Taurus (April 20-May 20) ““ Taking some downtime might be the best choice. You have put in more effort than many. In the process, you might have seen a different character of those in your immediate circle. A misunderstanding is just that.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) “““““ Inclination meets thought. You can hit a home run if you simply follow your sixth sense. Handle money with care, as you could do some damage to yourself. Do think about tomorrow. Do think about the long term.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ““““ Be willing to walk your talk. Understand others’ expectations, but follow your chosen path. Live life for yourself rather than other people. Check in on an older friend who often might be touchy.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) “““““ Your mind has the ability to understand and wrap itself around many different concepts. You will be open and ready to discuss issues. The problem might be someone’s defensiveness. Walk through that and don’t take comments or actions personally.
