LEO (July 23-Aug. 22):

Work with what’s available. Don’t vie for someone’s attention. Keep your wallet in your pocket. Trying to buy love or favors will lead to unwanted changes. Assess your emotional well-being and strive for peace of mind. ★★★

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

Problems with friends, relatives or peers will emerge. Keep your thoughts to yourself, and don’t believe everything you hear. Look inward and spend more time on self-improvement instead of trying to change others. An exciting opportunity will come with financial rewards. ★★

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Pace yourself to avoid fatigue. A change at home will be welcome but costly. Put your plans and budget in place before you begin. Call in favors if it will help you get what you want for a price you can afford. ★★★

Stick close to home and to people who bring out the best in you. Do what makes sense, and say no to anyone prompting you to make changes you don’t want to pursue. ★★★

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20):

A change in how you handle money and resources will be detrimental to what you are trying to achieve. Keep things moderate and straightforward, and your productivity will get you to the finish line. Stick to the truth and a budget. ★★★
