18 MIDWEEK JUNE 7, 2023
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, June 4, 2023 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, June 4, 2023
Our minds are activated on new things and our communication refocused over the next weeks. This means we should allow ourselves time to consider, think and plan as our ability to conjure up the best results soars.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Your charm knows no bounds and your innate ability to get what you want is on a high note. See how you can best position yourself, Gemini, and mine those contacts you now make into something valuable, useful and important for your future growth. Don’t procrastinate.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Whoever whispers into your ear will have your close attention, Cancer. The stirrings that are going on reveal some secrets and enable you to gain the advantage in almost any complex situation. It is an intuitive time, coupled with many more opportunities to do good deeds and increase your karmic points. It all pays off.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
The best way to manifest all of the good energy wafting through your chart now is to get more involved in social situations. You can do this
by joining clubs, arranging some parties or get togethers and generally getting out and moving about. Leos are expansive and open and you are the star social arranger and director.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
You find ways to merge contacts at work into friendships. This synergy between your professional and personal life is not only valuable but also affirming. Virgos need not silo themselves to try to fit into two different sides of their lives. Careful merging gives you greater balance.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
There will be times over the next few weeks where you are inspired to find new, innovative and possibly radical ways to get out of your routine and discover brand new things. Explore, Libra, and see what the world has to offer. It will not only engage your imagination, it may also prove to be very valuable in your career path.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Deep thinking on a range of important subjects takes you to places you only dreamed of going, Scorpio. Take some time to contemplate the deeper things in life, the areas that may have seemed too serious or uncomfortable to broach. Often when you peel away the layers, you find that things are actually simple to solve.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Your ability to take a relatively cool relationship and heat it up to a boil
is strong and powerful. So, Sagittarius, what will it be? Do you seek love, lust or a warm handshake? Now is the time to put your feelings in the forefront and carve a series of partnerships that reflect how you really feel and what you really want. Hooray!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Thinking about your job, what is it that you really enjoy and what aspects of it would you prefer to, ahem, delegate? You know what stirs your en- thusiasm Capricorn. Now is the time to parse out all of the responsibilities and see what you can do to craft the best overall job experience you can. The result will be gratifying.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Sometimes creating something fun is a bit more work than you might first think, Aquarius. But that is all part of the process. Give yourself some time to enjoy life, no matter how much effort it may take. You find a few helping hands to give you support. The most important thing is to find ways to be creative, rejuvenated and refreshed.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Family gatherings will not only be more enjoyable, they also give you a greater sense of stability. Pisces can figure out what they need to make their surroundings more secure. This all can lead to a home that embodies everything that makes you feel connected and happy.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries may sometimes talk first and think about the impact later. But now, you not only find the perfect way to sway others, you also eventually use your gift of gab to smooth over any family rough spots and fill any gaps. Be charming and diplomatic as you schmooze your way to domestic bliss. Who knows where this can lead? Ahh!
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Whatever needs to be done to cement your financial future, do it now, Taurus. Your uncanny ability to sniff out the best deal and then expertly negotiate an even better deal is now unsurpassed. Find ways to save money and make your purchases go even farther in personal value. This is the time to solidify and consolidate.
