LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Because partnerships are favored, you could find yourself involved in several such arrangements for different purposes. Each one should work out fairly well.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Follow the sage advice: "A penny saved is a penny earned." Cut corners wherever you can, because small amounts can add up to a hefty sum.
