Taurus
Horoscope (by Astrocenter.com)
Group activities or social events taking place today, dear Taurus,
which you may have already committed to, might not seem as appealing
as they once did. You could be tired, feeling very lazy, and not
likely to want to move a muscle. Whether you attend or not is up to
you, but don't feel guilty if you decide to stay home. We're all
entitled to take time out occasionally, and to crash in front of the
TV. Relax!
Gemini
Horoscope (by Astrocenter.com)
You've probably had a busy and stressful few days, dear Gemini, and
may be a bit drained. However, chores and other responsibilities
might be facing you, and you probably just don't want to do anything.
Consider: are these tasks really all that pressing? It's all right to
let them go; the world won't come to an end, and you're entitled to
some relaxation. Read a good book, or crash in front of the TV.
There's always tomorrow!

personalized:
Today
The mutual exploration of spiritual and intellectual ideas could
bring you closer to friends and lovers alike. Fascinating discussions
might take place - opening up new horizons to all who participate.
You may even be overcome by a strong feeling of group unity, Erika.
At day's end, you could experience a strong spiritual longing to
plunge into a deep study of whatever the topics of conversation have
been. Don't hesitate to do this. It can only help you grow.
Your Rising Sign
Shared resources are of special concern today as you find yourself
feeling greater sensitivity in this area of your life. It could be
that you need to do a bit of renegotiating with a business partner or
spouse in regard to how certain resources are used. The Moon's
transit is making emotions run at a much more intense level than
usual. Also, attend carefully to details regarding taxes, politics,
and real estate.

If there has been anything on the home front that has been troubling
you, Erika, the essence of this 1-Day may well bring solutions you
have not thought of before. Perhaps a better system is needed, or
maybe a different form of communication can help. Whatever the case
is for you, do some investigating into the solution. No doubt,
someone, somewhere has encountered the same situation, and may have
the answers in the form of a book or website. Check it out.
