Monthly Career: August

CANCER

June 22-July 22

This month, you may be feeling quite tempted to redecorate the entire office. Then you may want to overhaul your entire work wardrobe. Next you'll probably want to get a new haircut at the most expensive salon in town, and after that you might just feel the need to do some online shopping for a new laptop (with leather bag!). As the month gets started, call on your clearheaded, down-to-earth side to do an immediate reality check on these impulses. If you can really afford this dramatic overhaul, and such an overhaul is needed in order to improve business, then your clearheaded, down-to-earth side will surely give your plans the go-ahead. But if puts the kibosh on your spending spree, you'd do well to listen. Rearrange the office furniture, pull out an outfit you haven't worn in a while and style your hair differently. Wait until you're in a better financial space to make bigger changes. Around the 5th, you're going to have to be a little more sensitive to your friends and family if you want them to stay friendly and familiar. The 10th, do something nice for yourself to prepare you for the working week. It doesn't have to be expensive -- an invigorating swim in the ocean counts! On the 15th, flexibility will help your career plans, but on the 20th, take your time and examine every angle. By the 25th, you'll be feeling fantastic, and your work will show it. The 29th, communicate clearly with the people who count. Send this page to a friend.
