Horoscopes: 17 June 2014

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
As an Aries you’re learning the lesson of having to chose your battles; knowing how easy it is to get drawn into arguments with your combative spirit, yet some things are just not worth the aggro. What matters most is close to your heart and home.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
They say ‘You can’t please all the people all the time, but you can please some of the people, some of the time’ and yet, you know you’ve come as close as humanly possible to keeping everyone happy. As the week progresses, you also get better at pleasing yourself.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Sure, self-doubt is held in little esteem amongst the psycho-babbling community of self-help gurus. However, thinking twice, reviewing a situation or a strongly held belief can have major benefits. Where would science be if it never did a double take?

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
Being one of the most tenacious signs you’re undeterred by things that put most people off. If you want to push through you may need more rest. Stop nursing that grudge, it’s growing into the kind of monster that will wind up destroying you. Set your soul free and come back to the light.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
You get a bold and swift shift in mental activity around the cazimi on June 19. Your phone will be off the hook and if you’re smart, you’ll use that time to network with like-minded people, not argue with those who aren’t interested in your point of view.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
When smooth talking Mercury makes a conjunction with the sun at the top of your chart, that’s known as cazimi, which is thought to have great influence with people in power. You may find out that you have an incredible influence now or that, someone is more persuasive than usual.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
As combative Mars is making an applying aspect to rebellious Uranus, it’s not going to be easy to take criticism or feedback on the chin. The balance of power shifts in your favour by the end of the week.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
The problem with being paranoid, is that the cleverer you are, the easier it is to find reasons why your suspicions are correct. Yet, if you were to just feel a little differently, one may find the opposite is absolutely true. You can find peace and truth if you keep calm and positive.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
Stop putting off that important discussion regarding a partnership of shared interests. What matters now is that you allow yourself to move forward creatively, romantically or experimentally. Holding on too tightly to outmoded beliefs about yourself could be limiting.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
Health and/or work matters may be keeping you duty bound. That can all change as Venus helps you get into a groove that suits you. Reforming your domestic situation may feel unsettling but could be very good for you.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
Being a bossy boots is all very well and good, if all you care about is getting what you want and being heard. Just remember that people will hear you more when you are doing the listening not the barking. Even if you’re right, don’t neglect the importance of nurturing good relations…

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
Is there any point arguing over joint resources? If there wasn’t I’m sure many wars could be stopped. Learning how to share isn’t easy when we feel our identity is at stake. Pooling resources makes everyone a winner.
