HOROSCOPE

(June 6 Monday)

Youth, Venus and Sunshine The whole world seems wide open for the young, with rainbows of choice. It’s an illusion, though, because the young don’t often have the means, knowledge, wisdom or ability to take advantage of the abundant possibilities. The sun and Venus so close together suggest you appreciate where you are: this perfect age; this perfect time. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Where are the lasting rewards coming from? Not the same place as the short-term rewards – not today, anyway. Likely it’s your work that will bring the deep soul satisfaction now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). How do you become a lighter, brighter person when the circumstances seem designed to anchor you to a sinking ship? Truly it’s a matter of focus and perspective. You’re freer than you understand. Test this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you’re trying, the other people on the team are trying, and all key players are working in the same direction – that’s when things start to happen. Weed out the dissenters. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Yours is a good answer, but it’s not the only good one you’ll hear today. Ask for a sampling from many different types of people. There’s magic in the blending of ideas, as long as one of the major ideas is coming from you!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t do your best if you haven’t slept enough or eaten the right things. The basics – they can’t be stressed enough these days. They are the essence of your success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sophisticated prizes require sophisticated methods. In today’s case, running after something isn’t the best way to catch it. You’ll hang back, perhaps talking about all the different angles with a mentor.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve a dominant talent that you’re missing here. Start with that. First lead with your strength, and then you’ll add more skills, practice and teamwork to the mix.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). One way we protect ourselves from unpleasant truths is self-delusion. If you find that you’re talking yourself into or out of a situation, consider that you may have a need that you’re not addressing. What is it? SAGITTARIUS ( Nov. 22- Dec. 21). Your compassion goes beyond what anyone would ask of you today. You demand this of yourself because you

sense that you can change the world a little bit with a few drops of your love. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Seek understanding. It won’t stop you from feeling the bad feelings or the good ones, either. But it will help you move gracefully through those feelings instead of clinging to any for too long.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your capacity for love grows with the love you give and also the love you receive. Those ratios must balance. You won’t be comfortable or aware enough to receive too much more than you know how to give, and vice versa.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just a little more analysis and you will finally figure out what’s going to fix the problem. The next step is in catering an approach that is uniquely designed for the person who can help you the most.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 6). It’s your year to bring the sunshine to your people. You’re only able to do this because you’ve weathered a few storms in life and you’ve learned the high value of cheerfulness. A financial boost in August will help you launch a business. September and November give you the education to do more great things. Cancer and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 9, 8, 33 and 49. ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: “I recently found out that I had a moon in Pisces when a friend did my chart. She said that was probably why I’m having a lot of emotional problems connecting with my boyfriend, who is a Gemini (May 23, 1981). Do you think that my moon could have something to do with it?”

The moon represents your emotional life and secret aspirations, and the danger of having your moon in Pisces is that you often have really deep feelings that you keep very hidden (especially when they’re of a romantic nature). To top it all off, you often take away impressions of events that are not actually accurate, and the void you feel between the two of you is not actually there. You and your Gemini man are having problems because he doesn’t know that you truly desire to be with him exclusively. His moon in Capricorn makes him emotionally complex, and not just a little afraid of being abandoned. Once he feels comfortable and committed in a relationship, he will prove to be endlessly loyal and loving. Shout it from the rooftops! Make a banner! Tell him you love him in any way you can! Once you do, I promise that yours will be a very happy union.
