HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Friday, June 19, 2020:

To allow us to focus on reporting the news, some aspects of our paper are purchased from other sources, such as our horoscopes, and are put together a few weeks in advance. Some of the comments in the horoscopes may include suggestions that contradict current health advice to socially distance yourself or self-quarantine. This is because the horoscope predictions were made prior to these health decisions. Over the coming days, you’ll notice that the horoscope tone will change to reflect the current situation. In the meantime, we urge you to follow the advice of public health agencies.

Stimulating and challengeoriented, you push on through the obstacles of this pandemic year. You elicit strong responses from others and must negotiate, even compromise, for a beloved project. You succeed brilliantly, as you almost always do.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19) You will be extremely busy. Also, some romantic opportunities come today, which you should take advantage of. You will not have to go far to attract someone new; it could happen right in your own backyard.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) Disagreements over money matters might arise, but such conflicts should be easily solved. A pay raise is possible. There is a tendency to overspend or otherwise overdo it. Passions run high, although energies are somewhat discordant.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) You will not be shy about opening your mouth today, but avoid power struggles with others. You will get more accomplished behind the scenes, but this aspect can also lead to stress-induced stomach complaints. Rest easy.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) You appreciate some time spent alone in contemplation today, or perhaps just extra sleep or indulgence in hobbies that prove therapeutic for the soul. Resist a tendency to get overly sentimental about the past. You might experience some self-pity.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22) Powerful friends or groups have an extremely strong influence on you and may change your life considerably. Some who have been looking for a financial backer of sorts could find one today.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You certainly will not have time to be bored today. Your only problem will be in biting off more than you can chew, as multiple ideas and plans come to fruition all at once. Your nerves might be frazzled.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You experience a pull between the needs of your boss and domestic crises, but this will soon pass. For those expecting to vacation in July, you might have to cope with news of several minor but perhaps costly annoyances, including possible travel delays.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Be cautious about a new relationship forming now as deception reigns, followed by a possible abrupt parting of the ways. You might be tempted to overspend too. Agitated friends need you as a sounding board.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today brings romantic opportunities, but be sure to think before you act if you are not entirely free to pursue them. Your usual sense of control and discipline might not be operating efficiently these days.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan 19) Something merely rumored could become a solid career opportunity. Today gives you the green light to follow up on those ideas and discussions that have been put on the back burner in the past months.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Creative and inspirational ideas will flow today. Be sure to take advantage of local social opportunities. New romance might come your way. However, give any relationship a little time to prove itself before falling madly in love.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20) Today favors the help or cooperation of an older family member, perhaps a parent. Do not run yourself ragged, or your psychological health could suffer. Find a quiet space for meditation or other calming pursuits (such as sleeping.)
