You're a great believer in "an eye for an eye," but you don't understand why they always have to use yours.

Taurus April 20 - May 20

Gemini May 21 - June 21

You will be profoundly moved by a free tin of mints from a marketing company that clearly cares very much about you.

Cancer June 22 - July 22

In the harsh light of day, your plans seem crude and childish, making it all the more obvious that you need a good planning lamp.

The story of your love life seems boring and uneventful, so Fate has decided to throw in a plane crash and swordfight toward the end.
