Daily Horoscope: Leo

You say you listen to friends' advice, but do you heed it? Do yourself a favor and practice what they preach.

Are you being playful or did you mean to be provocative? Make up your mind before a loved one makes it up for you. Things could get dicey.

Don't get stumped by the whys and wherefores of a project before you do your research. Many of your questions will answer themselves.

It's natural to push when you meet resistance, but try pulling back instead. This uncharacteristic about-face takes people by surprise.

Get ready for a personal renaissance. Forgotten aspirations and talents spring to life between now and Nov 2018.

Sit down with a troubled loved one or friend and ask what's going on. You don't need to have the solution or a game plan. Just a shoulder to lean on.

Stop trying to please someone who delights in holding back love or approval. There's no there there.

Don't let someone's foul temper throw you off. Moods are passing whereas the benefits you stand to gain from this association are not.

If you've learned anything over the past year it's that you can't expect to do things your way without roping in support first. You also benefit from people's insight.

Harping on the negatives won't help your loved one or you. It's better to radiate warm rays of encouragement than to glower behind overcast skies.
