Those who have yet to claim a desired destination do not need directions. They need knowledge of their options. The sharing spirit of an informative Aquarius moon will get people talking, putting new ideas in accessible reach. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The obstacle to happiness is a habit of not liking things and disapproving of what’s going on. There’s no point in judging the scene. No good comes out of it. If something is not for you, leave to find what is. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). To admire an animal is to be changed by it as you share in its spirit for a moment. Animal experiences can widen your perspective or inspire you to go the opposite direction by narrowing your focus to that which truly matters. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Daydreaming is so lucky for you, but it’s not like you can do it on command. You need a relaxed vibe and a stretch of unstructured time. A flight of fancy will contribute to your happiness now and in the future. CANCER (June 22-July 22). If you’re going to nothing, then you’ll do it in a state of readiness. You’ll be alert and observant. In this mode, doing nothing is not inaction; rather, it just might be the best action. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Curiosity can only exist in a state of security. Where trust is lacking, there will be no questions, only the answer of defensiveness. To increase engagement, increase safety. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pain, like a hot pan, teaches you to let go, and quick. Consider that there may be no special technique to learn here, and neither is there anything to work through. All you have to do is drop it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re in a mood to make things. Set aside time to work on this. What happens next is amazing. Ideas flow; the good ones rise like cream; and you’ll merge with the richness of the creative spirit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People irritate. They don’t mean to. In fact, they can accomplish maximum irritation without effort or even conscious knowledge of their effect. Of course, the true origin of annoyance is born in the annoyed, not the annoyer. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One thing that keeps you from making friends is your worry that you’ll be obligated to a more involved relationship than you want. Today’s gift is one of mutual expectations. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The old beliefs just don’t fit. Consider that maybe you don’t need new beliefs to take their place. Perhaps what’s needed is actually a lack of belief – a space that creates a vacuum for bigger and better things. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Though at times it’s right to dive in before you can talk yourself out of action, right now a more thoughtful approach is favored. Make plans. The thought process will bring you to a confident place. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re still looking for something to take away the sting of the past. Many available coping options are modes of survival versus life enhancers. Experiment. Make no commitments. Where possible, try before you buy. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 30). You might say that your birthday gift is a cosmic bulldozer for your obstacles. A lot clears out of your way before August, and with very little effort from you. All you have to do is state your intention and let your brilliance flow. Subsequently, relationships, habits and new lifestyle frameworks are among the things you build. Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 2, 4 and 14. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS MONDAY, MAY 31, 2021 Zipper Moon When a crowd filters into a line, it is the natural instinct of humans to fall into an alternating line and merge, also known as the zipper. It’s just one of many ways we enact the spirit of cooperation that is in our DNA. The Aquarius moon reminds us that when we encounter antisocial behavior, it is the exception, not the rule. Teamwork is our true default. ARIES (March 21-April 19). In the same way you can’t make up a nickname for yourself, your reputation is up to other people to decide. Any detectable shaping of that will have an effect opposite than intended. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll experience a friendship luxury. You’ll bring your half-formed ideas and your knottiest dilemmas to the one you trust implicitly and have an exciting, intelligent conversation about it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What happens in your personal life can also be seen through the wider lens of society. In fact, you’ll notice how your actions play into the politics of these times. It seems there are no purely personal choices to be made. CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s a reason you keep coming back. You wouldn’t return unless it was doing something for you. If this is an unwanted cycle, it’s an ideal time to brainstorm: What am I getting out of it? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you’re already playing at a higher level, some consider the quest for more to be greedy. You see it as a continuance of your education. You desire improvement without hating where you’re at. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Many people learn best by doing, and for good reason. In action, you can feel the excitement of each move, the thrill of getting it right and the pain of doing it wrong. You’re brave, and you want to learn quick. Throw yourself in. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Harmony depends on not only hitting certain tones but also doing so in the right timing with others. You nail it. You pace yourself so timetables can match up – between friends, colleagues, professional allies and more. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Surface qualities may attract a relationship, but they won’t carry it. You want to connect with, help and learn from others, and it requires you to bring much more consideration and effort to the table. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The future knows how it wants to look and will defy any image of it you’ve created in your mind’s eye. Don’t let this stop you from dreaming, though. Your influence over the future, while not absolute, is still significant. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Inside every stage of life is many seasons. To gain, lose, molt, flower, fruit and more will happen again and again. All the gains and losses of today will be for the short term. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It is too much to ask yourself to muscle down and do a thing without support. At the very least, support yourself by creating an environment that is conducive to accomplishing the aim. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Understanding is a kind of pleasure akin to fitting the right puzzle piece into a hole. It’s even more satisfying when you are seeking to understand and it finally happens, which is what occurs today. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 31). You break into new territory and make the rules. As the founder of the culture, you’ll ask excellent questions like, “What would this scene be if we all do it this way?” You’ll follow through, and in years to come, they’ll tell the story. The deeper you go into an interest, the happier you become. Interpersonal agreements are enriched. Aries and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 3, 1 and 17. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
