HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Of all the things you could wish for, an easy route won’t be one of them. It wouldn’t be wrong so much as just offbrand.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): The best things you’ve experienced have happened because you both answered and went above and beyond such a call.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Your soul will be satisfied by what you share and learn, especially when you are connecting with people you don’t yet know well.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Let no one, not even you, offer a limiting idea of what you’re capable of. You don’t know what you can accomplish until you accomplish it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Ignoring a thing on purpose can be an effective tactic. Neglect can be a useful state when applied to unwanted

things.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have paid your dues and done your time. Now, you’re inclined to do it your own way, to show up how you see fit. It works.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Stay aware, head on a swivel, as you make your way to the crossroads. Transitions are always more dangerous.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Like the bees, you will unknowingly cause beauty just by doing what comes naturally.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You’ll apply your talent rather mindlessly, floating above yourself in many ways.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ve already done the “dance like no one is watching” thing and now you’re into the refinement of movement assumed by consummate professionals.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): If the thing taking so many hours weren’t good for your personal development, you wouldn’t feel so compelled to manage it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Some associations (like promptness, honesty, kindness) you have will continue to cultivate rather purposefully by maintaining a high standard of character.

Today’s birthday (June 26): You’re a born leader. You’ll rise above the expectations of you and gracefully manage the responsibilities that befall you this year. Ultimately, the power you gain will be leveraged to do good in the world. Just keep answering the call and know that things will be better because you are humbly, and kindly in charge. Leo and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 3, 20, 13 and 7.
