30 MIDWEEK APRIL 28, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 25, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 25, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The cosmos expands our capacity for joy and love now, so spread the good vibes and plant seeds of optimism while the ground is fertile. Don’t wait.
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
Taureans will experience greater and greater luck the more they explore friendships and create stronger connections to others. There are those around you who are just waiting for an invitation. Then there are others who are there to quietly help you anonymously. So, make your appearance on the social scene and see who and what can develop.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whatever you have been striving to achieve over the past couple of years can suddenly manifest in an expansive way. If you have been waiting for the right time to implement any long-term plans, this is the time. There is an element of luck and good timing that takes things further than expected. The world is your oyster, Gemini. Slurp it up.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
This is no time to sit in your shell, Cancer. It is time to fully experience the world and all it has to offer. You may be feeling uneasy about traveling, but find ways within your comfort zone to reach beyond your borders and get out of your rut. Any move expands your vision, luck and ultimate success.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos are “grrr”-eat and feeling fairly feisty. What will you do with all of this sexy pent-up energy? My advice is to package it, show it off and bank on it. You will gather your admirers as you go. There are those who you meet who will be very beneficial to you in the next couple of years. Your charisma is your best resource. See who you can press and impress.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Virgos understand the importance of relationships. But which specific ones are the ones that will be vital to you in the coming years? These are the distinctions you will be making now. The decisions you make will not only expand your life, but also bring you to an entirely new and higher level of happiness. Embrace life. But more importantly, embrace others.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Even onerous and boring work will go easier and faster now, Libra. Whatever has been piling up on your desk can now be handled with an amount of joy and satisfaction. That goes for anything medical or health related. Take care and pamper yourself, and work to increase your energies and strength.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Creativity is your middle name now, Scorpio. Pour your soul and inspiration into anything that is totally artistic, fun and inspiring. You can even amp up your luck with some calculated risks at small-stakes gambling. But the real lesson to take away from this period is that you have great reserves of wonderful ideas that are just waiting for a chance to bloom.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Whatever family issues or projects that you have been laboring at will sud- denly open up, expand and go in the direction you want. Brick walls come down and understanding links minds together. Your home environment blooms with possibilities. So what is your next big move here, Sagittarius? I look forward to seeing what is next.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Whatever you say seems to carry with it a strength and purpose that cannot be denied, Capricorn. Don’t be afraid to express yourself and say what is really on your mind. You will find the right words that can change minds and create movements. The secret to your success is to focus on the big picture and how that can benefit both you and others in the future.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
If money has been tight and finances have been a worry, you can worry a little less now, Aquarius. There could be profitable opportunities in your future that take you to the next positive step. Put out the effort and do your homework. No path should be ignored, but weigh the ultimate benefits. Luck can play a role, too. You can make your own luck.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
What is it about Pisces that makes them so irresistible now? The cosmos delivers you a package of personality oomph. Use whatever charisma you have now (which is plenty) to showcase your talents and take personal projects one giant step further. Find ways to safely meet and greet, and sweep people off their feet. Life becomes very sweet.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Remove all of your barriers and see where the fates take you. You are about to enter another dimension that gives you greater perspective, knowledge and compassion. The best pathway for this journey is through meditation or yoga because it will relax you and enable you to bend with the process. Softness has its advantages now, Aries.
