Horoscope - June 14, 2012

June 14, 2012

When was the last time you gave anonymously? By definition, an anonymous act of kindness will not bring reward, partly because no one will know who did the deed and partly because the anonymous act of kind­ness is the reward. A lucky trine of the sun and Saturn occurs until June 16, highlighting matters of personal and social responsibility.

 

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a gleam in your eye as you set your heart on a fresh adventure. People connect with you. In fact, be­fore this day is through, you will have brought more than one person out of a funk.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). How fast things can change! By afternoon, you’ll know why the morning’s plan wasn’t comprehensive enough. A new attack on the problems of the day will yield results by bedtime.

 

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Make yourself comfortable in your own life­style.

 This won’t require money so much as organizational skills and the ability to set some limits, especially with your nearest and dearest.

 

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You like companionship, but you also re­alize that life can be prosperous and great without it, too. Being versatile and not the least bit needy makes you the ideal partner.

 

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your tal­ent for self-reflection will be high­lighted, as will your ability to assess your relationships clearly. When it’s not working, it’s nobody’s fault. You’ll take on the responsibility to fix it yourself.

 

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Life is one big wonderful journey, and you don’t feel wed to the road map. You don’t even feel wed to the road itself. Figuratively, your vehicle is capable of an off-road adventure.

 

 

 

 

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of your more discerning moods takes hold, and you wonder why you should ac­cept what’s given when you clearly can negotiate or charm your way into better options.

 

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In ad­dition to the family you were born into, you have created and maintained a family of friends. You’ll enjoy the fact that you can choose the cast of char­acters that accompanies you in your personal story.

 

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s no end to what fascinates you. You’re enthralled with human history, nature, children, love, sunshine, dew, gravity... The hard part is quieting your brilliant mind at the end of the day. 

 

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your relationship with extended family will influence your day. If you’re married, this may have to do with your in-laws. You’ll pave the way for peaceful future interactions.

 

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sameness leads to staleness. It takes more effort to mix things up, but keep striving for variety. It allows you to bet­ter enjoy the things that give you plea­sure.

 

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are creative at your core, though it doesn’t always present itself in the way some people think creativity would. Artistic tal­ent is only one small sector of the broad spectrum of your gifts.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 14). You don’t need symbols of success in order to feel good about yourself, but you’ll still enjoy the signs that you are growing rich and powerful. The next six weeks bring many such signs. An educational pursuit will connect you with new friends in August. October is best for travel. Wedding bells ring in December. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 2, 4, 31 and 29.

12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the en­ergy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkwardness. Virgo’s lesson in social graces can be found in books.

Manners and social behaviors are usually learned at home. There are very few people in the world who seek liter­ary instruction on etiquette, which auto­matically puts those readers ahead of the game -- and that’s just where Virgos like to be. The sign of self-improvement, Virgo knows the secret: Limiting your­self to the manners you grew up with ensures that you only will feel com­pletely comfortable when you’re with people like you. Learning customs and formalities beyond the familiar opens the world to you.

A person should never feel ashamed or embarrassed by what they don’t know. Ruled by Mercury, Virgos love knowledge and are quite often avid readers on many topics. Finding out the way to formally dine, make small talk or take a meeting can be as exciting a read as any adventure novel because it paves the way for the reader to create their own adventure: the epic journey to social ease.

