HOROSCOPE
SATURDAY, JUNE 9, 2018 Cosmic Warning Against Complaint
Complaining is dangerous, because instead of making things better, the complainer often bonds with others in disgruntlement that fixes nothing. Don’t waste the stellar communication vibes of the Gemini sun and Mercury. Instead of complaining to friends, talk to the people who can actually do something about the problem!
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a lot that needs doing that can only be done by you. To avoid becoming overwhelmed, dump everything you could possibly do onto a sheet of paper. You’ll immediately feel better. Then comes the sorting. You’re on your way!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll have a feeling about someone, and then the feeling will be confirmed. Then you’ll have a different feeling about the situation, and that feeling will also be confirmed. Is this a self-fulfilling prophecy or psychic validation?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ve been outgoing, and you’ve been introverted; both modes have worked for you. So don’t be afraid to go with your mood today, even if you don’t think it’s quite what the room wants. Do you.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). What about getting a coach? Even if you have to pay someone, if it’s the difference between reaching your goals and not reaching them, it will be worth it. Accountability: That’s the thing that’s missing now.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some friendships are like museums, where you stroll along making discoveries, and others are like sporting events, where you play hard and compete with one another. Either kind is good. Just don’t mistake one for the other.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Since your instinct is to go forward with gusto, you’re likely to get attention with your approach. Fear will dissipate. It will simply burn off as though it’s fueling your motion. You’ll have an impact.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The tasks may be arduous, and you don’t mind a bit, as long as they’re also necessary. So ask yourself: “Will I be closer to my goals if I continue to work on this?” Then let the answer be your guide.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are some matters in which you’re inclined to be uncompromising, and this is your right and privilege. But when it comes to your loved ones, you have the flexibility and sensitivity it takes to create harmony.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your thoughts will be louder than usual, as they are invigorated by the work you give them. This is important to you! Furthermore, those who really know you can almost hear your thoughts in their own heads.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So many of life’s changes occur so slowly over time that you can’t tell the difference over the course of a day. That’s why the change you see today will be momentous and exciting indeed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even though technically you may feel it’s not possible to make people happy, should they find happiness on your watch, it will be a point of personal pride, and rightfully so.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The popular solution will work for you, too. Are you wary of finding luck with the well-trodden path? Don’t worry: You’ll do things a little differently (you won’t be able to help yourself), and you’ll still get results.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 9). An athletic or personal accomplishment begins your new year. Doors will swing open as you lead with your levity, friendliness and instinct for helping people with up-to-date solutions. Connections made before August will play into a deal that profits many. Soul satisfaction comes through quiet pursuits and sincere relationships in 2019. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 9, 6, 40 and 7.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTION: “I’m a 20-year-old Gemini, and I’ve never had a steady boyfriend for any decent length of time. My relationships last about a month. At first, I’m really into a guy, and if he likes me too, the beginning is usually great. Awesome first dates come next. Then things start to go down hill after a couple of weeks. The guy usually makes me mad by not calling or not seeming that into the relationship, and then I break up with him. What do you make of it? Will I ever have a real boyfriend?”
Yes! When you start acting like a real girlfriend. Let’s look at the positive. With your Gemini wit and charm, you attract guys who like you too, and you can create sparks. Those are important elements in a relationship, and a lot of people have trouble making those things happen. So pat yourself on the back. Now, work on the deepening of the relationship. That means not bailing when it gets a little boring or it turns out your guy is just, well, a guy. Challenge yourself to double the length of your next relationship. Beyond the superficial attraction you’ll get to something more real and meaningful.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Gemini Johnny Depp is among the most versatile of actors. From Edward Scissorhands to Sweeney Todd, Jack Sparrow to the Mad Hatter, the ever surprising actor strives for total immersion in his highly original characterizations. Depp’s quick-witted Gemini sun is balanced by a preponderance of grounded earth-sign energy in his natal chart.
