Horoscope: June 13

Aries (March 21-April 19): The fires of passion can warm you, or they can burn you. Recognize the energy you’re dealing with, and proceed with care, caution and respect.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You yearn for a world you can control totally. You’ll be drawn to the imaginary places in books, art, games and other entertainment.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll be put in charge of something others are afraid to take on. You’ll be well suited for this task, and once you complete it, others will understand more and be less fearful.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your sense of timing is different from those around you. Because you’re moving at a different rate, you can weave in and out of the action as needed.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Being great at what you do takes time. You’re not going to make it happen all in one day. But if you practice, you will get there eventually. Be patient and persistent.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Thinking too much makes you feel old and worried. Each moment is brand-new. Focus on the present. That’s the true fountain of youth — being with the eternal now.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll be a matchmaker without even trying. Your direct and indirect efforts will connect people who will be very happy together.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): As long as you’re going for a prize, you may as well work toward the biggest one there.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Loved ones pull you close. They need your affection, and it’s nice to be needed. You’ll want some alone time too, to set yourself up for a busy week ahead.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): The pressure of situations is sometimes hidden. Be compassionate with yourself and others.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tonight you will be willing to work hard and late on something because it means so much to you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You wish you could do it all, but the things you will choose are the most important. Keep it simple. You won’t regret it.

Today’s birthday (June 13): The sweetest rewards go to those who work the hardest for them. You will be in fine form as you put yourself to the test over the next 10 weeks. In October, things get more challenging, and you are stronger, too. Guard against discouragement and pessimism, and you will ultimately prevail. Loved ones celebrate you in November. There’s a windfall in March. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 25, 1, 35 and 18.
