Horoscope: June 8, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



While there’s no denying that with several planets, including your ruler Mars, moving into new positions this week, big things are happening, organising lasting plans is another matter. With so much in transition, you’re better off regarding arrangements as tentative. You’ll finalise things, but probably not until late June.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Last week your ruler Venus formed a powerful alliance with practical Saturn then encountered inventive Uranus, both of which point to dramatic changes. Although these are both clear and swift, others are just beginning to unfold. Don’t be surprised if you discover they’re taking you into new, unexpected and exciting territory.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



As much as you enjoy talking things over with others, you’re urged to be cautious who you speak to and what you say. That may sound a bit paranoid, but with so much in transition, certain individuals are turning what are no more than minor issues into major dramas, mostly for their own amusement.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Every Full Moon brings feelings to a head, as you well know. It’s just with the actual situation as unpredictable as circumstances are fraught, you can’t see a way out. There is, but it’s about dealing with each in the minute, and hour, as they arise. Do that and soon all those difficulties will be history.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



It would be no surprise if the sunny Leo side of your nature vanishes temporarily. There’s nothing wrong. Rather, you’re contending with the emotional ups and downs triggered by the Full Moon, combined with tricky planetary activity. Intense as this seems at the moment, it will vanish as swiftly as it appeared.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Your willingness to fight for what, and who, you believe in is a virtue. But you could easily mistake the unsettling events currently taking place, and the complaints of others, as problems to be dealt with. On the contrary, disruptive as these changes may be, they’re timely, if not long overdue.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Although you’re by no means a control freak, you’re not thrilled that crucial decisions are entirely in the hands of others. Since these can’t be changed, at least right now, focus your attention on those rather dull but important matters you’ve been ignoring. Getting these dealt with will be a huge relief.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Thrilling as future plans are, timing is tricky. While, obviously, others are eager to discuss the ideas you’re proposing, the odds are good you’ll run into a series of obstacles. These will be worrying but they’ll pass. However, that may not be until late June, which means you’ve no choice but to be patient.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



While this is probably the last thing you feel like doing, the time has come to declutter your life, your possessions, your thinking and even your passions. Begin by noting what you’re thinking about, then consider whether it really matters. If it doesn’t, then say farewell to it, then and there.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Being a practical earth sign, when you’re anxious, you can usually figure out why. But now you’re not only unsure, the feelings you’re experiencing are worryingly intense. These, which are linked to the current emotionally powerful Full Moon, are worth investigating, but will probably vanish as swiftly as they arose.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Only days ago, you made an arrangement which didn’t just solve certain persistent problems, because others understood the issues in question, there was no need for lengthy discussion. You’re now recognising that you were overly optimistic. The fact is, you’ll need to talk things through, soon and in great detail.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



As a sensitive Piscean, you’re aware that having the last word in an argument may boost your ego, but others will still have their say. Yet one particular situation is so irritating you’re on edge. Tell the individual involved exactly that. The resulting discussion will be both frank and deeply touching.
