CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You're trying too hard to control the things that simply cannot be controlled. Instead, try to navigate the day more freely and nimbly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your senses may be steering you in the right direction while your mind is pushing you toward certain dangers. Trust that which cannot be said!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You must guard against any kind of emotional upset today, as even a modest one is likely to drive you away from where you really belong.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Changes can be avoided today, but only if you are willing to keep the bad things as well as the good. You can't pick and choose!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You can certainly have stability in your life right now, but a sacrifice will have to be made. Family members know you'll do what's right.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know how to do something in the simplest possible way, yet get the same results that usually come to those who do it the hard way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A creative endeavor offers you personal contentment and a chance of considerable financial reward -- but you must be willing to ask for expert advice.
