TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You'll enjoy greater odds today if you simply stand your ground. No one is going to challenge you if you look like you know what you're doing!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You may require someone's expertise today in order to solve a problem that has been puzzling you for a while. It must be solved today!
