TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★★
Today the Moon is still in your sign at odds with Neptune and dancing nicely with the Sun. Basically, this makes everything fine and secure.

Focus on family.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★★★
You might spend time today daydreaming or being lost in flights of fantasy, which is quite all right. We all need to do this from time to time.

This Week: A busy pace with short trips and errands.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
