If Your Birthday is June 20
(The Day of Ecstatic Appeal) | Birthday Readings: Gemini | Cancer | Others
What's right for you is unlikely to be right for other people, so you will need to trust your own judgment and your own experience. You stand at an edge you've never experienced before, with a rare view of the world. This offers the advantage of seeing unique opportunities. You're at the cusp of the future. Be bold about entering the unknown.

Written in the Planets
That original or startling idea that seems to come out of nowhere? Negotiate moving it forward just a little, and you may find it takes off on its own somehow. Harness your intuition, remember to be precise, and understand that your opinions might strike others as extreme. That's not necessarily a bad thing, since today seems to call for a little action. Mercury in Gemini (one degree behind the Sun) is making a sextile to Uranus and Pallas in Aries; an opposition to Pholus in Sagittarius; and a square to Chiron in Pisces. Listen for the 'cosmic homing signal' with your inner hearing, but employ some strategy or diplomacy with the outside world to communicate your ideas.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- True fortune cookie: "A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not why ships are built." Whoever wrote that must have been looking at your solar chart. You have the temptation to linger in your comfort zone, or to set sail on the wide-open ocean. The winds and the tides are with you.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- The Sun is about to reach solstice, and enter the water sign Cancer. Mercury will soon follow along. This will serve you well, helping boost your confidence and find your voice. Be honest about your feelings, and be secure in who you are. You're well aware of the strong core within you.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- You're more intelligent than you think, though it would help if you listened to your ideas and observations about life, rather than being distracted by your doubts. It helps to check your facts, but your viewpoint can only be verified through direct experience. And that is what you need.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- With Mars in your sign, it will be helpful to study the concept of power. It's not a mood or a feeling, for which it's often mistaken. It's not a concept of yourself. Rather, power is the ability to connect with others in a meaningful way, to spread your influence and get a result.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- From the look of your solar chart, you need to step into the cool shade of a little privacy and seclusion. You've been a rather social being the past few weeks, and there remain many tempting opportunities. However, you'll feel better if you take some time and space to yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You've reached the natural transition between one approach to life and another. Having covered the details, and taken responsibility for what's rightfully your role, you can relax a little and mingle with people on the human level. Even the people who work for you actually like you.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- You've been more ambitious than usual; you're not always as laid back as the official description of your sign says you are. However, get ready for some real movement and action in your professional life, and remember: people are reading and watching. Let your reputation be about beauty and competence.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- A wise person once said, "People seek enlightenment, but what they really want is to be adults." Your current solar chart suggests that you're looking for some kind of spiritual answer, though you would be better served to set a standard of maturity, particularly in business and financial transactions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You seem to be standing on the edge of a deepening commitment, though uncertain whether you should proceed. You want to -- this you know. Your passion, desire and curiosity have run ahead of you. From the look of your solar chart, you will not be hesitating for long.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- You may be surprised by the transition that's about to happen in your life, which will take you from a hectic schedule dominated by work, to a whole other set of priorities. Most of these will involve intimate relationships and family ties. Finish up any important tasks; better things are calling you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Your mind has been on fire lately, and now you have to focus and get down to the business of putting your plans into action. Commitment may seem to ebb and flood like the tides, and if that is so, you'll need your own method of maintaining consistent productivity. Being brilliant is not enough.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You've done rather well the past month of the Sun moving through the most sensitive angle of your chart. Your doubts have not stopped you from pushing ahead. Now, a series of extraordinary events is going to pick you up and carry you to a much more creative and passionate place.
