ARIES (March 21-April 19). Some questions are like Pandora’s box: Once opened, they release more truth and feeling than you expected. Ask only if you’re ready for the shift that follows. Choose your moment carefully. Nothing released from the box ever returns to it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Things calm down today, and you’ll get down to business. But remember, fulfillment doesn’t come from merely checking boxes. Your worth isn’t measured by output. What matters isn’t how much you do but how much you love. GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
