Horoscope: June 20

Aries (March 21-April 19): You could get a cancelation that frees you up. You’ll like your life more when you leave time to goof off.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll get to demonstrate how responsible you are. The positive reception you get will feel good, but not as good as the self-respect you get from a job well done.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When the creative inspiration strikes, you strike back in a most unique way. You are playing a magical game with the muses; that is why they favor you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Sometimes your people lean on you to such a degree that you feel like you’re doing all the work. Do less, and they’ll kick in with more help.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your secrets are safe with you. Not so much with your friends. This is no time to spill anecdotes of your inner world, not even those that seem silly and harmless.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Support your friends by attending their gatherings and contributing to the conversation. You might have to do research to find appropriate conversational fodder.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You keep comparing yourself to people who are much more experienced than you. Stop the comparisons and just do your best.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’re likely to go on a wild goose chase. Are you better for the quest? It may not feel like it, but now at least you know which avenues not to turn down next time.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You can do only what you can, and that is enough. You won’t believe it, and you’ll be tempted to tire yourself out trying to push harder than is necessary.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’re probably unsure about the best next move. And here’s something else to think about: There’s someone out there who would feel honored to be your mentor.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your next move will be a strategic one. Doing the right thing will save you from awkwardness and pain in the future.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Asking yourself to do too much at once is mean. You wouldn’t do it to a child or a full-grown loved one. And right now you’re a bit fragile.

Today’s birthday (June 20): Your new year is marked by a powerful inner confidence. You no longer feel you need validation from outside sources, and, ironically, praise and appreciation are lavished on you over the next 10 weeks. Your lucky numbers are 9, 35, 29, 31 and 15.
