Horoscope: June 26, 2016

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



While it’s true, agreeing to certain ideas or offers would considerably improve elements of your life, it would mean substantially altering, if not eliminating, others. Still, your initial impulse may be to battle these changes. Be patient. The more you learn, the more excited you’ll become until, finally, those concerns vanish.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Disheartening as recent setbacks were, they forced you to focus on arrangements that are so much a part of your life you can’t imagine changing them. Yet they’re holding you back. Tempting as it is to hope these issues will blow over, they won’t. Tackle them now. It will be less complicated than you think.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



Nobody would blame you for assuming others know what’s on your mind. You’ve raised certain matters often enough and, equally, have discussed them at length. Yet not everybody will have detected the passion behind your words. Knowing that, revisit these discussions and ensure the strength of your feelings is clear.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



It’s easy to forget that progress, even that which is welcome, means leaving certain elements of the past behind. This isn’t just the case now, worrying as it seems, it’s essential you let go of various longstanding arrangements. Put this off and you’ll both complicate some matters and confuse certain individuals.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Rarely has the planetary setup been more benevolent. Yet despite that, you could unwittingly turn down the stunning ideas or offers coming your way, mostly because they’re unanticipated or beyond your control. Just this once, give in. You’ll soon realise how wise it was to go with the flow.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Yet again you’re facing that difficult balance between focusing on what’s new and interesting and ensuring certain worthwhile elements of your life remain unchanged. At the moment, however, events are actually encouraging you to consider saying farewell to arrangements that were once rewarding but have, over time, become increasingly burdensome.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Setbacks involving practical or financial matters are never fun to deal with. But the influence of the retrograde Mars on this portion of your chart has made for impossible complications. Happily, on the 29th, Mars resumes forward motion, and, as it does, you’ll be able to untangle even very tricky situations.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



The worst thing to tell a Scorpio is “just say yes”. Few concepts go against your grain as a thoughtful, if not somewhat compulsive, individual.  Yet your instincts must be telling you that if you’re to make the best of certain unsettling but intriguing developments, you’ll have to do exactly that.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



You’re battling changes in fundamental elements of your life. These form the foundation that allows you to explore, as you like, and adopt new pursuits in the manner of a fire sign. Yet, once you investigate these changes, you’ll realise they’re eliminating arrangements that, in truth, are holding you back.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



For ages you’ve been struggling to achieve an accord with those closest, but your efforts have been unrewarding. Then, about a week ago, both Venus and the Sun moved into the partnership angle of your chart. Once they’re joined by the communication planet Mercury, on the 29th, those discussions will go brilliantly.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



There’s a fine line between a lively discussion about new ideas and the actual process of weighing up changes about which you have serious doubts. Tempting as it is to treat these as yet another topic to discuss at length, not only would it be unwise, with things moving there’s no time.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



As sympathetic as you are towards those who’re struggling with difficulties, their problems really are theirs to deal with. This includes discussing these, exploring various options and trying to find solutions. If you feel you must talk them through, do so once, then firmly withdraw and focus on your own affairs.
