Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your expenses might be weighing on you. You might feel as if you never have enough money, which could be an issue rather than a reality. Take action to strengthen your financial position. Tonight: Spontaneity works.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Moon in your sign should push you over the line, but lately you have been a touch conservative or feeling restricted. Try to clear out a minor hassle before it becomes a big issue. Tonight: Be that big, springy Lion we love.
