Daily Horoscope: Leo

Ironically the choice not to pursue what you've longed for proves to be the most fulfilling. Some ideals should stay on the shelf.

Don't get bent out of shape by an insulting remark. Yes, it's nasty but rest assured that it will circle round and bite this person in the derriere.

It's your job to be upbeat even if some people make fun of it. It's your can-do spirit that inspires; not critics' jeremiads.

You'll be on the defensive all day with the Moon in Cancer. Keep the snappiness to a minimum or risk putting everyone on edge.

Your fixation on not getting what you want is blinding you to a better choice should you decide to go for it. Now is not the time to be stubborn.

You may have taken on more than you can handle, but hang in there. Not only is this a growth opportunity, but it will be enriching as well.

People will do what you say as long as you aren't high-handed about it. Tone down the noblesse oblige airs and you win their enduring cooperation.

It's never easy acknowledging you're not as good as you once were, but Saturn in Aries promises a second act if you give it your best shot.

If a financial situation looks iffy then there's good reason for it. Back out before the other party does.

In the past you'd start with an idea and then try to make reality fit it. Now you're learning that reality, like the proverbial horse, comes before the cart.
