Daily Horoscope for Monday, June 16, 2003

Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping and important decisions until 8:45 PM EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Starting today and for the rest of the year (until mid-December) you might find it hard to get the credit you deserve for the work you are doing. No fair! I agree. But waddyagonnado? Furthermore, this miscarriage of justice can make you downright childish. (Oops.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You're entering a six-month window where relationships with friends and groups are a tad challenging. You can best achieve your goals by working cooperatively with others. The key is to find people with whom you can join forces -- the kind who bring home baking to work.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

It's been a long time since your ambition has been so aroused. You really want to achieve something not just today, not just this month -- but this year! Be careful that you don't encourage conflict with authority figures. (Gemini's are often smarter than their boss.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Life is taking on an exciting turn for you. You feel more adventurous than you have in a long time. Partly, this is because you identify very strongly with your beliefs and your ideas right now. If you can travel -- any time this year -- do it.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might disagree with someone about jointly held resources or a shared debt. Possibly, you're forced to face the fact that others do not share your values about something. (The fools.) Meanwhile, back in the bedroom, your sexual expectations are quite high. Hmmm.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Partnerships and close relationships are a bit touchy. You had better take a look at this because it isn't going to go way. (Groan) This particular challenge will hover all year. Avoid unnecessary conflicts. The On the upside, you have the courage to put your cards on the table.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You're prepared to work hard now and for the rest of the year. Not only that, you'll take considerable pride in how much you can accomplish. Try to find a way to work alone where you don't have to be a team player. That way you'll get credit for what you do.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're filled with strong energies now (and for the months to come) to do your own thing. You're not into self-denial and postponing self-gratification. You want it all, and you want it now. Keep in mind what Bruce's grandmother always said, "Wantin' ain't gettin'."

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Starting today and for the rest of the year, you have to be more patient than usual at home and with family members. (You know who you are.) A number of reasons require this: Renovations and residential changes could create chaos. Then again there's also normal, family insanity.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your whole style is starting to get a bit aggressive. Have you noticed? (Others have.) This is great for teaching, speaking, lecturing, and all aspects of sales. You mean what you say, and you say what you mean. And you mean business for the rest of the year.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

I hope you have a little disposable cash. (Do people still have cookie jars?) You are definitely in the mood to spend money now. Fortunately, you're also in the mood to make it. There's lots of beautiful things out there with your name on them. (sigh)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Traditionally, Mars stays in each sign for about seven weeks. (Give or take a few spats.) For some reason (hey, I'm only a map reader) Mars is in Pisces for the rest of the year! Go figure. It's a great time to exercise and buff that bod. You have tons of energy to burn.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Nobel Prize-wining geneticist Barbara McClintock (b. 1902) shares your birthday. You are intelligent and shrewd. You are willing to pay your dues to learn something before you start. You know how to invest in your future. Be prepared to say goodbye to some things to create room for new things to enter your life next year.
