Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You commit to the comfort of others, making things such as food, order, sales and atmosphere. Do you receive the same care? When offered even small tokens, you’ll pour appreciation into it because you understand what giving costs. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You think love and understanding should go together, and yet you often have experienced relationships with only one of those things. The incompleteness may actually be part of the attraction now.
