TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The more involved you are today in activities you enjoy, the better. Love is looking positive. Start something new, and it will open your eyes to a possibility for the future. Children may play a role in your life today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Do something to please yourself because you won’t be able to please anyone around you today. A massage, a hair appointment or a short trip to a mall will spark your imagination. Don’t let trivial matters get to you.
