22 MIDWEEK APRIL 21, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 18, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 18, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The cosmos accelerate our lives in many different ways. Big changes are in the stars and not a moment too soon!
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
Expand your world and make it bold, beautiful and a bit unpredictable, Taurus. It’s the only way you can break free of old routines that seem to hold you down and tire you out. The world begins to beckon, and you have some great ideas to propel yourself right into the center of it. Travel physically or virtually and expand your vision.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Financial planning can go into overdrive as monumental decisions have to be made so you can go forward in certain areas of your life. You have big plans but need the budgets to make them realities. Look at the big picture, Gemini, and figure out how much you need to make your dreams come true. Life is too short to waste your time any more.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Cancers who have been in their shells may yearn to break free and express themselves. But, will your newfound oomph clash with or complement your partner’s needs? You will soon find out. My advice is to find balance and compromise so both of you can enjoy all types of activities together. For those looking for a connection, seek and you will find.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Start your spring cleaning now, Leo. There is a lot of physical and psychic debris that can use a bit of stirring up. Before you know it, you feel more open and free, and it will open up more space in your house.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Connection in all of its forms figure prominently for you now, Virgo. From friends to friends-of-friends and acquaintances, it will seem that you will be part of a much bigger crowd. Try to be discerning with who and where you spend your time. You have only so much bandwidth and want each interaction to be special, inspirational and fun.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
The balance between your long-term goals and where you currently live may be ready for a readjustment, Libra. This could mean a physical move, or it could mean a refreshing transformation of your home environment from decoration to renovation. If you feel like the walls are closing in on you, this could be the time to push out and do something dramatic.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Expand your mind, Scorpio. Life should never be restrictive or boring. Draw upon your energy reserves and open up your front door to new opportuni- ties. This may be a good time to plan your next vacation, whether it is virtual or in person. Or, you can embark on a new course of study. Shake the dust off and get your dancing shoes on.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Sagittarians seem to have a lot on their minds from revving up their love life to turning a laser focus on finances. There is a buzzy energy running through your life now that can lead to new adventures and a bit of mischief. Good. Life has been too quiet. Can you merge the two temptations and create an amazing set of experiences? Maybe.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Relationships need your full attention, Capricorn. This may require you to balance your needs and desires with those of others in order to achieve a happy home environment. How much will you compromise and defer? It remains to be seen, but I suggest that you prioritize all of your wants and see where there is agreement. Change may be inevitable.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
There is so much going on behind the scenes that you are excused for delaying any day-to-day chores that have been piling up. Aquarians try to carefully plan their next big move, but the cosmos requires your decisions right now. Don’t let all of this create stress for you. Sit back and contemplate. The right answers will come to you.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces just want to have fun. And why not? The past year has been restrict- ing and now you are full of great ideas that demand to be shared with others. Don’t sit around and wait for a knock on the door. Go safely out and experience all of the creative inspirations you can find. It will be refreshing and energizing and, who knows, maybe even profitable.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries find that there is a very careful balance between their career goals and family needs. Certainly the past year has been one of balance and compromise, and maybe even some sacrifice. Now, decisions will have to be made so that your life can get back to normal — or at least a new form of normal. Extended family can advise if you ask them.
