressed that you're driving the process. Then beginning Wednesday, position yourself to contribute to the creative aspects of projects and planning. You're an awesome abstract thinker now; let the ideas flow. And when the weekend comes, you've got both imagination and intellect going on -- ideal for exploring all kinds of possibilities, both work-related and personal. Travel : Keeping track of practical matters can be a challenge at the beginning of the week, but you must rise to it -- there's nothing more infuriating than arriving at your destination only to discover you're missing a crucial piece of paperwork. Explore esoteric and unfamiliar ways of thinking, whether that means taking a class, eating the local cuisine or agreeing to wear a T-shirt with a silly slogan in public. The end of the week is a good time to slow down, otherwise you can feel overwhelmed by all the new sights and sounds you've encountered in the last few days.
