22 MIDWEEK JUNE 29, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, June 26, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, June 26, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
This week leads us to a time of greater clarity and understanding. Long-held beliefs could undergo a reassessment or a confirmation. Let’s see how it goes.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
While there may have been times in the recent past during which friends have been a bit, shall we say, difficult, there is now a rush of comradeship and conviviality among all of you. Pals come out of the woodwork and are ready to mingle. Don’t focus on the past. Enjoy the revived social swirl, Cancer, and get more involved in group activities.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Professional liaisons heat up after some stagnation. Suddenly it seems that those in authority recognize your value and want you on their team. Remember that you control the narrative as well as the dispersion of your time, Leo. Agree to what you really want to do and kindly decline those who do not match up to your needs, goals and talents.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
More options to travel come your way, Virgo. Suddenly the entire world presents delightful options. This may involve long journeys or short inter- vals. Whatever is offered, find those adventures that get you out of your rut and routine and opens your eyes to great possibilities and experiences. Refresh and rejuvenate.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Your need for deep connection reaches a fevered pitch. Whatever has held you back from intimacy now releases you to do what you want
and need to do. Your message and thoughts are clear and focused. Your communication is spot on. Libras can often be “in love with love” but this is not always such a risky thing, as you may now discover.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Scorpios with some challenging relationships can repair and strengthen them now ... if that is what they want. You are on top of everything. You control the back narrative. You control the conversation, and you are especially compelling and convincing. See where you can expand your influence and prepare for all sorts of future success.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22
While there are many projects on your plate, you now have the uncanny ability to see which ones are the most important and valuable. Parse out your time wisely, Sagittarius, and use the next weeks to clear off your desk and tear up your to-do list. The summer is getting into full swing. Be sure you have the time to swing along.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Creative projects that might have hit a roadblock suddenly re-energize and rev up again. Dive into anything that brings you sheer joy, even for the pure experimentation of it. Expect no more false starts on fun, Capri- corn. Your ability to visualize and implement anything festive or artistic now hits a high note, even if you can’t sing!
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
What is it about family that can make things so complicated and frenetic? I certainly don’t know, Aquarius, but I suspect you now have all or at least some of the answers. Some of the past was marred by miscommunication and misunderstanding. This can all be cleared up. Go forth and make wonderful memories.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Even-tempered Pisces may have had some confusing moments in the past but that particular past is now the ancient past. You are especially eloquent and compelling, and your thought process is clear and focused. Make your personal mark on any subject and gain a rousing bunch of followers. Become a social media sensation.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Whatever you valued in the past may now require a readjustment, Aries. Some long-entrenched views are based so long in the past that they may no longer apply or feel right to you. Evaluate and see what is gold and what is dross in your life. Then embrace whatever you decide to do about it now. The goal is future enlightenment and joy.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
While first impressions may have been lasting impressions, now is the time to polish your image and see how much you can out-shine others and even yourself. You will not only be able to make a big personal move into a more exclusive audience, but you will also find ways to lead the parade dynamic. Cement your future now, Taurus.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
While your intuition might have been on the fritz over the past few weeks, you now find your ESP totally focused on what is going on through the cosmic fog. Those who support you can be discerned from those who really don’t. Prepare yourself for full enlightenment, Gemini. The results may be bigger than you and we all expect.
