Horoscope: June 15, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



It seems somebody’s made a calculated effort to fool you. While you were aware that certain things didn’t make sense, you brushed off those concerns. In actual fact, their aim wasn’t to deceive you. Rather, they were hoping that by ignoring certain facts they wished weren’t true, somehow, magically, they’d change.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20

Although the New Moon took place a few days ago, you’re still unsure whether the ideas proposed then were actually worth pursuing or merely intriguing. The only way to find out is to give them a try. Risky as this seems for you, a cautious earth sign, it’s a risk worth taking.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20

Most Geminis rarely lose their temper, and if so, often those theatrics are more play-acting than genuine anger. Yet at the moment, your ruler Mercury is at odds with the volatile Mars. As a result, your feelings are already heightened, so much you could over-react to issues that, ordinarily, you’d barely notice.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22

Understandably, you’ve been rather hoping that certain potentially explosive matters would resolve themselves. They won’t. But by no means does that mean conflicts are inescapable. Rather, you’ll need to tackle issues one by one, and in a manner that encourages a forthright exchange of ideas but, equally, keeps the peace.

Leo | July 23 – August 22

Allowing those you disagree with to make decisions may seem colossally unwise. Yet it’s probably the best way to avoid lengthy and complicated battles over these matters. Encourage certain individuals to get involved, and they’ll soon realise how wrong they were. Once they do, you can begin realistic discussions.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22

Sidestepping already complicated matters would be difficult at any time. Now, however, the situation is being overshadowed by the clash between your ruler Mercury and temperamental Mars. True, this puts everybody on edge. But, happily, it forces those who’ve previously avoided even acknowledging issues to get involved and discuss them.

Libra | September 23 – October 22

Yet again one particular individual has disappointed you, causing you considerable inconvenience. However, you’re hesitant about commenting or complaining because you assume they’re struggling with something, so must make sudden changes. Do a little investigation. The odds are good you’ll discover they’re both disorganised and taking advantage of your good nature.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21

Although Mercury’s retrograde cycle ended in late May, you’re still dealing with the fallout from the confusion it brings. This is, first, because it accented close alliances, so being in accord is vital. But also, the minor errors typical of this period kicked up matters you’ve been ignoring or were unaware of.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21

Don’t be surprised if, over the coming week or so, you’re disillusioned by certain events or, possibly, individuals. While the source of these problems may vary, the core issue is that because things weren’t adequately discussed when plans were initially organised, there’s confusion now about who’s responsible for what.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19

Few things run counter to your instincts, as a cautious and thorough Capricorn, more than agreeing to a commitment when short of facts. Yet making the best of certain ideas or offers means doing exactly that. The solution? Do what other signs do, make halfway commitments. This leaves you room to negotiate.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17

The last thing you want to do is struggle through the decision-making process in an already complex situation, only to face changes. Judging by the current planetary setup, these aren’t just likely, they’re inevitable. Knowing that, regard whatever you organise as tentative, which means you needn’t bother with burdensome details.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



There is no easy way to say certain things, especially to those who hear only what they want to. Yet if progress is to be made, problems must be discussed frankly and in detail. Don’t give up. The more frequently you raise these, the more swiftly that discussion will take place.
