CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★★ Your emotional well-being could be jarred by a friend or loved one who might hurt you with a comment he or she makes. Ignore what is going on, if you can. You also will need to let go of any criticism. Avoid anyone who is in a sour mood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
