Horoscope: Tuesday, Jun 18

Something of a personal nature that you wanted to keep hidden will become public knowledge this week. There is no point trying to deny it is true, so you might as well own up and admit that, yes, you are responsible. It’s not such a big deal.

Yes, you were right and everyone else was wrong and what happens today will confirm that fact. Will you gloat about it? Of course you will and quite right too. You don’t have to be modest – you’re brilliant and others need to know about it.

You cannot and will not change the opinions of someone who is every bit as stubborn as you are. The only sensible course of action is to accept that different people see the world through different eyes – it does not mean you have to be enemies.

The astral energy is encouraging you to open up more to your world, culture, and ways of thinking, Taurus. You don't have to go off alone in the desert to reinvent everything. For you, this would be the easy way out, because it would allow you to hide! Develop your curiosity about what exists in this society. Your opinion will carry weight later on.

The planets suggest you have nothing to fear and everything to look forward to and the more you keep reminding yourself of that fact the more likely it is to sink into your subconscious mind and become a permanent part of you.

No matter how hard you try to explain yourself over the next 24 hours the words won’t come out the way you intended and others will think you are trying to hide something. Of course you are – you’re a Gemini and have secrets aplenty.

Have you been waiting for a letter or call from a business or romantic partner for a long time, Cancer? If so, you will probably receive it today. Don't be surprised if it's long! News and useful information could be exchanged. You will feel energized and determined once the communication is completed. The partnership's future goals will be more strictly defined as a result.

You will be put to the test in some way or other between now and the weekend, so stay alert and be ready to move fast both physically and mentally. Don’t back down if a rival is bigger than you – you’ve got what it takes to compete.

Yes, Virgo, this is a good moment to abandon old beliefs and moral values. Your view of life has changed and, above all, you're more aware of how your outdated, preconceived ideas sometimes poison your life. The past no longer concerns you. It's time for you to make a clean break from the beliefs that are holding you back. You might shock your family, but they'll get over it.

Remember that the important thing isn't necessarily what you're doing but the people you're with, Libra. There's a great deal of passion in the air today that you can latch onto and put to good use. Have fun and remember to smile. You can make a great deal of progress toward your goals as long as you stay motivated. Connect with others and feel the strength of shared resources.

You will move up in the estimation of employers and other important people over the next week or so and if you have designs on a particular job then you must speak up. If it’s in their power to promote you they most likely will.

Don't let fear of failure or fear of success hold you back, Scorpio. Even though you may feel a natural tendency to want to shrink into the background and take the easiest route, you might be sacrificing your true purpose when you do. Become the leader instead of following the leader. Rid yourself of all fear and take control of your destiny.

By all means make plans as the new week begins but be ready to change them in the light of new information. One of the positive things about your sign is that you know how to be flexible, so stay loose and take events as they come.

If you find yourself in a slump today, Capricorn, don't worry. It could be that nothing fits right or that a certain nervous, restless energy urges you to take action but uncertainty prevents you from knowing which way to turn. This combination could result in a locked-up feeling that keeps you incapable of any movement at all.

Letters, phone calls, or emails from afar could put you in touch with new, interesting people. These people could well bring some fascinating ideas your way, Aquarius. Shared knowledge can lead to mutual advancement on material and spiritual levels. This process just might turn a casual acquaintance into a firm friend. Expect a lot of contact with these people for a long time to come. Enjoy your day.

You have a lot of work to get through over the next 48 hours and you won’t have time to hang back while others try to keep up with you. There are times when you have to look out for your own interests and this is one of them.

The influence of Venus, planet of attraction, in your chart means others will be looking at you through the eyes of love and will do almost anything you ask of them. Decide what it is you desire, then get them to bring it to you.
