Luck maker

Make every day special

Lucky people understand that every day in their lives, including those that are without highlights, is unique and special; they never waste an opportunity to feel positive and upbeat about their lives.

Analytical and intense, people born on June 2 have a talent for unraveling complicated situations. Their lives are rarely problem-free, but they would have it no other way. They are at their happiest when they are testing their ingenuity; if life won’t present them with problems to overcome, their natural response is to seek them out.

Their lives rarely run smoothly but they thrive during times of crisis; as quick-witted individuals who can readily analyze and adapt to a situation, they often devise an effective solution or course of action. They can be the lifesavers who restore order, but their addiction to new stimuli or challenges can also work against them by unnecessarily complicating their lives and their relationships when things are running smoothly. Co-workers, for example, may resent their habit of playing devil’s advocate and injecting difficulties into simple procedures; when a close relationship is going well they may develop bad habits like lateness or disorganization that threaten it.

The enthusiasm they have for problems and complications can attract them to people and causes that are troubled or unworthy. It is important that they remember the greatest challenge of all for them does not lie in the outside world but in getting to know themselves better. Between the ages of nineteen and forty-ninethere are numerous opportunities for them to become more emotionally aware and tuned into themselves. They should take advantage of these because they offer great potential for fulfillment. After the age of fifty they enter a period of growing vitality and confidence.

If they can learn to focus less on external stimuli for a sense of fulfillment and more on their own talents and imaginative powers, their potential for success in whatever area of life they choose to focus on is limitless because they have highly developed intuitive powers. When directed to a cause that is worthy of them, these intuitive powers will lead them toward the satisfying sense of fulfillment that can only be gained from accessing their own unique and potentially spell-binding creativity.

On the dark side

Self-defeating, restless, complicated

At your best

Intuitive, inventive, adaptable

Love Don’t try to change others, change yourself

People born on June 2 may find themselves involved in difficult or testing relationship after relationship, but the only way for them to break out of this cycle is to understand that they cannot change others, they can only change themselves. When they do find a partner they love and who loves them back in turn, they must resist the temptation to cultivate excitement by creating tension.

Health Bon appétit!

People born on this day may have a tendency to gain weight and, because they love to dine out regularly, this can be extremely frustrating for them. Instead of going on fad diets, the best approach is to cut down on saturated fat, sugar, salt, processed and refined foods, and increase their intake of natural foods, particularly fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and oily fish. If this healthy, natural diet is combined with regular moderate to vigorous exercise, they will find that they can continue to entertain, dine out and party without the pounds piling on; although they should stay away as much as possible from rich sauces and red meat. Like many people born in early June they are prone to nervous exhaustion, so regular vacations and periods of rest and relaxation are essential. Wearing, meditating on and surrounding themselves with the color green will encourage them to feel more harmonious and balanced.

Career Born troubleshooters

These people thrive in careers that allow them autonomy in thought and action. They may find themselves drawn to the artistic sphere—especially as performers—and also to scientific research or as corporate troubleshooters or consultants. They also make excellent buyers, agents or negotiators, and their humanitarian streak may draw them to counseling.

Destiny To inspire others with their resilience, ingenuity and flair

The life path of people born on this day is to learn that change begins from the inside out. Once they are able to understand that life-changing fact, their destiny is to influence, motivate and inspire others with their resilience, ingenuity and flair.
