Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, June 16, 2011: This year, your focus needs to remain on a key partnership. For some of you, two relationships could take a higher priority. One could be professional. If single, you will quickly fall into a close bond. Be careful not to jump into the first situation that comes along. If attached, the two of you become closer, but often there are periods of withdrawal, followed by greater closeness. Capricorn helps ground you. A baby born today has a Sun in Gemini and a Moon in Capricorn.
