horoscope
(June 12 Tuesday)
Many scientists now believe in the existence, and perhaps abundance, of rogue planets wandering the galaxy unbound by parent stars. The independent Aries moon and a lingering square of Mercury and rebellious Uranus remind us how liberating it can be to break away from our usual orbits and head toward unknown constellations.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The day unfolds at an excited pace. And though the lively feeling is exhilarating, you also are determined to move slowly and steadily along so you can savor each task and stay on purpose.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today, it’s better to deal with people who are not like you, as homogeny robs you of perspective. Those who have had fewer opportunities will help you to be grateful for all the resources you have.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you
dare to follow your creative spirit, it will lead you to the most unlikely places. You’re not the only one developing a fascination for what is novel, oddball or just plain weird.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Success is not a meal to be gobbled up alone. It’s a banquet to be savored among guests. Invite others to share in the bounty you’ve acquired, because more is on the way.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can afford to be somewhat whimsical with your choices, and you’ll enjoy the day a whole lot more if you are! Take a gamble. Win or lose, it won’t be held against you.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Deal with life’s actual events instead of stressing about the possible scenarios that might happen. All you can do now is handle today’s work and trust in the spirit of goodness that guides your tomorrows.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You cherish your friendships not only in your heart, but also through your deeds. Stay on the lookout for ways to lift and empower your loved ones, because prime opportunities and ideas will cross your path.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It used to be that people believed the answers were blowing in the wind. Some believe that the answers are now trending on Twitter or YouTube. Just to be safe, check everywhere.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you share your honest appraisal of a situation, you do more good than you could possibly know. However, this is only the case if it’s your job to share the opinion or if you were asked to do so.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The general consensus may be generally
erroneous. But you’ll make a decision
based on your gut response to what’s happening, unfazed as to the popularity of the choice.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Not everyone wants to be famous. You’re proof of that now because you’d rather lock your information in a safe than put it out there for the whole world to electronically stumble upon.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to struggle against your desire. Instead, embrace it. It’s not a foreign entity visiting to annoy you. Desire
comes from your heart, and it has something to teach you.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12).
Your kindness will inspire tolerance in
others. World peace may just start with you. In June, you’ll collect the tools that will liberate you in your professional life. July brings a romantic connection that ignites your creativity. October is your chance to move or renovate. December brings the funny story you’ll be telling for years. Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 22, 49 and 32.
12 ASTRO-REMEDIES FOR SOCIAL AWKWARDNESS: Inside the energy of each sign is a lesson that can be applied to remedy social awkwardness. Cancer offers up the notion that social graces start at home.
Ideally, everyone would be taught a degree of manners that could afford comfort in a variety of scenarios: at a cocktail party, meeting VIPs, attending a public event, a job interview, etc. Realistically, most people are taught manners that apply to the scenarios their parents have encountered. Anything outside the familiar realm has the potential to set off internal alarms. If those kinds of bells are ringing, Cancer has a remedy.
The lesson of Cancer is never to discount what you know. Only a fool rejects roots. Accepting and loving where you came from is essential to feeling comfortable in the world. Some find it easy to find loveable qualities in their home of origin, and others associate nothing but pain and awkwardness with their background. But even the worst scenario has benefits. Maybe it contributed to a fighting, surviving and independent spirit, or maybe it’s simply a shining example of what not to do. Cancer energy teaches that home is home for a reason. Embrace it.
