Horoscope: June 23, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Ordinarily you’re not only happy to alter arrangements at the last minute, you enjoy the excitement that comes with rethinking things. Yet now you’re uneasy, if not just plain reluctant. This could be due to your ruler Mars’s presence in cautious Cancer, which has an exceptionally painstaking approach to changes.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Initially it may seem the gulf between your views and those of others on one particular matter couldn’t possibly be reconciled. While your concerns are understandable, bide your time. Within days events will force everybody to discuss these issues, and with an eye to finding some form of common ground.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Planning ahead may be wise. However, because you’ll be dealing with the influence of the New Moon, which is about a shift in perspective and in your actual priorities, the more flexible your arrangements and your attitude are, the better. For now, focus on possibilities not organising firm plans.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Sooner or later you’ll need to discuss differences with one particularly tricky individual. While, understandably, you’re hoping these can be ignored, not only is that unwise, the individual in question will undoubtedly find fault in something or somebody, quite possibly you. That alone gives you reason to tackle this right away.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Getting those who’re instinctively contentious to agree to anything wasn’t going to be easy. And, in fact, you’re still struggling to achieve an accord. Take your time. Within days they’ll realise they’re alienating others. This will rouse the self-interested side of their nature and will, in turn, revolutionise their attitude.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



While you’d be justified in blaming others for certain of the complications you’re facing, their intentions were good. And, bizarrely, what you learn in the process of dealing with those issues will prove so helpful that, ultimately, you’ll want to thank the individuals in question for having prompted your investigations.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



In early June the forceful Mars moved to accent the structure of your life. But with this weekend’s New Moon ushering in inspiring ideas, the pace will pick up. Better yet, what arises will be intriguing and could enable you to make long overdue changes, and without the dramas you’ve been dreading.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Your caution when you even mention certain potentially upsetting issues is understandable. Yet with so much moving so swiftly, things are changing and, as a result, these matters need to be raised and discussed frankly. Others know that, and will be grateful you had the courage to bring them up.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Being a fire sign, you have a short attention span, especially when it comes to people or situations you already regard as dull. Yet sudden developments are forcing you to focus on exactly such matters and you’re not thrilled. Despite those feelings, get involved. You’ll soon recognise why they’re worth the bother.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Judging by the tricky planetary activity between now and June’s close, you’re in for a bumpy ride. That is to say, while there’s no need to worry about anything major, minor issues will arise regularly and keep you busy. Knowing that, be prepared to tackle and deal with each as it arises.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Obviously, you don’t want to upset anybody, so are tempted to ignore tricky issues. Actually, you owe it to yourself to take a firm stance on these, however minor they seem. And do it now, while you can without causing too much drama. Delay these discussions and you’ll face serious problems later.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



There are few greater pleasures than organising a surprise treat for somebody you care about. While this is both kind and generous, bear in mind that because you’re in the midst of a complex cycle, sudden changes could complicate even simple arrangements. Knowing that, you’ll want to ensure your plans are simple.
