22 MIDWEEK MAY 5, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 2, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 2, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
A refreshing energy brightens our lives for the next few weeks. Wherever you need sunshine, add it in and let it glow. Then, be sure to heat up any scene.
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
Money might have been a source of stress for you these past few months, but now you are discovering some fresh ideas and new approaches that can turn things around. Have you been asking the right advisers? Have you been doing your careful homework? If so, now is the time to try your accumulated acumen and cash in, Taurus.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Your social life can hit a high point now, Gemini. That is because your need to connect and you building confidence are strengthening and motivating you. The secret to your success is to find the right circles, present the right ideas that can sway a crowd, and set your course to success. Don’t disregard any party. You never know who will be there.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
This is the time to release any secrets that have been holding you back, Cancer. Letting old ideas fade away is a good personal policy for you now. Life can expand, mellow out and become a beautiful calm. Then you can go out and make some noise and upend the landscape!
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos are finding that their social lives are getting crowded and busy. Good! You have been sheltering too long and losing steam. Join a new club, or five. Get involved in a community effort that offers you new experiences. Meet new people. Spring will spring into action, as will your newly found oomph.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Long-term plans, especially those that can impact your career, will suddenly come into sharp focus. Things might have been stewing on the back burner while you navigated all of the twists and turns of the pandemic. But now, Virgo, the landscape is vast and the path to your success is one that you are compelled to take. No lines. No waiting.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Feeling like you need some sort of a change? If so, you can make it all happily happen now. Travel might have been scary and problematic for the past year, but now, Libra, you have an urge to explore the world ... or at least get out of your humdrum routine with something or someone totally fresh. How fresh is entirely up to you!
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Zippy Scorpios have so much pent-up energy and love that they may be stymied as to where to express themselves. But don’t sweat this decision. The fates are finding many new ways for you to fully express your emotions in a compelling and delightful way. Let your imagination soar and see who you meet and greet. You may be surprised.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Connection is so important for you, Sagittarius, that you might find yourself reaching out to people whom you least expect. The important thing to remember is that there are people around you who can greatly and benefi- cially impact your life. Strengthen old bonds and seek a few new ones. Take a calculated risk and see what happens.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
If lots of little projects have been piling up on your desk and if you have been feeling more tired than usual, this may be the time to step back, take a deep breath and then dive into action. Your energy reserves are filling up again, Capricorn. And your zest for life is charging up. Don’t let the grass grow under your feet. Get moving — you will feel renewed.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Aquarians become party animals as their imagination and creativity hit a high note now. What great masterpieces are ready to be revealed? What fun activities can you plan and execute? You gather merry-makers as you go and life can become one big festivity. Hurry before your attention turns to something more practical and mundane.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
What is it about family that compels you to become more involved now, Pisces? I don’t know but I see that the more you can focus on home and family issues, the greater your personal joy will become. Repair connections, and spruce up relationships and surroundings. Whatever you can accomplish now will have long-term benefits and impact.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Whatever you say to whomever you say it to is bound to be impressive and compelling. You have some strong ideas percolating in the background, and they are now ready to pour out. Say what is on your mind, Aries, and add a bit of diplomacy and flair. See how many fans you can gather together. Even some dusty old views find new life and luster.
