26 MIDWEEK MARCH 2, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 27, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 27, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Are you feeling especially romantic and mushy now? Chalk it up to the planets and have a good time!
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
What is it about you that has so many creative and unique people gravitating into your orbit, Pisces? It may have to do with your amazing confidence and ability to easily share your inspiring ideas. Allow yourself the time to spread your good cheer, and see what can happen as you open up new territories. The world is yours for the taking.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries not only feel more imaginative, but they may also even have a few psychic breakthroughs. Let your better instincts soar and allow yourself time to mellow out and feed your inner, better angel. This can become an expansive and enriching time during which you can make the world a bit better while, in turn, make yourself feel better.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
This is a great time for outreach. Gather more friends around you, Taurus. They provide a unique form of personal nourishment that you need now. They can also lead you to new interests and some fairly interesting life directions. Where do you want to go? Explore your connections and find those who can lead you there.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whatever your career plans may be, it is a good time to reassess them and set your compass in a direction that will lead you to success. You have many interests, Gemini, and it may be difficult to decide where you want to be in the long term. Monitor the degree of mellowness you feel by going in a certain direction. That’s your answer.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
If you are feeling the urge to travel, now is the time to realize your dream, Cancer. If time and money are tight, expand your horizons any way you can. The most important thing is to physically give yourself more oppor- tunities to explore new things, places and people. No one is an island. Get out from under your social media and go face-to-face.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Your love knows no bounds at this time, Leo. You are not only charming and especially sexy, but you also manage to place yourself in the middle of any romantic situation. You are in control of all of the moves. Allow yourself the opportunity to open up and embrace all that your love life has to offer. You will be surprised at how expansive it can be.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Whatever your expectations are for a certain relationship, expect them to lead you into some new and inspirational places. You may have had
a tendency to place restrictions and boundaries with others, but look at what you might be missing. Don’t hem yourself in, Virgo. This is the time to more deeply understand someone else.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras who have been grappling with extra stress can find novel ways to counterbalance their lives now and feel more in harmony and health. Spend more time with self-care and see how much energy you can sustain. Find your purpose or your project and take the first step.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Scorpios can feel the spark of genius as, suddenly, they are filled with some great and creative ideas. Where do you go from here? That is the big question now. Do you apply your artistic vision to current responsibilities or do you advance in an entirely different direction? That is now for you to decide. Allow your muse room to roam.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Anything having to do with home and family captures your attention and imagination now, Sagittarius. Let yourself be consumed with everything having to do with your personal and private surroundings. Long simmer- ing domestic plans can be put into action or changed in a way that makes them even more genius.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Whatever you are merely thinking will have a way of becoming more of
a public discussion now, Capricorn. Allow yourself some time to more concretely form your arguments and plans. You will then be given the rare opportunity to express yourself to those who can make a difference in your life. Ask and you shall receive.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Budgets have always seemed so boring, but that might not be the case now, Aquarius. In fact, anything having to do with money will have a certain shine or allure for you. Plan for your eventual cushy retirement with an eye toward careful planning and take some manageable risk. Who knows where this can all lead?
