Today’s horoscope, June 21: Strawberry moon sweetness

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

A feeling of success is much more important than any tangible evidence of it. Perhaps this is because there’s nothing in the material world that can really be owned, only used for a time. Maybe a feeling can’t be owned either, but there’s a sense of being touched on every surface of our core being as they wash over and through us this strawberry moon.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People aren’t always having the kind of fun it looks like they’re having. The inner dynamics of groups and parties can be very different from what’s projected. To be sensitive to this, and savvy about social illusions, is to have an edge.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). What seems like a risk to one person is the only option for someone in a different situation, and therefore a no-brainer. Before you get involved in an endeavor, learn where the players are coming from, how your situation is the same and how it is different.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Life is usually a trade-off, but today it’s just offerings and gifts. You won’t have to give up the old to get something new. All options exist side by side like sweet confections in a dessert case. You’ll have your cake and eat it, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s a creative high for you, with usual associations like writing or playing music, and extended variations of the art of life, too — like designing an experience for another person, or bringing together disparate elements in the name of worship, solutions or play.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Relationships may seem one-to-one, but they exist in a web. Each alteration relates to everything connected in the web. So new additions cause exponential change.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When there’s too much to do, nothing gets done well. This is why you’ll step back, survey the scene and decide on the single most important thing. Then you’ll not only execute the task, you’ll elevate it to an art form.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everything feels better when you can just be you. If you feel you must filter the picture or slant the story to favor yourself, it might say something about how well you’re connecting with the person you’re with. Are they capable of a deeper connection?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re leading things whether you realize it or not. When you’re comfortable, everyone around you will be comfortable. And how can you possibly relax with this much on your plate? Call in some backup and delegate a few tasks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll approach the day with an easy intelligence, naturally gravitating to the moves that are smart, graceful, logical and practical. It can all be accomplished without cracking a book or opening a case to see the inner working of things.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just because you can fit into a group doesn’t mean you should. Stick with the people who make you feel hopeful, curious and excited. And if you don’t know them yet, you will soon. Start the search tonight. Mingle in new places.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Because life moves and you move with it, you’re always going to be a different person when you sign up to do a thing from the person you are after the delivery. Predict whether future-you is going to be happy about what past-you signed up for.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ve a teacher’s heart and an instinct about people’s needs and potentials. You’ll be proud to see others making good use of the lessons you imparted. Knowing your contributions make a difference is an affirmation of your instinct.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 21). You have no idea about the intangible magic you wield except that people are drawn to your charisma and delighted by your company. It leads to many charmed outcomes, some you’ll take to the bank, some to the memoir. Even though you retrain yourself to stop thinking in terms of a destination and stick with the moment, Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 5, 16, 33 and 28.
