18 MIDWEEK JULY 27, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, July 24, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, July 24, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Expect a series of surprising events that might be caused by our own decisions. Think before you act and even then, ponder some more.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Your long-term plans may be in for a big shift now, Leo. Anything that you have been working toward could wind up not as interesting, or something even more relevant may come into your view. Whatever shifts your perspective, go slow in that direction. Monitor your degree of satisfaction as you go. There is more for you on the horizon.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Virgos with a hankering to travel can do so now. But try to be flexible — your plans may change along the way. You find new and creative ways to expand your horizon and get out of your old routines. Travel at any rate
is more changeable nowadays. The secret is to remain flexible. It is much more fun that way anyway!
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Your love life will be anything but dull now, Libra. What is it that gets others so feisty around you? Find ways to make any deep relationship work better for you. That may involve more surprising moves or it may require a more sedate and careful approach. You will know what is what and your best moves. The question is who is who for you.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Working with or relating to others suddenly becomes a bit more interesting. Did I say interesting? I meant challenging. But this is a good opportunity for you, Scorpio. You innately know how to influence people and this will give you a chance to hone your interaction skills. You are the master of the partnership. Be kind.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Long-postponed projects suddenly get a jolt of activity, Sagittarius. Dive into whatever has been gathering dust on your calendar. It is time to complete what you have started, but do so with much more planning and careful thought. You don’t want to waste a drop of extra energy on anything that is not worth it. Don’t stress it.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns are coming up with some extraordinary and creative ideas now. There are no boundaries to your imagination — anything is possible and it all sounds magnificent. Which ones are practical and which ones may not be worth the effort? Find others who can weigh in on the decision. Sometimes, three brains are better than one.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Family plays a more important role in your life than you expect, Aquarius, whether it is in reunions or even genealogy. Find ways to smooth connec- tions in this area. It can lead to surprises, excitement and future benefit. You may also consider sprucing up your overall surroundings. Will you renovate or decorate or move? Plan carefully.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
You are not only extra eloquent, Pisces, but you are also filled with some monumental ideas. These are things that you have been thinking about for a while and are about ready to share them with the immediate world. This may lead to political possibilities. Share some of your philosophies and see how others react.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Anything that you think you have correctly budgeted for may turn out to be a bit more expensive than you first thought. This can cause you to reevaluate certain purchases. You need to prioritize now, Aries. But this is a good thing. Planning now for finances can lead you to a cushier and more secure future. Save and see.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
You never know what type of first impression you will make now. Taure- ans can come off as bold or even pushy. My advice is to think about what type of impression you want to make and go slowly to make that happen. Those who you meet now can figure prominently into your future plans. Let’s get off on the best foot forward.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
There is so much going on behind the scenes that Geminis may not be able to take all of this in at one time. Listen to your intuition and carefully maneuver through the fog. You never know where the cosmos will lead you, but you certainly want to be as prepared as possible to make the most of it. Karma carries you forward.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Cancers will gravitate to large groups and organizations where the possibilities for new friendships are enormous. If you have been feeling isolated or lonely, you needn’t feel that any longer. In fact, you are poised to make a big impression on others. Figure out how you want to go forward and spread your social influence by any means possible.
