Daily Horoscope: Taurus

You need to turn a no into a yes. Tickle a naysayer's fancy by playing to his ego and he'll be putty in your hands.

You need to cut your losses because it's costing too much emotionally and/or financially. Sometimes sacrifice is a gain.

Take it easy with the recreationals while Mercury is conjunct Neptune. Life's trippy enough as is.

You hit it off with a complete stranger. It's only when you discover his identity that you wonder if you spoke out of turn. Don't worry. You made a great impression.

An agency's slip-up costs. It's true that to err is human and to forgive is divine, but ask for some compensation anyway. You deserve it.

Your hands were tied, but check to make sure that that's still the case. A shift in planetary energies shows you may have loosened the knot.

Someone you had pegged as the button-down type shows a surprisingly racy side. You should know better than to judge a book by its cover. Now take a peek inside.

Don't let disappointment spoil what's on offer. It's a far cry from what you asked for, but it's still pretty good. Most people would say you're lucky.

Not every handshake will seal the deal. Sometimes you have to pick up the tab for lunch or send flowers. It pays to make the extra effort.

You're starting to view a friendship differently - as is the other person. Find a subtle way to compare notes to ensure that you're on the same page.
