Today's horoscope for Tuesday, June 17 will see Aries meet challenges head-on, while Capricorn is ready to put their trust in someone
It's Tuesday, and one star sign should trust their ability to manage a situation, while another will be deeply committed to a new goal.
There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.

These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared.

Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
In your usual forthright style you will want to meet challenges head-on. You find it easier to overcome problems when you keep your outlook positive and trust in your ability to manage the situation. Also, facing up to responsibilities leaves you feeling more successful.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
Someone is keen to finalise a financial or legal arrangement. You're uncertain about it. Now is not the time to let others pressure you into a decision you might later regret. Consider the possible consequences of all decisions. Plan ahead to ensure you feel secure about your commitments.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
Exploring new places and taking on new commitments will provide you with experiences you've never had before. You are likely to find yourself with more time to spend with friends and family and you might notice it's been a while since you've felt this relaxed and comfortable.
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
Make positive use of your charm and charisma to bring a long-held dream to life. Keep telling yourself that you can realise a cherished wish. This is the perfect time to showcase your creative talents, submit a university application or apply for a loan. Everything is looking promising now.
Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
Some new faces will join your working environment, bringing with them new interests and new ideas. Your involvement with a club or group will present you with an unexpected offer and this is a one you will want to accept immediately.

Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
A changing financial situation is giving you more hope for the future. The thought of being able to make a down payment on a house or a car will fill you with renewed hope and excitement. You might also be thinking about investing in something that brings back fond childhood memories.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
You are deeply committed to a new goal despite what someone else is inferring. They don't realise how serious you are about this. While others may not understand why you have suddenly changed your views, they will be unable to dissuade you from doing what you want to do.
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
Friends and colleagues are grateful for the way you have taken charge of a difficult situation. Your intervention is making a positive difference. You will be asked for advice on handling a similar problem. A mix of practicality and trusting your intuition will guide you through the day.

Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
One way to address an issue related to a joint budget is to share ideas with your partner. Together you will be able to determine the next steps. Also, you might hear a friend from a distance is thinking about visiting you soon. You have mixed feelings about this news.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
After some recent events, discussions and interesting revelations, you are ready to put your trust in someone despite some previous doubts about their honesty and reliability. Explanations they have given make sense to you and you can see how and why there have been misunderstandings.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Close relationships are more harmonious than they have been recently. In fact, one particular partnership is starting to feel more stable. Later in the day, a health issue related to an older relative will need your attention. This is something you don't want to ignore.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
Computers and electronic devices could be problematic. Be flexible, especially when you are with people who get bored very easily. While you and a close friend or partner may not see eye to eye on every issue, this does not imply a lack of compatibility.

Helen Garner reflects on the ‘three worst weeks of my life' caring for a dying friend

When Helen Garner arrived at Sydney's Belvoir St theatre last Wednesday, she was worried the next two hours were 'going to be gruesome'. It was opening night of the adaptation of her 2008 novel, The Spare Room, based on her experience caring for a dying friend who came to stay with her. 'They were the three worst weeks of my life, they were just unforgettably dreadful,' Garner said in conversation with Jennifer Byrne at Belvoir on Monday evening. 'I came along [to opening night] feeling that I would find it unbearable to live those three weeks again.' After the show, she crawled into bed 'exhausted'. 'I don't sleep very well now, since I got old, but I got into bed and I slept without moving for nine hours,' Garner said. 'Seeing those three weeks played out on stage resolved something in me.' In The Spare Room, the narrator, Helen, gamely agrees to host her old friend Nicola when she flies from Sydney to Melbourne to attend a cancer clinic, without realising how close to death she is. As the novel opens, Helen is preparing her spare room for her friend – fresh sheets, plumped pillows, a new rug, flowers – confident in her capabilities as a hostess and carer. This is quickly punctured by Nicola's shocking frailty and poor health, and her irrational optimism about her prognosis and the clinic's dubious treatment protocol – which turns out to be Vitamin C injections and 'ozone baths'. There follows a power struggle: Helen's fierce love for her friend gives way to excoriating rage at her delusional positivity and refusal to admit she's dying, while Nicola stubbornly resists Helen's attempts to arrange proper pain medication and palliative care. 'I was cruel to her,' Garner confessed, reflecting on her experience with her friend (Jenya Osborne, who died in 2006), adding: 'When somebody's in a trance of craziness, you want to snap them out of it – and that can make you cruel, harsh.' Belvoir's artistic director, Eamon Flack, who adapted the novel for stage, said it was Garner's frank depiction of an older woman's rage that drew him to it. Garner said she was criticised for precisely this aspect of her novel when it was first published. 'Quite a few older men criticised it because they said it was too full of anger … I was kind of shocked, actually, [because] we rage against death; there's a lot of anger in us when death is in the room.' These criticisms upset her, she admitted. 'You don't want to [be seen as] 'Oh, you're so angry.' 'Why are you so angry, Helen? You're always angry' – that's something people [have said]. Even my grandson said this to me the other day: 'Hel, you're full of anger,'' she said, rearing back in mock rage: 'I said, 'How dare you!'' Not a single woman has criticised The Spare Room for its anger, Garner said; instead, many older women thanked her for depicting the carer's experience. One full-time carer told her: 'Helen, we all feel that anger. We're all tormented by it. Don't be ashamed of it. It's part of the whole thing. You have to go there.' In Belvoir's adaptation, Helen is portrayed by stage and screen veteran Judy Davis – a performance that Garner said she found 'shattering' to watch. 'But it took me a moment to get used to it,' she said. 'I don't go to the theatre much any more. I used to go a lot – I even used to be a theatre critic in the 80s – but now I just look at movies and stuff on TV. And I'd forgotten how actory [theatre] actors are. There's such a lot of big gestures, big movements, and I thought, 'Oh my God, could you just stand still for a moment?' … I kept saying 'I would never do that. I would never run across the room like that'.' Garner said she is not generally a fan of adaptations of her work – but neither does she feel the need to be heavily involved. 'I'm happy to hand stuff over,' she said. 'I wouldn't have wanted to have anything to do with this production … I would feel that I was useless.' One exception was Ken Cameron's 1982 film adaptation of her 1977 novel, Monkey Grip, where she happened to be on set the day they were filming a scene between Noni Hazlehurst and Colin Friels after his character had overdosed. 'He says 'Sorry, Nora', and in the book she says, 'You don't have to say that' – and so Noni [said the line] and I said, 'CUT! That's so wrong. She's in a rage.' But they were going to play it in this soppy, wet [way],' Garner said. 'I'm always glad that I was there.' When Byrne said she would like to see all of Garner's books adapted for stage, Garner retorted with characteristic frankness: 'I'm telling you now, I would hate that. I mean, God, there's so much shit in there.' The audience laughed appreciatively – but the author fixed us with a gimlet eye. 'And when I die, don't think anybody's gonna get in it then, either.' The Spare Room is at Belvoir St theatre, Sydney until 13 July
