Horoscopes

Aries (March 21-April 19): Assess the balance in your relationships. What would it take to make things fair? Before you decide, think long-term and short-term. Envision best- and worst-case scenarios. The important thing is to be imaginative instead of reactive.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Don’t let assertiveness put you at odds with the style of those around you. A soft approach can also be a driving force for change. Others will get on board because they trust you and feel good interacting with you.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): No one is you! You’re willing to take risks and make discoveries the way only you can do. It all makes you feel more alive. It’s not necessary to you for your endeavors to be groundbreaking; your take is what makes it brilliant and new.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): It’s normal to feel torn between your own desires and the needs of those around you. Finding a balance can be challenging but worth it, especially since you really can’t afford to ignore any side of the equation here. It’s only going to work if it works for everyone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Though awareness requires some amount of sensitivity, take heart. You will eventually learn to notice dynamics without identifying too strongly with them. It will save you from bearing the brunt of too vivid an experience.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your comfort zone isn’t always a good benchmark of appropriate self-care. For instance, if you’re not used to being assertive, standing up for yourself can feel like arrogance.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your contributions are essential to others. You get a sense of belonging from giving more than taking. Your intuition is heightened today, allowing you to sense what others need.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll have interactions that are cut and dried, and interactions that are nuanced, contradictory and complex. Neither is better than the other. You need both because one keeps you grounded and the other keeps you interested.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Certainty is overrated. What’s underrated is the confidence to question yourself. Challenging your assumptions is the way to blast through the obstacles that once held you back. A fire sign (Aries, Leo or Sagittarius) helps you with this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): No one is alone. You know you are connected to and matter to others, and it’s something you don’t take for granted. Not everyone feels this way. Spread the word and help others get the sense of belonging they crave.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Learn from many; avoid getting too much information from one source. Each teacher will have a different strength. Because you bravely follow your curiosity, you’ll make new friends, discover novel hobbies and find fresh ways to make money.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Leisure isn’t just granted and bestowed upon you as a gift from the time gods. It happens because you use the rest of your time well. Otherwise, it’s not really leisure; it’s avoidance.

Today’s birthday (June 4): You’re a creative powerhouse, which you show by taking charge of environments, creating your preferred vibes, and the tones, moods and temperatures that will attract what you want like crazy. There will be group bonding, building new systems and resources flowing to where they are most needed. More highlights: nailing a goal, a lucrative side hustle and travel to unforgettable entertainment. Aries and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 15, 38, 12and 9.
