GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The end of one thing dovetails very nicely with the beginning of another. Someone critical of you acknowledges your accomplishment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The usual and the unusual combine in a most surreal way today -- and yet you are able to make sense of much that others find utterly mysterious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You're going to have to make a decision today that affects all those working under you, so be sure you are both thorough and timely.
