Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Focus on your goals. Because of a meeting or a discussion with several friends, you could be tempted to head in a different direction. Your sense of limitation sometimes holds you back. Do not allow that to happen today. Join a friend on a fun adventure. Tonight: Get a good night’s sleep.
