Horoscopes: Saturday, June 24, 2017

ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you're in a place where second-guessing is second nature, you need a place of solace too - a home base where there are people you can count on.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You're willing to face rejection. It's something you have to muster up, but this willingness is harder than most people pretend, and it's the most useful trait in increasing your influence today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Making money doesn't make character. Doing work builds character, and often the work will bring money. It's important to make the distinction today. The riches that earn respect may not be gold.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Know your reasons. This is the difference between resolutions that fail and resolutions that succeed. When your reasons are good and deep enough, your resolve will make things happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When the unexpected thing happens it can be exciting in a good way - something to tell your friends about. Or it can be unsettling and hard to recover from. You're sensitive to this.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You're keeping track. In everything that happens, you have the equivalent of the black box of an airplane accounting for it. Flames and floods and love and war couldn't change the account of the faithful, honest witness inside you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Taste what you eat and get the full impact of what you touch. Treat your daily life and routine as though you'll have to do a report on it later. This will serve you well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your family of origin has much to report about the mettle you're made of and the frailties stamped on you but in no way does it define the whole of you. The self-made part of you will shine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are those who do the right thing when the eyes of the world are on them, and there are those who do the right thing when they're all alone. Align yourself with the latter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you're going to launch yourself into the hard challenges, you'll need your own thoughts and feelings supporting you. Convince yourself. Encourage yourself. Get on Team You.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When passion ignites, it's a stroke of luck but not necessarily a blessing. Passion is the spark. It has to turn into something sustainable to be a gift.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There's an ethical decision to be made. The morality of the situation isn't deep but it is complex. Getting away with it doesn't make it right, and getting caught doesn't make it wrong.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 24). The mission drives you. At times you'll be hyper-productive, singlehandedly accomplishing more than whole teams do. Respect your need to hibernate and rejuvenate; it's how you'll stay healthy. Lifestyle upgrades are cemented in November. A new study will delight you in 2018, and you'll be paid well, too. Leo and Libra adore you. Lucky numbers: 10, 4, 44, 48 and 17.
