26 MIDWEEK AUGUST 18, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 15, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 15, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Let’s use our talents this week to highlight our more practical and down-to- earth natures. Have you been procrastinating? This is the time to just get things done — then relax.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Money seems to come to you more effortlessly now, Leo. That is because you are able to take a very fine and practical look at your finances and future plans. Plot your fiscal course while you can focus on the essentials and details. Not only can you cash in later, but you can also build a strong foundation for a very solid future.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
You are in the center of your universe as everyone around you wants to get closer and closer to you. What will you do with all of this beneficial attention, Virgo? Use it to meet important folks who can really help you in the next stages of your life. Start new projects, go in new and profitable directions, and see where life leads you.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Secrets and anything that has been playing out in the background sud- denly come into sharp focus. Are you ready for some revelations, Libra? Put some charitable efforts in place and pay the good karma forward now. There is goodness in the universe that is waiting for a chance to sprinkle some luck your way. Be prepared to be peppered.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Not only will there be more opportunities to expand your social life, but you can also create deeper relationships with acquaintances and pals now. As your net widens, you may be happily surprised at who swims your way. Drum up your best and persuasive skills, Scorpio, and make your mark in impressive and influential circles.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Any long-term idea that has been pushed off or delayed will now find
a new urgency and a lot more energy behind it. Sagittarians often have grand plans but can get bogged down in the implementation. Not now! You have ample energy to do what needs to get done and move things one giant step forward. Today, the planning; tomorrow, the takeover.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Your expansive mind now needs room to roam, Capricorn. That means that if you are thinking of traveling, this may be a good time to do it. You have the ability to concentrate on all of the important details to make any adventure a great and mind-expanding one. Get out of your routine and do something new, even if it is closer to home.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Aquarians need much more love and attention now. Once you have carefully ascertained the landscape of romance, don’t hold back on your emotions. Connections will lead to new understanding, happiness and a great goal for the future. Deep emotions can sometimes seem scary, but they are often much more satisfying and enriching.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Get a fuller understanding of certain important relationships now, Pisces. These can be family, friends or even work-related. Someone from one of these groups is slated to figure much more prominently in your life in the next few weeks. Figure out who it is and what you are seeking from them. Don’t be surprised if this leads further than you ever thought possible.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
If there was any good time to clean out your closets, get some paperwork off your desk or otherwise clear out your dusty debris, this is the time, Aries. Not only are you extremely productive, but you will also have ample energy to get it all cleared away once and for all. Think of the future benefits — the rest of the summer will be smooth sailing.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Fun may have its practical aspects for you now, but that doesn’t mean any pastime or hobby is going to be a ton of work. In fact, you are raring to go, go, go and become the social director and party planner of the year. Give yourself time to not only put in the effort but also totally enjoy all of the benefits. Dance on and on, Taurus.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Family obligations will figure prominently for you at this time, Gemini. Focus on what you need to do in very practical terms to bring people together and get the reunions planned. Before you know it, you will be having a great time catching up, reminiscing and relaxing. These deeper connections will lead you into new insights in the future months.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Whatever you say and whoever you say it to will not only sound very wise and measured but will also hold the spark of brilliance. If you have been waiting to express your opinion, now might be the best time to do it, Cancer. See how far your ideas can take you. I suspect it will take you further than you ever thought possible.
