change or choice. Start afresh in situations that have grown stale.

foot forward by paying attention to appearance and personal image.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Anything can happen if you allow events to unfold naturally. Light-hearted lunar energy encourages a blithe approach and influences you to think outside the square. Life is one big surprise package for Leo.
