26 MIDWEEK MARCH 17, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 14, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 14, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Expect a burst of optimism and sexy energy this week. We are lucky in love and
want the world to know. Give the best of you and get the best of others back.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
You have greater financial acumen now, Pisces. Your mind is centered and clear on the long-term prize of security. There are some people who can help, so vet their abilities carefully — ask the right questions and make your decisions. The next few months can pay off in valuable ways and prepare you for a cushier retirement.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries are not only celestial stars in their own galaxy, but their ample charisma also shines brightly across the cosmos. What are you going to do with all of this lovely energy? I suggest you use it to reach out and advance any beneficial personal project or goal that has been sitting on the shelf for too long. The world reaches out to you. Be sure to connect where and when you can.
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
There is good karma surrounding you now, Taurus. All of your efforts over the past few months can deliver greater rewards and comfort. Continue pushing good works and kind words. Times are still stressful and being the calm salve will help change minds and bring folks to much better states of mind. Meditate, make your best moves and thrive.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Not only are certain friendships especially important to you now, Gemini, but there are also those you will soon meet who will prove to be pivotal in your life going forward. So, keep your mind open and find new ways of reaching out and connecting with others. It may be time to join a new club or mine a new interest. Mingle (safely) and you will jingle.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Long-term plans suddenly get a boost, Cancer. What have you been mulling over for a while? Whatever it is, try to jump-start it now when the fates are listening and the world gets a little easier to navigate. This could be a career changer or a way to ask advice from a mentor. The path should become clearer.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
It has been a while since you really had a vacation, Leo, and it appears like opportunities to expand your horizon are at hand. Venture out, but do it safely, and see how you can break with your old routine and get into something dramatic, fun and mind-expanding. Maybe it’s an actual trip, or maybe it’s with virtual reality. Your choice.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
The combination of cosmic forces will not only make you especially sultry and sexy, but will also open up more possibilities for love. Don’t be shy, Virgo. You have it and should show it off in safe and fun ways. Others seem to seek you out, and you can have your choice of opportunities. But also reach out. This great energy doesn’t come around often.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Balance and diplomacy are part of your personality, Libra. You will put these wonderful attributes to good use now. Find ways to better connect with those close to you and try to establish areas of agreement and concord. Bonds with others will strengthen and, before you know it, even stressful relationships will feel less tense and happier. Happier is good.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Many of us have been thinking about health issues for a while and now, Scorpio, you may find that you can better cope and feel more energized. Concentrate on what you can do to get in a better health regimen, better diet and even a bit more exercise. It will have multiple benefits — beyond the physical to the mental and emotional.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
If you have been feeling a bit blocked creatively, now is the time to get back to the art of whatever lifts your spirits. Cooking, painting, dancing, acting, safely partying, and just being generally inspirational will enliven your life and give you extra oomph. And, we can always harness that extra oomph for other activities, Sagittarius.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
If your home life has been a bit too restricting or stressful, you will definitely see some relief now, Capricorn. Whatever has been holding you back may give you a little more slack. Whatever you need to tackle suddenly seems to give you an opening. So, focus on the close and near and prepare for a wider and expansive future.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Speak and others will follow, Aquarius. Your ability to schmooze and reach the masses has no parallel now — you are the voice of the people. What will you do with all of these bon mots and great ideas? Find ways to amplify your message. But plan carefully so that this ability lasts longer into the year.
