TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Speak your mind. Your words will help clear up a problem. Your ruling planet, Mercury, goes retrograde today. Expect some misunderstandings. A blast from the past easily could appear. You might meet someone with whom you have a karmic tie. Tonight: All smiles.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might feel tense with all the activity around you. Be more direct in how you discuss a problem, but don’t hit anyone below the belt. A change within your community or at work could cause some stress. Try not to internalize any tension. Tonight: Make sure you go to the gym.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You are in the limelight, and others appreciate your efforts. However, finding a point of agreement could be challenging. You might find the process long and tedious. Push this matter aside for a while, as your ruling planet, Mercury, goes backward. Tonight: Let go of problems.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
