Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — You should be able to see clearly what needs to be done … no need to be overwhelmed. Now is a good time for making money, so brainstorm ideas. Maintain objectivity, if possible.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) — Today is a 6 — Gather up the harvest as quickly as possible, with some help. It’ll be easier to make money for the next few weeks, but don’t buy toys yet. It’s not a good time to travel.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Romance awaits, and you’re especially good-looking during this period. Answer the call of the wild. You have willing helpers nearby; rely on them. Listen for feedback.
