Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Setting your sites on a distant destination can be an act of faith for many people. But you are so determined to reach your goal now that you spend more time collecting information and creating a strategy than is necessary.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Although you are driven to honor a high ethical standard, your need for practicality might tempt you to soften your stance now.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): You can make extraordinary gains on a major project today, especially if you remain open to receiving assistance from your peers.
