This year, you have an opportunity to make choices that reflect more of your essence. In the process, you could lose your sense of how much to spend and what is too much. If you are single, you could meet someone who might not be the person he or she says he or she is. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from weekends away together. Also share at least one common goal. Leo helps you spend your money.
