TAURUS (April 20-May 20): My pregnant friend Myrna is determined to avoid giving birth via Caesarean section. She believes that the best way for her son to enter the world is by him doing the tough work of squeezing through the narrow birth canal.

I invite you to think back to a time in your own past when victory was short-lived.
