26 MIDWEEK JUNE 23, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, June 20, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, June 20, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The cosmos requires us to now reevaluate even our best-conceived carefully planned dreams and aspirations. Are you headed in the right direction?
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
A platonic friendship can suddenly shift and become much more intense and romantic, Cancer. Are you ready for a change in feelings? Will this ultimately hurt an important relationship if it doesn’t work out? These are all considerations but logic may be out of the equation. It can be a highly emotional time during which hearts meet and zap.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Life balance is hard to achieve when there are so many compelling things to do — both in relationships and professionally. Your talent and charisma are on display. Leos are in demand by everyone. The challenge you now face is how you can best achieve a better life balance in which two very different sets of supporters want and need your attention.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Are you ready to let loose and just have fun, Virgo? Life has been so stressful that it is time to try to de-stress and relax. If you feel comfortable, you might venture out for a travel adventure. If you want to stay closer to home, there will be surprising opportunities that seem to just pop up. But plans can shift dramatically, so be prepared for a bit of thrill with your mellow.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Even a mild romance can catapult into something quite dramatic and exciting now. Maybe it’s because the past few months have been a time of relative low energy in intimate relationships. Or, maybe you are looking at the world with fresh eyes. Whatever it is, zany fun may seem thrilling but take it slowly and try to keep your balance, Libra.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
It seems everyone wants your attention. How can you successfully balance family needs with a particular one-to-one relationship? What can you do to bring people together? That is your pressing issue now, Scorpio. Step back to see where each person is coming from, and maintain your sense of humor.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Expect your work schedule to go into crazy overdrive, Sagittarius. You become especially popular as your reputation for good work and efficiency spreads. But you only have so much time in a day, and all work and no play will burn you out. While it would be tempting to speak up, see if there is a way to quietly maneuver and diplomatically manage.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Your creativity hits a surprising high note now, Capricorn. Your artistic dreams go into overdrive and your vision cannot be contained. Is it possible that you can go totally overboard and take on a pastime that costs way too much and turn out to be less than you expect? Sure. But you have been warned, so take a reality check every so often.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
You are living in a highly energetic and changeable domestic environment now, Aquarius. Anything and everything can happen and shift in impor- tance and intensity around the house. Whew! How can you manage to do what needs to be done to achieve what you want to achieve and fully enjoy your surroundings? It shouldn’t be a problem for you.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Anything you say now can have unexpected and surprising reactions from people, Pisces. Are you ready to shake up the landscape? If so, prepare your point of view and carefully share it with a carefully chosen audience. You never know what can happen, but the chances for success are very good.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
What you say and how you say it could have great impact in any social situation or group setting, whether in person or virtual. Friends just hanging around and gabbing can lead to some astounding and surprising reveals. What do you have to contribute to this conversation, Aries? Is there some- thing important and ground shaking that is ready to be shared?
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
How you present yourself to the world could have a dramatic impact on your long-term plans. Will you decide to re-create yourself and have a new “look”? Anything you do now will totally change the way you are perceived and received. So, check yourself out in the mirror each morning, Taurus, and give yourself time to take your full magnificence in.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Surprises from the most unexpected places and from the most unexpected people may shake your world, Gemini, but don’t let them derail you. In fact, this can be change where change is needed, creating opportunity and a fresh new way of thinking. Learn all you can learn and experience everything that you can. See where it leads you.