June 03, 2012

Love can be fragile, or it can be mighty. Much depends upon how love is grown and protected. Venus follows the sun into nurturing Cancer, a favorable place for the love goddess to mend past relationship pain and build future ties through affectionate attention. Choose a relationship you’d like to work on in the weeks to come.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your mistakes will be magnificent marks of your growth. Your sign mate and avant-garde playwright Samuel Beckett said it well. “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even when you are very still, some part of you, like your mind or your heart, is dancing. You dance to music, to life — with a human partner or with the wind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Relationships change. They have to in order to keep up with the ever-changing structure of life. You are emotionally secure and, therefore, not jarred by the changes. Instead, you expect and welcome them.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You intend to be patient and loving, and that is usually how you come across. You sometimes have to remind yourself of this intention, though. It does need to be periodically reset.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your inner reality is different from the inner reality of your loved ones, especially those of the opposite sex. Your needs are different, too. You recognize this and do what makes you feel safe, secure, creative and vital.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your aim is to go out and be dynamic as you work to make the world a better place. You may only “go out” as far as the local grocery store, but the way you interact there will still improve the world.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What you witness will move you. Your heart will melt as you surrender to the love you feel. There’s no good reason to resist this process, so go with it and be emotionally free.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your plans are not exactly working out the way you wanted them to, but don’t get too upset about it. This new way is most likely the absolute best way, which you’ll find out once you drop your resistance to it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s time to get conscious of the rules and regulations that go along with being in a relationship with you. Do you know what they are? Think about what a person has to do to please you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be visiting new venues and perhaps a place of worship. Observe others to learn what’s expected. Note that applause can be encouraging and congratulatory, but it is not always acceptable.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Intention is powerful. You send terrific energy to your family, and they deal with their challenges more easily because of the boost. It helps that you also act in a way that supports your loved ones.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There is so much going on for you these days that the thought of having time to yourself may seem indulgent and impractical. And yet, it is vital to your health and well-being.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 3). You’ll have great powers of tenacity this year. You’ll make a statement about your intentions and follow through until that statement comes true. This month brings helpful teachers and new resources. A love relationship inspires you in July. August brings domestic improvements at a discount. Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 8, 14, 36 and 42.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: Venus joins the solar exploratory expedition through the realm of the crab this week, and here’s the legend of Cancer in a nutshell:
Zeus has an affair (big surprise), the result of which is the strapping Greek and Roman favorite, Hercules. Hera, Zeus’ wife, wants to kill this love child, but try as she may, Hercules is simply too strong. So Hera sits back and waits until the day when Hercules — risk taker, daredevil and macho man — gets into dangerous trouble on his own. Bingo! Hercules soon gets into a fight with a water serpent. Hera sends Cancer, her faithful and valiant little house pet, to aid the water serpent. What was she thinking? Though Cancer may have made a wonderful domestic companion (although one can only imagine the challenges involved in potty-training a crab), she isn’t such a great guard-crab. As the poor crustacean is nipping at Hercules’ feet, she gets trampled in the scuffle. Cancer was immortalized for her ferocious sensitivity to the wounded feelings of her mistress when Hera placed the crab’s image in the night sky as a reward for her service. — excerpt from “Rock Your Stars, The Astrological Guide to Getting It All”

June 4, 2012

 In days of old, an eclipse of any kind came with the terrible fear that the gods had finally had it with us and decided to take away the sun or the moon, as it were. This was followed by a wave of relief brought on by the return of the sun or the moon. False alarm, everyone. The full moon and the lunar eclipse in Sagittarius reminds us how far humanity has com
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The thing that makes you unique is price­less and definitely something to cel­ebrate and play up. To think you once tried to hide this quality. Now you know better!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your strong sense of duty will play into the plot of the day. You’re a good friend, so you’re willing to do what’s right for a re­lationship even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll deepen relationships through giving. Not only will you feel moved to give to your loved ones, but you’ll be inspired to team up with a partner or group to give to others in need.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Some­one sees enormous potential in you and may want to mentor you. It will feel good to know that your contributions are val­ued, though you may not be eager for advice at this point.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Other peo­ple’s negativity needn’t affect you. If you ignore it, it will probably just go away. People will pick up on your cues about how to behave. They’ll sense when they are doing something that you think is un­cool.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re a natural teacher, and you’ll provide an­other with a helpful model of creativity. Consider sharing your workspace with someone to give this person an idea of how you like to do things.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The creative momentum you establish will have a ripple effect, carrying over in

 a winsome and obliging way to the others involved in your work and beyond. You can’t imagine the good you’ll do.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Afraid of being overpowered, you may assert yourself in a way that’s stronger than the situation seems to require. This is a smart move that sends a message. Trust your protective instincts.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re on the precipice of a new phase of work. Your skills are wings, and you have practiced with them long enough to trust that when you’re ready to jump, you’ll also be ready to fly.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A friend’s kindness will inspire an immedi­ate response, which you execute almost automatically, compelled by a sense of quiet loyalty and gratitude.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Free people often take their liberty for granted, but not you, at least not today. With great exuberance, you’ll exercise your freedom to communicate, believe and create in the way you see fit.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have the tenacity to rise above circum­stances in order to fulfill a commitment, even when the commitment isn’t formally spelled out. In an honorable gesture,  you’ll uphold an unspoken promise.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 4). Win­ning at home and in your close circle of relationships will be most satisfying. Your loved ones find you thoughtful and involved, which is why you’re on every­one’s “favorites” list. New ventures ener­gize you in July. The domestic scene gets a fun makeover in August. Bonus money comes in September and December. Leo and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 2, 31 and 12.
AQUARIUS MOTIVATION SECRETS: When Barbra Streisand crooned that “people who need people are the luckiest people in the world,” she was probably talking about an Aquarius. “People” are not only what Aquarius needs; they are what Aquarius enjoys, feels drawn to­ward and wants to help. In short, Aquari­us is motivated by people.
That’s not to say that Aquarius can’t work alone. As long as the goal is to help, entertain or contribute in some
 way to others, Aquarius will work long solo hours to accomplish this end. However, the best scenario is one that allows Aquarius to team up, bounce around ideas with partners and be in the company of those with a common purpose.
If you’re an Aquarius struggling to stay motivated, consider gathering a team of supporters to add account­ability to your plan. You’re much more likely to accomplish a goal if you have someone to report to at checkpoints along the way. Whomever you report to should be consistent and helpful and should make a reasonably strong impression on your psyche so that you wouldn’t want to let this person or team down.

