Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Your efforts make a difference, especially during meetings. Though you might have work as a priority, your mind drifts to the weekend. Know what you want here. Tonight: Romp the weekend!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Take charge at work, if you have any thought of clearing out the day. Your sense of humor marks your interactions. If you can, delegate as much as possible or bring work home. Tonight: A must show.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
