possessions and money, however. LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) You feel adventurous and spontaneous today. (It’s almost as if there’s more electricity in the air.)

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) Don’t promise more than you can deliver when talking to bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs today. After all, you don’t want to end up with egg on your face, do you? (Ketchup helps.) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Be reasonable in your travel plans today. You might be tempted to go overboard in some way. Make sure you don’t regret your decisions later.
