Horoscope: June 9

Aries (March 21-April 19): You may fall behind, but get back in step as soon as you are able. It is impossible to tell how great you are when things come too easily.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Whatever mood you strike, it gets magnified about a hundred times by the afternoon.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You have an audience, and they have expectations. You’ll give them what they want, but not in the way they think it will happen.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You can’t control others, but if you understand them, you will know better how to deal.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You put people in a happy mood. You answer their objections. You give them what they’re looking for.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Attack your work backward, inside out or upside down — any other way than normal.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): When you think that you need someone more than this person needs you, he or she can feel it.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your charisma comes from being direct. Get to the point. No waffling.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Apply your considerable imaginative powers to a personal problem. Lose yourself in the world you create in your head.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be mixing it up, boldly saying what you mean, whether or not it’s part of the protocol.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): When an unusual situation crops up, it’s only appropriate to act in an unusual way.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Should you be the leader? You’ll certainly be the best one for the job. You just have to get to the point and tell the truth.

Today’s birthday (June 9): Your dreams are lofty. Then again, the resources, talent and perfect strategic plan are in your possession at this very moment. Do what you can with what you have, and make huge progress through the next seven weeks. September brings a windfall. Loving commitments are sealed in November. Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 11, 21 and 19.
