HOROSCOPE

ARIES
(March 20-April 19)

When Mercury and Venus waltz into Leo on Friday and Saturday, the doors to the playground swing open, dear little ram. Yes indeed, Leo is the host to fun, gambling and luck. Enjoy the weekend. On Monday the moon moves into Taurus, and people may not share what you value. In fact, they may appear a little bullheaded. No need to butt heads. Okay. The moon goes into its fourth quarter Tuesday evening, and Wednesday is time for chatter while the moon is in Gemini, the yakker of the zodiac. The moon sends a wink to Venus on Tuesday evening and love is in the air. At the start of the week, Jupiter and Mars send a sweet message from your house of daily chores. Yes indeed, someone wants to assist you.

Keep a few of your ideas to yourself, because other people may not agree with you. The moon moves into your sign, Taurus, on Monday morning.

CANCER
(June 21-July 22)

Crawl out of the sandbox and look at this, little crab. Venus and Mercury join Saturn and the sun in your second house of values and money. Lady Luck could land here.
