Horoscopes: Thursday, June 11

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
It takes two to argue a point. Moon at the peak makes you apt to
goad others and raise contentious issues at inappropriate times. You
meet your match in someone who loves having the last word.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Once on a roll you should keep the momentum going. A new window of
opportunity opens and it is important to cash in quickly. Use
initiative to find short cuts, maintain interest and engage others.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You take small steps and set manageable goals. Patient planets force
you to forget big picture issues and focus on the mundane matters of
daily life. Living in the moment works to your advantage.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You speak from the heart and others listen. Allow time for the full
impact of your messages to hit home but take comfort in the fact
positive change is underway. A peaceful atmosphere soothes your soul.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You prefer to wrap up one job before starting another. Moon in the
zone of routine discourages multi-tasking and confirms the need for
attention to detail. Work at your own pace but aim for perfection.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Charm is your secret weapon but you must use it sparingly. Remain
conscious of your audience at all times and direct comments in such a
way that everyone believes you are talking exclusively to them.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your radar fails and targets are missed today. Lunar energy at the
base of your chart renders you sightless in certain situations,
making it easier for others to pull the wool over your eyes.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You remain tight-lipped about confidential issues. The lunar energy
reinforces your characteristics of loyalty and secrecy, and
relationships thrive as a result. Differences are resolved through
quiet compliance and calm discussion.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Singing your own praises is totally acceptable. Self-promotion is
one of the secrets to success but you must use spin in your campaign
to convince others. Material matters tend to dominate your thoughts.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
The differences between you and someone else are subtle but
noticeable. You work on compromise solutions but occasionally fall
short of pleasing the other party. Good negotiating skills are
invaluable right now.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
A plan already in the pipeline needs some tweaking. Wholesale
changes are ill-advised but a nip and tuck should do the trick.
Enlist the help of an experienced associate or specialist in the
field.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If the grass looks greener, consider crossing over. Pushy planets
prompt you to buck the prevailing trend and swap allegiances or
ideologies for a refreshing change. You can confidently experiment
with new ideas.

YOUR DAY
Assertiveness is the key to success. Provided you have all the facts
and figures on hand, pushing the point home brings instant rewards.
Less consultation and greater autonomy is favoured in most situations.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You shake off the blues and burdens to make a fresh start. Jupiter
in the expansion zone is now your lucky charm and barometer for
success. Spread your wings and think outside the square.
