Whoa! You have your eye on the prize as the week begins, but there’s more to life than this one particular goal. Slow down, look around and consider the full spectrum of priorities. Around Wednesday, the give and take of life is richly rewarding, whether it’s at work, with friends or in a relationship. Lend a hand, and get some support yourself — it’ll feel great. Taking it easy isn’t always easy for you, but give it a try on Friday or Saturday; quiet time clears your head. On Sunday, you’ve got just the idea for some fun.

You’re starting the week off on the right foot as the week begins, if the Universe has its say. Get grounded — with exercise, meditation, those who make you feel most wonderful — and you can reach for the stars. Around Wednesday, though, the world may feel like it’s pushing you. Will you push back, or go with the flow and see where it takes you? Your personal connections and community both figure prominently on Friday and Saturday. Let your network work for you, and give back, too. On Sunday, a leisurely brunch with a loved one is exactly the thing that makes you happy.

A significant other, a friend or someone you’re partnering with at work at the beginning of the week may need handling with care. Listen carefully to what they’re saying, and urge them to verbalize the between-the-lines stuff. Around Wednesday, are you being fickle or are you truly considering new ideas and points of view? Make sure things are legit before incorporating. Creative activities and pursuits suit you on Friday and Saturday, and getting creative about communication helps, too. On Sunday, someone’s got some words of wisdom for you.

Retreating into your shell (just a bit!) might not be a bad idea as the week begins. Do check in with loved ones, though, and let your boss know exactly what you’re working on prior to clamping on the headphones. Around Wednesday, you may still be feeling sensitive, but exercise your emotional intelligence, too; you’ll see different aspects of situations around you. You’ve got a knack for connecting with others — and proceeding to a deeper level — on Friday and Saturday. Inquire about their personal philosophies, and enjoy the discussion. On Sunday, practice patience with a friend or relative.

A random or not-so-random act of kindness gets the week off to a positive start — and that’s you performing one, not waiting for it to come to you! Around Wednesday, you’ll want to take your outlook, turn it upside-down and shake well for best results. A terrific solution to a certain situation requires only a little stretch of the old noggin. Then let both intellect and instinct weigh in on Friday and Saturday, especially when it comes to others. Look and listen more than you talk. Then, on Sunday, someone may.

You’ve got your head on straight and a definite twinkle in your eye as the week begins — a stellar combination for both work and love. Around Wednesday, kick a preconception, an expectation or a well-worn favorite way of doing something to the curb, then try several ways of replacing it. Feels risky? Good. Then — gosh! — others are so slow on Friday and Saturday. But acting impatient won’t hurry things along. Go at your own pace, and let them do the same. You may be ready to take issue with someone on Sunday, but if it’s an older relative, choose your battle carefully.

Expect some emotional ups and downs as the week begins. Be ready to breathe, meditate or maybe run screaming through it, and have someone who understands ready on speed-dial. Around Wednesday, it’s the upside that’s emphasized, and the chance of romance is high! A new sweetie — or renewed fun with a dear old one — awaits. Get ready, get set, go! Big agenda items and projects may be hard to cross off your list on Friday and Saturday, but smaller stuff can be surprisingly satisfying. On Sunday, a certain relationship can flourish under your care.

Look at you, biding your time and making brilliant plans as the week begins. You’ve got patience with a purpose, and calm, cool and collected suits you. Things may be rockier around Wednesday; are you contributing to the drama or just in the audience? It’s easier to find it amusing (and stay nice and neutral) as an onlooker, so consider your role carefully. On Friday and Saturday, let the good times roll — and let your love show. You’re much admired now, so enjoy the attention. Keep the love energy going on Sunday rather than getting entangled in an argument.

It’s not like you to be less than generous, but tightening the purse strings and taking an overall conservative approach may be best as the week begins. Around Wednesday, you’re making connections that completely crackle, both in your mind and with others. You’re electric, and you just might do something shockingly brilliant. If you’re fuzzier on Friday and Saturday, well … everyone needs downtime, and you’re probably processing something important. Do something to recharge. Sunday’s a fun day — play a game, see family and friends, just enjoy.

Your famous persistence pays off at the beginning of the week. Check up on a situation or connection you’ve been cultivating, and you’ll likely see great results. Around Wednesday, approaching a different idea (or the person who has it) with caution makes sense, but don’t dismiss it (or them) outright. Expanding your repertoire is a possibility now, and something outlandish could be the starting point. You’re awfully impressive on Friday and Saturday, what with your rock-steady heart and open mind. Dare to show you care, and watch what happens. Family’s in the forefront on Sunday.

Get a little help with managing your time and setting your priorities from a mentor or friend as the week begins. Otherwise, the first couple of days this week will be a time-suck. Around Wednesday, though, you’re on top of the world and reaching for the stars, if the Universe has its way. Big stuff at work, in romance, related to personal growth — it’s all possible now. Then it’s time to get more practical on Friday and Saturday. How will you keep on track? What will you do to stay motivated? When do you take the next steps? Take an objective look. Then, on Sunday, you may have a breakthrough.

Do a little planning as the week begins — for work, your social life, your personal projects. You’ll be that much more impressive as the days progress. Around Wednesday, an interesting vision may come your way. Surrounding yourself with what inspires you helps cue it, as does getting grounded and opening your heart and mind. Then, you’re downright inspiring on Friday and Saturday. Affection with friends, hot stuff with a certain someone and fun all over the place is favored — not to mention transformation. Sunday finds you dreaming all day.
