BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The cosmos gives us purpose and a boatload of zesty energy this week. We can accomplish anything we set our mind to now. So just do it!
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
This is your time of year, Aries. Not only do you have unparalleled oomph, you also know exactly where you want to go. So get yourself in first gear, chart your direction and set off to conquer the world. You will not only be successful, but you will achieve even more than you first thought.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Clear away the debris and the clutter from your life, Taurus. It is time
to take a good look at your full holistic landscape to see where you can reduce your stress, make some karmic adjustments and generally feel more at one with the cosmos. It might benefit you to expand your world through meditation or yoga. Omm.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whatever social network you now find yourself in, Gemini, use this time to ramp it up, expand it or even move it into a very different direction. Friendships become even more important. You crave unique and exciting experiences which can be easily gained with some creative interactions. Your world is reopening. Enjoy the fresh air.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
You have been very patient and hardworking, Cancer. Now it’s time to reap the rewards. Find supportive influencers who value you and want to help you be as successful as possible. The next few weeks can be a time of great accomplishment, if you can put out that extra focused effort. Do that corporate takeover of your dreams.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos with a hankering to travel can now make their big move. The past two years might have been a time of staying close to home, which was fine. But now you may yearn to broaden your horizons and experience new places, people and things. Feed this inner need any way you can. Draw up your list of to-do-and-see and do and see it.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Your need for intimacy hits a high note now, Virgo. Find the ways and means to make your love known to the right people. You also benefit by exploring your deep motivations to help you navigate big life decisions. It can be an intensive time and one that can open up new doors of opportu- nity for you. Live big and love bigger.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
What is it about certain relationships that get you especially excited now, Libra? Whatever energizes you, dive into it with both feet. There will be times where the swirl of all of these interactions may feel intense and a bit overwhelming but those with whom you connect now will factor in important ways in the near future.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Scorpios with a need for an energy boost will find it more easily now. Find ways to enhance your diet or exercise regime by building up your strength and stamina. There is nothing that you cannot achieve, no mountain that you cannot climb or trail you cannot follow to the end. When you feel physically great it leads to feeling invincible. Good!
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Have you been feeling a need to be more creative or playful, Sagittarius? If so, this is the time explore your inner child and see what beautiful and fun things you can create. You may channel these fun impulses into planning a big party that will be the talk of the town. If so, be sure to enlist some help. Your plans will be bigger than you first thought.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns will be able to put much more attention and effort into their home surroundings. If you have had plans for renovations or redecora- tions, this is the time to implement them. If you have been thinking of a family reunion, this is the time to get it on the calendar. Your personal world is shifting, improving and growing.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Your words pack power and a punch, Aquarius. Whatever is on your mind is ready to be shared and presented on the world stage. So carefully prepare your thoughts and find the right audience to share them with. You will be amazed at how far your great ideas can take you now. All it takes is planning and implementation.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Life begins to make dollars and sense. Pisces can now make some astute investment decisions that benefit them in the long term. The secret to your success is to find a good, trustworthy adviser and do a bit of research on your own. Taking calculated risks can bring the deserved rewards.
