Capricorn

You are in plain view, and this week only sharpens that: your words and decisions are remembered. Your responsibility has grown larger than your authority, and that is exactly what you will have to even out in the coming days. Thursday, the first of October, is a good day for a conversation about terms and the distribution of workload. By Sunday you will see that you need to build a system rather than carry everything yourself.

At home you are valued for something other than your achievements, and this week is worth feeling that. Your partner is missing your presence, so give one evening over completely, without the phone and work chats. Around the middle of the week a conversation about the future is possible, the one you have been postponing since summer. Single Capricorns may find themselves drawn to someone from their professional circle.

The conversation about your pay finally becomes concrete: you have both the arguments and the right moment. Name a specific figure and a specific date from which the new terms take effect. Put the agreement in writing straight away, because in a month that will spare you an argument. Larger personal purchases are better postponed until the middle of October.

A career week: more responsibility, a new project or an offer to head up a department are all possible. Before you agree, write down what you will hand over to others, otherwise it simply turns into overload. Tuesday and Thursday are the best days for conversations with management. Friday suits closing off September and preparing your plan for October.

Your shoulders, neck and jaw are holding tension you do not even notice. Several short breaks spread over the day work better than one long one in the evening. Do not replace rest with coffee, because by Thursday it will show in your sleep. Make the weekend deliberately unhurried, without feeling guilty about being unproductive.
