HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): If you try to do good things then no matter what the outcome, at least you’re spending your time doing something worthwhile.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Is life random or planned? Some doubt the randomness. Others wholly reject it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’re a designer looking for inspiration. You don’t have to set sail to an exotic location to get there.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s a thread running through all of this, although you won’t see it now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The reason things wind up next to each other can be a function of random juxtaposition or the end result of a careful thought process.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Like a slow-loading, videoladen website, if you try too desperately to entertain, people will get bored, and they’ll just leave.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Cages take many forms. Even the most luxurious environments can be a prison if one cannot come and go at will. But you’re not in a cage. What you’re in is a maze.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): There are people whose job it is to search for extraterrestrials in a scientific way. You may relate to them, as you feel as though you’re searching for affirmation.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): The first step to finding someone’s secrets is having your own secrets and an intimate knowledge of the behaviors it takes to hide them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Somewhere out there are glittering skyscrapers and trees and lakes that dazzle like a billion diamonds. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The truth is supposed to keep things simple. But whose truth? The other person isn’t seeing it the way you do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can’t get yourself to change a behavior, that’s because the behavior is actually solving a problem you don’t even realize you have.

Today’s birthday (June 18): Relationships bring out your creativity as they blossom in unexpected ways. You’ll capture someone’s imagination and heart, a responsibility you don’t take lightly. Deft financial maneuvers will improve your situation in this six-week cycle. August brings an adventure you’ll share with loved ones. Capricorn and Aries adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 40, 13, 21 and 5.
