26 MIDWEEK SEPTEMBER 29, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, September 26, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, September 26, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Our long-term direction can readjust over the next couple of weeks. Challenges become more manageable and our ability to capitalize on oppor- tunities reaches a pivotal point. Conquer and deliver.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Mixing fun with family will be easier than ever now, Libra. There is something in the air that makes everyone more joyous, convivial and wanting to connect. Plan a few get-togethers and see what happy times happen. It can bring some unexpected surprises. Who knew how creative and artistic some relatives are?
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Opening up the lines of communication so that others really hear you will be simple, Scorpio. Maybe it’s because you have had time to think about what you want to say and to whom you need to say it to. Maybe it’s because you are clearer and more concise so others really listen. Whatever it is, your diplomacy wins hearts and minds.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Focus on what you need to accomplish monetarily and make it happen, Sag- ittarius. The time has come to decide where you want to be, do your research, ask for advice and make your move. No sooner do you decide what direction you need to take and what you actually have to do, than it unfolds. Nothing succeeds like success.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Your ability to go the distance and make your mark on the world suddenly comes into clear focus, Capricorn. Everything that you have been planning and working on for your long-term achievement can become easier to do now. Powerful people see how strong you can be, and your focus on personal values will give you stability. Take the first step.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
If your intuition is telling you something, it is time to step back and listen to it, Aquarius. You seem to know instinctively what you need to do and how to best plan for your successful future. You may get some unexpected help from others secretively or obviously but your true path lies in what you can accomplish for yourself. You can do it!
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Gather friends around you and, though a group effort, gain greater insight into yourself and your cosmic path. Pisces are ready to explore all types of personal growth applications from meditation to yoga and wellness. There will be groups that can help you on this path. Do your homework and see which ones fit best into what you are trying to achieve. Test the waters.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
No matter how much you may want to blend into the background and just do your own thing, the planets conspire to push you out into the front of
the crowd. Use what you have learned over the past few weeks, Aries, to strengthen your future through your important contacts, whether they be in your career or among some of your more powerful friends.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
If you have been inclined to set up boundaries regarding where you roam, this may be a good time for a reappraisal, Taurus. In fact, your ability to expand your territory through travel or study has never been more important. Open yourself up to big experiences and see how your personal perspective can realize its full potential. The world is yours.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
There is something steamy in the air, Gemini, and it is your ability to attract anyone and everyone you want. What is different this time is your ability to be a bit more choosy and discerning. How unusual or exotic are your tastes? Who is really the best for you? There will answers as you proceed. Sometimes we can rediscover the wonders of a current amour, too.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Relationships take on a new and refreshing feeling now, Cancer. What you discover about a certain someone now can take you to new levels of closeness and understanding. New partnerships can also be formed that give you particular satisfaction. Find out who best fits with your current situation in life, and be prepared to connect and share.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
The more you concentrate on health and well-being, the stronger and happier you’ll be, Leo. Suddenly everything you have been working on recently comes to fruition. The secret is to fully understand what your body needs and get with a healthy program. Partners are there to help make you even more wonderful.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
It may be hard for you to balance your need for accomplishing work tasks and your yearning to just kick back and have fun. You will find the happy balance now, Virgo. It may be a good idea to combine the two — plan a wonderful party or festivity and get to work making it the best event it can be. In fact, expect to have many willing helpers to make it magical.
