CANCER (June 21-July 22)
Think twice before you agree to attend an event.

Wise decisions will transpire if you are thorough, fact-check, take notes and you do your due diligence every step of the way. 4 stars

Speak from the heart and resolve issues. A kind gesture will help restore a misunderstanding.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Get comfortable where you are. Home is where the heart is, and spending more time there will give you a sense of belonging.
