HOROSCOPE

gemini (May 21 – June 20)

This is a great month to shop for clothes because the Sun and Venus are both in your sign, which means you will instinctively know what flatters you. You’re also keen to work hard because Mars is in your job sector. Continue to be patient with partners and close friends. Remember that real-estate deals still favour you.

virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

This is the best month all year for you to receive accolades from bosses and VIP s. People in power are impressed with you. And, with lucky Jupiter bringing you good fortune in everything you do, who’s surprised? You are strong, convincing and persuasive right now. You know what you want, and you intend to get it. Demand the advantage!

sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21)

Fact: You will need more sleep and rest this month. A strong focus on partnerships and close friendships will blossom in a lovely, rewarding way. This is because you find it easy to express your affection for others. If you’re in conflict with someone, this is an excellent time to make peace. Everything is cozy and solid.

pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20)

Like Aquarius, you feel two contradictory influences this month. One encourages you to hunker down at home—you want to relax with family, redecorate and entertain. However, another urges you to travel and broaden your horizons. Fortunately, you can handle this balancing act because Pisces rules the feet, and you can dance.

cancer (June 21 – July 22)

This month, some of you are involved in secret love affairs because romance, pleasure, sports events, social diversions and vacations abound with opportunities. However, you are also advised to seek some downtime to ponder what your new year (birthday to birthday) will be all about because your personal year is now coming to an end.

libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22)

This month, your sense of adventure is strong, which is why you want to travel and expand your horizons. If you can’t travel, take a course or try to meet people from different backgrounds— shake things up a bit. Be a tourist in your own city. Use your possessions to help you get work done because your assets can help you now.

capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19)

This is an energetic, active month. You want to get better organized and feel that you are on top of your scene. In addition, you will schmooze more with friends and other groups. In fact, some of you are in competition with someone through physical sports or political jockeying. It’s a busy time. Remember to stand tall.

aries (March 21 – April 19)

This is a fast-paced, fun-loving month for Aries. Short trips, visits and the accelerated pace perfectly suit your highflying Aries energy. Relationships with neighbours and siblings are positive. It’s a strong month for writers, actors, teachers and salespeople. Oh, and your sex drive is amped and you’re raring to go! Get out there and fly your colours.

leo (July 23 – Aug. 22)

Go do that voodoo you do so well because this is a popular month for Leos. It’s party city! Enjoy vacations, sports events, playful times with children and the arts. Friendships will be important this month, along with your interaction with clubs, groups and associations. A friend could become a lover. All friendships will deepen.

scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21)

This is a passionate, intense month because of the placement of the Sun, Venus and Mars. A triple whammy! Many of you have lots of energy that wants to be expressed sexually. Since this energy is building up, exercise and gym workouts are also outlets. (But sex is more fun.) Meanwhile, gifts, goodies and mucho pleasure come your way.

aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18)

Two influences are at play this month: One wants you to party, take vacations, explore the arts and enjoy romantic adventures; the other fires up your ambition to succeed in your career. This works fine for those who work in the arts or the entertainment world; however, many will feel that work and play are competing for time. Busy you!

taurus (April 20 – May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac. That’s why June is an important month for you: Both of your Money houses are highlighted. Look for ways to boost your income; you might also check out a new job or source of earnings. Meanwhile, enjoy shopping for beautiful things, while financial speculation and vacations are on your mind. n
