A headache can put a damper on your day. Tension headaches usually develop in the afternoon, causing mild or moderate pain that may feel like dull tightness or a band of pressure. Tension headaches occur when neck, shoulder, and scalp muscles become tense. Some people experience tension headaches from time to time; others get them more often. While this type of headache is rarely debilitating, it can certainly make life miserable.
If you have frequent tension headaches (more often than once or twice a week), here are some strategies that can help you prevent them:

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Changing conditions bring improvement to communications in a friendship, family relationship, marriage or love affair. A personality attribute you once viewed negatively in yourself or someone close to you now looks like a positive.
