Work is rewarding right now. Your diligence on the job has been noticed. A reward, perhaps a change in status or wages, is on its way. Your leadership qualities are noticed and admired by coworkers and superiors alike. Enjoy the success. You've earned it. Cheerful mood, good health and a youthful rested spirit will help you putting your best foot out at work. Your diligence yields recognition and your example inspires others. Don't get embroiled in minor issues; save your energy for real challenges. You may feel an urge to clean-up and reorganize. This is a fine time to focus on work, well-being and personal habits.

Fostering connections only requires one thing this Saturday: a dose of that Cancer wit. And with adventurous Jupiter in your sign getting friendly with daredevil Mars, it’s the perfect day to reconnect with people who you haven’t seen for a while. Instead of making excuses for being out of touch, own that you’ve been AWOL and lead with humor. People will find it hard to stay mad at you—especially when you turn the lens on them and start asking about their lives. Sunday’s advice? Slow down before you flame out, Cancer. For the first time in two years, energizer Mars downshifts into Gemini and your twelfth house of healing and rest. Between now and August 11, your subconscious is especially activated. You may have trouble sleeping, which is all the more reason to power down early. Instead of catching up on work (or those favorite TV series) before bed, try to meditate, listen to music, journal or read fiction (in book, not electronic, form). Say no to the energy vampires making bids for your time—and be direct, so they get the message loud and clear.
