HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21-April 19): To motivate the people around you, you’ll tap into your visionary powers and paint a pretty picture of the ideal scenario with your eloquent words.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Asking the same deadend question over and over again will never produce what you need. Change it up. Feel around for the right trigger.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You know just what to do to command respect and gain the freedom or authority you desire. You could even turn your opponents into allies.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Watching another person grow up is a great pleasure, even if that person happens to be older than you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have rules about self-expression that are more stringent than society’s rules. It’s OK to hoot, holler, applaud, cheer and laugh out loud, and it’s OK to cry.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Accept the changes going on or reject them. You don’t have to acknowledge and integrate these developments, but you’ll be more powerful if you do.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Forget about the silver linings. As long as you’re looking for the good in a situation, you may as well go for the gold or platinum linings.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Rebuilding yourself will suit your mindset better and will create a lifestyle that highlights, exercises and celebrates the best in you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Life has no meaning except the one you assign to it, so make an assignment that vitalizes you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You sense that you are bigger than the problem, which is why you don’t think to complain — you just han-

dle it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Establish a connection before you deliver your message, and you’ll be more likely to be heard, understood and followed.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You aspire to do something difficult well, and you’ll keep on practicing until you get the results you desire.

Today’s birthday (June 3): Cultivate friendships with those who share your values. If you don’t know what new people value, then ask. An idiosyncratic person adds sparkle to your world in the next three months. Things are always more interesting around this person. Your lucky numbers are: 35, 49, 12, 28 and 19.
