ARIES (March. 21-
April 20)
If things at the office are topsy-turvy on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, don't
blow your top. Instead, take advantage of the chaos to find the weak
links in the system. Who's freaking out? Who's staying calm? How's the
voice mail system working? The toilets? Get out your super glue and your
office-problems caulk and get started reinforcing whatever weaknesses
you discovered as things calm down on the 8th. That way, you can really
relax and have a good time over the weekend of the 12th -- now that you
know your work life is shipshape. The 17th, send some emails, and you'll
get some astounding (and astoundingly good!) responses. The 21st, you
will get some positive news. By the 26th, rest and enjoy your weekend --
when work starts back up (round about the 28th) you'll be in good shape
to start a few new things.

Taurus (April 21 - May 20)
As the
month starts out, you're thinking hard about taking some of your
professional resolutions public. On the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, then, you're
considering how and when and to whom you want to reveal your career
aspirations. Whether it's your honey, your brother-in-law or your boss
you open up to, it always helps to let folks know what you're thinking.
The 8th and 9th, you and an irritable colleague could (finally) have a
little blow-up. Be sure things work out your way. The 13th, take your
time with a complicated decision. You could be inclined to rush through
your end-of-the-week tasks on the 18th and just start the weekend --
don't blow off your responsibilities! You need to take your time. On the
23rd, that run-in with your irritable colleague could have developed
into a full-throttle struggle for office dominance. Don't let them win!
By the time the 28th comes along, you'll have rediscovered your passion
for your work -- and with it, your indomitable power!

GEMINI (May 22- June 21)
It's the perfect season for sharing, and as the month gets started,
you're thinking about how you might be able to tailor your work to give
something back to society. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd are especially good days
for exploring avenues that could lead to a real sense of fulfillment.
The 9th, you switch from 'intuitive' to 'intellectual' mode, with some
fascinating results, and by the 13th, you turn to your heart for some
ideas. The 16th, 17th and 18th, you have a series of career
breakthroughs that leave you feeling absolutely fantastic. Whether you
realize you want to donate your beauty-school expertise and give
makeovers to the underprivileged or you decide to share your knowledge
of herbal healing with the public, you'll hit upon exactly the right
path. The 23rd, you get into a stimulating debate, and the 28th, you
start a whole bushel of new projects.

CANCER (June 22- July 22)
This month marks a real sea change for you when it comes to your career.
Whether you actually switch jobs or just start thinking about doing so,
the 1st, 2nd and 3rd are very intense what-do-I-want days. You'll come
up with a few fantastic ideas (Do you want to design egg cozies? build
skyscrapers? found a soup kitchen?) on the 10th and 11th. The 16th, you
start breaking out of whatever cookie-cutter career mold you were
(uncomfortably) fitting yourself into, and the 19th and 20th are
sparkling, shining, magical and terrific days. Your plans for those egg
cozies (skyscrapers, soup recipes) are going to get a big boost.
Somebody out there with capital thinks you have great ideas! You have a
lot to be happy about, and once you're back at the old grindstone on the
28th, you'll know a lot more about where you're heading than you did at
the beginning of the month.

LEO (July 23- Aug 22)
When it
comes to work this month, you're going to need to be just a little bit
on guard. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd, it's not exactly a Three Musketeers
situation at the office, but it's not so different, either. There's a
shady figure who's up to something naughty, and you might want to keep
your rapier at the ready in case that higher-up sets a trap for you and
your hearty band of colleagues. If you swordfighters stick together,
you'll persevere by the 12th (after some clashes on the 8th and 9th).
The 17th, why don't you and your buddies at the office come up with a
counterattack if you're faced with any nastiness (like downsizing or a
cut in project funds)? The 16th, 17th and 18th, you're likely to
succeed. By the 23rd, you wrap up a 'fantastique' couple of days. On the
30th, well, it'd behoove you to be on guard at work again.

VIRGO (Aug
23- Sep 23)
You
know, you are naturally as curious as that monkey named George -- if not
curiouser. So is your job giving you enough room to roam? Can you make
mistakes? Where's the Man in the Yellow Hat when you need him? The 1st,
2nd and 3rd, ask yourself these questions (and more!). Like: What's in
that cabinet in the supply room? And where is your career heading? The
9th, play with your situation and see what you can change. The 14th and
15th, find compatible coworkers and go out to lunch with them. You could
come up with some interesting new ideas the weekend of the 19th and
20th, and by the 24th and 25th, you're thanking your lucky stars for
your new career innovations. The 26th, 27th and 28th, make sure whatever
you do (work, play or both) satisfies your ever-present curiosity.

