Consistency matters. Formulate a plan and stick to it. How you structure your life and strive for equality will determine how others perceive and support your efforts. Think big, but take on only what’s possible. Delegate your time and energy to overall success instead of falling short. Spread your wealth of knowledge around, and conquer your dreams.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Rely on your instincts to lead you. Apply yourself, and don’t be afraid to be unique. Aim to stabilize meaningful relationships using kindness and consideration.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Simplify your life, ease stress and don’t let anyone talk you into something. Pay attention to your health and emotional well-being, and spend time with people you find uplifting and motivating. Pay attention to detail.
