A group you do want to belong to. You're still figuring out what you have to do to fit in, learn the rules and live the creed. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Most of the world's boundaries are drawn on maps yet unseen on ground. It is not uncommon for the people who live on them and walk over them every day to be unsure of where they actually lie. This is also true metaphorically. I have to get the m UK help GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
