Sunday: You’re excited about something unusual that you’re working on, probably behind the scenes. Your mind is working overtime to make this happen.

This week: There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is you’re going to meet obstacles dealing with authority figures to whom you make a request. “Talk to the hand!” Bummer.
