LEO (FIRE)
JULY 23-AUGUST 22
No matter how much you try to cut back on your spending, something always pops up which can’t be postponed or avoided. So, for the time being you will have to cut corners elsewhere and pay very close attention to your financial situation.
Within a number of weeks all will fall back into place, but for now leave your credit cards at home. You derive a great deal of pleasure from little things and time spent with a few close family members or dear friends will make this week speed by.
HINT: The middle of this week is perfect for clearing off your desk at home.
VIRGO (EARTH)
AUGUST 23-SEPTEMBER 22
You are almost ready to put your own needs at the top of your list, and it is about time too! Denying yourself sets a certain example, but definitely isn’t fun. Relax. You have the time and the money, so enjoy yourself for a change. Speaking of money, your financial situation is moving exactly as you had planned and within a month or so you will be free from a major debt you have been dealing with.
HINT
: A conversation with your partner or mate will help you to tap in to your emotional side as you begin to understand that logic is simply not enough.
LIBRA (AIR)
SEPTEMBER 23-OCTOBER 23
Your thoughts return to the past and are bitter/sweet as you remember people who are no longer with you or a part of your life.

Financially you are always thinking of new and better ways to improve your situation and soon you will find the help you have been looking for.

DECEMBER 22-JANUARY 19
You have been working so hard at achieving a certain goal and everyone close to you is definitely on your side.
Things will work out, so don’t mistrust yourself or give up hope. It is simply that sometimes you don’t have control over a situation. Trust and faith will prove worthy partners.
