18 MIDWEEK FEBRUARY 23, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 20, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 20, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Our energetic love can move mountains for us for the next couple of weeks, but
be sure that those mountains don’t move in an unexpected direction.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces feel at one with the world. They share the love and the world seems to share it back. Keep your wonderful thoughts close and don’t let anyone dissuade you from your good mood and mellow vibes. Try to go with the cosmic flow and find peace and harmony with others. This can be achieved and may even lead to a few surprises.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Friends will not only provide you with lots of entertainment, excitement and ardor, but they may also tempt you to spend more than you can realistically afford. There are places for you to go and wonderful people for you to meet. You can expand your social circle into a globe. These fun times are great, Aries. Be sure you can afford the bill.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
You are making a big name for yourself in certain professional circles, Taurus. That means that many people will want you on their side. Your biggest decisions now will involve how much time you want to devote to others (some of whom can make your career take off ) and how much time you want to devote to yourself.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Some travel, embarked on safely, will have its perks, Gemini. It is time to see what and who is out there and begin to feel more at one with the world. Expansion and illumination are your guiding force. However, also expect changes or bumps along the way. Surprises are in store for you. Plan as best as you can so you are not too surprised.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
How much love can one Cancer have? A lot, it seems. Your passion knows no bounds and you are especially alluring and charismatic. The lesson here is that you need to choose with who and when you make your biggest and best love moves. Will it be with someone totally new, or a friend or at work? Plan a successful future strategy.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos may find that they are pulled in two directions now as work commit- ments may take up more time at the expense of certain relationships — but it doesn’t have to be an either-or decision. Time management, setting boundaries and a careful plan will avert any surprises or double booking.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Virgos may feel like they are in the middle of a big decision. Should you focus on work, all of the tiny details or should you take off and explore from a bird’s-eye view of life? There will be times when you feel tied to your chair (and productive) and other times where you kick back and daydream.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
A tiny romantic flirtation may balloon into something big and totally unexpected, so keep your eyes open, Libra, in anything having to do with love and intimacy. You may be tempted to take on too much in this area and try to please too many people at once. This type of balance will be difficult to achieve. Try not to overextend.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
If you find yourself in the middle of a family disagreement, try to find ways to diplomatically remove yourself from the discussion. It would be better, Scorpio, if you concentrated on improving your personal surroundings. A nice home-based project to brighten and spruce up will work wonders not just for you but for those around you.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Sagittarians may jump into a project with both feet now, full of energy
and enthusiasm. But check the specifics of any expectations and try not to over promise. Your mind is full of great ideas that need to be prioritized and tested. Great minds need willing helpers. Turn up your charm and see who you can enlist to help you out. Surprise!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns will be tempted by many fun and creative opportunities now. Some of them are very affordable and others may be too big for your budget. Your mission will be to see what gives you the most bang for your buck. You are thinking big, big, big! If you can’t afford it, wait for a better time to tackle it.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
You want to get things moving, Aquarius. There are places you want to go and people you want to see. However, there may be family members who, surprisingly, feel that you need to wait. Listen to what they have to say and try to find common ground. Maybe they have a point. But if your gut is telling you otherwise, go with your gut.
