Horoscopes: Sunday, June 9, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Life works out. Love happens. These things occur in their own timing, and your trust is stronger today. You know that you can’t force things and trying to would bring unnecessary complications, so you loosen your grip.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a need lurking beneath the request that’s made of you. If you don’t sense and address the need, no matter how you fulfill the request, it will be wrong. But if you address the need, the request will change or disappear entirely.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Love will make you even more flexible than you are because your willingness to accommodate another person keeps you moving and doing things you wouldn’t otherwise.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Share your ideas and predictions as they will prove prescient, and when they come true, you’ll want proof that they were realities in your mind before they were objective realities.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most people have some kind of inner war to wage, and you certainly do too now, but at least you realize that on one side of the battle is you, and on the other side is also you. So you can keep on if you want, or you can call a truce.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You prefer to be low-key and you like being around people who accept you how you are. If you feel you must posture or exaggerate your qualities to be accepted, it’s a red flag about the other person. Maybe they don’t make you feel seen.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll have a keen instinct about what matters and how to preserve it, too. You’ll cut out what’s petty and unimportant and encapsulate and celebrate what’s silly, rare and worth cherishing.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may be feeling underconfident, but that’s OK. From this position you’ll be inclined to work harder, pay more attention and check your work with greater care. It’s far better to be underconfident than over.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). As cool as you are, there’s still a slight uptick in adrenaline the first time you talk to someone, as is nature’s way of giving you the energy to either turn on the charm or turn around and run, depending on how the interaction goes.        

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When things don’t work and you don’t know why, you are far from the solution. But if you can see what’s not working — where the catch is that’s keeping things from going smoothly — it’s something to celebrate. You’re closer to finding the answers.        

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today requires you to prioritize as though you were stovetop cooking — the back burner is for simmering. And remember, even the lowest heat needs some amount of tending. Everything needs to be stirred from time to time.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you make a commitment, you make sure you have the time, resources and follow-through to keep it. Scheduling is key. Not everyone is as serious as you about commitments. Happiness is releasing your expectation of them.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 9). You’ll feel liberated to be whoever you want to be and to experiment and change it up as often as you like. But when you’re sure of a goal, you’ll stick with it until it’s in hand. You’ve a talent for self-direction this year and will excel where the lesser disciplined fail. More highlights: The energy you put into your love life will zing back around and fortify you. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 5, 23, 3 and 15.
