Integrating a few of your colleagues into your crew will be seamless, since they already know each other from social events. The caveat is that they may become too close for comfort, which is why you should maintain strict boundaries with how much you invite them to hang out together.

A current career opportunity is proving to be more stressful than it is worth. It's not about the workload, but the project isn't allowing your creativity and artistry to flourish. If you're becoming uninterested in the venture, try to wrap it up before your energy and vigor for it fade.

Being a bill collector is not an easy job. You’re impatiently waiting on several paybacks from money you lent to others in the past two years. While it may be complex to obtain the full amounts owed, it'll be interesting and informative to see who respects your time and finances.

If the vibe feels off with your boo or friends, let them know gently and accordingly. There might be a few miscommunications that stand in the way of you connecting with them, so it's best to address the problem ASAP to have a great week without the ick and issues.

There comes a time when you have to assert ground rules in relationships. If others wish to oppose them, they can suffer the consequences. You’re just trying to protect your energy and heart from your crush/significant other who is acting out of the ordinary. You deserve better. Make it happen.

Compromise usually comes easily; however, it isn’t as simple this week. You’re seeing that you don't need to take ownership of matters that are outside your realm of responsibility. If others want to push you to take ownership and apologize, then they deserve a reality check. Stand your ground, Virgo.

It's been a long time since you've taken time to treat yourself to a spa day. Even if you're unable to schedule in the royal treatment and get the whole experience, a massage or manicure will suffice. The objection is to have a moment to relax and rejuvenate your aura.

Your squad might think you’re being secretive and shady, but the truth is that you are keeping to yourself and not sending meaningless texts. You also don’t want anyone in your business. Even though they may comment on your low-key demeanor, your response will set the tone for the situation.

It can be challenging to keep up with all the latest gossip, especially when you don't have the capacity to hear it since you’re handling other matters. Take the information that's coming your way with a grain of salt, and don't comment unless it has something to do with you.

If you've been feeling that people are not giving you enough attention, this week you're getting the TLC that you've been yearning for. Expect to be treated like the awesome sea goat that you are. You'll be wined and dined when you go out for a night on the town.

Your confidence is peaking, which means you are feeling yourself. Before you take it to extremes, tone down the way you talk about yourself to ensure you aren’t alienating others. You are fabulous and wonderful, but you shouldn’t brag about your accomplishments to those who are in a down cycle.

Expanding your social circle and network allows you to connect with individuals that you haven't seen for a while or that you've always wanted to spend time with. You'll find that it's nice to have many friends who can bring various forms of joy, entertainment, and pleasure to your life.
