Daily Horoscope: Taurus

Stay on your toes next week. You won't prevent a simple misunderstanding from turning into a fiasco but you can control the fallout.

Take the wind out of an opponent's argument by agreeing with everything s/he has to say. They'll be left speechless.

Reconsider the financial path you're on. That loan or investment you resist exploring could very well be the key to solvency.

The plus side to circumstances being so dire is anything you do will be an improvement. Believe in yourself. If anyone can pull a situation out of a nosedive Ð it's you.

Best-laid plans get dislodged and there may be good reason for it. Don't fight to get things back on track. This could be propitious.

A financial matter works out in your favor, but it's hard to get excited considering its cost. But then again it would have been worse if you had lost.

Though this is a critical time financially, it also forces you to deal with issues you've been postponing. Step up to the plate.

Today you emerge from a personally grueling period. It's proof positive that you can handle what life throws at you (within reason of course).

It wasn't long ago when you were the profligate one. Be kind when a friend admits a money problem. This person needs your support, not a life lecture.

You may begin the day feeling down in the dumps, but friends don't see your loss as a defeat. If anything, they see it as a resounding victory. Maybe you should, too.
