LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) -- You may have no other chance to come clean than right now. Once this week has passed, another's needs will likely take precedence. Speak up! (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) -- You may find yourself waiting for someone to reach out to you, but he or she is doing the same. Someone has got to break the stalemate!

(Sept. 8-Sept. 22) -- You may be in a position of some authority before the day is out, but will that give you enough time to make a plan for the days to come?