SUNDAY, JUNE 10, 2018 Emboldened Moon
You may be afraid to do something just because you’re not sure you’re going to know what to say or how to behave when you get there. And chances are there’s no study guide to learn the language of life. You get it through experience, and especially through the experience of making mistakes. Let the Taurus moon embolden you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). When the ideas don’t flow, when your optimism is suffering and/or when your work is stymied, the solution to getting unstuck will be in your body and not your mind. Your best work will be freed through movement, nutrition and sleep.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The company will be mixed, and you’ll want to relate what you’re saying to as many people as possible. Therefore, avoid inside jokes, professional lingo and anything else that can’t be readily understood by all.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You felt you had to tell certain halftruths just to smooth the social icing. Understandable. Let’s hope that now you’re headed for more authentic interactions. May the only lying you do be in the arms of one you love.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Always be tidying up. This is the rule of ships and kitchens and factories. It’s the rule for domestic life and life in general. It’s a manner of being that translates into optimal function, ease, style and confidence.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The things we do on autopilot will save mental energy, but it’s a way of navigating that needs to be updated and checked every once in a while for optimal results. This you can do by asking at every turn, “What is the reason for this?”
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
Friends bring out an informal side of you that you may prefer the authority figures in your life, including the ones you’re related to, don’t have occasion to see. It’s why mixes of friends and family can get a little tricky.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your favorite folks to be around will be the ones who talk about ideas, not people. They’ll share solutions. They’ll concoct visions for a better future. You need this kind of positivity in your life!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s not too early to prep for an event on the horizon. Hours of work will be necessary to create the kind of harmony you’re going for and to avoid any off-notes that would take away from the music of a wonderful happening.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though you’re an enormously capable person, you’re no stranger to feelings of being overwhelmed. Overwhelm is a state of mind caused by a perspective. Remove yourself from the offending environment. The paralysis lifts!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Confident communicators are emboldened to dive into all kinds of situations. So anything you do to improve your arsenal of social skills will count toward many areas of life.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If it gets to be a bit much, you can always remove yourself from the room where you started to feel overwhelmed. Your perspective will shift. You’ll see the situation as an outside observer would.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your powers of discernment will be well applied to today’s debates. In particular, beware of the “weak man fallacy,” a strategy in which the opponent’s weakest argument is treated as his or her strongest or only argument.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 10). Your overwhelming need to learn the world will send you into fascinating territory over the next three months. Sharp social reflexes will land you in a prime position to make fun and money in September. October brings a surprise twist that you’ll work to your advantage. Payoffs happen in November and March. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 50, 16, 22 and 3.
FORECAST FOR THE WEEK AHEAD: The Taurus moon kicks the week off with all the confidence of a bull, only this bovine is more closely characterized as the daisy-smelling sweetheart called Ferdinand than, say, Bodacious, the bucking Charbray known in the rodeo community as the world’s most dangerous bull. We’re in the solar rule of sociable Gemini, which implies a certain civility.
On Tuesday, Mercury moves out of Gemini to join the waters of Cancer. The change represents a shift in our communication style. The subtext of conversations will become more obvious. This placement for Mercury can be quite prescient, so don’t be surprised if you begin to work through interactions before they technically happen. The intuitive can, after all, sense where things are headed. Furthermore, people will tend to make decisions based on feelings or moods rather than the rationales of the choices.
If you’ve been a little bored with how things are playing out lately, Wednesday’s new moon in Gemini represents the turnaround. It’s not solely a matter of changing the agenda or trying a different approach, though that’s certainly part of it; rather, it’s a chance for people interested in reinvention of the self to present something different and be socially accepted as the new people they wish to be.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Born on this day in 1922, Judy Garland was among the brightest stars of Hollywood’s golden era, lending her exuberance to such classics as “Meet Me in St. Louis” and, of course, “The Wizard of Oz.” Garland’s wellrounded natal chart included the pep and sociability of having a Gemini sun, Mercury and Venus in soulful Cancer and Neptune, the planet of dreams, in Leo, the ruler of all things entertainment.
