It may feel like you are skateboarding when it comes to work; everything seems to speed up, then slow down. Although your mind may be on the workweek, thoughts drift over to vacation, fun in the sun and doing things you don‘t normally do. This week‘s new moon will bring new opportunities for networking, which could bring a new job offer. Or, this could be your week to see where you stand professionally and what your next steps should be to get where you‘re going. Don‘t be surprised if you are nominated for an award or get a raise or bonus from the boss. If you aren‘t planning a trip, then you may find yourself wanting to renovate your house. It‘s hard to recruit help from those around you, but setting up a schedule of chores and responsibilities will help. Whether it‘s for your family or roommates, everyone should do their fair share. And you are the best person to delegate work when it comes to fairness. So don‘t be afraid to be a bit bossy, just remember to put sugar on top.

After much trial and error, you finally know what you want in your career and you are ready to go for it. You have come to establish some concrete goals and have slowly but surely achieved what you set out to do. Naysayers or those who had little faith in you in the past can now eat their words and recognize how proficient and good you‘ve become at everything you turn your hand at. Promotions, new jobs, or more peace at work is something you can look forward to. Be clear to higher-ups or bosses; let them know what you want and that you aim to get it. If you work for yourself expect more praise from clients. Life on the home front may be a bit hectic, but nothing you can‘t handle. Organization may not be your biggest strong suit, but this week you may surprise yourself as you gather family members and inspire them to put their best effort into any home project. Someone may tap you on the shoulder to ask for some advice. You are the perfect person to give it.

There may be a few changes you want to make at home. Your thoughts could be drifting into getting rid of items that are collecting dust. Clearing out the cobwebs will breed new ideas, help you solve problems and unblock space for new things. You could be experiencing warm and fuzzy feelings in regard to your community. Although you may experience a few delays in getting things going in the right direction with a community project, your optimism will see you through. Something may come up where you can use your skills and talents to help further a cause that is near and dear to your heart. Don‘t be surprised if new opportunities come up at work. You could be embarking on a whole new career. So keep yourself open to the possibilities because there is an endless sea of potentiality out there. You have such high energy that walking, or jogging could be just want you need to let out that pent up energy. If you can‘t find the time for exercise, then focus on taking more steps than you normally do.

It looks like you may get a boost in the financial sector after scrambling around to make ends meet the past few weeks. Delays for money coming in and solutions for money going out has been high on your list lately. But you can rest assured the tides are turning and moneymaking opportunities may be coming your way, particularly if you decide to work on something online. If you are interviewing for a job, ask for a higher salary and stick to it. Know your worth and don‘t mark yourself down to bargain basement prices. Things may be running smoothly on the home front. You may be asked to help a relative or friend move or rearrange furniture, or their life! Helping could come in the form of good, sound advice, which you have an abundance of. One of the best ways to improve your health is to give yourself some time to recuperate from projects or activities. When we rush from place to place, we lose our sense of purpose and regret the time we waste. Love yourself enough to take a rest.

Old friends and associates are getting in touch, making it a very pleasant week for you. It‘s a time to reminisce and rejuvenate work contacts, but also a great time to laugh about the old days. Responsibilities at home, or a bad relationship, could be hindering progress when it comes to work. Work relationships could become a bit strained as you handle someone who abuses their position of power. Take it all with a grain of salt because their "ego" is not your problem, and it will pass. You teach through example, so keeping your cool, will keep their ego at bay. You handle everything in your stride and try to give everyone enough space to be who they are. Just be careful not to sacrifice yourself too much, or lose sight of what you really want right now. By the end of the week you‘ll be gaining more cooperation from those your love and those at work. So any disagreements are temporary. Water is your friend this week, go swim in it, but most importantly drink it. It will strengthen your immune system and help you sleep.

Spiritual life is high on the agenda for you this week as you try to plan a retreat or a place where you can regroup and recharge after many hectic weeks at work. Spare and hour or two for a massage or beauty treatment as you‘ll find it very soothing and healing. Mercury enters your sign this week, making you a rock star when it comes to communications. Whatever you write or speak about will gain a lot of attention and people will be seeking your advice on a variety of topics. So be prepared to shine as you get your point across in an enlightening and innovative way. You are also opened to new ideas, and a new idea is like a seed that has to be watered and nurtured to bear fruit. Let your idea grow slowly and evolve at its own pace, there is no need to rush. When it comes to health, you may be weighing out your options and figuring out ways to balance mind, body and spirit. Exploring new foods will be part of that process.

