Your weekly work horoscope for the week of August 19, 2024. Discover your weekly work horoscope for each zodiac sign here.

Aries

If you’re not already in sales, you might want to think about doing that on Monday and Tuesday. Your natural charm is very energetic and you’ll find that people will drop everything at the slightest sign that you need them. Midweek, your energy might drop a little and you might want to slow down and explore alternative ideas that you can implement in the near future. On Friday, your energy levels will pick up again and you’ll find that you have a great time even at meetings or tasks that you normally dread.

The stars are signaling to you to reduce your workload and listen to your intuition this week. There’s nothing wrong with taking time to rest and process your emotions before going full steam ahead later. Holding back for a while can produce powerful results. You’ll see those results midweek. It’s time to shine in your field by showing how talented you really are, and remember to have fun while remaining productive. Remember what drew you to this field in the first place! By the end of the week, however, you might realize the seriousness of your work. You don’t always have to do things by the book. Try changing things up if you’re bored with the monotony.

Twins

Focus on the future early this week, as the present may be a little unsatisfying. Maybe nothing will go quite as planned, but ironically, plans you make now will work out well later. By midweek, you should be totally on the same page with your colleagues and clients, so make contact with them and cement those relationships. Friday is a good time to close old deals or end relationships that aren’t working for you. The weekend will only bring worries if you haven’t tied up all the loose ends.

Cancer

At the beginning of the week, you have a lot of energy, but you don’t seem to have an outlet for it. Nothing seems to capture your interest or attention. On Wednesday, however, you are hyper, very excited, and ready to throw yourself into anything and everything. In fact, there is a chance that you may be too pushy or say the wrong thing. Conversely, someone might say something that you take way too personally. The more balanced you can be, the better. On Friday, you have a breakthrough on a project that everyone is involved in. Consequently, the work week ends with everyone toasting your genius.

Lion

People will be impressed by what you say this week. Not only are your ideas bringing everyone together, but you’re also thinking about how your work can make people’s lives better. Include some charity in your planning. However, matters in your personal life may take up all your attention midweek, and you may be called in to save the day. Take advantage of your role as guardian, provider, and nurturer. Your family may be relying on you more than usual. Later in the week, you may not be able to ignore lingering problems at home, so take the time to deal with them. Fortunately, creative inspiration is just around the corner. By the end of the week, your talents will be shining.

Virgo

The first few days of the week will be full of good cheer. Your ideas will land at the top of the pile and you’ll find that people are paying more attention than usual. Try something new. However, hold back in the middle of the week. On Wednesday you might be seized by an extravagant impulse that you should suppress for now. Financial risks will not pay off now. Friday brings some new opportunities, possibly too many to take all at once. Choose carefully, but go into it wholeheartedly. You’ll feel like you want to get even more work done over the weekend.

Scale

You’ll exude professionalism this week. At the beginning, any extra upgrades to your wardrobe and style will go a long way. By midweek, your brilliant ideas and the way you present them might even make your boss wonder who’s really in charge around here. If you need to study or catch up on something, do it later in the week. The stars are boosting your brain’s intelligence and helping you memorize information like a champ. However, expect procrastination to slow you down by the end of the week. Try to finish your work ahead of schedule in case you end up having to ask for an extension.

Scorpio

Monday and Tuesday will likely be too busy for you to really pay attention. Pick a few key things and stick to them, but remain flexible in case something bigger comes up. Midweek brings a time of power when you may have unused resources at your disposal. It’s a great time to move in a new direction. Friday will be a time of confusion, and it will be difficult to get help from even your closest work colleagues, as everyone seems to be battling their own demons. If you take your time, you can figure it all out over the weekend.

Protect

Start work on Monday with a concrete agenda. You will be able to achieve all the goals you set for yourself as long as you stick to them strictly. Your ambition will be obvious, but don’t let that discourage you. Take it easy during the week and don’t try new things. Other people’s comments might confuse you, but there’s no point in trying to pin them down. Friday will give you a second wind and a shot of energy that will keep you working hard (or thinking about work) all weekend.

Capricorn

If you’ve been wondering what your true purpose is or what direction you should take, things should start to make sense this week. It’s time to ask yourself what you should be doing in your career and if you’re on the right track. Don’t waste time pursuing a path that doesn’t match your ambitions. But all careers have one thing in common: the need to get paid. By midweek, you’ll be motivated to think of clever ways to increase your income. You’ll better understand if you’re making enough money to live the lifestyle you want. If you’re not there yet, let that motivate you rather than discourage you. New information might shock you by the end of the week.

Aquarius

You have a keen eye this week and nothing escapes you. Read between the lines because your precise mind allows you to grasp deeper meanings. Your subordinates absorb your words, so this is also a good time to offer constructive criticism. If you have a lot to get done, save it for the middle of the week because that’s when you’ll get a big cosmic energy boost. Confidence will flow through you. This is a fantastic time to compete, prove yourself and put your passion into a project. However, you might run into obstacles again later on. Don’t let that discourage you.

Fish

Expect change early in the week. If you can initiate or at least lead the change, the chances of improving efficiency increase dramatically. It’s a good time to try bold, new initiatives and think strategically. Wednesday and Thursday will be a time of confusion, perhaps related to unintended consequences of the changes from earlier in the week, but it will pass and the group will feel empowered. Friday and the weekend are perfect for clear communication and strengthening working relationships. Take the lead by reaching out to those you haven’t heard from in a while.
