CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- A family member looks to you for the kind of encouragement that only you can give. Make yourself available -- but don't make any sacrifices.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A conflict may arise today when you reveal the truth about a situation that has been widely misunderstood. You needn't regret what's necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You want to win more control over your own affairs, but you may not be going about it in the right ways. Let a friend give you advice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've had a tendency lately to take things far too personally, but today you must be objective if you're going to remain competitive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to receive a "hint" of sorts at just the right time. What happens after that takes you and your allies very much by surprise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You're struggling to find the "right" thing to do in your situation. Let go of preconceptions and the answer will come before you know it.
