26 MIDWEEK MAY 12, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 9, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 9, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
This week signals a time of greater stability and confidence. What area of your life needs a bit of grounding? Where can you consolidate and stabilize?
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
You can do no wrong now, Taurus. That is because everything that you have been working toward is starting to fall into place. The world seems to open up before you. Put your long-term plans into action and find powerful people to help you along. Your innate charisma and confidence is high, and your abilities are sharp. Don’t lose focus.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Don’t try to hide, Gemini. It just won’t work. A light shines brightly into any area of your life that you are trying to keep hidden. So, embrace your eccentricities and foibles and enter the world with confidence that you are truly unique and beautiful. Take a path to wellness, mellowness and calm to ease you through any stressful situation.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Are you finding that your social life is heating up and getting much busier? If so, go with the flow and find creative ways to connect with others. You may decide to get more involved in a variety of clubs or organizations that offer enriching projects. There is nothing you can’t do without a little extra help from your friends. The more the merrier, Cancer!
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos have their eye on the big prize. And, why not? You have been working very hard and have produced some excellent work. Now is the time to cash in either through a raise or a promotion. Explore long-term professional opportunities and see if any lead you to a particular personal placement. Life is a chess game. Make your best moves now.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
It’s time to shake off any boring routine and enter a new and exciting space. Whether that means planning a long-deferred vacation or dramatically changing something in your immediate environment is up to you, Virgo. The most import- ant thing is to get out of your old skin and into something shiny and new. Maybe something sparkling, while you are at it.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
As lovely as you usually are, now you are a force with whom to be reckoned. Who catches your eye? Who captures your heart? And, equally intriguing, who is watching you? You may be surprised, Libra, at the way love and lust work their way through your life now. Take things slowly and carefully but expect surprises along the way.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
The pandemic might have made you feel more isolated and lonely. But there is a fast solution. Focus on your most important relationships, Scorpio. Not only will they figure prominently in your immediate future, but the special connections that you reinforce now can also take you through a lifetime. No one is an island. Keep your outreach current and strong.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
There is a lot to get done and not enough time to do it all, Sagittarius. Spring-cleaning continues as your need to unclutter becomes paramount. But don’t sweat it if things are not moving as fast as you would like. Sometimes there is something cathartic just planning it out. Find ways to enjoy life more as you handle these chores. Can you make it a game ...?
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Relaxation takes precedence over pretty much everything else now, Capricorn. So why ask why? Find new ways to enjoy life, whether it’s through the arts, festivi- ties, a new absorbing hobby or even a little flirtation. Whatever helps you see life anew and refresh your outlook, do it. Life is too short and, currently, too stressful.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Aquarians are prepared to take a new, fresh look at their surroundings to see what might need some sprucing up. This can occur in your physical, emotional or psychic space. As spring gets underway, there will be a reappraisal of where you are and where you need to be to feel free, safe and happy. Welcome the change and prepare for a new you.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces have many things on their minds, some of which need to go beyond the thinking stage. What is it that you need to tell others or express to the world? You voice is amplified and your ability to engage others is strong. Make your message resonate and use your impressive ability to move yourself forward in any life path. If not now, when? If not you, then who?
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Now is a good time to think deeply about what you really value in life, Aries. The past year has been one of adjustment and what may have figured prominently before is, maybe, not so important anymore. Move to the future of possibilities. You will not only benefit emotionally, but also financially.