June 05, 2012

Yesterday featured the full moon, a lunar eclipse, the retrograde of Neptune and a squared aspect be­tween Venus and Mars. It’s a lot to take in. Luckily, today’s lull in the action will give us a chance to pro­cess the changes whirling around in this highly charged atmosphere. The earthy Capricorn moon will keep us grounded.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have a flash of insight, an ideal picture of where you want to go. Because of this vision, you are the perfect one to lead a group of people with similar goals and interests.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The details will be the difference between falling on your face and winning the race. In other words, before you rush forward, make sure your shoes are tied.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What moment of your life would you re­live a thousand times if you could?
 Identifying the factors that added up to this special time will help you cre­ate scenarios that offer the same kind of charge.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). People say “just kidding,” and what they mean is “this is true, at least in part.” You’re usu­ally attuned to the message behind the message, and now you’re even more aware of what people really mean.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Unfortu­nately, you can’t become the person you want to be by continuing to do what you’ve been doing. You may not be ready to make adjustments just yet, but you will be in the mood to mull over your options.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A per­plexing issue gives you a chance to practice what you’ve learned. You’ve ad­dressed situations like this before. Detail the lessons you’ve learned and how you can apply them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each day gives you 24 hours to live fully. How many moments is that? Some will go through

 the entire day zombie-like, not creating or being present to a single moment. You’ll try to do the opposite.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You believe it’s your role and responsibility to help everyone else have a good time, and you’ll do an excellent job. You may sacrifice your own satisfaction and fun in the process, but you’ll get your turn soon.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll hear about a quick fix, but it’s actu­ally a lie in both the “quick” and the “fix” departments. What you do over a long-term period will give you better results.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The plan is doable, and it’s going to be suc­cessful.
 Someone who keeps telling you that will be critical to the results. Figure out how to attract more team members. Perhaps this will include simply asking for help.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll manage your life in the practical way you might manage a business. Outline the best outcome you could hope for and the most critical steps you could take to achieve it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will prove your skill in the art of reconciliation. You know how to fight, too, but your sin­cere want of a peaceful solution keeps you striving for a gentle outcome.
 TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 5). Mak­ing people laugh will be a priority, and you’ll love the way people light up around you. This month someone will right a past wrong, and you finally will receive what you deserve from the situation. July brings chances to mingle, bring friends together and do lucrative business. August is most romantic. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 2, 39, 49 and 14.
PISCES MOTIVATION SECRETS: Aristotle said that the soul never thinks without a picture. Imaginative Pisces is adept at piecing together these pictures into a filmstrip of imagery that keeps Pisces engaged and excited about life. Because Pisces energy is among the most imaginative astrological influ­ences -- ruled by Neptune, the planet that governs, among other things, dreams, visions and fantasies -- Pisces responds best to a heightened version of reality. So the less a Pisces’ mental pictures have to do with the reality of
 how things look the better. Outra­geous, otherworldly and improbable mental pictures flip on motivational forces in Pisces, helping the sign of the fish to perform at top levels.
If you’re a Pisces struggling to stay motivated, consider creating a vision board to help you stay in­spired. Choose images for your goal that not only spark an enthusiastic response in you, but also stimulate your imagination. Give your images a twist. For instance, set your dream house on the moon, or if your goal is to lose weight, choose a picture of the body you’d like to create, and then color it pink or green so that the image stands out powerfully in your imagination.

