horoscope

(June 27 Wednesday)

The partner-oriented Libra moon has a folksy suggestion straight from the 1955 songbook of songwriting duo Sy Miller and Jill Jackson: “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me.” Miller and Jackson, who happened to be husband and wife, remind us that world peace begins with your nearest and dearest.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll

have luck in group endeavors and highly structured arrangements. You’ll be able to apply what you learn almost immediately. You’ll unknowingly exert

your influence on those with whom you

come into casual contact.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being a trusted friend sometimes means you have to warn the one who is getting off track. You’ll do what’s right and necessary. It may be years before this is properly appreciated.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your role as the friendly one who brings people together will be highlighted.

Avoid elitism in any form. In social arenas, break up the cliques by talking to outsiders.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Complex issues arise, and the easy answers won’t feel correct to you. Writing about what you believe and why is one way to steel your discipline and crystallize your wisdom.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a busy day of giving ahead of you. When you tire of taking care of others, you’ll hardly have the energy to take care of yourself. That’s when sleep is the best thing you can do.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). An indirectly competitive atmosphere prevails around you, and you’ll notice people competing with one another by keeping score of their children’s successes or the successes of their friends, family, company or even their pets.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re through researching, wondering and asking questions. It’s time to make a firm decision. The ambivalence has to go if you’re to move forward quickly and with a smile on your face.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Some of your most cherished beliefs are either unproved or can’t be proved. That you still hold them dear is a tribute to the quirkiness of your delightfully complex personality.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). We are designed to gather meaning from experience. Sometimes we perceive patterns of cause and effect where there are none. Give your mind a break. Stop searching for answers and just let it be.

CAPRICORN ( Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your mood alternates. At times you’ll

be an open book, accessible to all who care to investigate. Other times you’ll snap shut, guarding your mysteries inside.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You direct a certain longing to the heavens. Your need to reach upward is primal. It’s inside every infant reaching for mother; it’s in the limestone blocks of the pyramids and the jet fuel of rocket ships.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Complex problems can have simple solutions. But before you try to find one, first assess whether the problem is really yours to solve. You wouldn’t want a loved one to miss the chance to handle his or her own life.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 27). You’ll advance a variety of interests this year as you systematically work your way through books, workshops and classes on the subjects that interest you. Acquiring knowledge leads to new friendships, jobs and adventures. September makes love your main focus. December brings family additions. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 1, 24, 39 and 18.

ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “What does it look like for a Pisces with an Aquarius moon and a Pisces with an Aries moon?”

It’s a fabulous match. There’s a harmony between you that is too profound to take lightly. Sometimes it even scares you. It’s hard to imagine your independence melting into this new way of operating in the world as a twosome. Keep in mind that this doesn’t have to be all or nothing, and in fact, if you give it a

chance, you’ll find that you feel stronger and more independent knowing you’re

part of a team. The most significant tie you share is a belief in one another’s creative potential and a way of backing up that belief with solid support. You each have a different way of channeling the innate Pisces psychic talents. In your case, the disciplines of metaphysics may fascinate you, and you actually try to develop psychic skills. He is much more inclined to rely on hunches,

first impressions and sudden insights, which are often eerily accurate. Be sure that you give him as much tender loving care as he requires to keep his

fiery emotional nature fueled. You can accomplish a great deal together and enjoy many exciting facets of a varied and interesting shared life.
