HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, June 16, 2021. You are forever youthful. You are also persuasive! You are a visionary with high ideals who can be restless at times. You have a sharp, critical, incisive mind and you’re witty. This is the time to let go of whatever is no longer relevant in your world. This is not a time of loss. It’s a time of lightening up.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Today you’re energetic and full of ideas! Go ahead and share your thoughts with others because you’re an initiator and you might start something rolling. You also might take a short trip. You will certainly learn something new and possibly meet new faces. Tonight: Surprise with a pet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): As the financial wizard of the zodiac, of course you’re focused on money, earnings and moneymaking ideas. This is a good day to take stock of your assets so you know what you own and what you owe. When it comes to money, information is power. Tonight: Watch your kids.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): You’re vibrant, energetic and enthusiastic!

Take a moment today to alphabetise your blessings, because appreciation is a powerful thing. Tonight: Unexpected company.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): With Venus in your sign, you feel friendly and sociable to others; nevertheless, you’re happy to take a backseat, hide or work alone because you feel comfortable being behind the scenes. Like your symbol the crab, sometimes you’re happy to hide in your shell. Tonight: Unexpected short trip?

LEO (July 23-Aug 22): Enjoy interacting with others and meeting friends and members of groups today because you feel friendly and sociable!

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sept 22): Take advantage of the fact that others are impressed with you now, especially bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs. (It’s smoke and mirrors.) Since this is the case, now is obviously the time for you to make your pitch and go after what you want. Tonight: You’re restless!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You want to feel a sense of excitement and adventure today. You want to shake things up a little! You also will enjoy learning something new that is unusual and fascinating. How can you do this? For starters, do something different! Tonight: Secrets are revealed.

SCORPIO (Oct 23-Nov 21): Lately, you’ve been feeling intense. This means you have been more reactive to others, especially in discussions related to shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt. Suddenly, everything matters! Everything is black and white! This will fade soon. Tonight: A surprising counter.
