Your Daily Horoscope for Friday, June 1

Your materialistic side comes out today -- the sensual part of you that loves touching fine things, or better yet, owning them. Yes, you have an indulgent streak! And if you work hard today, there's no reason you shouldn't play a little, too. Set a goal for yourself -- whatever you'd like to accomplish by the end of the day -- and then determine the reward you'll give yourself for reaching that goal. You deserve it!

Gemini

May 21-June 21

Do you have a strategy for whatever you're trying to accomplish today? You should. It's a mistake to think you'll just wing it. Under the current cosmic energy, that's not going to fly! Put in the time and effort required to do your research and make a plan. Your goals might change as you go through this process, but that's a good thing. That's how you narrow things down to a workable plan.

Cancer

June 22-July 22

Being responsible is rarely a problem for you, since fulfilling your duties is just part of your nature. Today, that's even more true. You're conscious of the future, and what it will take to ensure yours is stable and comfortable. That might mean working toward a better career or a larger nest egg in the bank, both of which are excellent goals. Have confidence that you'll do what it takes to reach them.

Leo

July 23-August 22

Your career may be on your mind today. Perhaps you're thinking of the work you wish you could be doing, or the promotion you wish you could have. If so, start turning those dreams into a reality. Realistic, focused efforts are rewarded now. Sitting around and daydreaming, or sighing over missed opportunities, is not! If you want that sparkling future you've envisioned, you have to create it. Get to work!

Virgo

August 23-September 22

Focus is your friend today. You're extra goal-oriented, making it a great time to set long-range plans. Think not just a month or a year down the road, but five or ten years. What do you want to accomplish? Each step you take now moves you toward an uncertain future. You may not be able to control the future, but you have a lot of control over your current choices and activities.

Libra

September 23-October 22

Living up to expectations is extra important today. Thank goodness, this shouldn't be too difficult for you. Neither should digging down to find your self-discipline. You're conscious of what others require of you, after all. And you want to fulfil their wishes. Still, it's a good idea to think about what you want and need, too. You're working toward your own future, after all. Fulfil your duties to yourself as well as others.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 22

When it comes to important things like career, family and long-term security, you have a natural sense of caution that keeps you from taking the wrong step. Most people don't even realise what a careful, guarded person you really are! Today, that quality is enhanced by the cosmos. This makes it a great time to take a calculated risk of some kind. You'll do your homework and make it pay off.

Sagittarius

November 23-December 20

Stay focused today. Waffling around as you try to decide on a direction isn't favoured. Wasting any resource, including time, isn't a good idea right now. That's where careful planning comes in handy. You aren't much of a planner, since you appreciate the flexibility of leaving things open. But making a list of all your tasks for the day, or thinking through a project before you begin it, saves so much effort.

Capricorn

December 21-January 19

Your already strong sense of duty increases today. So does your respect for rules and regulations -- or your insistence on them. The current mood is sober, but it's still wise to keep your flexibility and sense of humour intact. If things don't go exactly according to plan, stay loose and come up with Plan B. If folks don't follow your instructions to a T, trust them to get it right anyway.

Aquarius

January 20-February 18

You may have to curb your experimental nature today. Taking risks isn't favoured -- at least, not uncalculated ones. If you've done your research and you have a strong, well-founded sense that things will go according to your theory, then go ahead and test it out. But that's a good way to approach any activity or project today: Take the time to do your homework first, before striking out into unknown territory.

Pisces

February 19-March 20

Think strategically today. An important goal swells in importance, and your task is to think like a go-getter -- even if this isn't up your alley. This doesn't mean you have to push other people around in a drive for power. In fact, it probably means determining which allies you want on your side, so you can go about recruiting them. It's easier to stay driven when you have support!
