Horoscope

Aries (March 21-April 19): “I’m going to step in; I’m going to take care,” the second in command will say. But you’re the first in command, and you’ll let everyone else know you’re large, in charge and handling it all.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): How many different ways can you express your love? This will be the question, and you’ll take a very specific (not a scattershot) approach and express it like no one else ever has.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you pass the torch and it’s still burning, it’s the responsibility of the next person to keep it burning still. You’ll be a torch passer, so pick your person well.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The uncanny incidents are just too coincidental for your comfort: Is someone trying to pull one over on you? If so, they picked the wrong mark. Step back and take a long, hard look.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You think it takes a while to know a person? Well, not so much. One look and 15 seconds can do 80 percent of the job. The rest will get done in a few interesting conversations tonight.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every moment is a chance to grow or an opportunity to retreat. What do you think today’s challenge is about? Which way would be more appropriate? How should you fight the good fight?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The in-between spots are the worst. So uncomfortable. You wish you were here or there, but you’re neither and you’re both. Well, at least you’re you, with that pretty smile.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Taking liberties could make you a star or an outcast, depending on the situation. In the case of today, you’ll be driven to a more outrageous choice that could potentially help many while bringing you a glow of fame.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): People sound different when they are under stress or in attraction-mode. Your attention to the subtleties will tip you off as to what is going on with someone close to you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If your day had a mantra, it would be something along the lines of, “Tell me what I don’t already know.” And the good news is you’ll find it — the nugget of information that lights up your brain.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): As far as the people around you go, you may find that it’s harder to organize them to your purposes than you thought it would be. The fact is, no one will know your rhythm until you start banging the drum.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The most romantic people are the ones who feel their emotions keenly. It’s seen as a weakness in some places, a strength in others. So which arena are you in?

Today’s birthday (June 13): Love isn’t fondness, duty or tolerance. Well, it is those things, but not only those things. It’s your time to discover deeper and unexplainable levels of love. The wounds of life allow this. Next month, money will rain down on you — or more likely, come in a fat envelope. August and December feature redemption. Cancer and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 12, 14, 38 and 18.
