Chambers served in the U.S. Army as a glider pilot during the 1940s and earned prestigious awards including a Purple Heart.

Your Daily Couples Horoscope for June 19, 2025
Communication is key in any relationship, but sometimes things fall through the cracks. Our daily couple horoscope can help you find what's been lost and maintain that spark! It's a great day to start or suggest new things. You may want to move in together or make things a little more serious, but whatever happens you need to take some sort of action. You are feeling good and might introduce your partner to your coworkers or fellow students or whoever you spend the day with. The social energy should make the visit pleasant for all. You can feel that the time is right and the energy is there, so you know you should snap into action. Ask the big question, drop the L-bomb, or do whatever you need to do to make things better. You need to have some space for yourself and that may or may not be easy depending on your circumstances. Find a way to relax on your own even if your partner is right nearby. Are you ready for a good, long chat? Your partner probably is, and if you think about it for a second, you'll see that you are too. Your communication skills are brilliant right now. Find out what the cards have in store for you with your 2022 Tarot Reading. Sit down with your partner and start talking. You might be surprised by how quickly the conversation turns to deeper topics and how engaged the two of you are in the discussion. You may want to decorate or make some other aesthetic changes that require your partner's approval. Fortunately, that will be easy to get, as your eye is almost indisputably perfect right now. It might feel like the situation is slipping out of your control, but that's exactly what needs to happen. Don't worry too much about the specifics. Focus instead on the big picture. If little things have been frustrating you lately, you'll see how they are just distracting you from seeing the relationship as a whole. Don't worry about anything small. It's a good time for the two of you to start some new joint project together. It doesn't matter what you do as long as both of you are fully and equally engaged in the planning and details. If you've been having trouble communicating lately, try something new. It could be charades or something even sillier, but it's important to break out of old habits and patterns. Focus your attention and energy on your partner's needs. They are going to have to take priority for at least a little while. Try to be patient, because they may not be immediately grateful. Need a quick answer? Yes/No Tarot will offer guidance right now!
