For Wednesday, June 13:

This year you might rely more on your creativity than you normally do. The results will be excellent, though you often might be challenged by a partner or loved one. If you are single, you meet people with ease, but often discover that they are difficult, withdrawn or depressed. If you are attached, avoid nitpicking over money with a partner.
