Horoscopes: Friday, June 12

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
The dawning of a new idea is timely. The planets orchestrate a
perfect setting for you to launch a venture or form alliances with
those who share your beliefs. Lateral thinking is your strong suit.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Escapism is on your mind. Airy energy makes you want to run away and
forget those current burning issues. You accept that troubles follow
wherever you go but consider a change of scene refreshing.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)

your boundaries stretch into unusual areas and a vivid imagination
allows you to make the most of one-off opportunities. Chase your
dreams.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You prefer privacy and a minimalist approach. Ruling Moon in the
low-key sector prompts you to streamline events while keeping
thoughts yourself. Limited emotional involvement protects you from
hurt feelings.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
A partnership moves onto an equal footing. Democratic forces change
the dynamics in an alliance and gives you more say in the running of
events. You happily share ideas, revenues and responsibilities at
this time.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Moon in your sector of health and routine encourages a physical
detoxification or environmental de-clutter. Minimalism is the key to
free-flowing energy but discipline is needed in order to achieve
optimum results.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Love and companionship promote good emotional health. Practice give
and take in relationships but make the first move as a gesture of
good faith. Diplomacy is your secret weapon when dealing with other
people.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
A highly evolved sense of right and wrong guides you through choices.
You value principle over profit and loyalty means more to you than
instant gratification. Success is measured by levels of self-worth.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
You capture the essence of charming energy and use it to advantage.
Spreading yourself around is a pleasure not a chore and variety adds
spice to your life. The attention you garner is flattering.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You enjoy the creature comforts. Lunar energy in the material zone
tempts you to indulge and you consider pampering an excellent
investment for mind, body and soul. Also, if you look good, you feel
better.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You rebound from boredom and begin to find your feet. Moon moving
through your sign coincides with personal growth or a breakthrough in
the business area. You cleverly make the most of limited
opportunities.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Talk is cheap and there are limits to how much others want to hear.
Show your worth through actions but bear in mind it takes longer for
the message to sink in. Drop your defences.

YOUR DAY
Moon in rational Aquarius reduces the hyperbole. Emotion is swept
aside and thoughtful decisions are made after consultation with
others. Agreements can be sealed on a handshake or personal pledge.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Practice makes perfect during this patient period. You are happy to
fine-tune a plan before launching it and prefer working in
partnership than taking the solitary path to success.
