22 MIDWEEK FEBRUARY 24, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 14, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 14, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
March forward this week. Our actions become more strategic and powerful as the weeks progress. Let’s figure out a plan and see where we can take it.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
It feels like the stars are realigning for you, Pisces. Hidden barriers seem to fall away, and you have a sense of cosmic knowledge that gives you direction. Good. Keep mining your intuition through meditation or other mind-expanding exercises. It can also bring you closer to family and give you greater comfort in your immediate surroundings.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
While friends and their powerful associations have always been an option for you, it might have been hard to convince them to take action for your benefit lately. Don’t take it personally, Aries. You might try asking for help again. Pals may be more receptive. Give it a go.
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
If you’ve been feeling especially stagnant lately, Taurus, chalk it up to a tem- porary lull and begin again to implement any money-making, career-ori- ented plans. The path opens up a bit and opportunities for advancement may make themselves attainable. The sky is the limit and your ability to make impressive gains are sharp.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Geminis are very social beings and so the past few months might have been especially confining. But now, anything that you can do to open your social calendar and connect globally becomes easy and fun. You shine and can understand how important personal connections are to your sense of well-being. Be a force for good and feel better.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
See how easy it is to turn up the romantic heat, Cancer? It comes so naturally to you! Check out your long list of admirers and a few secretive persons of interest. Then ramp up your sexiest vibes now as life can become very interesting and delightful. There is something about you that is irresistible.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Any relationship conflict seems to disappear as the week progresses, Leo. Somehow you find a way to break through and reach a compromise or,
if you are especially adept, a solution that really benefits you alone. It is advisable to be generous with others and plant seeds for future cooperation. You never know when you will need that boost.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Even if you don’t realize it at this time, you are highly connected and re- spected by others. This professional power will become more evident as you focus more on the nitty-gritty details of any work project. Suddenly, you see how much others want to work with and learn from you. Use this prestige to not only help others but also build for your strong future.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras are not only highly creative but can also use their artistry to attract others. This powerful combination comes into the fore now as your inspira- tion soars. Mine your imagination and see how you can develop a following. You may become an internet celebrity or an influencer. See where your muse takes you and become very amusing.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Any family stress may begin to dissipate, Scorpio. It can mean that you solved the problem, or it can mean that others more fully understand what is expected of them. As soon as the dust settles, try to turn your attention to making your home surroundings more relaxing and comfortable. You can go from the emotional to the practical with ease. Spring into action.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
There is probably nothing more frustrating to a Sagittarius as not being heard. And that is why this week heralds in a very satisfying time for you. You find ways of crafting your message to not only make others really listen but also to understand. So, get your personal message out and take your life to the next big step. Practice in the mirror, charmer.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
While money might have been tight and future finances a source of concern, Capricorns may find that this week brings in a time of practical and workable solutions. If you can focus on what you really need, you find many workable options and directions. Do your research carefully. Then, put on your financial thinking cap and see what great ideas emerge.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
This is a good time to take a full reassessment of where you are and where you want to go, Aquarius. You stand on the threshold of greatness with several possible directions. While past efforts might have hit snags, there appear to be some new, inspiring and creative opportunities available to you. What will the rest of the year bring? Only you know.
