Horoscope: June 17, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



Don’t be surprised if somebody lets you down. Judging by the current tricky planetary activity, others have little choice in the matter and, in fact, could be as upset as you are. Knowing that, work together, first, to define the problem and, next, to come up with a solution.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



For weeks you’ve been dealing with intriguing options that would mean reshaping the business or financial side of your life. This was triggered by the Full Moon, which highlighted these matters on 21 May and is likely to be resolved with the second Full Moon accenting these on Monday the 20th.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Few things aggravate a Gemini more than dealing with unimaginative individuals or officials, with their rules and regulations. At moment, there’s no way around either the circumstances in question or the ridiculous restrictions. For now, do as you must. Be patient, eventually you’ll be able to do things your way.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Sometimes obstacles are no more than that. However, those you’re currently facing are alerting you to pivotal questions. Some involve certain arrangements, others the attitude of the individuals involved, a few your own plans or priorities. In every case these will be informative, often about issues you were unaware of.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



What seemed no more than a stumbling block only days ago is swiftly turning into a serious obstacle. Tempting as it is to ignore this in the hope it will work itself out, you’d regret it. Ironically, once you delve into its source and learn more, you’ll realise how crucial this is.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



For months you’ve been trying to get one particular person to lend a hand in certain joint endeavours. Yet they’ve done nothing. The problem isn’t the actual situation but that the individual in question is skilled at making you feel guilty. Now things are so urgent that a confrontation is inevitable.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Sometimes setbacks are no more than that, minor glitches in major plans. Now, however, they’re revealing flaws in your thinking or the way you’ve been approaching long term arrangements. Delve into these now, and you’ll find a solution for those problems, and while you can do so without any drama.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



The time has come to say farewell to certain exciting ideas and, equally, several long cherished arrangements or alliances. This may sound like reason to worry but, rather, you’ve long known something was amiss. Now you’ll find out what. Once those problems are clear, it will be easy to say those goodbyes.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



Since the tough Saturn moved into Sagittarius, late last year, you’ve faced a series of situations and encounters that have forced you to present facts, and with an unaccustomed thoroughness. Once you’d have refused. Since then, however, you’ve realised that often, having those facts in order comes in handy.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



During periods as unsettled as this, the phrase ‘final decision’ doesn’t really apply. Ideally, you’ll regard the simplest of arrangements as tentative, so when things change, as is inevitable, you’ll be prepared. Better yet, this ensures you’ll be free and ready to take advantage of late June’s stunning developments.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



As much as you’d like to sidestep emotional dramas, with the coming Full Moon bringing both feelings and certain already unsettling situations to a head, things are unlikely to go smoothly. Ironically, however, you’ll learn far more from these rather theatrical scenarios  than you do from more civilised discussions.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



There are numerous ways to say the single syllable ‘no’, and as a Pisces, you’re well aware of many of them. You’re an expert at deflecting others’ interest while you think things over. Now, however, that single word needs to ring of conviction or it will be assumed you’re ready for discussion.
