In June, legal matters favor you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your eyes are open to the problems of this time. One person who stands courageously on the side of what is good and right will be mightier than masses of apathetic wrongdoers. Will that one person be you?

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): People will take your calls today, and not just your people, but people you’d like to talk with but haven’t seriously considered calling until now. Pick up the phone and try out your superpower.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You are curious and able. Given enough time,you can figure out how to do just about anything. Resolve to apply your talents to a problem that regularly afflicts many.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): Holding on too tight is a danger in relationships. No one wants to feel trapped, smothered or limited by another. Sometimes you have to be a bit careless with love in order to keep it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): If they are not careful, overachievers can defeat their own purposes and make average people feel like losers. That’s why it’s important to grow equally in modesty and achievement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): No one is always the puppet master. We usually allow ourselves to be the puppets for at least part of the day. But unlike real puppets, we can cut the strings and walk away whenever we want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): As a rule, you are more motivated by dreams of what could be than by a list of what you already have achieved. But keep the list anyway. It will be your fuel if you ever start to lose heart and forget what you’re capable of.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’ll never regret the thing you did because you had no choice. You’ll only regret those actions in which you had choices but chose wrong. With this in mind, make every effort to choose right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Opportunity and risk are related. It is childish to focus on all of the pluses of a deal without looking at what could go wrong, too. You’ll make the best choice after considering all angles.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re eager to start a new venture and wary of the debate and discussion that some seem to find necessary before moving forward. You know what’s real: action.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You may be asked to explain your choices or discuss the thinking behind them, but here’s the bottom line: You’ll be judged by what you get done. This doesn’t frighten you. In fact, it pleases you.
