Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a productive day at work for you, in part because co-workers are supportive. You might do something to earn extra praise, and a few of you will even get a raise. Do what you can to improve the appearance of your workstation. Make things nice for yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
