Horoscopes: Thursday, June 1, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Make sure you have the resources and permissions needed to finish a project before you start it. Also, things will go smoothly if you avoid power struggles with roles well defined and assigned.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Restraint is made easier with practice. You know how you’d like to behave and that’s a start. Run a simulation before the event. Repeat it until it’s natural to you. You’ll win people over and earn their respect and eventually their loyalty.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Just because you don’t aim at the thing you want doesn’t mean you’re aimless. In the case of living, breathing, thinking creatures, often an indirect approach is more effective. Remember, life is not always a straight line.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Take a detour; explore. Unexpected and rewarding experiences await. Don’t be afraid that you’re not where you’re meant to be. What if there are infinite universes? In that case, anywhere you are is an acceptable variation. Work it!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Regardless of how much schooling you have, no education is perfect. You’ll learn where the holes are by stepping in them. You’ll get the resources to fill in whatever blanks you can today, and the benefits will come almost instantly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You, dear Virgo, are on fire! Creativity will flow through your veins like an electric current. You’re the conduit, not the source, receiving without interference. Don’t rely on your memory; be ready to capture and record.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know what they say: familiarity breeds contempt. Spending too much time with your crew blinds you to the interesting and exciting people they really are. Fear not; fresh faces coming into your realm will be a real eye-opener.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Sometimes it seems like the good things are only happening to someone else. Here’s the thing: you’re “someone else” to someone else. Your gratitude for excellent circumstances will bring more of them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To live like a baller but still feel empty inside is not really success. To live within your means and feel fulfilled is to live your best life — in which case you can consider yourself a true success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The stillness isn’t always what it looks like. The inanimate will animate today. Like a seed, a buried issue will resurface unexpectedly. This is how you know things are alive and have potential.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Tough cookies can be sweet too. Since you see no need to assert your dominance, you’ll take a gentle approach, doing only what’s necessary. You’re so powerful that you don’t have to prove you have power.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Nature figures itself out. It’s when things are domesticated that they tend to get more complicated. You’re keenly aware of having to fit your wild nature into the boxes of societal norms and expectations. It only makes you appreciate nature more.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 1). A thrilling roller coaster of a year. Remember, your essence is not defined by wins and losses, which are just temporary circumstances, but instead by your character, which will be celebrated, developed and rewarded with every exciting twist and turn. More highlights: amazing connections; shared experiences designed by you go down as legendary; a huge check. Capricorn and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 2, 40 and 1.
