GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A difficult decision waits to be made, and you must be prepared to make it without all pertinent information. Trust your instincts.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Communication with family members may not be as easy today as you had hoped. Someone in particular is not all that willing to listen to reason.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You're fretting over something you cannot control, and that is causing you problems in other areas of your life. Focus on manageable issues.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You're likely to receive news regarding health or finances that reduces your stress level considerably. It's onward and upward now.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may be able to control the actions of those within your inner circle, but what happens outside of it may be anyone's guess at this time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You are more emotional today than usual, but does it have to do with a recent loss -- or a coming opportunity? It should be quite apparent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- A surprise may have you jumping the gun in some way today. You'll have the chance to reset, fortunately, and do things at the right times.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- You may have to get the consent of another before moving in a certain direction. Is this because danger is involved? Get the whole story.
