Horoscopes: Tuesday, June 16

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
A last minute reprieve takes the pressure off. Either some swift
talking or a guardian angel comes to your rescue, allowing you to
breathe a sigh of relief after tense times. Communication is your
strong suit.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Knee-jerk reactions are ill-advised today. Spontaneous energy causes
you to act first and think later, turning trivial issues into
tragedies. The upside is you can perform on cue when situations call
for it.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You strike out alone and independence pays off. The stars encourage
the setting of new guidelines so that you can operate within your own
space. Innovative ideas pay off during this creative period.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You lose one battle but win another. The secret is to move on
quickly and take second chances in the hope of doing better next time
around. Your tools of trade are tenacity and people skills.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Tackling issues head-on is the way to go. Inspiring energies dare
you to set difficult objectives and then remain confident you can
achieve them. Your determination has a positive effect on other
people.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Despite feeling comfortable in a current position you refuse to
become complacent. The planetary energy promotes variety and
encourages you to experiment rather than putting all your eggs in one
basket.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Your fertile imagination creates new opportunities. There are
professional and personal rewards in store for Librans who want to
turn their ideas into moneymaking ventures. Hobbies are also a
source of potential wealth.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You work harder for less reward. Self-sacrifice comes easy and
personal satisfaction is more alluring than tangible reward at this
time. The desire to help others is strong and you revel in worthy
causes.

SAGITTRIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Your inner reserves of strength are precious. A weighty situation
requires you to dig deep and accept that tough decisions need to be
made. Pride, past experience and personal resolve are your best
assets.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You hit a brick wall but eventually scale it. The Capricorn way is
to chip away patiently at problems until the answers are unearthed
and adversity is overcome. Your quiet strength inspires people.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Play to your strengths and an impasse can be broken. A delicate
situation requires deft handling or a mediator and you are the
perfect person for either job. Life is like a game of chess.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If you object to proposal, speak up. Honest energy provokes frank
responses and any attempt to hide your feelings leads to a build up
of resentment. People are receptive to different opinions and ideas.

YOUR DAY
Take the initiative today. Self-reliant stars favour leaders over
followers in most fields of endeavour. It is also wise to spread
affection around rather than showing bias towards particular people.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
The rhythm of life is harmonious. You feel luckier, more loved or
lighter of heart, in part because of an attitude change. What you
give out in upcoming months is returned tenfold.
