Mars in the lion’s den recalls the legendary tale of a boy named Daniel who was received in such a den by lions who greeted and licked him like faithful dogs upon their master’s return. The message: Supposedly fearsome circumstances will be surprisingly benign. ARIES (March 21-April 19). The show mattered while it was happening but now the recap matters more. That’s what you’ll be building on going forward. Take a moment to decide what you can use about your recent experience. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). After doing the same thing for several days in a row and getting good results, suddenly things compounded and got exponentially greater. You will soon hit a point of diminishing returns – a signal to change it up. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You know your boundaries in theory, but the map of a place is not a place. You have to be standing on the ground to really understand where the limits are. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Peer pressure is an actual force, as real as barometric, gauge or differential pressure. Furthermore, peer pressure has just as much influence as it did when you were 7, which is all the more reason to seek kind friends. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve a chance to become the champion of a person or idea. Better to give too much than too little to this. You’ll never have to look back and wonder if you could have done more. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Not everyone who smiles is happy. You can tell the difference though, and you’ll speak to the hidden heart, offering the fortification of warmth and the sense of belonging that comes from being truly seen and accepted. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Every situation has potentials worthy of your curiosity, exploration and effort. Knowing where they are is a matter of dropping your preconceived notions and staying alert on every level, especially the intuitive one. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Things are happening, though perhaps not with the intensity, depth or profitability that you expected from the situation. Appreciate whatever results you get, however meager. It’s something to build on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s the outside world giving you the motivation to improve, and there will be concrete benefits to reaching a certain goal by a particular day. The internal drive will kick in midway through this effort. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Steady progress is the usual way, but the current project is strange in this regard. Expect an erratic rhythm. In this case, nothing happens for a long time, and then, suddenly, it all seems to be happening at once. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s enough to focus on here, so the fact that you are participating in other dimensions simultaneously doesn’t seem relevant to you. Even so, the intuitive knowledge you receive will be worth considering as a viable option. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have several projects going at once and could conceivably bounce around them without accomplishing much to speak of. For best results, choose one focus and stick with it until a meaningful marker is hit. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 11). You’ll have big ideas and effective strategies, too, but your real superpower is your power to attract the people who can share your dream and get it done. You’ll communicate better than ever, and then step out of the way to let every star play their part. How you multiply resources for yourself and others will be miraculous. Aries and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 26, 30, 44 and 29. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 2021 Domestic Moon Your body, clothes, home, neighborhood and everywhere you go in the world is an environment covered with great focus under the Cancer moon. Your preferences, comforts and the aspects of your environs that give you ease or restriction will stand out as something that requires your effort. Maintain what’s working and change what’s not. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Being appreciated for your image and not your essence is still being appreciated. It’s not ideal, but this is power nonetheless, and you can use it to get closer to what you really want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can make things happen with your mind, but do it with your whole self instead or you’ll miss out on the best parts. Without a physical component, experience is like a dream, easily forgotten by first light. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What’s less relaxing than someone telling you to relax? Less responsible people are usually the ones saying it. Sometimes, life warrants a reaction! You’ll relax when you’re good and ready, after the situation is handled. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Be careful what you attach your emotions to now because the information will be neutral until someone starts taking things a certain way. When your identity isn’t wrapped up in the situation, it’s easy to perform well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This isn’t a rut. This is dormancy. Just because the action isn’t showy like a flower or juicy like fruit doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Like a seed, you’ll conserve energy until better cultural conditions come around. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Let the others pontificate and wax philosophical. You get the gist of what’s going on and that’s all you need to know to act. The winning move is practical, swift and complete. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The world is complex, and nothing is effectively assessed by itself. The larger context not only matters, sometimes it’s everything. Your sophisticated mind can make room for several conflicting ideas at once, no problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Others will be inspired by the way you execute your plans. They will be motivated to apply your example in their own lives. Does it fortify you to know that you elevate the group just by being your best self? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Here’s a rule of adulthood you have to remind yourself of from time to time (as it goes against what you once believed) and that’s the liberating truth that life doesn’t have to be fair to be good. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Everything good will be accomplished by simply knowing the next right thing to do and then doing it. Distractions will abound. Don’t let them get in the way. Turn off notifications. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When stressors have your mind racing forward and backward, the present moment, though ever-present, can seem somehow distant. Focus on the sight, sound and feeling of right now. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are those who would indulge you – not what you want. You’d rather be challenged and sharpened by the people around you. You’re skeptical of flattery and prefer the company of those whose attention you must earn. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 12). Without seeking power you will have it because of how people see you. It’s wonderful to be needed and wanted. You’ll know what it’s like to have people fight over you. There will be great joy in an endeavor that allows you to help others find and develop their gifts. You’ll make money when others apply your teaching. Libra and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 22, 8, 17, 18 and 40. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS
