Daily Horoscope for Sunday, June 8, 2003

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions from 12:15 p.m. until 3:45 p.m. EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's important to pamper yourself today. Power struggles with others might erupt tomorrow. If you get your beauty rest today, you'll be more patient and in control when it comes to dealing with jerks. Take a mental-health day and smile a lot in the mirror.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today starts off in a playful mood however, it becomes squirrely mid-afternoon. Nevertheless, you'll feel more productive as the day wears on. Of course, you don't have to be productive -- that's your choice. (Hard work never killed anybody but why take a chance?)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today starts off in a pleasant vein, and then slowly shifts to a more serious artery. Naturally, both are illusory -- in truth, you are your state of mind. With the Sun in your sign now, it's your turn to re-energize and replenish yourself for the rest of the year.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You are best served today by keeping a low profile. You need more rest than unusual; and you need to avoid hassles. Give little thought to bleak feelings that occur this afternoon. This is just a temporary little, black cloud drifting over your head.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This isn't a very good day to shop. I mention this because that's exactly what you're tempted to do. Hassles and criticisms with authority figures ("Hi Mom") are likely. But they're small potatoes, really. The morning however, is pleasant, and a wonderful time to meet others for brunch.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Let's hope you got up early today, because this morning is pleasant and the afternoon is questionable. Don't try to do too much today. This could be one of those days where: for every action there is an equal and opposite criticism. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a reasonably pleasant day if you don't challenge authority figures, parents and bosses. Take your best shot but try to stay out of the rough. In the big picture, circumstances favour you now. Therefore, don't push your luck. Instead, alphabetize your blessings. (Think of at least 20.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

There is no question that you need to apply more patience to family members and your domestic scene at this time. That's because some kind of tension, conflict or chaos is present. This could be due to personality conflicts, renovations, or residential changes. Either way -- tolerance!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is not a good day to make important decisions about dividing up the loop. It's also a poor day to ask to borrow stuff from others. People are testy, and playing their cards close to their chest. Best to get out if you can and get some exercise.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Feelings of duty and obligation make you feel guilty if you sleep past noon. (Hopefully, you won't because it's a lovely morning!) Refrain from criticizing others. (That way they may lay off you. What goes around, comes around.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Try to get some physical exercise today. With fiery Mars in your sign, you have a lot of energy building up within you. If you don't give it a healthy avenue of release, it will build up and leak out as angry, little remarks or feelings of resentment to others.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a good day to putter around home. Socialize in the morning if you like, but play it more low-key this afternoon. Don't be critical of children. You were a kid once, too. (And the future's not what it used to be.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Entertainment personality Joan Rivers (b. 1933) shares your birthday. You are technically proficient and well versed in your field. You don't shy away from responsibility. Success is important to you and because of this, you will become successful according to your own terms. You need solitude to restore yourself. This year is full of exciting, fresh beginnings.
