Rise and Shine on July 17 (the only person’s approval you need is your own. No one can undermine your self-esteem once that’s in place), July 18 (they say it’s good to have friends in high places but you learned a long time ago it’s best to have friends in every place), July 19 (you may not win the argument, but you’ll get an agreement you can live with), July 20 (Mars enters Leo today. The power planet will push you to push yourself. Lasts 7 weeks), and July 22 (yours is the only zodiac sign whose ruling planet is a star.  This will become perfectly obvious to everyone when the Sun enters Leo today)

Duck and Cover on July 21 (understanding others’ insecurities gets you to lighten up on your own. Realizing they want approval too makes everyone seem more human), July 23 (today looks like an emotional rollercoaster. Either grip the safety bar or throw your hands in the air and enjoy the ride), and July 24 (it takes a special kind of courage to get off the bus you know is heading in the wrong life direction and to look for one that is)
