What your zodiac sign says about your career this week

Choosing a career is a daring step. Building it is even more tedious. Let  horoscope reading shed the light on your career path.

Here is what horoscope.com has to say about your career this week.

Aries: The energy supports slow growth and long-term plans. Get as much done as possible. After a while, the energy will be more unsettled, although you could enjoy helpful feedback from very original or creative types. Power struggles in the workplace can be distracting. Stay out of emotionally charged drama as much as possible, and avoid taking sides. You may be able to bridge a gap between groups representing different but possibly compatible interests.

Taurus: You will have a strong influence on other people's thinking now. It's especially important to be upbeat and supportive. Other people, in turn, can make dull or repetitive work more interesting. Business partnerships and social mixers to improve customer relations can be very satisfying. If you're on your feet a lot, consider getting better footwear. This is a positive time to sharpen your presentation in any area. This could mean reports or just looking your best.

Gemini: Don't feel sorry for yourself or others now. The energy is positive. If you believe it's possible, you can develop useful connections or ease any stress around the workplace. This is the best time to ask any questions you need answered by management. Extra effort will be satisfying and free up time to focus on other things later. This time begins a month of easier contact with others.

Cancer: This may be the best time for finding a new job or upgrading your current position. If you want to make a good impression, swallow any fears or concerns and be your most confident self. You can support anyone who is interested in doing a better job now. Helping co-workers can be particularly enjoyable. It will be very important to have clearly defined roles. Friendly competition can make you more effective.

Leo: If you're looking for a new or better job, this period can bring news that will steer you in the right direction. You or someone supervising you could become particularly bossy. Be patient with anyone around you who is in a bad mood. He or she may be having troubles you don't know about. Customer contacts should be pleasant and profitable. Don't procrastinate on something you know is important even if it isn't your favorite thing.

Virgo: This is the strongest time for any new start, including applying for a new or better job. Time should fly with pleasant and effective communication between co-workers and customers. A co-worker can lead you astray later now. Don't duck commitments. It could be easy to blow off work in place of something more interesting. This can be a pleasant time with work friends in a calm, cheerful, and supportive mood.

Libra: Some will still be coping with the stresses of changes you didn't start and may not welcome. This is a "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" scenario. The seeds of something better are actually all around you. The time is lucky for applying for a new job or improving your status in the eyes of your boss. You'll feel most settled when work friends and interesting people make the time pass quickly.

Scorpio: The energy now supports better communication to make you more effective with customers and co-workers. Be sure you don't dominate someone more reserved. He or she may have something to contribute, too. If you aren't feeling appreciated, this is the most positive time to network with others and even apply for a new or better job. Continue to be patient and focus on what is working rather than feel angry or upset about what is not.

Sagittarius: While you may not be the flashiest person, your perfectionist tendencies will help you be the best sort of team player. Stress is possible between forces that want to micromanage and forces that want to work independently. Mutual respect for the other's ability will be necessary in order to get along. An unexpected event can introduce innovative methods and technological advances. Take time to thoroughly learn any new machine or method. Sales and marketing efforts can be successful.

Capricorn: There could be some communication difficulties now. There could be problems with people who seem domineering and unwilling to find the middle ground. Certain ideas or approaches could seem unfair or threaten your pride. It's best to choose the people and situations that support your interests, and things will begin to improve. This is a good time to build positive customer relationships.

Aquarius: You may have to be especially careful not to fall into an unnecessary conflict now. If you try to be the boss in a situation where it isn't called for, you may run into enormous resistance. The energy supports careful and serious focus to meet long-term goals. A good friend at work can be especially helpful. Do your best to keep personal and professional issues separate.

Pisces: This continues to be a very positive time for improving your position or gaining additional training. Networking with people outside your workplace can be especially enjoyable. There is the possibility of finding a collaborative project that seems great at first until certain limitations or ego conflicts emerge. Working independently is your best choice now. It may be necessary to take extra time to do something you already know well. Do your best to keep critical opinions to yourself.
