Horoscope: June 17, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Tempting as it is to say exactly what’s on your mind, the objective being to clear the air, it will only complicate matters. This is primarily because, however sure you are of your facts, with things changing so swiftly, you could be wrong. For now, either avoid commitments or ensure they’re tentative.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Initially you could mistake the irritable mood of one particular individual as something personal, meaning they’re upset with you. Then, gradually, you’ll realise they are like this with everyone and that they are actually struggling with sudden developments and, for reasons of their own, taking their irritation out on others.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Obviously you dislike it when anybody’s heavy-handed in discussions. As a Gemini, you respond best to those who respect your knowledge and experience. Ironically, the individual in question is aware what you know. It’s just their manner. The problem is that they’re brusque, even with those who they care about deeply.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



By now you’ve undoubtedly realised that unsettling as the past week or so has seemed, you haven’t been alone in dealing with these matters. However, while many are still struggling to bring back elements of that past, you’re beginning to recognise that these are no loss. In fact, life’s better without them.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Theoretically, you’re well aware that the arrangements you’re making will mean letting go of certain elements of the past. Yet you haven’t done much about it and, in fact, don’t have a plan. That’s because you’re rather hoping you can keep things as they are. You can try. But you’d soon regret it.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



There’s a fine line between losing a battle, and the realisation that what you were fighting for might not be as worthwhile as you imagined. It would seem either circumstances have changed or, perhaps, certain revelations will force you to rethink your previously very strong convictions about the matters in question.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Nobody likes having to watch over one particular individual because they’re unreliable. Yet you’re dealing with somebody who seems not to notice that this inconveniences others, including you. The fact is, they don’t care. And, no amount of discussion will make them any more aware of the impact of their thoughtless attitude.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



While you can be very forgiving, there is a line that, when crossed, ends the possibility of discussion and, even less, trust. Yet in one particular situation you’ve no choice. You can’t avoid or ignore the individual in question. You can, however, investigate what caused their behaviour. What you learn could change everything.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Recent challenging events called your attention to the need to examine, then deal with, certain increasingly complex, if not worrying, situations. While often matters of this nature work out, you’re aware you’re in a tricky cycle and, because of that, have wisely decided you’re not going to leave anything to chance.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Only days ago, you assumed you’d asked all the necessary questions and reflected on all your options so were ready to make pivotal decisions. But when you began, your plans fell apart, and with shocking swiftness. This had nothing to do with your preparation and everything to do with these changeable times.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Some say that the sooner you tackle problems, the less likely they are to turn into dramas. But in one particular case, you’re already wrestling with dramas, a few worryingly complex. Despite that, discuss these openly with those involved, even if you fear they’ll be upset. If they are, it won’t last for long.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



You’ve been rather hoping you could avoid contentious discussions with somebody who’s already difficult. However, they’re as involved in the arrangement in question as you are. While this means there’s no sidestepping issues, what you learn, about them and the particular circumstances, in the process of dealing with these will be amazingly informative.
