Taurus, Apr 22–May 21
Your personal planet Venus spends this week in gentle, sentimental, security-conscious mode, with a strong family agenda.

Scorpio, Oct 24–Nov 22
Self-contained Scorpios aren’t astrologically inclined to overshare and naturally know what’s best left unsaid.

Sagittarius, Nov 23–Dec 21
