CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • Tap into your intuition, and realize that more answers are needed. Detach from a situation involving someone who knows how to trigger you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • Your spunky ways attract many people. The problem is that most of them want to be close to you, even just as friends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • You are full of excitement. Right now, you barely can discuss what’s on your mind, as others keep seeking you out to help them with their issues.