June 6, 2012

The Capricorn moon is a serious instructor, shadowing the student’s every move with quiet tips and sug­gestions. The energy of rebellion will churn inside those who have author­ity issues. Some learn through cor­rection and duplication; others do better through experimentation and making mistakes. What kind of stu­dent are you?
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Who you need and want people to be often turns out to be significantly different from who they really are. Stay obser­vant, and don’t let your expectations get the better of your judgment.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you hesitate and question your instincts, you’ll miss out on an opportunity. In­stead, trust yourself and go forward. Clouds will lift. The sun will light your path.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re so charismatic these days that you’re apt to attract new friends. Before you go forward, you’ll think about how well you’re able to nurture the relationships that are already in your life.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You won’t try to read minds, even though you probably know more about what another person is thinking than most people do. Instead, you’ll take the healthiest route: You’ll communicate.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone is as graceful at it as you are. If you fal­ter, you’ll quickly recover and attend to the necessary corrections or amends. Then comes the best part: You get to laugh it off.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll learn from those who set the bar very high in their area of expertise. However, the very thing that is supposed to inspire you could also depress you unless you really believe in yourself. So believe in yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In the weeks to come, you’ll build something that makes you proud. The work you’re doing right now is foundational. Success depends on taking your time and getting the plans right.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Life suddenly will get simple for you. You’ll recognize that what others are doing is irrelevant to your choices. You’ll know what’s right for you, and you’ll do it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t possibly give everyone the same treatment, because each person brings out something different in you. That’s why it’s so important to choose your company well.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Writing things down will solidify them in your mind and in your life. Putting infor­mation into your phone or computer isn’t the same. Your pen has a kind of magic in it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most people feel at ease around you. You smile often, and that helps. Complete strangers know the warmth of your smile, and they feel happier because of it.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to be a saint all of the time to raise the vibration of humanity. You can raise the vibration of humanity by being just 10 percent more patient and loving.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 6). You give more thought to what you want from a relationship than you ever have, and you’ll create magic in your personal life. This month brings professional change; you’ll close one door and open another. July features a lucrative transaction. October is your time to bond with family through special events. Aries and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 25, 49, 31 and 14.
12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: “Dear Holi­day, I’m nothing like my sign. Gemini is supposed to be outgoing with the gift of gab. If I have that gift, I haven’t found it. I usually say the wrong thing, forget people’s names or man­age to bring up the one subject they most don’t want to talk about. It’s no wonder people usually seem less than enthusiastic about getting to know me. Is there hope?”
Thank you for this question. I know you’ll be successful at improv­ing your social skills. Wanting to do so is a sign that you are socially aware, even if that awareness hap­pens to be that your skills need work.
You’ve inspired me to explore the lessons inside the energy of each sign in regard to social awkward­ness. Let’s start at the beginning with Aries energy. The first-born sign of the zodiac is associated with the phrase “I am.” All social ease stems from self-awareness. You can’t relate to others until you know yourself. The better you know yourself the more fun and relaxed you’ll be with others because you’ll be in tune with what makes you laugh, captures your in­terest and stirs your curiosity. More on this tomorrow!

Mercury decides to help out our domestic scene, sweeping through Cancer between now and June 25. This will kick up some dust around the homestead, and like many improve­ment efforts, things might appear to get messier on the way to a gleaming end result. For luck, work with your nearest and dearest for a better home life.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes other people’s drama is hard to distinguish from your own drama, especially when those “other people” are your loved ones. Unless someone really needs your protection, stay out of it.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Even if the only person you’re competing with is yourself, it’s still not a fair game because you’re never the same person two days in a row. Competition isn’t the point. Showing up consistently to do your best is what matters.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The voice inside you, frankly, can be a bit  of a bully if not kept in check. You’ll be more aware of your mental self-talk, and through that awareness, you’ll tame this harsh influence.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ve known true happiness before, and now you may feel like you’re chasing after it, powerless to bring it back. The answer is to stop chasing and start building.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your love of stories isn’t an indulgence; it’s a neces­sary part of your growth. A good book will suck you in, and you’ll never be quite out of it. It will become part of the way you see the world from now on.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Even if you wanted to, there are not enough hours in the day to reply to every call, let­ter, email and sales pitch that comes your way. Furthermore, you might be happier replying to none of them today.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you’re in a hurry, the first thing to do is slow down. This will prevent you from mak­ing mistakes -- and since you don’t have any time to lose, mistakes will be even more costly. Go fast by going slow.  
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Strangely, taking on responsibility makes you feel lighter. The more people depend on you the less likely you are to give up. You gain strength and become capable of more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been thinking and planning long enough. It’s time to jump in. You probably don’t feel completely prepared, and no one ever does. Get in motion anyway.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Thomas Jefferson advised, “When angry, count to 10 before you speak. If very an­gry a hundred.” When frustration levels rise, hit the pause button, and they will fall just as quickly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Only you know what pleases you the most. This is a day to slide through that conduit to happiness instead of taking one for the team or compromising for the pleasure of others.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a feeling that you can help people, and you’re right. The first one you should help is you. Test out your methods, and see whether they work. Keep track of the results.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 7). You get to know yourself better this year and discover what you really want in life. The next six weeks are experimental, and a series of temporary situations helps you understand what your next move has to be. An unusual education begins in Au­gust. November brings healing for your family. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 38 and 40.
12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the energy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy the ailment of social awkwardness. The foundation of social ease starts with the Aries dic­tum: Know thyself. Your awareness of your own preferences and delights will magnetize anything in your environ­ment you are likely to prefer or delight in. People with similar sensibilities will be attracted to you, and you’ll hit it off because of all you have in common. You don’t have to be an Aries to take this lesson to heart. But what is the best way to get to know yourself? And how will you know that your educa­tion is complete?
That last question is easy: It never will be complete. You’re al­ways changing. That said, you should be able to answer some basic questions about your likes, dislikes and interests, so self-in­quiry is the best place to start the journey to you. What do you like to do? What are your favorite foods, music, sports? What have been the most pivotal moments of your life thus far? How would you describe yourself? What’s your story?
Devote time to writing down the answers to these questions and more. You might be surprised by what you come up with and where it takes you.

