Horoscopes: Tuesday, June 4, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Heavy realities are like dumbbells to weightlifting goals. They have little aesthetic appeal, and they are a grunting pain to deal with, but it’s an effective way to make the sinew do what you want it to.       

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Anyone can have a good attitude when things are going their way. It’s the people who maintain a sweet demeanor even when expectations have been dashed who really deserved the medal. You’ll give gems of acknowledgment.       

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People who talk about how useful they are but don’t follow through with action are worse than the ones who don’t get involved. At least the ones who say and give nothing don’t set up an expectation. There can be great grace in minding one’s own business.       

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you leave a conversation too early, you won’t get past the surface observations and niceties. And if you stay in it too long, things get way too interesting and intimate. Today, your sense of social timing will be impeccable.       

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). While putting too many eggs in one basket is never advised, right now, you’re less the farmer and more the bird, at your productive capacity for both eggs and receptacles. Just do what you can and hope for the best.       

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). What was once confusing to you is now easily sorted because you have taken the time to gain the knowledge and skill to discern exactly what you’re dealing with and how it is most expediently handled. You will be celebrated and paid for this.       

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a new, impressive someone. In the moments you prioritize this person, you feel changed. It’s too soon to tell the nature or duration of the influence, and that’s not important now anyway. Enjoy and explore.       

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The relationship between physical and emotional space will be highlighted. Where there is little room for people to have their own private spaces, emotional distancing kicks in. Mannerisms, devices, boundaries and sensory limits are all part of social management.       

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Getting to the next milestone will be extraordinarily simple — as simple as getting to an actual milestone, which involves being on the path and putting one foot in front of the other for a mile. Decide where you’re going, get on the road, and go there.       

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is an adjustment to be made, and likely, it’s a subtraction. Can you guess what you might need to lose along the path of desire? Try seeing it as a trade instead of a loss — the cost, the entry fee or the contribution that puts you on your preferred tier.       

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The reason why controlling people are not much fun is because their attempts to make life predictable squeeze the mystery out of the scene. Fun and surprise go together, and you’ll have both today because you dare to let go.       

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Maya Angelou said, “Every storm runs out of rain.” Because you’d rather experience the lovely drama of a weather system that cycles and dissipates than bear an ongoing, dreary damp season, you’ll embrace whatever feelings arise.       

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 4). Your personal life will be fond, and your intellectual life adventurous. More highlights: You’ll get to live in your preferences for long stretches and refine the tones, moods and styles that make your work attractive and thrilling. People will write about you. A stimulating hobby will unexpectedly develop in lucrative ways. Sagittarius and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 33, 4 and 19.
