Daily Horoscope: Taurus

State the facts and nothing but the facts today. One rash statement or unfounded remark is all it takes to open a can of worms.

You're getting the feeling that a certain situation has outlived its purpose. Now's the time to take the lead and steer the course of events to benefit you.

It's been a while since you had a chance to catch your breath, but it looks like the coast is clear. As life eases up, make sure you do too.

You're entering a challenging period when you'll feel like people just want to be difficult. Actually they're standing up for their beliefs. Your respect elicits theirs.

You appreciate the generous gesture but also know your benefactor well. Make sure he hasn't promised the same thing to the other 25 of his closest friends.

Today's feeling of sacrifice transforms into relief next week. The emotional burden you've been carrying was heavier than you knew.

The Mercury/Venus conjunction shows that either way you still come out ahead. With that in mind, make sure everyone benefits.

It's not your fight (the other party is to blame) but the only way out of your current dilemma is to find common ground. Start looking for it.

Re-think a financial transaction. With Venus square Neptune, you could wind up being penny wise, but pound-foolish.

There's only one way to go. You don't like it when Fate forces your hand, so look at it as the Stars giving you a push in the right direction.
