Daily Horoscope

Today's horoscope says:

Sometime soon, you'll need to make a decision: Whether or not to let a secret see the light of day.
That's not an easy thing for you, because you can usually see both sides of the issue.
Use that famous intuition of yours to make the decision and above all else, don't -- repeat, do not -- feel guilty if your ultimate choice is to let the truth be told.
Clearing the air is always the best tactic -- if not immediately, then in the long run.

Yeah, boy!
