Horoscopes: Friday, June 2, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You take pride in your ability to accurately assess a situation. To hang back and watch isn’t a passive position at all. It takes a great deal of energy to observe well. You’ll focus up and absorb it all.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Whatever you’ve achieved, you are still capable of more. There are many ways to be great, the most important of which (like great compassion and great patience) often go unlauded, but you won’t let that deter you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At first it seems things are getting out of hand, then the realization sets in: they were never in your hands to begin with. Let this come as a relief. The illusion of control can be comforting, but there’s deeper comfort in faith.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Statements and questions don’t always come in words. There are actions that are questions, and actions that are answers. Be keen to recognize the difference and you’ll know how to respond to people who are testing you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Good scheduling and pacing are your keys to happiness. When there’s not enough on a calendar, the buildup to an event can turn it into a bigger deal than it should be. When there’s too much on the books, it’s hard to relax into each event.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). For whatever reason, you still have to remind yourself from time to time that your feelings are important. You have something to say that will be vital to the way things will unfold for you and everyone around you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Customization will be the key to your success today. How can you make your life fit you better? As it goes with tailoring, small tweaks can make a big difference. This also applies to the things you do for others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mystified by your own behavior? Welcome to the complexity of your humanity. Just remember that each facet of you is just one among many, trying to be heard. Acceptance and curiosity facilitate the conversation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While it is frustrating not to get what you want, anyone who’s been depressed knows that desire itself can be a gift. Appetites signal vitality. Wanting teaches us who we are and what we like. Celebrate your drive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The seasoned clown doesn’t always go for the laugh. They are strategic and will sometimes kill the chuckles to build to bigger payoffs later. You will employ similar advanced techniques toward the outcome you have in mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your fun impacts not only you, but the general vibe and direction of a whole scene. If you knew that kindling joy for yourself would bring sunshine to a hundred other people, what would you do to accomplish it?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Confucius says there is beauty everywhere, but not everyone can see it. That tug you feel is the pull of responsibility as you realize it’s up to you to frame the beauty you see to make it accessible to those who would otherwise overlook it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 2). Your cosmic birthday gift is the idea that you don’t always have to have a goal. Sometimes the point is no point. Embrace it and everything becomes fun. More highlights: You’ll step out of your comfort zone and take risks. You’ll jump at the chance to travel, and no idea is too crazy for you to make happen. Incredible new experiences await. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 10, 2, 33 and 14.
