CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can fulfill almost all your responsibilities on time today -- if not earlier than required. One, however, proves a tough nut to crack.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You've been running around trying to determine the reason for things, but to no avail. Try standing still today; the answers should come to you.
