Horoscopes: Wednesday, May 31, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s a game of “who done it?” today. The innocent can become rattled under questioning and seem guilty. And if the guilty people are seasoned, they can fool you with their calm. It will be better to acquit all than to accuse the wrong person.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your quick and confident answers are like a breath of fresh air. You don’t leave others gasping for your decision. And one of the reasons people like and trust you is that once you make up your mind, you tend to stick to it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You don’t understand the ones who show up just to get a paycheck. That’s not you. You want to enjoy the work and the people you work with. It’s a thrill to get things right, as you will several times today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re the star of a fairy tale today. You won’t find it too difficult to elude wolves, trolls or giants, but watch out for the candy houses. Avoiding monsters is easier than resisting sweet temptation.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll watch someone deftly handle the task that has you shaking in your boots. Eventually, experience will lead you to master the things you fear, just as it always has. For assurance, just look at all you’re already adept at!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Trust in your own solution-finding system, refined through past dilemmas. You’ll run a tight ship today. The crew respects your logical orders and believes in your ability to get everyone to the intended destination.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The ability and willingness to adapt must be exercised or it will go away. This is why you’re willing to adjust to new things, even absurd things. It’s better than the sameness that can lead to numbness, complacency or stagnation.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You see challenge as an opportunity for growth rather than an insurmountable obstacle. Remain adaptable and open to new experiences and opportunities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Abilities and intelligence can be developed through dedication and hard work. They can also be developed through avoiding responsibility and seeking an easier way. Keep an open mind. There’s a lot that’s not worth doing. What’s the smart, efficient way?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The playwright Moliere said, “Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.” He must not have been a fig lover. Sweetness doesn’t always have to take a long time. You should at least see signs of it early on in a process or relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a dreamy feel to the day as you notice details that don’t quite make sense, seem vividly strange or vaguely unreal. An earth sign will be your touchstone.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As long as you’re the one telling it, the story may as well be kind to you. This is especially true regarding stories you tell yourself. You’ve been too hard on yourself lately. Is there a more empowering version?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 31). Your cosmic birthday gift is a showcase for your many talents and relationships that reveal new depths of your personality. More highlights: exploring new avenues of knowledge and expanding your mind in exciting ways, family bonding and the attainment of a personal expectation that provides profound gratification. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 2, 10, 6 and 12.
