HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, June 5, 2022. Today feels dreary. The weight of our responsibilities and the current state of global affairs will be hard to ignore. Many of us might be experiencing a deep sense of dissatisfaction and feeling overwhelmed today, which will prompt us to make self-care a priority. As part of this practice in self-nurturing and nourishment, recognising our limits and respecting them will be important. Perhaps this means asking for help when needed or keeping our workload down to a manageable level. Meanwhile, we might need to exercise some patience, objectivity and good listening skills while trying to talk to or connect with others.

ARIES (March 21 – April 19): Be mindful of spending your money too quickly — if you can help it. Consider some small, doable steps you can take to improve your long-term financial future.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20): If you’re feeling stuck, look to your partner or friend for insight. They can help you see just how many options you have available to you.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20): Avoid getting too carried away with a plan or idea. If you want to execute it successfully, take it one step at a time.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22): Don’t assume that someone else is more gifted or talented than you are. Instead of worrying about them, celebrate what makes you special.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22): You’re swamped with work and responsibilities today. Treat yourself with care. If there’s a project you need to walk away from, don’t feel too bad.

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22): Try not to get stuck in your head worrying about the future. What are some more positive things that you can focus on?

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22): Don’t continue to stay in a situation you’ve outgrown. It’s time to move on to something better.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21): Trust that being honest with someone about who you are or what you’re feeling will strengthen the connection. It won’t weaken it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21): You don’t always have to be on or busy. Take some time out to rest. A break now and then will do you good.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19): Allow yourself to lean on a friend today. You need the support, and you’ll be better off with it.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18): A family matter could have you stressed. This might be a cue to give more care to your emotional well-being or work on releasing the past.

PISCES (Feb 19 – March 20): You’re most likely feeling scattered today. Step away from the fray for a little bit and take some time to clear your head. Being outdoors can help.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re a profound thinker. While you’re not a fan of small talk, you enjoy conversations with depth and substance. You’re a no-nonsense kind of a person. When you talk, people listen. It’s because you’re always dropping a nugget of wisdom or offering some useful and practical advice. You’re self-willed. You succeed because of how hard you push yourself. The only time you quit is when the work is done. You stick by your friends and family no matter what. This year, you’re able to accomplish more when you put extra time into nourishing your mind, soul and body.

Birthdate of: Kenny G, saxophonist/composer; Brian McKnight, singer-songwriter; Nick Kroll, actor/comedian.
