The week begins on an altruistic note for you. You’ll find plenty of opportunities to lend a helping hand — and what goes around will surely come around. On Wednesday and Thursday, boredom could get the best of you if you’re not careful. Starting on Friday and on into the weekend, the spotlight is on you! You’re positively magnetic right now.

Your Monday and Tuesday could find you hard-pressed to sort out truths from half-truths (not to mention outright lies!), and nothing ends up being quite what it seems. Proceed with caution.

Kick off your week with a surge of adventurous energy! On Monday and Tuesday you’ll be a veritable pioneer, boldly forging new trails and meeting new people everywhere you go.

Slow down on Monday and Tuesday! You’ll find that you’re in an unusual rush — which is weird for you — but just take a deep breath and resist any impulsive urges.

Take the initiative as the week begins. You’re a dynamo on Monday and Tuesday, able to communicate quickly and come up with new plans on the fly (with a little help from your friends, of course). On the weekend, expect to have amazing amounts of energy. You’ll be doing what you love — meeting lots of new people and trying lots of new things — and the world will bend to your every whim.

Don’t overreact as the week begins. Monday and Tuesday could both present emotional challenges, thanks to your temporarily extra-sensitive intellect. If you can stay calm, cool and collected, though, you’ll pull through fine. On Wednesday and Thursday, make plenty of time to socialize. On Sunday afternoon and evening, all eyes are on you.

Ready to learn something new? The beginning of this week should provide more than a few opportunities to discover interesting people and downright amazing ideas — and you’ll even have some fun in the process. On Wednesday and Thursday, your focus will shift to big-picture thoughts on your reputation and career. On Sunday afternoon and evening, others will be drawn to your natural warmth.

As the week begins, you’ll be filled with an unusually assertive sense of purpose. Use this spirit and ambition to get things done on Monday and Tuesday, even if others are reluctant to help. On Friday and on through the weekend, expect to have a quick wit and super-sharp reason — which could be a big help taking care of smoothing out any small details.

You’ll be called on to make a compromise in a one-on-one partnership as the week begins — but fortunately striking a balance is your personal specialty. Find win-win solutions on Monday and Tuesday. On Friday and on into the weekend, you’ll find yourself filled with enthusiasm and plenty of intellectual energy. Have fun batting around big ideas with someone close.

Watch out for trouble as the week begins! You’re filled with initiative and energy on Monday and Tuesday — and it’s a great time to start things — but that assertiveness could bring you into conflict if you’re not careful. On Friday and on into the weekend, exercise some care and caution. You might be tempted to take a risk, but you need to look before you leap.

You can accomplish almost anything as the week begins. Monday and Tuesday both find you filled with playful enthusiasm and an almost kid-like creativity, so put all that energy to good use. On Friday and all through the weekend, your mind is going into frenetic, intellectual overdrive. You’ll be inspired to philosophize and seek out appropriately heady conversation.

You may have to put things off as the week begins. On Monday and Tuesday, events are at odds with your desires and plans, but be patient — you just need to show some perseverance. On Friday and on into the weekend, you’ll get unwelcome attention from flittering, flighty people. Force them to cut with the gabbing and cut to the chase. On Sunday afternoon and evening, don’t take anything personally
