Midweek, the tension lightens, giving you the opportunity to enjoy family time or a social gathering. Relationships with neighbors and old friends improve, and small celebrations may bring joy. By the weekend, your environment is infused with harmony. Domestic matters settle, and financial worries begin to ease. You're likely to receive some good news—either from your children or through your own efforts—and your household atmosphere becomes notably more cheerful.
