TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Relationships get tricky. There's a miscommunication to clear up or move past. Knowing that others might be touchy helps you listen more intently and speak with sensitivity.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21):Your feelings for someone are more intense than you let on.You're wise to hold back, for a number of reasons. For instance, you may feel differently tomorrow. And if not, going slow adds excitement to this drama.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): You'll be around the noncompetitive, nonjudgmental people who accept you "as is." However, don't get too comfortable. You may not have to prove anything to them, but you should still prove it to yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): "Live and let live" is an adage that doesn't apply to minors. Young people need someone to barge into their business. You might be so bold as to structure their days with a written schedule.They will thrive under your order.
