HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, June 18, 2022. There’s a heaviness in the air today that will be hard to shake, as many of us will be feeling some level of discontent or more stress than usual. There could be problems that arise with our finances, resources or quality of life. Difficulties in relating to or getting along with others also will be an issue today. It might be best for everyone to go to their separate corners, cool off for a bit and try to reconnect later. Meanwhile, we can expect unavoidable commitments or concerns to crop up that will be best to handle directly.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) — Can you find common ground with someone today instead of closing yourself off and refusing to compromise or play fair? Try being a little more flexible.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) — If you’re waiting for someone else to sing your praises or give you validation today, you might be waiting a long time. Be your own cheerleader.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) — If there’s something weighing on your heart or your mind, don’t keep it to yourself. Share it with pride and confidence.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) — Try not to be too critical of others today. Extend some compassion or grace.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) — You’re thinking about a current commitment or partnership. How does it fit into your goals? If it doesn’t fit, perhaps it’s time to plan your exit.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) — You can’t always be right. Being open to learn and make mistakes is the sign of a true leader or wise person.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) — A love connection might not be all it was cracked up to be. Don’t get discouraged. Too, don’t shy away from being straightforward or authentic.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) — It might be necessary to establish boundaries with someone today. Try not to feel bad about it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) — Don’t be resistant to getting the assistance or helping hands that you need. Sometimes the power of many is more efficient than the power of one.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) — A money matter might dampen your fun. If you’re job-hunting or thinking about requesting a pay increase, the timing is right.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) — Some friction with a family member or roommate can be expected. Be mindful of being too accommodating. Your happiness is also important.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20) — You’re in no mood to socialise or be around others today. Stay home and chill or find yourself a hideaway.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You have a strength that endures. Even in the toughest times, you can’t be stopped, and you don’t quit. At times you might feel misunderstood by others, but when you find the right community or group of friends, your love and loyalty are unmatched. You always approach things with the best of intentions. Integrity and character are important to you and who you are. People can count on you to be trustworthy and consistent. However, with your rebellious spirit, it’s important for you to do things your own way. This year, take more time to focus on your well-being and needs.
