Yes, I figured since LEO is so easy, I'd jump in for seconds and see how far I could get - come on and join me!

I failed a challenge a few months back so I have to start over.

CaroB- I would say yes. There is not a specific time frame specified except for the actual astrological signs. So, therefore if you wanted to start right now you would spell out LEO. Then starting on August 23 you would begin to spell out VIRGO and finish that one on September 22 and so on.

Hope that answers your question.

Thanks Rachel! I'm going to start now and backtrack to include the books I've read so far this month :-)
