Today may bring a keen sense of empathy and understanding, Taurus. With this, verbal communication is also more likely to be effective. Consider seizing this energy by making a point of talking through any problems or issues you have with those in your life. If they don’t live with you, see about driving over to visit them or calling them up to work things out. If there isn’t anything pressing, see about expressing your affection for those closest to you by telling them straight out what they mean to you.: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tfd.mobile.TfdSearch
