Taurus (April 20-May 20): Your philosophy of life gathers momentum now, asking you to pay more attention to what you believe. Some of what used to hold true has lost ground.

Gemini (May 21-June 20): A flow of mutual support emphasizes the bonds of community. At times, you need more than you have; at other times, you give more. Consider areas where you may be able to offer help or, alternatively, where you need to request assistance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You typically thrive on grappling with the unknown. Ironically, it is tough to develop awareness if you are not conscious that you are unaware.