 It was the legendary architect and designer Frank Lloyd Wright, born to­day in the year 1867, who said, “An idea is salvation by imagination.” The innovative Aquarius moon concurs wholeheartedly, bringing the inspira­tion to artists and artful livers alike. Take advantage of the celestial mood by dreaming something no one has dreamed before.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The one who says “I don’t know” knows. The one who says “I don’t care” might care more deeply than anyone else. Pay close attention to the feelings be­hind the words.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll provide what a person needs most: an understanding heart and maybe a hand to hold, too. This you’ll do without cause or motive other than to release the compassion inside you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). An interesting dynamic occurs to teach this lesson: It doesn’t matter how fantastic you are at your job. What matters is whether other people know and believe that you are fantastic at your job.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Every­one has an act, but you’ve grown tired of yours and would much rather show up as just you, no frills, contrivances or cover-ups. Authenticity matters more to you every day.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Freedom means something different to every person. You’ll exercise your freedom by reveling in unscheduled time, following the whim of the moment. Does it count that you had to schedule this time to be unscheduled?
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll take charge of a situation and make a proposal. Whether it is rejected or ac­cepted, you’ll have changed the dynamic of a relationship by presenting very inter­esting options.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is nothing wrong with wanting more recognition and responsibility. A title will give you the validation and respect from the outside world that you seek.  
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Op­portunities that come your way are a bit more complicated than you’d like. You may feel too constrained by your circum­stances to agree to the terms presented. State the conditions under which you could say yes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even if a person has been a part of your life for many years, you can always dis­cover some fresh brilliance in that per­son. This is a fact that today will prove.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll make a super leader. Your talent ­for transforming resistance into accep­tance will be highlighted. Problems are a chance for you to generate solutions that leave everyone better off.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll have to show people what you mean, provide an example they can duplicate and basically demonstrate by doing the work yourself. They’ll catch on soon enough, just not today.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you’re wondering why someone keeps coming back to you for help, it’s be­cause you keep providing it. Only you know for sure what you’re willing to give comfortably and how healthy this arrangement is.
 TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 8). This year you’ll expand your reach. Publicizing your work, cause or beliefs will bring success in July, when you’ll show your fantastic face to the world. People confide in you and rely on you in August. You’ll lead a team to vic­tory in September. December brings a financial risk, and you’ll be rewarded, too. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 36, 9, 30 and 21.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: AR­IES: You can rescue your heart’s desire by naming it out loud. TAURUS: Pick your battles. Only go to the mat on important matters. GEMINI: Your excitement over a project makes you more attractive. You wear passion well. CANCER: You’ll knock yourself out to make meetings special and will reap rewards and enjoy­ment from the effort. LEO: This weekend, love will mean simply being there for another. VIRGO: In a quiet mood, you’ll share enough to intrigue others, and what you hold back will build a mystery around you. LIBRA: Be careful not to insult the ones you’re with by talking too favorably or often about the ones who aren’t there. SCORPIO: It will help you to make a conscious choice about what you want from a personal relation­ship and how you might go about get­ting it instead of rolling with whatever comes. SAGITTARIUS: You’re aware of the vulnerabilities of others and will consider it your duty to protect feelings to the extent you are able. CAPRI­CORN: You’ll try to see it from the other person’s point of view, no questions asked. AQUARIUS: Love is never say­ing “I told you so.” PISCES: Your loved ones need you, and you’ll do whatever it takes to deliver.

