Daily Horoscope: Leo

It pays to be skeptical through the 16th. Either people are exaggerating for effect or making claims that they can't back up.

Did you skip some steps on your way to the top? A refresher course (or quick review) is all it takes to bring you up to speed.

You're more invested in a contentious matter than your colleagues are. Considering the lack of interest (and support) you might want to skip the fuss all together.

Don't talk yourself out of a new endeavor. What makes a creative challenge creative is the way it forces you to draw on untapped resources.

Quit while you're ahead. You're about to throw good money after bad. Cut your losses and get out while you can.

Accent the positive - even if you don't really believe it. It makes for a better selling point than airing grievances ever will.

You can say what you need to say without turning up the volume. Not only is it the respectable thing to do, but people will even listen.

You're working too hard at selling yourself. Relax. You don't have to worry about making the right impression if it comes from the heart.

Don't hatch your plan before it's been fully conceived. You may miss out on this particular opportunity, but it's a small price to pay for the success of a heartfelt endeavor.

You hate having to remind a friend to repay you but the sooner you ask the better. S/he has no idea why you're glowering at him.
