Horoscope: Thursday, Jun 25

You might be much more aware of yourself than usual and hyper-alert to every move you make today, especially around others, Aries. You're feeling self-conscious about your words, and you could be constantly wondering if you're saying the right thing to the right person at the right time. Too much self-analysis of could drive you completely insane if you aren't careful. Try not to take everything so seriously.

It seems that whatever you do and however you choose to do it you cannot lose at the moment, which is nice. But don’t stop there. Use that knowledge to inspire you to aim even higher. Reach for the stars and never, ever accept second best.

What you can and must realize now is that you have nothing to prove, either to yourself or to other people. Make sure that what you do over the coming week is what you really want to do, and not just what you think others expect of you.

You are entitled to your opinions and you are entitled to express them in any way you see fit but, of course, not everyone will agree with you. You don’t need other people’s support, still less their praise – you are emotionally and intellectually self sufficient.

It's likely that your thoughts are completely turned to work. Much as you should devote your time off to friends and family, you can't help the way you're wired, Cancer. When at home, you may sneak away to check your email. Perhaps you secretly phone your business partner. Your family rolls their eyes, but generally understands and forgives your crazy behavior. Be sure to turn on the extra charm, just in case!

Cosmic activity in your fellow Fire sign of Sagittarius makes it easy for you to persuade those you live, work and do business with that you know what you are doing and that they should join you in doing it too. You can be so persuasive Leo.

Is it possible for one individual to change the world? Yes, it is, but it becomes so much easier if you join forces with people who share your ideals. Make the planet a better place this week by getting involved in some kind of progressive movement.

You might be frustrated by the fact that people are doing things hastily today, Virgo. You might have to accept the fast-paced energy of the day just so you can keep up. Don't worry if you engage in activities that aren't carefully planned beforehand. You will find spontaneous frivolity to be extremely rewarding on a day like this. Expect the unexpected.

Your creative talents should be operating at an all-time high today, Libra. You might be offered an opportunity to earn some money putting them to use. Your excitement and enthusiasm are likely to ensure that you'll do the best you possibly can and earn a lot of approval from those around you. Your intuition is also operating at a high level, boosting your imagination and relations with others. Enjoy your day!

You have a talent for telling when people are lying to you and you will need it today as more than one individual is trying to mislead you. Let your instincts guide you, even if the “facts” of the situation say something completely different.

Someone you don’t usually get along with will go out of their way to be nice to you today. Should you be suspicious? Maybe, but give them the benefit of the doubt and be nice back at them. It could be their feelings are genuine.

It’s not like you to lack confidence in your own judgment but you seem to be in two minds as to which direction your future should take. Listen to your instincts rather than to what other people tell you. Deep down you already know what you need.

Why are you worrying so much? Why are you so anxious about matters that are beyond your control? They key to tranquility is to let go of your fears and accept whatever comes your way. It’s unlikely to be as bad as you fear.

You will go all out over the next 24 hours to prove you are as good as the next person and better than most. Just make sure you prove it in acceptable ways. If you use underhand methods now you could face a backlash later on.

You may have been held back from doing what most interests you in recent weeks but it’s no big deal. In fact it may even work in your favor in that it has given you a bit of space to plan ahead. Time spent thinking is never time wasted.

Don’t be surprised if your outlook is a bit negative over the next day or two. As the Sun moves out of your fellow Air sign of Gemini today it’s quite natural that you should feel a bit deflated. You’ll be back to your buoyant best soon enough.

Yes, you should let other people have the last word. Yes, you should let other people lead the way. You may not entirely approve of what they say, still less of what they do, but so long as you don’t get the blame why should you worry?

Why are you being kept in the dark? Why will no one tell you what is going on? Whatever the reason there is no need to panic because by this time tomorrow everything will be clear. Whether or not you are pleased about it remains to be seen.
