Daily Horoscope: Taurus

You'll rarely cut a slacker some slack, but you're right to do this and in time you will benefit from your own leniency.

Most people quit under pressure, but not you. The steeper the challenge, the more determined you become. Look for a surprise victory on the 23rd.

You don't like locking horns over an ultimatum, but you'll do whatever it takes to defend your interests. Your unexpected resistance gives you the upper hand.

Just because a certain someone proves inflexible doesn't mean everyone else will. There's a sympathetic party somewhere in that sea of stony faces.

All's well that ends well - at least for now. That said you might want to wait a few days before suggesting how things could be improved.

A no-win situation holds the key to your success. Gaining much needed experience will be ample reward for your trouble.

You may think that people know where you stand, but it looks like someone could do with a little reminding today.

Something you assumed had to be done a certain way is being revamped. Why feel resentful when there's now an easier way to do things?

Confidence has improved, but you're still trying to fit into others' expectations. Rethink the cart and horse. You come first.

An application or bid gets sent back but it's not the rejection you think. Try again in October.