June 09, 2012

 The moon floating between Aquarius and Pisces finds different ways to provide help and hope. If you can’t make a situation better through technology or intellectual means, move to the spiritual realm. Your belief in someone may be as intangible as your prayers, and yet both undeniably will make a differ­ence.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When you tell a person no, you do so in a way that is respectful and gives hope. People appreciate your tact and reso­nate with your humanity. You’ll enjoy social ease.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are things you don’t do (e.g., meditate, exercise, read) because you think you don’t have the time to actually make time for you. Give it a shot!
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may have moments of doubt, but rest assured, success will feel as good as you thought it would feel. So keep going so you can revel in the rush of victory.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). A strong person can master others. Mastering oneself takes more than strength; it takes true power. That’s what you’re striving for, and that’s what you’ll attain.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The fewer commitments you make the better. You’ll enjoy your time more if you’re not rushing around to all the places you’re expected to be. If you must show up, arrive early.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Consider that your attempts at normalcy may be unnecessary. It’s safe for you to be an individual instead of part of a mass of people. Everyone is better off when you express your uniqueness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You fully appreciate what you have and use it to your greatest advantage. Once you prove that you can maximize your existing resources, new and bigger resources will be made readily available.  
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a fine line between pressure and support. Those who cross that line will send you running in the other di­rection. Tell people how they can best help you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You could accidentally make the right choice despite the clatter of your busy mind. But it’s the decisions you make with mental clarity that will stand the test of time.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your well of willpower is running low.
 Trying to force yourself to behave won’t work. Clever tactics are needed if you are to stick to the plan. Give yourself greater incentive.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Kin­dred souls abound, though they seem to be in hiding. Keep looking for your tribe. You’ve seen a few that fit the profile and enough to suggest that there are many more.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll bravely move out of your element. You’re not afraid to enter tough rooms where the tension is thick and the ex­pectations are tall. You’re bigger than the situation, and you’re just the one to break the ice.
 TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 9). You’ll celebrate the abundance of love in your life this year. Stressful burdens will be lifted as you learn new behav­iors. What happens in July is like a golden bridge to the next phase of your work. August brings new interests and curiosities. Your relationships with oth­er generations will bring good fortune in November. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 39, 37, 28 and 18.
12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the en­ergy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy the ailment of social awkwardness. Taurus takes the Aries dictum “know thyself” one step further, asking us to articulate exactly what it is we are bringing to the party. Inside the Taurus phrase “I have” is an invitation to tally up your offerings and also to assess a value. While Aries en­ergy is about self-knowledge, Taurus energy focuses on self-esteem.
 The gorgeous one who doesn’t carry herself like a beauty and the hilarious guy who’s afraid to ask her out are classic examples of people who have the goods and don’t value them enough to be ef­fective. Taurus energy reminds us that worth is a perception that starts with you. Perceive your of­ferings to have a high value, and others will take your cue.
Of course, you don’t have to be a Taurus to apply the lesson that Tau­rus teaches to smooth out your social life. Self-esteem enhancing practices such as positive thinking and self-en­couragement pave the way for upbeat, comfortable and easy social interac­tions.

June 10, 2012

The deliberate Taurus sun trains our eye on the goal, which is both personal and financial. The loquacious Gemini moon helps by keeping the conversation popping: How can we help each other? Let’s talk about it. As the moon shifts into Cancer tonight, popcorn and a movie in your own home never sounded so appealing.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). One thing becomes glaringly clear today. You no longer can continue in the old way. An unusual occurrence will stir up your system. You’ll change the plan because of what happens.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your friends do what feels natural to them, which leads to actions that you may not understand at all. Whether they support or sink you, they feel they are doing the right thing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be in a daring mood, leaning into a positive view of the future. Your plans will shape you. However, the present moment is all you’ll ever really have or need.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Struggling to make money is not your favorite way to spend the hours. On the other hand, you love to spend time and energy on a cause that helps others. Your work could go either way today, depending on how you look at it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your choices won’t please everyone, no matter what they are. Defending them may be a waste of time. Avoid the argument, and just know that as long as you do right by your own code, good will come of it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be united in a common purpose, or at least in the general sense that such a thing does exist. There’s an energetic bond between you and the group. And though it’s invisible, you can feel it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Wishes are like magic seeds. Don’t cast them to the wind to be carried far from you. You’ll never see them land that way. Focus on what’s close to you. Grow your happiness in your own yard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some things are best excluded from your life altogether because they are too difficult to control. Choose your passions carefully, and invite only the manageable ones into your life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Others seek your opinion, not because they will allow themselves to be influenced by it, but because it will show them who you are. They will decide whether or not to trust you.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Exercise and study are not optional extras only for those who have time on their hands. These elements are essential to your happiness now — as important as anything else you do to keep life running smoothly.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your ancestors had to struggle for freedom, and sometimes you feel that the fight continues in you. It’s a different battlefield, but the battle is the same. This is your chance to be valiant.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve been busy and focused on others. Carve out some time for taking care of yourself. Believe it or not, this is your main responsibility in life — not one you should avoid for too long.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12) You’re not averse to competition. You realize that the big rewards go to those willing to take a risk. Your calm and confident ways will give you the edge. June is filled with romantic days and nights. Community service plays into your social life in July. New work comes in August. You share a special connection with Aries and Libra people. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 22, 49 and 15.
WEEKEND LOVE FORECAST: ARIES: You realize the awesome power of your mind, especially in regard to the laws of attraction. TAURUS: You are highly susceptible to glamour now, which is why someone will bewitch you with his or her star quality. GEMINI: Your mood is more changeable than usual. Seek stable partners to balance you. CANCER: If you’ve made an unmemorable impression on someone, you can turn it all around this weekend. LEO: You bring zest and energy to the party, which is why the celebration seems to center around you. VIRGO: You don’t have an agenda. You flirt pointlessly, and that’s what makes the flirting so good. LIBRA: Relationships will test you. Your level of commitment will be obvious. SCORPIO: When in doubt about what to spend on yourself or a date, spend more instead of less. SAGITTARIUS: Your temperament is so compatible with other fire signs, Aries and Leo. CAPRICORN: You feel alluring, and others find you alluring, too. This is no coincidence. AQUARIUS: The pleasantries you exchange may sound innocent, but they have much deeper significance than casual exchanges. PISCES: The story in your head is running the story of your love life, so imagine something good.

