Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Discussions about inheritances and shared property will go well today. Nevertheless, it’s easy to overlook details when you are enthusiastic and confident. Therefore, to be safe, double check everything when it comes to cash, finances and contracts.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Work-related travel is likely today. Discussions with co-workers and clients will be optimistic and ambitious. Your enthusiasm will convince others to agree with you; however, do not overlook details. When you’re excited about the broad strokes, little things can get lost.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a great day to schmooze and attend parties and social events. Sports and playful times with children will be appealing. Romantic flirtations abound! Trust your creative impulses because they will show you the right direction even if they are larger-than-life.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Family discussions will go well today because everyone is friendly. But guard against being excessive. Your plans might not be realistic.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

“There’s money in them thar hills!” This is a strong money day, good for business. Nevertheless, a tiny warning: You might go overboard, and things might look better than they are. But for the most part, the money is flowing and you are on top of things!
