Horoscope: Wednesday, Jun 25

Today you might want to talk over any plans you have or would like to make with those you live with, Aries. If you live alone, there isn't much chance that your plans will affect anyone, but for those of you cohabiting with others, take time to extend this courtesy. It might be that someone else in the house had some intentions that you weren't aware of, or there may be someone in need of something from you. Talk things over and everything will work out just fine.

There's a great day ahead of you, Taurus. You'll be blessed with the ability to solve problems, and others will come looking for you today. You'll listen, understand, and express empathy. You'll be wise enough to find solutions to any issues they present to you. After a day like this, you might ask yourself if you shouldn't work as a therapist.

Gemini, today you could feel the need to work on your finances - pay bills, make deposits, and plan a budget for next month - but your heart won't be in it. Your mind is probably on more interesting projects. If you try to force it, you'll be unable to concentrate, so it could be a waste of time. It won't hurt if you wait a few days. You should be in a more practical space by then.

Your stress levels have been a bit high of late and you need to find ways to lower the pressure so you can enjoy life again. The best way by far is to take nothing too seriously. Success and failure are two sides of the same human coin.

You may be discouraged about money matters today, Cancer. Perhaps a raise you'd been hoping for didn't come through. Perhaps a professional project didn't work out as you expected. Now is the time to put your ingenuity to work and figure out a way to earn the money you need. Trust that you have the necessary know-how. A good opportunity awaits you.

You know what needs to be done, personally as well as professionally, so get on and do it. The stars indicate this is one of those days when, if you push yourself a bit harder, you will find your second wind and breeze through challenges with ease.

If a friend, relative or work colleague tries to get you to bend rules or cut corners you must let them know that your conscience won’t allow it. You will find it extremely hard to live with yourself if you betray your principles this week.

If you pay attention to what others have to tell you today you will learn something to your considerable advantage. If you take their advice you will find the route you take through the rest of the week much easier than you expected it to be.

You may be of the opinion that the best way to proceed is to tear down everything you have built and start again from scratch, but is that really necessary? Today’s Venus-Mars link warns against impetuous action. Think before you make your move.

You may be anxious about a certain situation but worrying about it won’t make any difference at all, so take control of your feelings and make sure you act only in ways that make a positive result more likely. You can and you will succeed.

Romance is coming your way today as long as you stay levelheaded about the immediate situation, Scorpio. Take care of menial daily tasks and then let your heart soar. You'll find that you have a strong connection to your emotions. Trust your instincts and feel free to let your heart take control. Be realistic about your relationships with others, but push the boundaries once they've been set.

By all means put your own views forward in a forceful way but don’t try to browbeat people into believing what you think is the truth. If your arguments are good enough you won’t need to coerce them, they will follow your lead willingly.

Jupiter, planet of good fortune – and also your ruler – moves into your birth sign today and you could not ask for a better omen for happiness and success. You’ve still got to make an effort, of course, but those efforts will now really pay off.

You need to convince people that you deserve their support and the best way to do that is to show you are capable of supporting yourself. Get on and do what needs to be done and don’t ask for assistance until you absolutely have to.

Add more sunshine to your day, Capricorn. It may be time to stir up your inner passion and let it speak with greater confidence than you have been lately. Make sure you heal yourself by letting the people around you hear your truth loud and clear. Don't play games in order to please others. Stay true to yourself above all else.

Be careful what you ask for over the next few days because with mind planet Mercury joining the Sun in your sign you may get it quicker than you expected. Words can be powerful things, so watch what you say and only say it if you mean it.

Your confidence is fragile at the moment and something you hear over the next 48 hours could upset you a bit. Most likely it is just meaningless gossip, so get a grip and don’t take what you hear to heart. Words cannot hurt you.

You may prefer things to be in their proper place but some people enjoy making a mess. Don’t let it annoy you. Create a space you can call your own and don’t let anyone inside the perimeter. Inside your own little world everything will be perfect.

If you have feelings for someone but they don’t know about it you may be tempted to open up and tell them today. That might be a mistake. Today’s Venus-Mars link suggests the response you get may not be to your liking. Leave it a while.
