Nothing causes more misunderstanding than wanting, because it alters perception, warping the entire world around the object of desire. With everyone’s bent point of view, seeing eye to eye on anything is a wonder worth celebrating. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The act of wishing puts distance between you and an experience. What can you do to bring the experience closer to where you are? What can you do to have the experience (or a version of it) now? TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Talk to successful peers about your goals and challenges. Let them provide you with insights. It is in casual but purposeful conversation that you’ll get some of your best tactics. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may catch yourself fumbling through a speechless moment or failing to listen and respond as smoothly as you’d like. These instances only teach you to be more powerfully present in the future. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Emotions blend like colors, some indefinable, though no one will ask you to describe them anyway. For this reason, it’s even more important to check in with yourself about your feelings. Demonstrate a you-to-you friendship. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You read people’s moods and expressions and catch the vibes that people don’t even know they’re putting out there. This sensitivity will steer you toward helping others in a way most people wouldn’t think to. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You could effectively get your life in order from the inside out, but it’s easier to work from the outside in. As you clean and clear parts of your environment, your head becomes lighter, your spirit brighter. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t like to let weather deter you from your plans, and that’s why you move forward come rain or shine. The same is true for emotional weather. You’ll do what you set out to do regardless of mood. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A relationship gives your heart strong wings and emboldens you to soar with the eagles. This bird’s-eye view makes problems seem small. And the people, cars, buildings and cities... all miniaturized by high-flying love. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). True to form, you’re adventure-bound. This starts off well, partly because you are not worried about how it will end. You move forward with plenty of curiosity and very little expectation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Moments of feeling stuck are actually a gift – a signal to stop and get a sense of your environment. Where’s the wiggle room here? What can you move, or, more likely, let go of? AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The answer is hidden in plain sight. Only those who know what it is and how to use it will be able to. This week’s lessons are molding you into such a person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What seems like a good idea at first may not play well into the endgame. Think through your entire strategy before you make a move. It won’t go as you imagine, but there are many advantages to having a plan. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 6). Though the need for some degree of control over one’s environment is a high priority in humans, you’ll loosen your grip on the reins of life in order to perform tricks of flexibility and take financial and social risks. You’ll be gloriously supported and achieve aims that would not have been possible from a constricted hold. Sagittarius and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 2, 22 & 17. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS MONDAY, JUNE 7, 2021 Simple Advice for Gemini Season It’s pretty simple this Gemini season. Interactions create feeling. When it’s good, people come back for more. When it’s bad, they distance themselves. Attracting what you want is a matter of activating positive vibes around your relationship with it. Don’t worry about exactly how. Just set an intention and start moving. The rest will take care of itself. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The item is worth what people will pay for it, which is to say there is zero inherent worth, only what is perceived. You’ll drum up interest, demonstrate usefulness and make a sale. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Nothing is lost, though somewhere in this dance, things have drifted beyond reach. It gives you more room and reason to stretch yourself. You’ll have what you need when you need it. All is well. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The more fun you have, the more effective you’ll be with the serious work of the day. The improvisational spirit of play will be entwined with the mysterious magic of intuition. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You let go of one attachment and life gets instantly more interesting. Don’t rush to fill the void, because the offerings get even better the longer you can hold an opening. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You want many to be lifted by what you put into the world, and yet, if you’re too general, you’ll speak to no one. Focus on the core few who will really get what you’re offering and make the most of it. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Don’t wait for permission to move forward. Asking for it would only alert others to the fact that you don’t have it. Many assume you’re already in. And for those who don’t, intensity of purpose will be more valuable than permission. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to worry about who owns what. These things have a way of sorting themselves out. No effort to cling, save, hide or hoard can keep what belongs together from finding its way back together. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re fun to be around. The positive emotions you emit are a joy for others to soak in. Your good cheer is so constant those around you sometimes take it for granted. The appreciation of new people will invigorate. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Terms of endearment like “sweetie” and “honey” can come as a comfort from the lips of loved ones. Perhaps they can even more so coming from a perfect stranger today–a sign that the unknown world can be welcoming. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Avoid accidentally making a project of what’s going wrong. The more you study a topic, the more of that topic you’ll find to study. For this reason, your study of a thing that gives you energy will be better for your vitality. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The cost of having a thing is greater than your current accounting shows. What about the time involved? What about mental and emotional investment? You won’t know if it’s worth it until you consider the entire picture. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The inspiration strikes. You act on it, creating quickly by hand and then delivering it before you have time to second-guess yourself. This is a success formula to keep following all week. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 7). The best way to ensure that you get your piece of the pie is to make the pie yourself. Your gift from the stars will be a cosmic peach to get the recipe started. Many will gather around you, and your creations bring good times and fortification to all who share in the work. Financial growth and renovations happen, too. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 15, 35 & 22. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
