Aquarius Weekly Horoscope

You’re, like, um, popular this week, Aquarius. With everyone wanting a piece of your time, you’re going to have to consolidate, turning one-on-one hangouts into group gatherings (grumbles from your sweetie or BFF notwithstanding). This spike in your eminence comes courtesy of the Sun, which moves into Sagittarius and your eleventh house of social networking for a month beginning on Wednesday. If you haven’t already passed Facebook’s 5,000-friend limit, you might just achieve that milestone in time for Christmas.

But is it really a numbers game, Aquarius? Not for you. With your affable nature, you make fast friends with folks, weaving your way in and out of cliques with the ease of a white-tailed spider. You can’t help it! You genuinely click with a lot of people. Alas, seeing you for a second time may be as likely as spotting a unicorn, but you can always stay in touch by liking each other’s status updates. Keep collecting those names: you never know when they’ll come in handy. You’ll have time for more focused intimacy a month from now when the Sun moves into Capricorn. Until then, blow with the wind, your bohemian spirit flying free.

Geek is chic while the sun is in Sagittarius, so let your techie side out to play. Train yourself on the finer points of WordPress or Adobe’s digital suite so you can get your piece of the Internet fortune. The call of the blogosphere may be luring you with its sweet siren song. Those 1,000-word discourses you wrote on modern politics or the collection of family recipes you lovingly gathered on your regional tour through the French countryside could soon become a self-published oeuvre. Thank goodness you incarnated during the Information Age with the freedom to post your uncensored ideas at will!

Midweek, charming Venus settles into Scorpio, blessing you with three weeks of bonus career mojo. ’Tis the season for networking and doing your best to impress those key decision makers, the ones who cut your paychecks or fall into the “Dream Client” category. You’re the ultimate jeans-and-a-ponytail sign, but your professional presentation might need a sharper edge. Hit the Black Friday sales for a sophisticated wardrobe upgrade. That 15-percent-discounted Alice + Olivia blazer will be worth fighting the throngs of bargain-crazed shoppers. Let the lines between business and pleasure blur a bit, too (as in rallying coworkers for Happy Hour, not sleeping with the married head of marketing, Aquarius!). This is a prime phase for strengthening relationships with the people you do business with.

In some rare exceptions, a coworker crush may lead to a love that’s true. Don’t dip your pen in the proverbial company inkwell unless you’re looking to write a happily-ever-after story. Coupled Aquarians, you might team up on a venture with your partners. This can be a tricky tightrope act if you don’t clearly delineate duties. But if you come to a smart agreement on the front end, there’s strong potential to profit as a dynamic duo over the next few weeks.

The Pisces moon makes for a lazy Thanksgiving Day. Nix plans to play “Iron Chef” and opt for pared-down versions of the dishes you planned to wow with. Simple recipes can be every bit as delicious as the decadent ones, especially when they are served by a smiling, not-so-frazzled you. Watch the Macy’s parade in your bunny slippers, poke around Pandora for the perfect dinnertime station to set, bike to see a friend for an hour and catch up over gingerbread lattes. Yes, you might have to delegate some duties to the other hands in the house, but they might actually enjoy being included in the prep.

By Thursday evening, you’re a regular Chris Rock (an Aquarius), when the moon shifting into Aries wakes up your wit and makes you the life of the party until Saturday night. Chin-chin!
