22 MIDWEEK AUGUST 24, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 21, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 21, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Consider all of your options now. Careless short-term thinking can have long-lasting implications. Go methodically with any important life decision.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Your major creative efforts may be stymied as you recognize that some ideas need more time to germinate. What you see as a worldwide phenomenon may need a waiting period to catch on. You are ahead of the general public, Virgo.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Expect some slow-moving changes in family dynamics, Libra. Rela- tionships that once seemed predictable are now more surprising and dynamic. That is good news — sometimes a little shake-up is good to clear the dust and get things moving again. For now, carefully survey the landscape and see where your greatest opportunities are.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Your words move mountains now, Scorpio. But before you offer up any strong opinions, check the temperature of the crowd and perhaps hold off. There are those in your personal sphere who are currently undergoing a seismic change. What they want today could change by tomorrow.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Sagittarians sometimes have their heads in the clouds as they trip on the sidewalk. There are so many great ideas rolling around in your head that you may get heady. See which ones can really pay off, whether monetari- ly, socially or creatively. Then, carefully curate your moves so that, soon enough, you are where you want to be.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
I see your personal transformation, Capricorn. Are you considering chang- ing your look or your interests or even your social circle? This process is evolving and you may find that you are changing your mind and assessing the financial impact of your plans as new and enticing options present themselves. Just go with the flow.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
There is more to life than the day-to-day grind. There are so many nice avenues for you to explore that can expand your mind, open yourself up to unexpected possibilities and lead you to a place where you can truly feel in balance. That is a bit of a journey that will take time, Aquarius. Happily, you already started that journey.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Unexpected challenges should not dissuade your from your progress, Pisces. In fact, they are useful tools to help you test your communications with friends and any new associates. Allow yourself time to craft your message and measure the response. You may find that you are about to convince the most important people.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Be sure you understand the financial impact of any of the long-term plans you are considering at this time, Aries. The overall social and professional landscape shows great opportunity, especially if you enter into every decision as if it could be costlier than you expect. Be prudent and thrifty. Plan now and reap rewards later.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
What will catapult you into fame, Taurus? It’s hard to tell as the full range of possibilities is still evolving. What I see is that it takes time and careful consideration for you to place yourself exactly where you want (and deserve) to be in the global community. For now, take baby steps and see how each step moves you forward.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
There will be more than the usual amount of unexpected events circling your life now, Gemini. This should not pull you off your intended path. Rather, all surprises that now occur will help illuminate what you need to do to fulfill your destiny. So, take all the breadcrumb clues and bake a delicious direction for yourself.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Relying on certain people — friends, lovers and partners — might make you reconsider a certain current set of relationships. Dynamics have a way of evolving and what you need from others could shift. But use this time to review and assess, Cancer. Hold off on any definitive action, as how you relate to others is constantly changing.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Your world continues to expand. How good are you at harnessing that expansion and making it work for you? Stress may occur with those who want you to stay exactly as you are. But as you realize your potential, you may chafe at staying exactly the same. Balance is everything, Leo. Slowly test the waters before you dive in.
