YOUR horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 15, 2017:

This year you might be more focused on your image, community presence and/or career. You want to make an impression in every single way. Be sensitive to your audience. If you are single, consider being as authentic as you can be. You are likely to meet someone significant at any given time. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy many happy times together. Your biggest squabble will be over money. Consider keeping separate checking accounts. PISCES trusts his or her intuition more than you trust yours.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Your mind seems to be focused on everything except what is happening right around you. A subtle jab from a friend might jolt you and bring you back to the here and now. Don’t let yourself be challenged by some confusing communication. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Zero in on what is important to you. A financial matter could be of major importance. Know that some dissension is OK, as it forces you to rethink your logic and understand the other party’s. Questioning conclusions will bring better results. Tonight: Where the action is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Take the lead on a major project. Others respect your ability to pick up information and present what you have gathered. An associate might be more challenging than you had anticipated. Fatigue could be a major player in this situation.

Tonight: In the limelight.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Gain a new perspective of what is going on around you. You might sense some type of surprise or an element of the unknown. Fatigue could have an impact on an associate and how you deal with him or her. Be aware of others’ needs. Tonight: Read between the lines.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

You could be out of sorts when dealing with a new friend. Try to neutralize your energy and gain a better understanding of where this person is coming from. You have been swallowing a lot of anger, which can pop up at any given moment. Tonight: Go along with someone else’s choice.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could feel challenged by others; you might be surprised by what they share and by the words that they choose. A close friend or family member seems withdrawn and uptight. Listen carefully to what this person has to say. Tonight: At a favorite place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You know when to stop and change direction. Others might be acting in the most unexpected way. These instances of unusual behavior seem to surprise you each time they occur, but they are happening more and more regularly. Tonight: Return calls and emails first.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Follow your instincts. You’ll be more pleased if you allow your intuitive side to dominate. You are likely to discover areas of your life where you might want to be a little less logical and a little more spontaneous. Listen to a few different perspectives. Tonight: Follow the music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

When you greet someone with a big smile, more often than not, the same is returned. Though you might be negative about a certain situation, you’ll try to loosen up and be more upbeat. Doing so could change the scenario completely. Tonight: Homeward bound.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You hear news that could force you to stop and think. You obviously did not count on this event occurring. Was there a miscalculation in your thinking? Remember that hindsight is 20/20, but you can prevent this type of problem if you see the indicators. Tonight: Visit with friends.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

An unexpected yet exciting tone seems to flow through your day. A casual get-together could transform into a fun event. Try to reduce some of your stress by going on a long walk or by heading to the gym for some exercise. Tonight: Balance your checkbook first.

PISCES (Feb.19-March 20)

You have a lot of ground to cover. A child or new friend could disrupt your schedule, but only because you want to give this person some extra time. A boss might assume that you are not giving a workrelated matter enough time. Be careful. Tonight: All smiles. You call the shots.
