This Leo moon gets notice as it passes through the zodiac with claws out, stinging Mercury, Uranus and the sun with its swipe. As it goes with playful kittens and big lions alike, it's hard to judge the intention. What goes as play can hurt a lot, and if there's something actually intended to wound, it rarely lands wrong with cats.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When we believe a thing, it seems like a fact, and when we disbelieve, we assume it's a theory or an opinion. Your golden move today will be in being slow to decide what you believe. Let all the ideas entertain you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Real-life situations can echo digital ones in that a login is often required to get to the good offerings. In today's case, setting up an account is more a matter of checking all the boxes that tend to the other person's needs.

Your lucky numbers are: 1, 47, 9, 13 and 22.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: Here is more on yesterday's question from a Capricorn reader concerned with how and what to reveal in early dates. "I haven't settled on a good pattern for letting people get to know me," the reader said. "I don't know which version of my story to tell."
In the very early stages of getting to know a person, the vibes matter more than the actual facts. Since you're looking for a confluence of interests, it's more important to talk about where you are in life and what you're interested in than where you've been. One easy story to master about yourself is simply the one about what you like.
For instance: "The first time I heard an electric guitar, it was in the garage of my sister's boyfriend. The sound blew my mind. From then on, mastering different sounds on the guitar has been one of my favorite things to do. Also, I go to a lot of concerts."
"My dad worked in a bakery when I was kid, and I loved when he'd bring the fresh bread home. It's just something that brings me comfort now, and I love to try new recipes. Do you cook?"
These breezy stories tell a lot without saying much. But the most important part is how the other person reacts and whether you feel acknowledged and engaged by the reaction. More on Saturday!
