HOROSCOPE

FOR FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 2021:

As we gear up for the weekend, we’re in the mood to finish out the week strong. Work and responsibilities take top priority today as we’re called to tie up loose ends. There could be a touch of melancholy in the air though, which suggests that we’ll need to go easy on ourselves. We also might need to apply some gentleness or healthy boundary setting in dealing with others too. Setting time aside for activities that soothe the body and soul is encouraged.
