GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Your awareness of others may be heightened today and you will be keen to offer advice when problems arise. Just be careful that you do not cross the line between being helpful and intruding in someone's life.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Several different things may need to be taken into account when making a major decision. First and foremost consider the ethical implications, following that you must ponder long-term implications and the ongoing financial cost.

YOUR DAY
Authority, ambition and generosity of spirit are all hallmarks of Moon in Leo. There could be a tendency for the strong to overshadow the weak, but the overall intention will be to help those in need. Be charitable in your praise of others, even those who appear to be confident, calm and in control. Behind the poised facades lie hidden insecurities.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
