The fires of your romantic life are burning so brightly Monday through Wednesday that you can’t see anything else. The connection isn’t just about physical attraction; it’s deeper and more cerebral than that. Friday finds you tending to some long overlooked chores, although you find them therapeutic. Saturday and Sunday are marked by creativity.

You are not charging out of the gate on Monday. Matter of fact, you might not even leave the house. The start of the week — through Wednesday — you are busy but not particularly ambitious socially. A sense of uncertainty weighs heavily on you, at least until Thursday, when an unexpected romantic development puts a smile on your face.

Think about what you’re going to say, then pick up the phone and place the call. Taking the first few days of the week step-by-step is the best way to survive the frantic — albeit fun — times. Tuesday and Wednesday, if you find yourself flirting with someone, make yourself clear. A blast of energy — lifts your weekend to great heights.

Monday through Wednesday are not great days to make major decisions about the future of your cash. In the present tense, cash will be uncharacteristically flying out of your pockets. Hanging out with someone and talking for hours is the best use of your Friday night. Saturday and Sunday, romance and art are prominent themes.

It’s not raining, it’s pouring the first half of the week — metaphorically, at least. You were in the mood to meet some new people, and a bus full of new people has just pulled up to your life. Chatting, handshaking and even flirting take up your week until Thursday, when money concerns distract you from your social life. The weekend is fun and active.

Your wild side is coming through at the start of the week and people are responding well to it. You are the kind of person who makes an impact. Let your creative brilliance solve whatever conundrums are puzzling the people around you. Toward the middle of the week, your mind fills with possibilities for the future. This is a time for new beginnings.

A party is a fine place to get some things figured out. You and your friends have a casual rapport that strikes fairly deeply, shorthand that lets you talk about weighty issues with lightness and humour. You are constantly impressed by these friends, especially on Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday your chest swells with contentment.

What you need at the outset of the week is the skills of a mathematician. If you’re not a mathematician, just work extra hard to be logical and reasonable when dealing with whatever comes your way. Emotional investment isn’t paying off at this juncture. On Saturday and Sunday, rely on your flexibility and organizational prowess to get everything done.

You’re sick of what you already know. You’d rather wing it in a conversation over a subject you’ve hardly ever considered. Monday through Wednesday you want to experience new things. To grow mentally. To expand. Thursday and Friday, you have little time to acquire information, but the weekend offers plenty of time to stare up at the sky.

As good as it can be to take risks in your life, risks aren’t going to go your way on Monday or Tuesday. Tempted as you are, you’re best off passing them up. Don’t let any minor details escape your attention on Wednesday. Thursday, the tension finally breaks and you can rely more on your wits. Worries about work weigh on you this weekend.

Some people like to sit on the porch and talk about their dreams. You’d rather march into the world and realise yours. But there are a lot of porch-sitters in your life, so for the first half of the week, keep your head down and ignore them. The second half of the week, you’re more open to other people, but you’d still be wise to follow your mood.

People love chatting with you, but your chatting time Monday through Wednesday is crowded out by more pressing tasks. The best way to get through this week is to narrow your aim and strike quickly at everything. As you check things off your list, your momentum will build and you’ll get more. Saturday and Sunday, nothing is as it seems.
