LEO (July 23-August 22): Cleaning up and sorting out the financial end of things is an assignment unlikely to get resolved in only a day or two. Nor is it something most of us anticipate with eagerness, since any messes we might find ourselves in are usually a result of not having wanted to fully deal with the problem-at-hand when it first presented itself. Furthermore, we may not even possess the expertise needed to straighten our situation all the way out—if we did, it might already be done, but maybe we’ve been too ashamed to solicit the handy advice a close friend or colleague likely holds. Admitting where you may need help, Leo, is a good first step for ironing out lingering questions about your self-sufficiency, which are probably subtly detracting from your overall confidence levels (especially if you’re looking at your money situation as a ‘dirty little secret’). Even if you’re just talking it out with pals who aren’t necessarily the ones who will have workable suggestions to try, the very act of unburdening yourself of the unspoken fear attached to handling this task ought to feel empowering. The truth is, many people now find themselves in similar circumstances. No need to shoulder this familiar experience alone.
