CANCER (June 22–July 22): Cancer, you often like to have all of your ducks in a row, but this week you may need to throw caution to the wind. People may be surprised at your spontaneity.

LEO (July 23–Aug. 23): Listen carefully to what others are saying, Leo. You have to find the meaning be-tween the words; otherwise, you can’t get the bigger picture others are seeing.

VIRGO (Aug. 24–Sept. 22): Let a few laughs out this week if the pressure builds, Virgo. You have been pushing yourself, and it’s easy for stress to build up. Laughter is the best medicine for this.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22–Jan. 20): You may choose to be understated in your approach to a relationship, Cap-ricorn. However, those closest to you understand that bigger emotions are brewing beneath the surface.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21–Feb. 18): A few deep breaths and a mantra that “everything will be okay” can help you sail through some pressures at work this week, Aquarius. The dust will soon settle.
