Daily Horoscope for Thursday, June 3, 2004

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 1 p.m. EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

After a tense couple of days, things begin to lighten up now. This Full Moon has peaked. (Although it's still doing its thing.) Today is a good day to test your dreams. What are your secret hopes regarding travel, publishing, studying, or working with the law or medicine? Ponder these.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a good day to consider what resources (especially those of your partner or somebody else) you have that you can rely on. Don't act on anything per se. Just do your mental math. What is out there beyond what you directly own that can help you in the near future?

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This might be a good day to smooth ruffled feathers with close friends and partners. Somebody probably got their belly in a rash recently. If others are still touchy -- say nothing. It's always best to discuss issues once people's emotional reactions have subsided. (Ya think?)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your efforts to make improvements to your job require the cooperation of others. (No man is an island, not even a peninsula.) If others resist you now, then wait. This is what you're good at. You are the most tenacious sign in the zodiac.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It's time to rouse the troops. Others are willing to help you now. Your enthusiasm and energy attract people to climb on board now. Face it -- you've got what it takes. And that's charisma, baby. You're ruled by the Sun, and when the Sun shines -- everybody plays.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You're successful directing the efforts of others now or joining group activities to accomplish things. Because the Sun is at high noon in your chart now, the spotlight is on you. People will actually do what you say. (How novel.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your verbal skills are hot today. (Actually, you're always smooth verbally. You're a people watcher, so you learned it all when you were young.) Travel, publishing and the media are a big focus for you. Talk freely to others today. Brainstorm your ideas.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're really into money, property and possessions right now. You've got stuff you want to sort out. Today is not the day to act -- just do your homework. You're definitely tempted to shop. Check All Signs above. That is the most important sentence in this column. Daily.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The Moon is in your sign. But Sun and Venus oppose you. The butter is in the fridge and the dishes are in the sink. The question is -- where's the money? In your wallet? In the bank? Or out there floating around waiting to come to you? The money is always there -- it just changes pockets.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

It hasn't been easy this week. Lord knows you're working hard. In fact, you're trying to do it all. But partners, friends or clients have been difficult. Don't try to promote your ideas today. Take a step back. Hide in the wings if you can. You need a breather.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A conversation with a friend could become animated and lively today. It could also be flirtatious. You're unusually playful now. You want to have fun and be free to do your own thing. But matters at work are starting to make you do a slow boil. Yet somehow -- you can't express this out loud. (Grrr.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Everything you do seems to catch the public eye. You're on Candid Camera whether you want to be or not. Parents must be patient with children this week. Try to remember what it was like when you were a kid. (Cause you were.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Beat poet/writer Allen Ginsberg (1926) shares your birthday. You have poetry in your soul. You're convincing, witty and extremely persuasive. Your original style of expression allows you to communicate effectively to others and make a living doing so. You're a fast learner and a linguist. The year ahead is highly social; it promotes close relationships.
