30 MIDWEEK AUGUST 4, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 1, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 1, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
What creative idea can you conjure up that will take you to an entirely different universe this week? Whatever it is, be prepared for a grand ride.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Like, love, lust and every emotion in between hits you squarely in the heart this week, Leo. This is the time to sort out your feelings. It could be a wild ride on which various people move in and out of your personal ecosystem. When everything settles down, you may find that you are in a better, more stable place. But in the meantime, hang on tight.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Balance is everything in life, Virgo, which is why you will need to find the right balance in certain relationships. If there are folks who seem to take too much and give too little, you can find ways of redistributing the effort in creative and almost inspirational ways. The solutions are there. You just need a moment of quiet to hear the whispers.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
A fresh breeze blows through your life. Libras will find many new ways of de-stressing all through the week. Will you try yoga? Meditation? Channeling? Something else? Whatever you discover that makes your journey through life more spiritual and fulfilling, do it sooner rather than later. Life is too short to spend any time on unpleasant tasks. Learn to delegate them.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Expand your social net to include more creative and unusual types, Scorpio. Your circle of friends needs a bit of spice. It’s time to mix it up and make your life much more interesting. You can achieve this by joining new groups or orga- nizations, or participate in artistic enterprises. A spark can lead to a revelation. A revelation can lead to a masterpiece.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Your long-term plans may be at odds with what your family wants and expects from you, Sagittarius. It may reach the decision phase — but wait. Things are still evolving, and there are a few aspects of your dreams that need a bit of working out. Soon enough, you will be ready for your next big life chapter — and it has to be your own decision.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
As you set out to explore life beyond the strict confines of your immediate world, you will find amazing and wild ideas that can catapult you to your next big thing. Don’t be afraid of getting a little out of your comfort zone, Capricorn, and wandering into areas that have previously only been in your imagination. The world is your oyster. It is time to slurp it up.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Emotions may run high for you now, Aquarius. Embrace the opportunity to add a bit of drama and excitement in your life. Your value system may change. Things that you couldn’t give up before, suddenly seem unimportant. Other things that never mattered may now seem critical to your very happiness. That is this week. Wait and see what next week brings.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Give certain relationships time to readjust to your new normal, Pisces. You are undergoing an appraisal of who you want to be with and what relationships need to change. This is a time of creative thinking on your part. Take your morsels of genius and let them hover in the air while you make your decisions. Some things may be changing as you go. Life will be interesting.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Not only do you find the crazy, perfect solution to a long-vexing problem, but you also realize that this solution can take you to an entirely different mindset regarding your job. Maybe it’s time to take your work life in a new direction, Ar- ies? Give any action time to percolate before you act. There are a few surprising things that still need to be discovered.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Whatever you think about certain friends, be prepared to alter your long-held views. They will surely surprise and delight you this week, Taurus. That is be- cause you not only have an exceptionally inspirational way of having fun now, but you also manage to gather the exact right group of pals and acquaintances to share these seminal experiences with you.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whatever underlying issues you may have had with certain family members, be prepared to reassess them at this time, Gemini. Sometimes great advice comes from the most unexpected places and sources. Listen carefully and let their views waft in the air. Then, prepare to make your next big move.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
There is so much newness around you to experience, and you will be forgiven for being a little spacey this week, Cancer, as you take it all in. If life has been a little boring, expect much more excitement and change now. Let the cosmos reveal its secrets to you. Take what you learn to the next level by broadening your horizons. Travel, study something magical or just meditate on it all.
