Aries:

If there's anything you hate, it's being forced to submit to someone else's demands. Unfortunately, that's precisely the situation you face today. Before you fly off the handle, consider whether it would make long-term sense to go along with the programme. By demonstrating that you can obey orders, you will be given a free rein later. It's definitely worth the temporary discomfort. Treat yourself to a delicious meal to celebrate the summer solstice.

Taurus:

Normally, you're very reserved, but you can't help making an emotional outburst today. That's because your domestic security is being threatened. Protecting your loved ones is second nature for you. Once people see how passionate you are, they'll back down immediately. Keep this in mind the next time somebody pushes your buttons. Even the smallest show of force will intimidate bullies, giving you the time and freedom to do as you please this summer.

Gemini:

You're more determined than ever to get paid what you're worth. Committing emotional blackmail isn't out of the question. Appealing to your employer's guilt complex will have excellent results. After all, you both know you've gone above and beyond the call of duty. Unless you stand up for your rights, you'll continue to be treated in the same shoddy fashion all summer. Voice your concerns and refuse to be appeased by vague promises.

Leo:

Although you usually prefer to command the spotlight, it's better to work from behind-the-scenes today. This will allow you to practice certain skills that you're still struggling to perfect. By the time summer ends, you'll be operating like a pro. Meanwhile, beware of entering into an illicit romantic relationship. Otherwise, you could end up hurting an innocent person. That's not something you're willing to do, even for momentary pleasure.

Virgo:

You feel very competitive with friends right now, which can put a rift in relationships. If somebody has good news to share, do your best to rejoice wholeheartedly. After all, just because your pal has experienced good fortune doesn't mean that you're fated to misery. In fact, your chances of prospering will be much better if you refuse to fall prey to jealousy. Obey your generous instincts; they'll be rewarded once summer is over.

Libra:

A desire for fame or recognition may prompt you to behave in uncharacteristic ways. As a general rule, you adopt a refined attitude in public. With the arrival of the summer solstice, you'll be tempted to outshine some pretty boisterous rivals, even if it means calling attention to yourself. Don't shy away from forceful arguments, either. You'll win a very important person's confidence by proving you can defend a position.
