Later this fall a new romantic attraction or social introduction may bring a unique circle of friends into your life. Stay open to passionate encounters and exciting group activities. Aries (March 21-April 20). News from business officials or financial agencies will offer concrete rewards early this week. Watch for new permissions, unique contracts or creative ideas for funding.

Yesterday's mistakes are now a valuable source of wisdom. React quickly to all proposals and renewed options. Taurus (April 21-May 20). New friends may be unusually expressive this week. Before Thursday, watch for a wave of competing jealousies and minor disagreements. Others will publicly defend their ideas, actions or opinions.
