SIGN: Taurus
BORN: May 14, 1969
WHERE: Melbourne, Australia
Taurus
April 21 - May 22
Clarify messages coming your way. People are overly tactful, and you’re never sure what they’re trying to tell you. You exude an air of authority through much of the month. You also have very broad shoulders and provide solace, even to people you barely know.
Gemini
May 23 - June 21
You observe a change — generally for the better — in a relative’s attitude, especially where money is involved. You also gain the edge in some kind of power play taking place at work.
Cancer
June 22 - July 22
Your unique talents are showcased. Long-awaited information arrives, but don’t act on it until you’re sure about the source. People are generally less touchy, so you can finally stop walking on eggshells.
Leo
July 23 - August 22
You receive the apology you thought you’d never get. You’re very good at picking up vibes, especially those involving romance, and particularly during the long weekend of the 16th. Finance is a different beast — rely more on experts and less on instinct.
Virgo
August 23 - September 22
Secrets are revealed this month — both in the office and during family get-togethers. Remember that lemon life recently handed you? Squeeze it now, and make a great batch of lemonade.
Libra
September 23 - October 22
You know a meddler has crossed the line when even peace-loving Libra tosses diplomacy out the window, which happens right after the middle of the month.
Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Someone is completing your sentences and trying to make your decisions. It’s an awkward situation, but fix it sooner rather than later. The full moon of the 9th starts a period of education.
Sagittarius
November 22 - December 22
It’s a month of achievement. There’s someone who’s so supportive that you’re convinced you have a personal good-luck charm. It doesn’t hurt, either, that you’re highly disciplined. One caution: stop procrastinating.
Capricorn
December 23 - January 20
Your recent willingness to open up shows results. You learn from a recent mistake, and someone is seeing — and appreciating — your human side for the very first time. Creative collaborations prove highly rewarding.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 19
When you take the job nobody wants, it’s not because you’re a martyr. The rewards are hidden, but you know they’re there. You hear about an ex-friend’s difficulties and wonder whether to reach out. You’ll have your answer by the end of the month.
Pisces
February 20 - March 20
You project an aura of confidence, shaking off doubts that others may have about your qualifications. Keep focusing on health, getting into shape for what’s sure to be an athletic summer. You discover that a crusty relative is quite tender under the surface.
Aries
March 21 - April 20
Your X-ray vision allows you to see through pretense, and you know at a glance who’s phony and who’s sincere. Someone important is seeing how you handle challenges and stress. Start a summer fitness program.