June 11. 2012

It’s nonstop action in the heav­ens, starting with Jupiter’s entrance into Gemini, where he’ll be until June 25, 2013. Communication technology won’t just step forward; it will leap like a springbok gazelle into a future of mind­boggling connectivity. As if in prepa­ration for all the excitement, Mercury squares Uranus and then opposes Pluto.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Seize the moments of calm, as you need to relax and rejuvenate be­tween challenges. Remember that every difficult environment is a place to grow creatively, spiritually and per­sonally.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The day’s events give you an opportunity to uphold your standards of equality and fairness. It’s the meaning inside small choices that matters most to you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know the social secret that takes the pressure off of any interaction: Other people are thinking primarily about themselves. All you have to do is show up with that charming smile and nod along.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even if your only reason for saying no to someone is that you don’t feel right saying yes, it’s reason enough. Your in­tuition is always feeding you legitimate information.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sometimes you’re afraid that if you accept help you are automatically indebted to the other person. That’s not the case today, so go ahead and let others do some of the work when they offer.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Common sense is not always common knowledge. You’ll pick up valuable information that seems rather obvious. Applying it will bring a kind of magic solution for a both­ersome problem.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Every traveler along life’s highway needs a rest stop every now and then. Your body may be telling you that you could use a bit more tenderness and care. Figuratively, it’s time to pull over and fuel up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Not liking the way things are, you’ll take an important step to change it. Your small move is enough to make a difference, but if you really want to see a different world, consistent steps over time will do the trick.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even though you’re serious about doing your work well, you’ll likely choose com­panionship over business. The personal time you shared with another person will make a memory.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes you feel like an old soul, but today brings a crisp, naive silliness to your experience that suggests that this lifetime will bring many fresh surprises.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A relationship heats up, and you’ll go into hyper-observant mode. You’ll read the situation as if it were your favorite book, hanging on every word and thrilling to each page turn to find out what happens next.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to do everything that is of­fered to you. Opportunities may arise that you simply can’t get excited about. It’s acceptable to leave an offer on the  table for someone else to take advan­tage of.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 11). Strong and ambitious, you’ll set out to make your mark on the world today. The next six weeks show you acquir­ing a skill you’ll use for years to come. You’ll receive good news on the topic of family in July. In August, you’ll trade old habits for new. September brings routine changes and lifestyle improve­ments. Capricorn and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 20, 1, 22 and 49.
12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the en­ergy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkward­ness. Gemini natives are typically at ease in social situations, picking up on cues and sensing the best way to make connections. When a Gemini is shy, it’s usually because this highly intelligent  creature is over-thinking things. More often than not, Gemini finds conversational banter relatively easy. The ten­dency to beat is in sharing TMI: too much information.
You don’t have to be a Gemini to take the social lesson of Gemini to heart. Every person has a level of curiosity to be flirted with. Tell people a little less than they really want to know, and you’ll have them leaning forward trying to sate the appetite for information you’ve whetted. Tell them too much, and watch them re­coil. Sometimes they will recoil with a micro-expression that can only be caught on videotape or, as it turns out, in your amazing subconscious mind. And if the recoil is bigger than that, make a note to self: You have officially crossed the line.

June 12, 2012

Many scientists now believe in the existence, and perhaps abun­dance, of rogue planets wandering the galaxy unbound by parent stars. The independent Aries moon and a lingering square of Mercury and re­bellious Uranus remind us how lib­erating it can be to break away from our usual orbits and head toward un­known constellations.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The day unfolds at an excited pace. And though the lively feeling is exhilarat­ing, you also are determined to move slowly and steadily along so you can savor each task and stay on purpose.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To­day, it’s better to deal with people who are not like you, as homogeny robs you of perspective. Those who have had fewer opportunities will help you to be grateful for all the re­sources you have.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you dare to follow your creative spirit, it will lead you to the most unlikely places. You’re not the only one developing a fas­cination for what is novel, oddball or just plain weird.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Suc­cess is not a meal to be gobbled up alone. It’s a banquet to be savored among guests. Invite others to share in the bounty you’ve acquired, because more is on the way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can af­ford to be somewhat whimsical with your choices, and you’ll enjoy the day a whole lot more if you are! Take a gamble. Win or lose, it won’t be held against you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Deal with life’s actual events instead of stressing about the possible scenarios that might happen. All you can do now is handle to­day’s work and trust in the spirit of good­ness that guides your tomorrows.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cher­ish your friendships not only in your heart, but also through your deeds. Stay on the lookout for ways to lift and empower your loved ones, because prime opportunities and ideas will cross your path.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It used to be that people believed the answers were blowing in the wind. Some be­lieve that the answers are now trending on Twitter or YouTube. Just to be safe, check everywhere.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you share your honest appraisal of a situation, you do more good than you could possibly know. However, this is only the case if it’s your job to share the opinion or if you were asked to do so.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The general consensus may be generally erroneous. But you’ll make a decision
 based on your gut response to what’s happening, unfazed as to the popularity of the choice.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Not everyone wants to be famous. You’re proof of that now because you’d rather lock your information in a safe than put it out there for the whole world to electroni­cally stumble upon.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to struggle against your de­sire. Instead, embrace it. It’s not a for­eign entity visiting to annoy you. Desire comes from your heart, and it has some­thing to teach you.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12). Your kindness will inspire tolerance in
 others. World peace may just start with you. In June, you’ll collect the tools that will liberate you in your professional life. July brings a romantic connection that ignites your creativity. October is your chance to move or renovate. December brings the funny story you’ll be telling for years. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 22, 49 and 32.
12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the en­ergy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkwardness. Cancer offers up the notion that social graces start at home.
Ideally, everyone would be taught a degree of manners that could afford comfort in a variety of scenarios: at a cocktail party, meeting VIPs, attend­ing a public event, a job interview, etc. Realistically, most people are taught manners that apply to the scenarios their parents have encountered. Any­thing outside the familiar realm has the
 potential to set off internal alarms. If those kinds of bells are ringing, Can­cer has a remedy.
The lesson of Cancer is never to discount what you know. Only a fool rejects roots. Accepting and loving where you came from is essential to feeling comfortable in the world. Some find it easy to find loveable qualities in their home of origin, and others associate nothing but pain and awkwardness with their back­ground. But even the worst scenario has benefits. Maybe it contributed to a fighting, surviving and independent spirit, or maybe it’s simply a shining example of what not to do. Cancer energy teaches that home is home for a reason. Embrace it.

