Leo: Your cheerful and friendly attitude attracts the many and puts you in the spotlight. You accommodate and compromise. While you love the limelight, you are not about to become a doormat bowing to the wishes of others at every turn. An authority figure in your life may present you with some shocking news. 

Virgo: You retreat into seclusion in order to find out what is essential to you. You are also searching for your feelings as you may have lost the ability to sense your emotional state. All logic, you sometimes forget that there are other attributes to the human condition. At some point conversation and physical exercise will help you to clarify your inner workings.

The search never ends. Keep going. 

Capricorn: The secret, forbidden and taboo attracts you now. This takes you out of your usual realm of thinking and activity.

Go for it.

Aquarius: You experience a willingness to commit in a relationship but something holds you back. Give it some time to think about it.

You may not be ready for that.
