Your daily horoscope: June 20, 2025
You will achieve much more over the coming year if you resist the urge to be imperious and take a more democratic approach to decision-making both at home and at work. You know a lot but you cannot possibly know everything, so listen to advice. Set your own goals today and don't let anyone talk you into lowering them to a level that is too easy for you. As an Aries you like to be challenged because it allows you to show what you can do – and prove you are better than your rivals. A new cycle is about to begin and the good news is it will be one in which you get the chance to expand your outlook on life and reach for objectives you previously believed were beyond you. Set your sights high, then keep going higher. The stresses and strains of everyday living have taken their toll in recent weeks, so promise yourself that you won't do anything too challenging today and over the weekend. Even a livewire Gemini needs to slow things down once in a while. You found it hard to get your own way in recent weeks but as the sun is about to move into your sign opposition to your plans will fade and friends and colleagues will actually be supportive for a change. You have much to look forward to. You may think you have to work harder than ever to earn the respect of partners and colleagues but that isn't true at all. Most of them already think you are wonderful, so sit back and enjoy the well-deserved adulation. The sun's change of signs tomorrow means you will find it remarkably easy to win others round to your way of thinking and acting. With Jupiter and Mars on your side as well you are going to be doing great things over the next few weeks. When dealing with official matters of any kind today you must check the small print carefully, because if you miss something important others won't be inclined to give you a second bite at the cherry. Aim to get it right the first time. A wonderful new phase is about to begin, so strap yourself in and get ready for the ride of your life! With the sun, Mars and Jupiter all on your side there really is no limit to what you can accomplish. Love is in the air as well. By all means aim high today and over the weekend but don't set yourself the kind of targets that even a Sagittarius might struggle to reach. If you fail to remind yourself that you are human now an unexpected event will remind you later on. With so much cosmic activity taking place in the opposite half of your chart you have to accept that in most situations you won't be calling the shots. The good news is you don't have to as those making the decisions are very much on your side. If you find yourself at odds with someone you live or work with today don't turn it into a battle of wills or the sort of winner-takes-all situation that inevitably leaves one side feeling unhappy. Focus on areas where you still mainly agree. With the sun about to move into the most dynamic and creative area of your chart all your senses will be on alert and all your dreams will start to come true. Once you realize you can do no wrong you will want to do everything. Discover more about yourself at

The REAL cost of forgiving my husband's affair. My body was screaming to leave, but I took him back... then his lover sent me a video so cruel I'll never be the same
I never thought I'd be the kind of woman who stays. When you hear about someone who stays with their cheating husband, it's easy to judge. I probably would've too, once. Before it happened to me.

5 Questions To Help You Define Enough After Retirement
CHIMAYO, NEW MEXICO - OCTOBER 22, 2018: A tourist pulling a recreational vehicle, or RV, approaches ... More the small town of Chimayo, New Mexico. (Photo by) One question I've been thinking about lately is this: When is enough, enough? Knowing that you have limited time on this planet, what do you need in order to look back on your life and feel satisfied? Given that we live in a society that worships more, more, more, this can be tricky to answer. It's critical, however, that you define what is enough for you, especially after you're done with your main career and entering full or semi-retirement. To help get people who attend my workshops thinking, I often ask them about their role models. Who is living a life that looks attractive to you? My husband and I like to observe how others are spending their resources of time, money, and energy. It is not about judging how others are living their lives. It is about looking for ideas and deciding how we want to live the next phase of our life. For instance, some people strive to buy second homes and then spend time decorating and furnishing these homes. That's their version of enough. For other people, 'enough' might simply be a roof over their head and the ability to go on road trip adventures, and so they downsize and move into an RV. Or they buy an RV so that can travel to places that are hard to get to without having a car. My husband is a wealth advisor and has followed Warren Buffett's investing philosophy for a long time – and we also admire how Buffet has chosen to live his life. For instance, Buffett has lived in the same home in Omaha that he bought in 1958. 'I'm happy there. I'd move if I thought I'd be happier someplace else,' he explained. For him, that home was enough. Personally, I find one home a challenge to maintain given other demands and desires for my time. For my husband and I, more than one home would demand money, time, and upkeep that we would rather spend elsewhere. Figuring out what is 'enough' is tied to figuring out our priorities and how we want to spend our resources. Choosing What You Worship This topic reminded me of the commencement speech by David Foster Wallace in 2005 at Kenyon College, later published as his book 'This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion about Living a Compassionate Life.' He spoke of the importance of choosing what we 'worship': … If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It's the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you. On one level, we all know this stuff already. It's been codified as myths, proverbs, clichés, epigrams, parables; the skeleton of every great story. The whole trick is keeping the truth up front in daily consciousness. Worship power, you will end up feeling weak and afraid, and you will need ever more power over others to numb you to your own fear. Worship your intellect, being seen as smart, you will end up feeling stupid, a fraud, always on the verge of being found out. But the insidious thing about these forms of worship is not that they're evil or sinful, it's that they're unconscious. They are default settings. Life after retirement can be lived on default settings unless we make intentional decisions about how we spend our resources. What Is Enough To You? Michael Kay has written extensively about what is enough after retirement. He notes that his conversations with clients always circle back to that particular client's values. His clients often define the financial idea of enough as: 'Enough to not outlive resources, given a particular lifestyle. Enough to provide college for grandchildren. Enough to benefit others through charitable donations.' Kay talks about how fear keeps us worried about if we have enough. But enough for what? What 'enough money' means to you is obviously very important. But you should think about what you need to live your life with no regrets in other areas as well. See below for five questions to ask yourself in order to assess what enough means for you. Whether we are still working or not, we still only have 24 hours in a day. Time is our most precious resource. When will we have more time than we have right now? What do we have to give up (or do more of) for us to have enough? When I interviewed Sahil Bloom, author of 'The Five Types of Wealth: A Transformative Guide to Design Your Dream Life,' for my 'Becoming a Sage' podcast, he said 'Never let the quest for more distract you from the beauty of enough.'

Get all the latest Capricorn horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions 2 ♒ AQUARIUS January 21 to February 18 Planets of inner heat and generosity make your day sing – perhaps even providing a space for you to take centre stage. Your confidence may have felt rather slow-growing, but this means it's longer-lasting, and so resilient. So you can afford to spare some time to show someone older that you care. Get all the latest Aquarius horoscope news including your weekly and monthly predictions ♓ PISCES February 19 to March 20 Working with very close friends or family may be too much for you today – try to maintain a level of distance between you. Plus a pre-agreed set of ground rules. You've got the ability to push any lovebond to the next level, if that's what you want. Remember two-way respect is the best kind.

JANA HOCKING: I spent three days at a 'sex camp' in the desert... here are the mind-blowing secrets I learned
This year, I found myself in the middle of the California desert at an orgasm retreat. I know how that sounds. Even as I was punching the address into my GPS, I couldn't help but second guess what I was getting myself into.
