Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7 — An insider tip leads to a great bargain. It’s not a good time to gamble or travel. Something unusual is going on behind the scenes. Review your plans one more time, and then soar.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6 — Work challenges abound, and overcoming them leads to advancement and extra income. Consult experts. Take care of your health, too. Eat nutritional foods, take a walk and rest.
