Horoscope: June 12, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



The irritating, and rather bizarre, facts behind certain problems are only now surfacing. While, usually, you’re too busy getting things done to indulge in such detective work, you’ve been obsessed with figuring out why certain arrangements went wrong. Now, suddenly, you will. And what you learn will shock and surprise you.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Only days ago you were complaining about arrangements that once were rewarding but which recently have been both costly and tedious. But you haven’t had any options to suggest. Now events are doing the job for you, or at least they’re introducing you to ideas worth considering. At minimum explore these.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Usually you don’t mind leaving issues unresolved. You feel that if there’s no obvious solution, both discussions and decisions are best put off. Not only that, if the recent New Moon and its accompanying insights offered nothing promising, the odds are good you’ll need to talk these over in detail.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Mars, the planet of action, energy and courage, is currently focusing on what and who you enjoy most in life, and indicates it’s time to pursue whatever you desire. There are all sorts of reasons to wait. But, on the other hand, Mars won’t be in this part of your chart forever.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



On the 20th your ruler the Sun begins its annual stay in the most reflective portion of your chart. During this four week long cycle, you’ll be given reason to consider what’s been behind certain persistent issues and, even more important, begin to discuss and explore ways to deal with them.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Every once in a while differences are so intense there’s no chance of civilised discussions with others. Since that seems to be the case in one particular situation, for the moment you’re encouraged to agree to disagree. That may seem weak but, actually, it gives you more control than you think.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



By no means are you narrow-minded. Yet you’ve been ignoring certain new ideas or options, mostly because you fear exploring them will lead to disruptive changes. They might. However, these changes aren’t just timely, sticking with familiar arrangements may be reassuring, but doing so is also holding you back.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



The time has come to do your sums. By that is meant you’ll need to focus on certain financial matters. But, even more, it’s vital you review the time you invest in both existing arrangements and those that involve future plans, versus the rewards they’d offer, in material terms or otherwise.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Feeling undecided about certain matters? That’s no surprise. However, you may not have the facts or the clarity of mind necessary to deal with these or future plans until after the rare second Sagittarius Full Moon, on the 20th. Until then, make a point of learning more about your options.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Obviously, being let down by somebody you thought would be reliable is annoying. But also, you’ve always regarded yourself as a good judge of such matters, and this is making you review your capacity for assessment. Don’t worry. The individual in question is skilled at, and actually enjoys, deceiving others.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



The ability to refuse, and in a clear, uncompromising manner is an art. But one particular individual hears what they want to, which means that despite the clarity of your words, they’re still convinced you’re happy with their plans. Discuss your views again, being firm with them, if not downright rude.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



It would be no surprise if you haven’t already had hints of the disillusioning situations promised by the tough Saturn’s clash with your ruler Neptune on the 18th. While that’s nearly a week away, you’re already questioning certain of these. These events give you good reason to investigate in depth.
