34 MIDWEEK OCTOBER 6, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, October 3, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, October 3, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
We are tempted to take a mellow approach to everything this week. We may also be much more intuitive than usual. Can you see the future? If so, you will know just what to do.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
If you have a sudden urge to declutter your surroundings and embark on some fall cleaning, go for it, Libra. Tackle the dust bunnies and clean out a closet or three. This may be the perfect time to go through old items, papers and assorted things that are no longer needed or wanted. All you have is plenty of time and the need to be busy and productive.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Tap into your artistic muse and unleash your creativity, Scorpio. Maybe you will whip up the perfect cake or delicious meal. Or, maybe you will paint, write or compose your masterpiece. Do whatever taps into your best ideas and see what can happen. Some of you may love more fiercely or laugh more uproariously. Everything will have its glorious moment.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Sagittarians who are investigating their family trees may uncover new clues and branches now. There might be a longstanding mystery that can be revealed and a connection to something that seemed broken. The secret to your success will be to organize your notes, concentrate your thoughts and make some educated assumptions. Asking for help is good, too.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
You seem to know just what to say to get others to agree with you, which is no small feat, Capricorn. Dip into your well of charisma, polish up your best communication skills and see where you can put these talents to good use. You have the entire internet at your disposal and a range of great ideas to share. Don’t be shy. Your moment is here.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Aquarians can now focus on what is most important. The surprise (for others but maybe not for you) could be that it is not money or status. It is simpler, quieter and less materialistic. Mine these personal treasures and make efforts to secure them. You may even find that others are willing to help you.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Not only can you make a fabulous first impression, but you are also able to consolidate your followers and expand your circle of admirers. So, Pisces, what are your long-term plans? Who do you need to connect to make things happen? How can you best reach them? The world is ready for you.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries may feel especially adept at surveying the current landscape, sussing out a particular situation and making their best possible moves earlier rather than later. Your assessment of things is spot on and can lead to you to accurate actions. Slow and steady progress can be made in an important aspect of your life.
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
Your connections to friends and large social groups will take on an added importance this week, Taurus. Do you yearn to become part of a greater cause? Check out the facts and see if a certain group really fits with your views on life. Then, if the urge is still strong, seek safe and healthy connec- tions virtually. You can never be too careful.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whether you are working from home or an essential employee, you may find that your current efforts can take on a more global and impactful meaning. For those Geminis who are not working for one reason or another, you find that any charitable efforts will not only bring comfort but also give you new skills that can be used well after the pandemic is over.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Cancers may begin to feel especially cooped up with cabin fever. But there will be many ways to expand your horizons without leaving home. The internet can bring all sorts of nice and interesting surprises. You gain many new ideas as to what to do and how to do it.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos seek deep connections now, and what better way to connect than to reach out to those who you haven’t heard from in a while. Go as global as you can. You may be surprised at how emotional some of these outreaches can be. Whether you use social media platforms or conferencing software, you will have the ability to increase the love. Or is it lust?
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Partnerships need to be nurtured and Virgos know how to do it, even from afar. Seek out those who make you feel needed, secure and happy. Your calm and endearing approach will strengthen relationships — even the loose and fragile ones. The opportunity is there to build for the future and embrace the past while calming the present.
