SUPER CROSSWORD: KP DUTY LEO (July 23 to August 22) You now have information that can infl uence that decision you planned to make. But the clever Cat will consult a trusted friend or family member before making a major move. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Good news: You’re fi nding that more doors are opening for you to show what you can do, and you don’t even have to knock very hard to get the attention you’re seeking. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your gift for creating order out of chaos will help you deal with a sudden rush of responsibilities that would threaten someone less able to balance his or her priorities.

Your ener- gy levels are coming right back up to normal -- just in time to help you tackle some worthwhile challenges and make some important choices.
