LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

If you’re feeling lazy, embrace it. Stay close to home, curl up with a good book, and do not allow anyone to push or talk you into doing something. You likely will feel energized by late in the afternoon. Make plans if you want, or invite a friend over. Tonight: Be in the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your imagination is a tremendous resource; use it to jazz up your plans. Invite a friend to take off with you and visit a favorite countryside spot. Others might opt to go to the movies or an art show. By escaping the here and now, you’ll refresh your outlook. Tonight: Be noticed.
