TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Whatever was off-limits to you last year is now worth giving another shot. Maybe it's a job at work that someone else always gets to do. Or maybe it's a love interest who was off the market. Well, things have changed. Go for it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You're probably trying to infl uence a loved one, or get a customer to buy.Your pitch is important. Review a million times until it's totally memorized. Then forget everything and talk conversationally.

You'll make your sale.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Your superpower is magnifying small events. Be judicious in the application of this power.

By focusing in small you could learn the secrets of the universe, or you could make yourself nuts by reading too much into things.
