Week Beginning On January 05, 2013

Number 1 (Born on 1st, 10th, 19th, 28th of any month)

If this upcoming week seems likely to be routine, go out of your way to create a memorable experience. Try a homemade dinner with a loved one, a day full of lively events with a family member, or a unique party with friends. When you keep a smile on your face at work, you’ll find your colleagues are receptive to what you’re saying and willing to sacrifice in order to arrive at the best solutions for everyone.

Number 2 (Born on 2nd, 11th, 20th, 29th of any month)

You might feel under pressure this week, but if you step back and look at each event separately, you’ll notice that most of the pressure is self-imposed. You can relax by organizing tasks into manageable segments and only looking as far forward as you can comfortably go. If you need to deal with a larger event, solicit help so you won’t be the only one involved. Your financial situation is far better than you think it is, but it’s fine to pull a few dollars out of your savings if you need to cover various odds and ends.

Number 3 (Born on 3rd, 12th, 21st, 30th of any month)

This week can be an experiment in spontaneity for you. Packing your schedule recently has dwindled your enthusiasm for time spent with friends and family, so try planning nothing this week and see how it works out. At work, give yourself permission to make mistakes when executing a large project. Some luck is headed your way on the financial front, so you’ll soon have the opportunity to treat yourself however you’d like.

Number 4 (Born on 4th, 13th, 22nd, 31st of any month)

A slight dent in your pride might come up this week when an associate takes issue with something you’ve done, but the matter is simply a misunderstanding that can be resolved if you explain your point better. Promising new ideas will result if you set your focus on innovation rather than improving on existing tasks, so try to get others invested in your brainstorming sessions. You’ll need to relax at the end of the week, so curl up with a good book and take it easy.

Number 5 (Born on 5th, 14th, 23rd of any month)

It may feel as if you’re straddling two worlds this week, the personal and the professional, but you enjoy the freedom you have to dip between both of them and play different roles at leisure. You might have to favor the professional more heavily in the coming days, as a work-related event requires you to be dignified and carry yourself accordingly. It will also allow you the opportunity to meet many new people who may become friends, so crank up your social skills into high gear.

Number 6 (Born on 6th, 15th, 24th of any month)

Putting others’ interests ahead of your own is your natural inclination, but this week it will be best to look out for number one first. Others have demanded a lot from you lately, and while you’ve succeeded in every way, you’re a bit worn out and could stand to lighten your load. Stimulate your mind and your pocketbook by taking a quick trip out of town this weekend if possible.

Number 7 (Born on 7th, 16th, 25th of any month)

Lots of fun is ahead for you this week, but you’ll have to get through the grunt work first. Proper planning can make a big difference when it comes to executing a project successfully, so fine-tune the details before you begin. When it’s finally time to relax, really unleash yourself. If you let work creep into your mind, you run the risk of feeling like you never had a break at all. Pick up where you left off with a loved one. Keep away from luxury spending in the next couple of weeks, but picking up a few extra items here and there won’t do your pocketbook any lasting damage.

Number 8 (Born on 8th, 17th, 26th of any month)

If someone you know appears confrontational this week, don’t take offense. Instead, go in that person’s direction and tease the real issue out into the open. A gem of a co-worker does you a huge favor this week. While they don’t necessarily expect to be repaid, it would solidify your working relationship if you returned the good deed by doing something thoughtful for them as well.

Number 9 (Born on 9th, 18th, 27th of any month)

Changing a facet of your appearance this week may garner praise from unexpected sources. If you’re feeling self-conscious about the change, you’ll emerge with renewed confidence at the end of the week after all the compliments you’ll receive. That might give you the incentive you need to grow more daring with your look on a daily basis, so feel free to try whatever’s on your mind. At work, lend your attention to a project that requires far more introspection than your usual tasks.
