HOROSCOPE

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.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22) Your perpetually active inner life becomes more colorful and vivid, while you shun fanfare outwardly. It will surprise you if friends and relatives born under air signs accuse you of withholding information.
