Your daily horoscope: June 27

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Opportunities to excel will come thick and fast over the year ahead and your only real problem is going to be picking and choosing between them. You cannot possibly do it all, so go for quality over quantity and create a genuine masterpiece.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Enjoy the best that life has to offer between now and the weekend. The world may be full of people who preach doom and gloom but it is your own outlook on life that matters most – if you want it to be wonderful then it will be.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

The more you are on the move now the more fun you will have. Cosmic activity in the travel area of your chart means it would be a crime to stay at home doing nothing. There are so many opportunities out there that are tailor-made for you personally.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

Jupiter in your sign means the universe is on your side at the moment and you must make the most of it. The recipe for personal and professional success could not be clearer: If you think lucky you’ll be lucky. Yes, it really is as simple as that.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Whatever you turn your hand to over the next few days is sure to go well, so don’t limit yourself to activities you have done a thousand times before. Life is what you choose to make of it, so branch out and try something new.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You have never lacked for confidence but cosmic activity in the most sensitive area of your chart is making you wonder if you have bitten off more than you can chew. Maybe you have but you’re Leo, king of the jungle – you swallow your prey whole!

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

It’s time to be bold and push past the limits the world has imposed on you, as well as the limits you have imposed on yourself. What is your deepest desire? What is your loftiest ambition? Accept nothing less over the next 24 hours.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You are determined to make your mark on the world and won’t tone down your aims no matter what the critics say. Do whatever it takes to reach the top of the professional tree, then look down and laugh at those who were too afraid to climb with you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

There is a huge luck factor at work in your life at the moment, so don’t hold back in any way, shape or form. A new adventure is on the horizon and if you embrace it you could find it is the most fun thing you have ever done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You may not be at your most sociable today but that’s okay. Even a livewire Sag needs some down time once in a while so you can reset your mental and emotional batteries. Physically, too, you could do with a well-deserved rest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If you try to call the shots in your relationships then you may be disappointed between now and the weekend as partners and loved ones test their strength and insist that you do things their way for a change. If you are smart you will agree.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

With Mars and the sun strong in your chart you would be wise to pace yourself over the next few days. Both at home and at work you will accomplish more in the long-term if you slow down a bit now. Don’t worry, you won’t get left behind.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Creative activities are under excellent stars at the moment, so follow your muse wherever it leads you and above all give yourself permission to have fun. Love life, love your work and love the people you deal with. And love yourself too!
