TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- For one who usually approaches things in a rational, albeit sometimes heated fashion, you may prove surprisingly erratic today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You will be able, confident and self-sufficient today. What you do as a result, however, may hinge upon some random circumstances.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You'll want things to feel comfortable and "homey" today, especially if you find yourself far from home. It's the little things that count.
