26 MIDWEEK FEBRUARY 9, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 6, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 6, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The week can deliver a few life lessons that we should use wisely to navigate
the next few weeks. Even a small touch can be instructive and productive.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Whatever you have learned about making the right first impression will serve you well, Aquarius. That is because you have astutely noticed that all people are different and need a specialized approach when you ask for their help or advice. Check it all out and make your best move. You are a charmer with a lot of sparkle. Turn it up to bright.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Whatever has been on your mind, you can now begin to act upon it.
Pisces seem to intuitively know what they need to do to get to where they want to go. You will have some help from a guardian angel, or at least some great advice from a trusted friend. Use everything in your arsenal to fortify your present circumstances and reign.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Whatever the misunderstandings or misgivings surrounding a certain friendship might be, the bright light of clarity now illuminates the best solution. Aries are very bold — sometimes to the point of pushy — but they always mean well and are amazingly loyal pals. Put your best assets out there to show others how amazing you are.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
There are times when planning way ahead helps, and there are times when you can accomplish greatness in the spur of the moment. Your mission, Taurus, is to figure out which type of action gets you where you need to be. You have a wealth of experience as you manage to pivot in the nick of time to achieve the best results.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
The need for you to reach others in a massive, global way is your guiding light, Gemini. There are ideas that need to be shared and actions that need to be taken that make you feel complete and in control of the direc- tion of your life. Find ways of using what you know and who you know to make your presence known.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Sexy Cancers may feel that their best moves need a bit of a tweak. That could be so but it’s also true that you secretly know what you need to do and say to get who you want. Use this hard-earned talent to forge stronger bonds and deeper fulfillment with others. No one is an island, although the past two years may have made us feel that way.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Reaching out to others to strengthen understanding and commitment is not as hard you might think, Leo. In fact you know just what to do to bring others closer to you and to forge teams of supporters who help you navigate anything you seek to achieve. You have to start doing the reaching out though. Don’t be shy — as if that is even possible for you.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Focus more on health and well-being, Virgo. Maybe you are over stressed or maybe you need to reorganize aspects of your life that seem burdensome. Whatever you need to do to get your house in order, you accomplish it right now. Clues have been dropped in your lap and your innate common sense adds to the overall knowledge.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
If you think that your imagination has run dry, think again, Libra. In fact, this week can become one of your most fertile times as you begin to relax and contemplate. Allow yourself time to recharge and create. Start a blog, take an acting class or otherwise expand your base of artistic talents.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
While the past few months have been a time of slow planning, your path opens to new possibilities, especially as they pertain to any household project. Renovations and/or decorating plans begin to take shape and you can make your surroundings even nicer than what you first envisioned.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
There has never been a better time to demonstrate your innate wisdom than right now, Sagittarius. Not only do you sound incredibly smart, but you are also able to look ahead into the future and gauge any events that will unfold. Share any hard-won knowledge with others and you can soon become a respected center of any discussion. Wow!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
There is nothing like the present to figure out your finances and plant a few seeds for a richer future. Capricorns might have learned the hard way about taking risks and using their money in constructive and profitable ways. It has taken you up to now to grasp the importance of careful listening and planning. Now, put all these lessons to work.
