CANCER (June 21-July 22): Stretch your imagination and see what you discover. Take advantage of your resources and call on those who never disappoint you. An offer that sounds too good to be true will have hidden costs that require your attention before you commit. 3 stars

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Review your response and stick to the facts.
