22 MIDWEEK MAY 19, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 16, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 16, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Expect some crossed wires that hamper communication and possibly cloud our better judgment this week. Handle every problem that comes your way slowly and very carefully.
TAURUS (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
Your value system could be in for a deep re-evaluation now, Taurus. But your shifting preferences could move again in a few weeks. Before you embark in a certain direction, sit back and think about it a little longer. What looks like a surefire way to make money may not be the best way. All that glitters is not gold. And in this case, it could be Styrofoam.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
First impressions can be lasting, Gemini. If you find yourself in the center of a crowd, take the responsibility of all this attention seriously. Your voice carries a global impact, which can lead you to places you might prefer not to go at this time. So, be a bit of a wallflower, if you can. Plan your eventual entrance with care so you wow them later.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
If you are holding some wild sexy secrets, be prepared to accidentally spill them in what might be an inappropriate time. Uh oh, Cancer. This is not a malicious act, and hopefully others are quick to forgive. To spare you these uncomfortable moments, refrain from idle chitchat ... at least temporarily.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Plans with friends may go astray. They forget or you forget or all of you wind up in various different places looking for each other. Expect invitations to get lost and phone calls missed, Leo. Romance too, may hit an unanticipated snag because of miscommunication. Lessons learned. It will all be a part of the mysterious cosmic fun.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Virgos may be working doubly hard over the next few weeks as certain tasks require redos. You are usually very careful and efficient, but the fates seem to mix up the directions, instructions and even the supplies. Why ask why? Try to maintain your calmness and composure and plow ahead. These mix-ups may even prove to be educational. We hope.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
If you are planning a party, Libra, make sure that everyone knows all of the details — and remind them a few times. Invitations to fun events may have a way of going astray. In fact, any excursion, local or otherwise, can wind up as a wild goose chase. While travel in general seems to go a little off track, remember that it can become a great adventure.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Honesty is the best policy when it comes to close relationships, Scorpio.
But now it might be good to add a dollop of sugar and diplomacy since
your message may get muddled or miscommunicated. Something nice and frothy can be a happy memory. While there will be time in the near future to tell it like it is, for now, tell it like it can be.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Interactions with neighbors could go well, hit a snag or be confused, depending on how carefully you craft your message. Sagittarians often talk without thinking. But now, it is best to first think very carefully and then,
if things can wait, say nothing. You may also find that local events can get mixed up. Maybe it’s time for a vacation?
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns learn a few financial lessons now. One is that you should always carefully read the fine print before you invest or buy. The other is that you need to do more research from different sources and listen to all reputable advice before you act. You work too hard for your money to waste it on speculation. The cosmos are asking you to pay greater attention.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19) Aquarians think of all sorts of creative activities and want to find a group to join. That is great. But sometimes your plans are not described in a way that others can envision. Anything that sparks your imagination should be presented in understandable bits of clear description. You can do it.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Family issues need to be cleared, but there is so much miscommunication that sometimes opinions get lost in the clouds. The best advice, Pisces, is to maintain a mellow and somewhat distant presence. Watch, listen and wait for the right time to act. It will come soon — but not right now.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Anything you say could be misinterpreted now, Aries, and cause some misunderstandings with friends. If you have a certain opinion or idea, let
it float around in your mind for the time being instead of sharing it. Who knows? A very careful consideration and a waiting period may be the way to sharpen your eventual message.
