34 MIDWEEK AUGUST 11, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 8, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 8, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The cosmos cast a happy, warm glow in our love life this week. Expand your dreams and see where the love boat docks.
LEO (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
You seem to know just what to say to make others feel grrrr-eat, Leo. If there is an area of your life that needs a calm tone, assuring banter or just some good, old sugary common sense, find it and use your eloquence to make it fabulous. We can sure use your talent right now.
VIRGO (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Money is honey, Virgo, which is why you are on the top of your financial game. Make your dough rise in new and creative ways, while you mit- igate risk and find the right adviser to guide you through any possible pitfalls. Once you get to where you want to be, spoil someone you love.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
You are the center of your universe, Libra, and seem to attract a range of glamorous folks who just want to be near you. Find ways to meet new exciting people who can help you in any future personal project. The time is now. Get out as best as you can and make those connections.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
Someone is working behind the scenes on your behalf, Scorpio. Your best charitable ideas will get their attention. They are clearing the path for you to take your life to the next big loving level. Who is this mysteri- ous guardian angel? Meditate. Time will tell for you to find out.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Friends are not only front and center of your life now, but they will also figure prominently in your future plans. Reach out and reaffirm your platonic connections, Sagittarius. Join new organizations and groups to expand your social net. Then, network.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
There are times when you just love the life path you are on, Capricorn. This may be one of those times. Check to see that you are on the right path for you, and make sure that any professional connections you have are in your inner circle. Spread good vibes and capitalize on them, too.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Your world is greatly expanding, Aquarius, and you are on the cusp of a great new adventure. Whether you actually physically travel or take your excursion virtually, it will take you out of your routine and into some new and exciting territory — your choice of destination.
PISCES (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
Hot and sexy Pisces can turn on the charm and attract anyone they want to now. How can you decide from all of the potential choices? You are full of charisma and can spread your personal oil on any dish. Ramp up your sizzle and see who you decide to invite to your fish fry.
ARIES (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Take a good look at a certain current relationship to see if it is as good as it can be and make it even better — and also see if there are other partnerships that you can cultivate. Aries love large and now you can expand your personal connections to mammoth proportions. Is it possi- ble that too much closeness can be too much? Not at this point in time.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
They love you at work and why not? Taureans know how to put in the effort for the good of the group and finally, now, others take notice and appreciate it. Find ways of making your mark on the job. Not only will you gain personal satisfaction, but you will also make life happier and more productive.
GEMINI (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
There will be many more ways of relaxing and just having fun this week, Gemini. You are inspired! And these creative enterprises can also result in a new flirtation or a warmer closer current romance. See who life brings you — whether a familiar face or a mysterious one.
CANCER (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Family get-togethers will be especially loving and harmonious now, Cancer. So be sure to plan something wonderful with your relatives and very close compadres. It is also a good time to clear up any misunder- standing between all of you. Diplomacy is now your strong suit.
