Daily Horoscope: Leo

Heed your instincts rather than listening to what people say. Your gut feeling is a truer guide to escaping a tight corner.

You may not be in the mood to weigh options right now, but change your headspace because you're looking at three alternatives that could get you out of the pickle you're in.

You thought you could hold on to what you had and still move forward, but that won't happen. Don't worry. The future has more to offer.

It may feel like you're taking on an unnecessary burden, but the steeper the challenge, the more gratifying the reward.

The other party isn't eager for you to examine facts too closely. Pursue it anyway. You need to know what you're getting into.

Don't let rivals see that they're getting under your skin because they'll never leave you alone if they sense weakness. Project confidence and they'll keep a respectful distance.

Don't get bogged down in the whys and wherefores. Appeal to people's vision of what could be and they'll sign on.

Take stock before deep-sixing an affiliation. You could be overreacting to someone else's overreaction.

It's hard to know what's what when you keep waiting to hear what you want to hear. Put preconceived notions aside and listen to what's being said.

Predicting what makes people happy is an exercise in futility. Follow your heart and you know that one person in the room will be satisfied.
