ARIES (March 21-April 19). Right now, you’re building. This isn’t the easy part. Be mindful that you’ll hack away at this until you figure out what you’re doing. Later, you’ll be proud. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re making a difference in the life of another. Their gratitude is nice but optional, and in no way connected to the reward, which you’re still unaware of.

Congress needs to act

After the 2008 economic collapse, the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations launched a series of inquiries aimed at exposing the rot underlying the financial services industry. During one memorable hearing, then-Sen.

Daily Horoscope

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Competitive urges can be exciting to follow, but there’s risk here, too. Some of your impulses will be to do dangerous things and you’ll quickly rule them out or water them down to a more appropriate intensity. TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