It‘s not a good time for firm commitments. Friends may want to take up your time and it could be tempting to accept an invite or two. You could be in the mood to organize events or to network and interact. But don‘t commit yet as something better may come along, or you may just want to rest from social activities and focus more on work. You could also find yourself being slightly more competitive at work. Competition is good, it breeds excellence, and you are on the fast track to excellence. So keep on track to realize your ultimate goals. There‘s a special energy around you, a sort of fluid energy where everything starts to come together. This energy is dominant when it comes to areas of health, partly because you are putting other‘s needs before yourself. This always elevates the spirit. You may be inspired to evaluate what you put into your body and make the right choices for yourself. Filling up the pantry or fridge with healthy food will definitely be part of your agenda this week.

Are you worried about being in the spotlight? Don‘t worry; you got this. Even if you are uncertain you can make great strides by taking advantage of the opportunity to show what you‘re made of. Don‘t be afraid to advertise your skills and let people know your power and what you can do. Just do it in a way where you don‘t appear too pushy, as that could work against you. Just be your charming self and all will be well. Your social life will pick up later this week, encouraging you to get in touch with friends you haven‘t seen for a while. Don‘t be surprised if you end up joining a gym or sports club at the urging of an old pal. When it comes to changing your lifestyle, this could be your week when you are finally inspired to work out a bit more or watch what you eat. Taking that extra step will go a long way in cutting medical bills later. It‘s a good time to plan a trip or see a good friend; you may discover something delightful about yourself.

Over extending yourself is not going to help anyone in the long run. Sometime the best way to help people is to just have them figure it out themselves. You give more and more without seeing much results. Letting go of someone else‘s problem is high on your list this week. You are probably exhausted from trying to solve everyone‘s problems so take a break. You don‘t have to stop being generous, just be a little more realistic about what you can offer. Your time is valuable so see if you even have time to be of service at this time. Be careful not to interview in someone‘s inner process. Your heart is in the right place, but your friends or relatives will simply have to figure life out without you. While you‘re being mindful, catch your own tendency to overindulge, whether that‘s with food, drinking, love or sex. The more self-care you give yourself, the more balance you‘ll achieve in your life--and the less likely you‘ll be to swing between emotional extremes. The good news is you are in control of your life, and have your hand firmly gripped on the steering wheel.

Watch the company you keep this week. People who are well meaning, even friends or relatives could take you down a different path and hinder your progress. You may meet a slippery character that is charming on the outside but slimy on the inside. Luckily your own sixth sense is pretty strong right now, helping you see the wheat from the shaft, and to make an accurate discernment of who is in your orbit. Moneymaking ideas are flying around you, and you are likely to grab those ideas, put them on paper, and evaluate which ones will bring you the fastest return. Even if you need to invest to build a business venture, or invest to learn your trade better, now is a good time to make that decision. Writing down what you know how to do is an exercise in creativity because it gives you more confidence in your existing abilities and what your potential is to learn. You could be enjoying the summer sun and perhaps working out more than usual. Your activity level is high so make sure to continuously hydrate. Water is your friend.

It‘s all about connections this week. You may encounter a partner or someone who will help you realize your full potential. This great meeting of the minds will only enhance work and career opportunities. Just make sure you all are on the same page or share the same vision for the project or goal at hand. Also make sure your high ambitions are in sync together and you‘ll avoid any "buzzkill" that might come if you discover this person or company is not the partnership you thought it would be. Nevertheless, all this is a good sign of great things to come when it comes to business. You are meeting the right people, some will help, others not so much. But you‘ll figure out which are the best people to be around. Making sure life on the home front is smooth could present a challenge. Relatives or friends you live with may not like your suggestions or take your lead when it comes to keeping things in order. But never fear your gift for organization and leadership will see you through.

One is a lonely number, so you don‘t want to step away from a team effort and go it alone. You‘ll find yourself spinning your wheels and going in circles if you try to do anything alone. This is a good week to build your team, whether at home or at work and to provide inspiration and encouragement when needed. Your soft nature tends to smooth things over pretty well when it comes to the job or home life, so you can bet you‘ll be the calming force. Just look back at all you‘ve accomplished by being yourself. You may want to dust off your suitcase or camping gear because it‘s a perfect time of a little get-away, whether in the woods at the lake, or a trip to a foreign land or city. It‘s all about broadening your horizons and doing what you must to learn something new or just relax. Don‘t forget to maintain your vitality and the good health with the right exercise and diet. You don‘t have to do anything drastic, just load up on natural foods and pass the grease.
