Witty Riddles!
What kind of coat can you only put on when it is wet? A coat of paint.
What flies without wings and cries without eyes? A cloud
I have a face that cannot see and hands that cannot clap. What am I? A clock

Princess Predictions
Leo (July 23-Aug 22): Loose lips sink ships, so watch whom you confide in. If your hush-hush information is too hot for public disclosure, keep it to yourself. Sometimes friends can't help but spill a secret when it's too juicy ... so are you sure you want to put them in that position?
Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22): Do more. This is a very simple call to action that might make you feel a little defensive, but you should pay attention to it. It's not that you're lazy ... it's that you aren't fully aware of your capabilities right now. And the only sure-fire way to comprehend the limit to your abilities is to run head first into it.
Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22): Slow, subtle progress can be the best kind. Be patient. Just because you don’t see the progress you are making, your friends and family are noticing you trying to better yourself. Keep going!
Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21): Communication is all around you this month: emails, voicemails, text messaging and even good, old-fashioned face-to-face conversations. Enjoy these times to really connect with your friends and try not to be overwhelmed.
Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21): All of your efforts are starting to pay off -- and the lesson you should be learning is that the more you put into something, the more you'll get out of it.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19): No matter what negatives you're feeling now, you need to remember that there are many new opportunities and ideas that have achieved a solid foothold in your life. Good things are about to happen!
Aquarius (Jan 20– Feb 17): The hunger, impatience and irritation you've been feeling lately is about to come to an end. You're entering a new phase of reward and contentedness. It's very important for you to keep your eyes open and look for opportunities.
Pisces (Feb 18-Mar 19): There's a strong energy of appreciation around you right now, so expect a surge in your popularity -- so much of a surge that you might be a little embarrassed about it!
Aries (Mar 20-Apr 19): An array of surprises is coming your way soon, so it would be very wise for you to remember how flexibility can save your sanity when nothing feels predictable. Deal with things as they come.
Taurus (Apr 20-May 20): Tired of the same old routine? You'll find a nice surprise as this month continues in the form of a schedule shake-up or some other small opportunity for self-indulgence. Take a chance and enjoy yourself!
Gemini (May 21-Jun 20): you're the only one who is keeping you from doing what you'd like to. To get a motivating burst of self-esteem, call a friend for a fun night out or challenge them to a board game -- just to give yourself that winning feeling again.
Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22): If you're looking for some good luck right now (and who isn't?), you can simply create it -- all you have to do is focus on beefing up your karmic bank account. Be big-hearted and generous to a fault. Take the high road at every opportunity.
