Gemini (May 21-June 20)

— Today is a 7 — You’re looking good, but watch out for self-centered pitfalls that could create more than one communication breakdown. Don’t even try to buy love. Actions speak louder than words.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

 — Today is a 6 — Cool does not have to mean expensive. It’s okay to have too much of a good thing; so be grateful. Don’t throw a party yet. Save the celebration for later, once the eggs have hatched.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

 — Today is a 7 — Carefully look at a procedure that goes against your training before moving on. Don’t be worried; delegate the details. You could get lucky. Postpone an outing.
