Horoscopes: Thursday, June 18

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You sense the waiting game is almost over. A sniff of success is
enough to push you towards the finishing line in a faster than usual
pace. Relationships improve as financial pressures start to ease.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Praise comes your way. You have earned the respect or gratitude of
someone and welcome tributes for a job well done. Similarly, you are
quick to applaud others when situations merit a positive response.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Energy and enthusiasm levels soar. You lengthen your step so that
goals can be reached sooner and put non-urgent jobs on hold for the
time being. Lunar energy links you up with influential people.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You kick-start a project and leave the detail to others. Initial
enthusiasm fades quickly and feelings of apathy or impatience tend to
take over. This is why teamwork is so important to success today.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Impressing your peers enhances self-belief. An aura of assurance
hovers over Leos and you become a magnet for attention from
high-ranking colleagues. Soak up your time in the spotlight as fame
is fleeting.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
You choose your words carefully and only trust people with proven
track records. Wily energy advises against blurting out all your
thoughts or entering into situations without knowledge of what lies
ahead.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Doubts about a relationship prove unfounded. Once you raise an issue
and receive reassurance, lost trust or familiarity is quickly
recaptured. A celebratory occasion or good news further lifts your
spirits today.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You need to be proactive rather than projecting blame. Complaints
are counterproductive and do nothing to resolve your problems or win
favours from others. Getting down to business is the secret to
success.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your approach wins people over. The intuitive Moon passaging your
zone of social affairs and personal popularity prompts you to spread
yourself around rather than taking a back seat. There is safety in
numbers today.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Boredom is a state of mind. Look a little deeper and you can find
plenty of projects to fill your day and satisfy urges. You must be a
self-starter and rely less on others for emotional fulfilment.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
You are mentally alert and emotionally aware. There are forces at
work that provide an injection of energy to enhance your
understanding of loved ones and the world around you. Curiosity is
very healthy.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Your spending or saving habits change. Lively forces in the
financial zone take you on a rollercoaster ride of squandering money
one minute and being niggardly the next. Only careful budgeting can
save you.

YOUR DAY
The heat in situations comes courtesy of passionate lunar energy. As
quickly as tempers or arguments flare they subside and generally
there are no hard feelings. Competition is also hot today.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You make the transition from subordinate to superior. A strong sense
of purpose drives you to succeed on all levels but your primary
objectives are security and stability. Hard work pays off.
