Leo (July 23 - August 22) Your ego and vanity were too closely tied to your financial status. Now that you've learned a pricey lesson, what can you do with it? Taking it to heart squeezes the most value out of your experience.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Desperate times require -- soul searching? You should start shining a flashlight in your darkest corners. Not only will you learn a lot about yourself, but you may stumble across long forgotten reserves.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Creativity takes a bit of romance, a bit of fun and a bit of indulgence to grease the gears. Finance takes no less. Stop looking at just the dry numbers.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Changes in your financial status could make you eccentric and peculiar or wiser, depending on how resilient you are. Start practicing your stretches now.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) You've made it through worse things and you'll make it through this, too. Make yourself a good dinner and go over old love letters if you want a reminder of your true grit.
