NEW DELHI: Here is a guide to the week ahead for you. This is your forecast for September 2-8.
Aries
This week is a period of self-awakening and enlightenment, but it is also a period in which you may be a little more subdued than you are compared to your normal self. Take this time for self-reflection and relaxation. Go with this feeling and give yourself the time to think and feel as you need to. Avoid excesses or the temptation to use alcohol as a way of avoiding problems. It is okay to take a break, but do not use things that can numb you from feeling. At work, you might have to work alone or on sensitive tasks. You may become more compassionate towards your co-workers, which is good for interpersonal relations at the workplace. But again, do not confuse this with taking up other people’s burdens – be wise about it.
Tip of the week: Take time to think
Taurus
This week, you may become more popular than before. This is the time to make new connections or reconnect with people you may not have seen. Working Taurians might feel that this week is especially fruitful for establishing cooperation and working as a team. Your peers will value your input, and you may be inclined to assume a leadership position. This is also a good time to introduce new ideas or projects at work since your superiors will be receptive to your ideas. For single Taurians, love could stem from friendship. Be attentive to people who can become your potential partners; look for them among friends or acquaintances. If you are a student, group assignments or study groups could be especially effective. It is a good time to explore new programmes and talk to the alumni.
Tip of the week: Make new connections
Gemini
During the course of the week, present your best image in any interaction with the public. Whether you are in your workplace, going through your day’s chores or attending a social event, do not forget you are always making an impression. You must choose your words carefully because they will be powerful. For the employed Gemini, this week could be when your efforts are rewarded at the workplace. Your boss may commend you, be in line for a raise or be given a chance to head a project. Self-promotion is not a vice; do not hesitate to make yourself prominent and take credit for your achievements. In love, single Geminis could be drawn to a boss or someone they meet in their workplace or in business circles. It is okay to look for relationships that may develop at the workplace.
Tip of the week: Improve your image
Cancer
This week will open you to new experiences and push you to leave your comfort zone. Talk to people you do not know, start reading about topics that interest you, or even make travel plans to places you have never been to. Employed Cancers may be involved in projects that help them explore other career avenues. You may be required to speak on behalf of your company at a conference, conduct a training session or work with partners from other countries. This week, your skills in perceiving and interacting with people from different cultures will be useful. If you are in a relationship, then it is high time to plan a trip with your partner or indulge in activities that open up new perspectives about life and philosophy.
Tip of the week: Be open to new experiences
Leo
This week will make you explore deeper layers of life. This is the time of deep relationships with people and with the self. Usually, you love attention and do not mind being the centre of attention. This week, you need to change this. Working Leos may notice they are assigned tasks related to organising group assets or dealing with people’s conflicts. You might be required to navigate your team through a crisis or to manage a merger or acquisition. In case you are single, you may be drawn to enigmatic people. It’s possible to have a deep, profound relationship, but be ready for a high-intensity connection. It is not a good time for casual dating – any new partnerships that you enter into now will fundamentally alter your life.
Tip of the week: Work in a team
Virgo
This week, you need to maintain a balance between yourself and your partner’s needs. This is when your inherent predisposition towards critical and perfectionist thinking may be counterbalanced by an appreciation of concord and cooperation. Use this chance to develop your connections and achieve harmony in your relationships. Working Virgos may end up being assigned to tasks that require collaboration or dealing with clients. It may be the right time to pitch the new project or work on developing interpersonal relationships with co-workers and clients. This week’s dating advice is to be yourself and find equilibrium. However, your Virgo side might want to hide all the imperfections, but it is crucial to be yourself.
Tip of the week: Don’t be critical
Libra
This week brings a harmonious energy into your working environment and makes you look for beauty in the mundane tasks. You may find yourself attracted to enhance your health habits and make your workplace more comfortable. Libras at work may find this week especially fruitful regarding interpersonal dynamics at the workplace. Your born-in charisma is magnified, which helps you deal with people in the workplace and office politics. This could be the right time to volunteer for projects that will enable you to demonstrate your ability to foster balance and order. If you are in a relationship, this week is a good one to work on the relationship and spend time together doing activities together. It may be useful for developing new habits together, for instance, taking a daily walk or preparing healthy meals.
Tip of the week: Volunteer for work
Scorpio
This is a good time to use your emotional insight for artistic expression and exploring love. Try to be more relaxed and open this week. It is okay to share your more sensitive, happy side of life with the world. For job seekers, this is the best time as they can find jobs that enable them to be creative in their daily work. This is especially good for jobs in the creative or entertainment industries. Working Scorpios could feel this week especially fruitful if they manage to add some spice to their work. Search for chances to suggest new concepts or to head a new course of action. For single Scorpios, this is the period to start a search for a partner and look for the one you like. You will be charismatic and most attractive to anyone you may be interested in.
Tip of the week: Use your emotional insight
Sagittarius
This week, look for beauty in your home environment and care for your emotional state. This is when your impulse to roam can be turned inward and may lead to new understandings of your emotional requirements and your family. You may find this week especially profitable at work if you can bring a little of the home scene into the office. For the job seekers, this could be a good time to network from home, maybe by having a get-together party or calling up family members for some reference. If you are single, there is a chance that you may be drawn towards individuals who seem to be reliable. Personal introductions or meetings at home or through relatives could result in something fruitful.
Tip of the week: Maintain work-life balance
Capricorn
This week, you will be able to speak fluently and be able to share your ideas and emotions. This is the best time to talk, exchange opinions, and make people understand you and vice versa. For Capricorns already working, this week brings an opportunity to excel during meetings, presentations or group assignments. Your ideas will be appreciated, and you might end up leading group discussions. This is the best time to present new projects to your bosses or bargain for improved work conditions. For single Capricorns, this is the time to start looking for a partner and get into a relationship. Participate in events that will help you develop your thinking skills and also help you interact with people of similar interests.
Tip of the week: Share your opinions
Aquarius
This is a good time to take stock of your lives and return to basics. You may have to begin reflecting on your values and how you can live by them presently. If you are already in a workplace, this week might be when you may see some financial increase or your value in the workplace being acknowledged. It is the right time to ask for a raise or better benefits. But, proceed to such discussions tactfully and with the knowledge of your worth in the company. For singles, this is the time to think about what you want in a partner or what you consider important. This could draw you to dependable people and those of similar moral character as you are.
Tip of the week: Get back to basics
Pisces
This week brings a feeling of a power boost and new self-assurance. You may feel more attractive in the way you look and in how you conduct yourself or your character. It is also a good time to take care of oneself and do personal grooming. If you are already in a job this week, you may get that promotion or bonus you have been waiting for. Your ideas and contributions will be welcomed, and you might experience less difficulty dealing with your colleagues and bosses. This could be the right time for assuming leadership positions or developing new initiatives. If you are in a relationship, this week is perfect for you to rekindle the flame in your relationship and become closer. Your partner may be interested in you and find you very interesting.
