20 MIDWEEK APRIL 20, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 17, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 17, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
There is practical energy mounting this week, which helps us to consolidate our efforts and enables us to move forward with strength and purpose. Don’t wait to do, just do!
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
It is time to focus on your finances, Aries. Not only are you especially practical, but you can also make a small amount into a mountain of possibilities. Think about where you want to be in a certain number of years and carefully plan out the path to get there. It may require extra work, but you know in your heart that it will all be worth it.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
You are in the center of all of the activity, Taurus. That means that anything you have been planning over the past year can get a jump and accelerate. There will be times when you have to do extra outreach with powerful people who you may not know well, but you have the grace and presence to get what and who you want now.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Clean out your closet of secrets, psychological baggage and other debris that is holding you back, Gemini. Give yourself breathing space. You will have a karmic refresh that will make you feel free and happier. There is no reason to cling to certain things or ideas. Allow yourself the freedom to explore all new possibilities.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Friends not only give you fresh perspectives on things, but they also fill your time with fun and engaging experiences. Try to expand your social circle, Cancer. There are new groups to join, great people to meet, and fun events to enjoy that brings you new perspectives and new opportunities. Who knows where this will lead? Let’s see.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Your path to future success becomes clearer, Leo. Whatever you’ve been working toward suddenly comes into view. Do you like the direction your professional path is taking you? If so, forge ahead. If not, there are great new opportunities coming up. You have the energy and the perseverance to make any dream come true.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
If you have been feeling tied down and cooped up, it’s time to explore and expand your horizons, Virgo. Whatever takes you out of your humdrum routine will feel especially exciting and enriching. Your reach (and influ- ence) can expand globally no matter what path you decide to take. Make your plans and see where life leads you.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras will not only be able to juice up their love life (if they want), but they can also empower themselves with added confidence and personal oomph. You are magnetic and can attract anyone you want, but be choos- ey and accept those who can give you a deeper and fulfilling experience.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
There will be certain relationships that can benefit from added attention, Scorpio. Your mission now is to decide which relationships need what type of effort. This not only strengthens certain ties, but it also creates new alliances and partnerships. Your ability to grow and expand in many areas of your life will be pivotal for your future.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Not only will certain postponed projects get off the ground and com- pleted, but their completion will also pave the way for other interesting opportunities. Sagittarians now focus on the essentials and have the energy to simply get things done. This is also a great time to improve your diet and exercise — but can you improve on perfection? Ha!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Tap into your more creative side, Capricorn. Your sparks of genius not only brighten your immediate world, but they also lead you to wonderful and fun artistic expressions. Find those who can give you a helping hand in the planning and launching of events. You never know who will be there to also give you a bit of a romantic zest.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Home-based projects have special resonance now, Aquarius. Focus on what needs to be done both in household projects and between relatives. You can be the practical peacemaker and the efficient designer/builder. Use this great talent to improve your surroundings and make your life more peaceful, secure and comfortable.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Whatever you are thinking, you are extra practical in how you express yourself, Pisces. You have acquired great wisdom through experience and seem to intrinsically know what to say, when to say it and who to say it to. Since your words have extra power and punch, use this talent to achieve.
