(Canada is celebrating its 142nd anniversary of Confederation today... On June 20, 1868, a proclamation signed by the Governor General, Lord Monck, called upon all Her Majesty's loving subjects throughout Canada to join in the celebration of the anniversary of the formation of the union of the British North America provinces in a federation under the name of Canada on July 1st.) 
(Congratulations to the finalist of this year's Canada Day Poster Challenge, 15 year old Allison Forseille from Saskatchewan (Saskatoon). In her words Allison describes her poster: "The cheering fans are not only welcoming the world and Olympians to Canada, but they are also cheering for the pure beauty that our country has to offer. In my poster I also depict cultural diversity in Canada by clothing the fans in the colours of other countries." Congratulations, Allison!

(Libra, September 23 to October 22: You have the feeling that someone you've never really trusted is trying to get between you and the person or goal you've been actively pursuing. If you're not sure, sit tight and don't do anything that might embarrass either of you. If you are -- and you'd better be absolutely sure -- present your case to powers who will know how to handle this.)
(Scorpio, October 23 to November 21: Oh, this is going to be interesting, that's for sure. Summer is here, and you're certainly feeling it. The heat will urge you to make some serious changes in your life -- and you know exactly where to start, don't you? It looks as if you're planning to begin at the bottom and work your way up. Just let your loved ones know the news as gently as possible. They might not be prepared for this.)
(Sagittarius, November 22 to December 21: As fiery as you are -- and that's pretty darned hot -- when you say you're ready to get the show on the road, as far as a work project goes, there's absolutely no doubt that it's all going to come together, and quickly, too. You're set to pull off something like that now, and there'll be no stopping you, either -- just as long as you manage your time carefully and don't waste a single moment. You can do it. You just need to believe you can do it. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Source, Photography Alexi Lubomirski. Tomorrow, July 2nd's horoscope: Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces!)
(Cancer, June 22 to July 22: It's never easy giving out advice, whether it's asked for or unsolicited. Either way, chances are good that they won't actually take it, even after you've spent at least an hour reciting your best sales pitches. They'll listen, then they'll frown, shake their head and recite a long, drawn-out list of reasons why they can't possibly do what you're suggesting. Every now and then, however, you get lucky. Give them at least five minutes before you decide to call it quits.)
(Leo, July 23 to August 23: You have a knack for getting along with higher-ups, and it's only going to get better over the next couple of years. Yes, years. That said, if you need to talk with an authority figure about a problem, even if it's an embarrassing one, now is definitely the time to do it. You may not be able to solve the situation even with their help or advice, but you definitely won't feel competent to do it without them. At any rate, it's worth a shot.)
(Virgo, August 24 to September 22: Once you make up your mind about someone, it's tough to change it, especially if a long-term dispute is at the heart of that opinion. For now, it might be best for you to let all that go, no matter what it was, and try to let the past truly become the past. Of course, it all depends on whether the situation is something you can forgive. Horoscope via us.glamour.com.

(Aries, March 21 to April 19: our world's an orderly, balanced and bright one, and you're doing your part to keep it that way -- putting selfishness aside and enjoying giving just as much as you're delighting in receiving. This generous mood of yours also gives you an extra-sparkly charm factor, which won't go unnoticed by those around you (and may be noticed by one person in particular). Keep the cycle of good energy going, and get the most out of this special day.)
(Taurus, April 20 to May 20: Forget about your boring old routine -- today is special, so fill it with good cheer and lots of fun. If you have to squeeze in some last-minute errands, take care of them quickly. A big, indulgent brunch is in order, perhaps followed by a walk or a matinee with friends or family. Tonight, plan to be cozy with your favorite people, enjoying some favorite beverages and telling favorite stories.)
(Gemini, May 21 to June 21: Fun's definitely in the stars, and while others may be in a mellower mode, you're raring to go. Find a friend or two who can keep up with you, and choose something great to do. A daytime adventure of roller-skating might be about your speed, or the hustle and bustle of shopping for a new summer outfit, or a special lunch at an interesting ethnic restaurant. Start a new tradition and enjoy every minute -- these are the days that memories are made of. Horoscope via Marie Claire.com. Photograph Source, Kayt Jones Photography. Tomorrow, June 30th's horoscope: Cancer, Leo & Virgo.)