Your Daily Horoscope Guide

June 13, 2012

This June moon in Aries could be renamed “The Moxie Moon,” as she crosses the sky with a brazen spirit, sprinkling chutzpah in her wake. Also, the sun angles responsible Saturn to bring a present to Gemini people cel­ebrating their birthdays this time of year. The gift is big-time motivation and the organizational skills needed for getting life gloriously together.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Were you born this way, or did you become this way? The only rightful conclusion is: It doesn’t matter. Em­bracing the you that you’ve become without further question is your best move yet.

 TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When was the last time you wrote a letter to a famous person or to someone who could change the laws and systems by which society abides? Reaching out today will be lucky for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There’s someone you feel drawn to talk with, and there is absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t. Today is perfect. Sit down and tell this person what you’re thinking.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The only thing more delicious than a juicy opportunity is the ability to recognize it when it comes along. Street smarts, practicality and financial savvy will help you turn a profit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There is little between you and the one who has your heart; no gap to bridge or wound to heal, but maybe there’s a phone call to make. Make it tonight after 7 p.m.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The one you love is going through some drama that you may or may not be a part of. If you’re separate from the angst, continue to stay as far away from it as you pos­sibly can.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Be care­ful about telling people what you want to learn, because information has a way of expanding to the capacity of your curiosity. Bite-sized knowledge will delight you -- but anything more and you’re stuffed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Reach out, and another person will reach toward you to close the space. Go forward, and you’ll be accepted and embraced. Think the best of people, and your open mind and heart bring out the best, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your original expectation of someone may have proved wrong, but all is not lost. This person will contribute some­thing valuable and quite different from what you anticipated.

 CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Learning gets frustrating. Not under­standing as fast as you’d like, you may be tempted to quit. Better to take a breather than to make a rash decision.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can be proud of the relationships you’ve built. You also know that friend­ship needs to be continually cared for. You’ll give your personal life more at­tention, focusing on the friendships that inspire you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A minor adventure, like the adventure of buying groceries or getting to work, will lead to a more substantial journey in the weeks to come. Your attitude makes it so.

 TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 13). You’ll use your talent for choosing the perfect name for things and give your goals, projects and responsibilities a touch of magic. You’ll love the groove you hit in your personal life over the next four weeks. Travel in July will be truly special. September brings a big sale. A family victory is also your own in January. Libra and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 3, 33 and 18.

12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SO­CIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the en­ergy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkward­ness. Leo’s lesson in social graces can be summed up in three words: Less is more.

Ever the entertainer, Leo doesn’t have to worry about coming across as boring. It’s simply not an option. Leo’s mind gravitates toward a ttention-grab­bing and often provocative topics. Also, Leo has the subconscious agenda of behaving in a manner that others will find memorable if not funny and fascinat­ing. To the lion, laughter and applause are the music of life. Given Leo’s natu­ral inclinations, appropriate socializing includes a great deal of self-control and internal editing.

The wise Leo stays socially in check, realizing the benefit of hold­ing back. Not every story needs an answer story from the personal his­tory archives. Listening is more impor­tant than talking. Holding space and seeming interested can be charming social moves. Being bigger than life can scare people. The party does not always need a star. You don’t have to be a Leo to benefit from the principle of “less is more.” Any sign can play it cool!
