Mercury and Modernity
Mercury’s entrance into his trendy home of Gemini suggests that, while we’ve certainly been spared many of life’s hard knocks, and most definitely been spoiled by contemporary cushions and amenities, still in some ways we’ve endured complexities of modernity beyond what our ancestors could ever imagine. Extend compassion to yourself for this. It’s no small feat.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Often the highest, best and most correct thing is an unwanted choice that doesn’t look like much fun, but nonetheless delivers joy in the end. You’ll bear from your own plans because there is something more important to handle.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Typically, you strive to make things convenient for those around you, but the opposite approach works better today. Let them work for your approval. It’s a game, and games are no fun until they start to engage problem-solving skills.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You go in with the idea that something big is going to happen, and what happens is a small move toward something big that’s going to happen. Getting ready to do a thing is an essential step in getting it done.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Make it a priority to get more support. No resource will help you more than one person who sees you and understands your goals, challenges, talents and priorities. The belief in what is possible is the start to making it so.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is said that if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. It’s not because busy people are better than other people, rather it’s because they have momentum on their side. You know this and will be an example of it today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Official training and the attainment of a broad knowledge base is favored. The strategies of others will be helpful to know and adapt, but don’t use them straight out of the box. You’ll get far better results once you get into your own, unique groove.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing you feel you need to protect is what you should be protecting yourself from. Consider what you are giving your time to that does not seem to be paying you back in any way that makes a difference.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are moments that life plays out as though you’ve transcended the need to see yourself as a separate person. Your emotions are felt in the context of others. You don’t believe your experience is better unless theirs is, too.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Tools that don’t cost much will be better than the ones you pay for because the low-cost allows for carefree experimentation, which will bring about the best results. Also, if you pay too much for a tool, you’ll feel obligated to make it work even when it just doesn’t.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It happens more often than not: People think they want one thing, then order up another. Primal need and subconscious desire crouches in waiting for the opportunity to take over the controls, and it rarely misses.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You typically manage the luck you’re given, but when none is forthcoming, you don’t hesitate to conjure up your own. Your good fortune will begin with that posture of respect and reverence you so naturally extend to the things and people you cherish.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). How a person leaves a thing will say more about their character than how they got into it in the first place. Leave things better than they were. You want everything to end on a sweet note, sometimes with a big tip or a promise about the future.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 3). Essential needs will be filled all around, and your part in it gives you a profound sense of belonging. It’s as though you were destined to be part of the groups, people and endeavors that make your year so rich. More highlights: An adventure over water being reprised several times. Building financial resources for yourself and loved ones in a way that’s smart and fun. Taurus and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 7, 5, 21 and 15.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: Whether it’s on-the-ground reporting of breaking news events or participating in the beautiful family events of his personal life, Anderson Cooper presents in a style indicative of Gemini’s finest qualities — bright, wide-ranging intellect, charismatically conveyed.
