Horoscope for Monday, June 09, 2025

Moon alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 6:45 to 10:15 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today has its challenges, especially with parents or older relatives. Family discussions might reflect this tension. Meanwhile, home repairs might require your focus. Nevertheless, because of the challenges today, if you can stay at home or work from home, life will be easier.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today, avoid arguments which might arise with Mercury in your House of Communications at odds with stern Saturn. You might be like a dog with a bone and refuse to let go of your point of view. Fortunately, Venus in your sign will smooth over difficulties.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a poor day for important financial negotiations because people will look for reasons not to do something instead of why to do it. Petty hesitations and criticisms might hold you back. Perhaps an older friend or member of a group will block you?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today Mercury in your sign is at odds with stern Saturn, which can make discussions with authority figures tough. However, it will sharpen your mind and make you mentally disciplined. Admittedly, you’ll be inclined to see the dark side of things, imperfections and flaws. Relax.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today your outlook on things might be bleak. You might feel pessimistic. You might also feel doubtful or slightly afraid of moving forward? Be aware that things look worse than they are today. Plus, problems are intensifying before Wednesday’s full moon. Stay chill.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be patient with friends and members of groups today because someone might oppose your ideas, especially about shared property, banking matters, loans or mortgages. It’s hard to get people on your side today. Accept this, and minimize your losses.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a poor day to ask for approval or permission from anyone in a position of authority — parents, bosses, teachers, VIPs and the police. Very likely, they’ll tell you to “talk to the hand.” Wait until next week to make your pitch. Think of your objective.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Do your homework, and get your facts straight before you challenge anyone at work today because you might get shot down. Be smart, and avoid controversial subjects. Even discussions related to your health or a pet might be discouraging. Tread carefully.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

With the moon in your sign today, you will probably feel a bit more emotional than usual. Nevertheless, your luck will slightly improve! Disputes about the cost of social occasions, outings, vacations and children might arise. Get your ducks in a row to defend your position.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A discussion with someone might discourage you. You might feel misunderstood or pessimistic. Knowing this, don’t push your agenda. Wait for a better day. However, because you have a disciplined mind today, you can do heavy mental work. Definitely.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Avoid squabbles with daily contacts about inconsequential things because what’s the upside? What are you trying to prove? Basically, your objective is to have a happy day. Same for others. Therefore, take the high road and go with the flow. Do something to enjoy yourself.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a tough day for romance. It’s also a tough day to deal with kids. People are inclined to be critical, and it’s very easy to feel like you’re just a piece of navel lint. Oy vey. Say it isn’t so.

If today is your birthday

Actress Natalie Portman (1981) shares your birthday. You are tenacious, intelligent and versatile and have high personal standards. This is a year of service, perhaps service to family. Take care of yourself because you will be of support to others, offering guidance, comfort, solace and courage. Personalize your home this year.
