Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday: for Monday, June 26. This year you seem to flow through even the most confusing situations and come out ahead. You are driven and have high energy. Use caution with your spending, as you tend to overspend. If you are single, you could meet someone special at any given point before mid-October. This bond will be significant to your life. If you are attached, the two of you benefit from spending more time together. You and your sweetie often prefer to go off for a few days away from your local turf. LEO is always fun to make plans with. Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★★ You’ll put yourself 100 percent into everything you do,

but your energy might be scattered. The activity around you and your mental responses create a distraction. A loved one will do almost anything to get your attention. Tonight: Follow through on a friend’s suggestion. Taurus (April 20May 20): ★★★ Your preference would be to stay close to home. Why can’t you just take a personal day? Perhaps you feel as if you will miss an important event or moment. Communication will be intense, but you’ll still feel great when you look back on the day. Tonight: Out and about. Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★★★ You would shock others if you didn’t have a comment to make in a discussion. You could feel as if others aren’t

getting your message. However, it is possible that someone else’s message is not being received by you. Try to block certain issues. Tonight: Till the wee hours. Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★ Mars in your sign gives you a strong, impulsive push. You could accomplish a lot by going on a spending spree and/ or getting in a workout. News from a distance might be exciting -- be sure to confirm what you are hearing. Ask appropriate questions. Tonight: Go over your finances first. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): ★★★ Your intuition takes you down a strange path. You might wonder how to approach a touchy matter. Though you could opt not to share everything that is on your mind, you’ll still choose to have a discussion. Your openness breeds more openness. Tonight:

Happiest at home. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★ Pace yourself, knowing that you have a lot to compensate for. Gather more information if you can. Follow your instincts. Trust an opportunity that involves finances. If you don’t take any risks, you have nothing to gain. Be spontaneous. Tonight: Get some extra zzz’s. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):

★★★★ You fully understand the power of positive thinking and probably are using it more and more. Emphasize the longterm implications of this change of attitude. A professional or community project demands a lot of attention, which you try to give. Tonight: Follow the action. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

★★★★ You might want to handle a serious matter at work. Others follow your lead with

ease, even though there might be too much distracting conversation around you. Tap into your creativity more often for answers and/or a more exciting response. Tonight: A must appearance. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★★ You instinctively respond to someone at a distance with a great deal of warmth. A conversation or interaction could be delightful, so much so that you are likely to be planning a get-together with this person in the near future. Tonight: Live in your imagination. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★★★ Understand what is going on with a key person or loved one. A money matter could be at the base of this present hassle. One of you is more comfortable taking risks than the other, hence the different opinions. Follow your sixth sense. Tonight: Spend

time with a favorite person. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★★ You have strong opinions, but knowing when to defer remains critical. Right now, you are able to prevent any hassles with that ability. Use caution around money and how you handle it. You easily could make an error if you are not careful. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★ You accomplish a lot with a great deal of ease. A close loved one comes through for you in a big way. One-on-one relating helps your attitude when dealing with the normal hassles of the day. Your intuition points to a better relationship with a key person. Tonight: Pace yourself.
