22 MIDWEEK MARCH 30, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 27, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 27, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Sometimes love explodes like fireworks that light up the sky. Expect a few bright lights and a few sparks this week. Will it be a wow or wowie?
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Friendships have a way of becoming much more intense and connected now. Yes, the past few months might have felt isolating. Now is the time to reconnect and strengthen bonds. The question is how much intimacy do you want or need from certain pals, Aries? Find the right balance and see how it all progresses.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Whatever new rhythms you have created with your career these past few months, it now may be time to reassess how well that can work for you going forward. Maybe the business environment has evolved? Balance in this life is everything, Taurus. What you plan for the future has to work for you and not necessarily for your bosses.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Any last minute travel that takes you out of your comfort zone could spark a big wave of creativity, romance or personal expansion. So now is the time to push your boundaries, Gemini, and show the world what you are capable of achieving. Take things one step further. Seek stimulation through study or exploration.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Even sensible Cancers can be swept off their feet with a lusty wow, now. How much of your heart are you willing to give to someone who you may not know very well? How much are you willing to give to someone who you know very well? The right balance in any type of romance is possible as long as you know who is who.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos will need to find the right balance in a particular relationship that guarantees the stability and commitment you need. Some folks may need much more from you. Others may need their space. The secret to your success is to be able to step back and view things objectively from both sides of the aisle. Then go all in!
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
A light flirtation at work can become much more intense or it can become an object lesson to never mix business with pleasure. It depends where you are in life. If you are available, maybe you could test things out. But if you are already in a relationship, consider the long-term impact. You are a practical and caring soul. What will it be, Virgo?
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
What might start out as a small soiree can turn into a party hearty mega event. So plan accordingly, Libra. A small inspiration has the potential to change the landscape and a bright little idea could light up the sky. Find what inspires you this week and use that insight to supercharge your future creative enterprises, whatever they may be.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
This week can bring family together ... that is if you can manage any
of a range of possible emotional moments, Scorpio. Get togethers with relatives can be fun and convivial but they can also become more intense. Find ways to make everyone feel welcome and heard. This bodes well for any future reunions and solidifies all future contact.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Not only are you more eloquent and compelling these days, you are also well aware of the power and impact of your opinions on others. Will you make big changes in certain relationship dynamics? If so, how can you best control the narrative and future communication? This is your time, Sagittarius. Use it to your advantage.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns are usually so level headed and practical. Now you may be tempted to spend emotionally. Whatever charges your heart may also charge your credit card. But this is not a bad thing. Sometimes you simply have to splurge and treat yourself and loved ones. I know you will not bust your budget. Maybe you’ll just stretch it a bit.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Not only do you make a very impressive first impression, you also find ways to convince others of your great personal plans. You have ample charisma and charm. So use this time to find a benefactor and advance your agenda. There is no stopping you once you get going, Aquarius. Just be sure that you know where you are going.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Whatever you have been hiding will find a way to get out into the open. So don’t even try to keep a secret, Pisces. Unleash your most inner fears and hopes and share them with the right people. You never know where a bit of courage can take you. Before you know it you are flying high and reaching the highest karmic heights.