LIBRA (Sep 24- Oct 23)
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you are focused -- if 'focused'
means aimed with unnerving, laser-sharp precision on a microscopically
exact target -- on work. Yep, you aren't wasting another minute
twiddling your thumbs and ho-humming around what you want. This month,
you're figuring out what you want -- and how to get it -- and the whole
darned thing makes you feel pretty darned good. The 8th, don't forget to
apply some of your zanier creative talents to your work, and the 12th,
take the whole day off from thinking about work. The 14th, an unusual
alliance with an unexpected partner or two (are you teaming up with
balloon-tying artists from the circus for your latest promotional gig,
maybe?) will bring big rewards. But on the 20th, don't let it burst your
bubble (or your balloon animal) if something goes wrong. The 29th,
you're way focused at work once again.

SCORPIO (Oct 23- Nov 22)
Do you
want to become an astronaut? or a cowboy? or a banker? or a watercolor
artist? Perhaps you'd like to start a Danish butter cookie import/export
business? Whatever it is you really, really want, careerwise, is very
likely to be what you get on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd -- if you apply a
little faith and some elbow grease to the project. The 8th, you might
have to pay a little more attention to the people in your non-work life,
and the 13th, you and a coworker could clash if you both go into the
office to catch up on extra work. Try not to fight; it won't help you in
the long run. The 16th, be careful and alert (you don't want to get
hoodwinked by faux Danish butter cookie vendors!). The 21st, you
encounter -- and conquer -- your first big business challenge in a
while. On the 26th, mull it over (whatever 'it' is); by the 29th and
30th, any decision you make is the right one!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23- Dec 21)
Let
your subconscious do the work for you as the month gets going; you could
come up with some very surprising, creative and effective solutions to
some sticky work problems on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. For example, you
might think, 'What better way to build team morale than by skydiving
together?' Or maybe you could get your shyer colleagues to open up -- at
a clambake! The 9th, you should share all your ideas as quickly (and
succinctly) as possible. The 13th, go outside and play some football --
it'll do wonders for your productivity! The 17th, 'bored' is about the
last word in the world that describes how you feel at work (although,
unfortunately, 'stressed' could fit pretty well). The 23rd is a great
day to travel. The 29th, get back to work -- and let your good ol'
subconscious go at it again! It could be a real treat to see what
surfaces when you let go a bit.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22- Jan 20)
The
1st, 2nd and 3rd, you are clear as a bell as far as what you want (and
when, and from whom) at work. It's like your path to the future suddenly
opened before you, each step shining with clarity and purpose! Go ahead
and follow that path, but be ready to make adjustments as you go. The
9th, watch out for any untoward financial schemes (they could cost
you!). The 11th, you could be giving, and receiving, a whole bunch of
help at work. Figure out a way to have it all -- a job you like, time
for friends and family and even some outdoor time -- on the 14th. The
19th is a good time to deal with any unexpected work issues that come up
(even though it's Saturday). The 23rd, exercise extreme caution at work,
and the 28th, don't forget about all the folks who have helped you get
where you are now.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21- Feb 19)
This is
career month for you, starting right away on the 1st. Treat your life
like a career fair -- go ahead and check out all the booths. Have you
ever thought about being flight attendant? or an orangutan trainer? or a
movie producer? Heck, the world is your oyster. You just have to figure
out what your pearl looks like. The 9th, things are really looking up on
the decision-making front. But don't spend too much money on the 11th.
The 15th, ask your Great-Aunt Maude about all the jobs she ever worked
-- inspiration can come when you least expect it. The 17th, you and a
colleague could discover a passionate attraction. On the 23rd, it's time
to settle down and compromise a little, and the 28th, it's back to work
with a bang. What's making all that racket, anyhow? Looks like it's your
bright ideas taking shape!

PISCES (Feb
20- Mar 20)
The
1st, 2nd and 3rd, your motto when it comes to business is 'Be careful!'
Take extra care right now, whatever it is you're doing -- an oversight
could create an inordinate amount of trouble down the road. The 7th, you
are effortlessly connected to your professional network. That's to say,
you're helping others, others are helping you and everybody is getting
new and interesting contacts. The 11th, you finish the week on a real
high note. Great -- you've worked hard for it! The 13th, spend the
afternoon writing poetry. Just do it. The 17th, be careful in your work
once again, as things might be a little confusing. Ask for help if you
can (and you can). The 23rd, stick to your fitness routine to keep
yourself sharp in your professional life, and the 27th, do some personal
bookkeeping. It's time to get creative on the 30th -- but stay careful!
