Have you ever responded to a domestic dispute? One doesn't beat the shit out of herself. It usually is at the hands of her husband, especially when they are foreigners from Central Asia, the Middle East, and Mexico. It's worse with those from Mexico because there is usually alcohol abuse by the offender and weapons.

Daily Horoscope for June 3

Capricorn

You're much more positive than you were yesterday, which is a relief for both you and me! At least this will help you to take action, instead of sitting around feeling helpless or panicky. Right now you're interested in philosophical, spiritual and religious topics, and hope that they'll help you get more meaning out of life and they'll reveal why you're experiencing your current problems.
