PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You are looking forward to a reunion that has you reliving a success from long ago. Why not plan a future collaboration inspired by the past?

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know what is expected of you, and perhaps that is what gives you pause. You are not in the mood to be limited in any way at this time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You should be able to get things done that were left undone yesterday or the day before. Do so, and you may be looking at some free time.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not be eligible for something that you thought would be a perfect match. You should be able to find something else that fits the bill.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- There's not much you can do to change the reality in which you find yourself -- but you can do a lot to reduce any negative impact it may have.
