CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may be encountering two obstacles that seem to cancel out each other in some odd way. This makes things much easier for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Travel may be in the picture today, but you must be sure that you have left no stone unturned before starting out toward your destination.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are likely to find something of great importance hovering about you, ready for you to use it to your advantage. It's been there a while!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You're far too concerned with words like "should" and "shouldn't" to make a real impact. Free yourself up and opportunities beckon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You know how to wake someone up and focus his or her attention on the issues at hand, so why not do so right away? Both will benefit.
