LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
Take in as much as you can and use the information and experience to help you gain momentum. Don't let trivial matters stand between you and your goal. Give others the right and freedom to do as they please, and your actions will encourage them to offer you the same in return. Set your sights on self-improvement instead of trying to change others. Don't let someone tempt you with grand ideas and fairy-tale endings. Be sensible, and you'll recognize what's possible. Listen to your inner voice and take care of responsibilities quickly.
