This can be a strange, chaotic time when you may be tempted to avoid responsibilities. Get some perspective here--this time will pass, but you could make it worse with apathy. Your return to a more positive outlook will depend on your perseverance and positive determination. As things begin to improve, and they will, you will gain a focus. A business deal this afternoon will require careful attention. Examine all the contracts and make sure that you have followed all the steps that are necessary in your line of business.

After the workday is over there will be plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the company of friends or family in a no-responsibilities type of evening.

 

The first thing you are greeted with this morning in the working world will probably be the interesting challenges. Although you may complain a bit when no one is around to hear you, you will most likely rub your hands together and become excited about looking for a solution. You like solving problems and superiors see this in you. If you do not want an abundance of difficult cases to solve, you must ask for less of a variety of work.

This is a great week for you to do a little overtime work. You feel energetic and strong and can confidently take the initiative to bring most matters to a quick resolution. A regular customer, friend or neighbor complains constantly. It is not the complaints that need fixing, as much as the need for communication and contact with others for which he or she yearns. Find a friend for this complaining person and you will have a happy customer, friend or neighbor. This afternoon you could be feeling that there is still some sort of unfinished business.
