Your passion's awakened at the beginning of the week, whether by a chance encounter or just the cumulative bounty of experiences you're drinking in. Live intensely and enjoy every moment. On wednesday and thursday, balance your desire to splurge with your budgetary reality. Your plans really come together at the end of the week, with all the legwork and research you did paying off big time. The key to the weekend? Compromise instead of digging in your heels. Charm will get you a lot further than stubbornness.
