22 MIDWEEK SEPTEMBER 7, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, September 4, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, September 4, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Expect the fates to throw a bit of dust and fog into your communications. The secret to success right now is to talk less and listen more.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Even as you plan for your future financial stability, there may be things going on that can delay those plans. But this is not a frustrating moment, Virgo. In fact, this lapse may encourage you to consider other options that could have better results. Sometimes a bit of dislocation can lead you to a better place for the future.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
You think you are making a fabulous first impression, Libra. But is there spinach in your teeth? Take a close look at how you are presenting yourself and see if your vibes are in tune with your inner music. You are naturally charming and charismatic, and a little extra oomph puts you over the top. A reappraisal is always good.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
All the activity behind the scenes that’s swirling around you may suddenly burst to the forefront, Scorpio. Be prepared for anything and anyone. Surprises may throw you off course initially, but you are flexible and strategic enough to deal with anything the cosmos has to offer. In fact, it all may turn out even better for you in the long run.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
There will be something about your friends that may be a little frustrating or confusing, Sagittarius. But allow yourself some down time before you react. Maybe it’s your communication to them that is not really clear. Check your message and see if you understand what you are saying. Then regroup and try again with pals.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Any long-term plan may have to wait to be implemented, Capricorn. Mes- sages to mentors may get lost or your communication may go missing. In the meantime, go through the necessary next steps in your head to see if there are things you may have missed or strategies that need tweaking.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Travel may prove to be frustrating, Aquarius. Whatever you want to do and wherever you want to go may involve a detour or a miscommuni- cation. But that doesn’t mean that you should stay home. Not at all! It means that you just need to carefully check, recheck, and monitor any travel details and luggage packing. Then, go and explore!
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Sizzly Pisces are ready to frolic. But you may need to double check with the person of your affections to see if they are ready for you. Show your love but be very cognizant of how you behave with others. Gauge their reactions and see how they are receiving your communication. Once all systems are “go,” then you can go, go, go!
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
If you think that you are being perfectly clear in your communication with partners, you might want to rethink that, Aries. Somehow, what you are saying is not getting through. Anything having to do with relationships may drive into a fog. But don’t worry. Sometimes a little fog is just what is needed ... along with patience!
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
As you prepare any detailed project, understand that there might be times when your directions go askew or you misplace some items. So it will go for a while, Taurus. Just let these nit-picky things work themselves out instead of getting frustrated. Find ways to relax and allow the fates to work their way through the system.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
As much fun as fun can usually be, there may be times when fun may seem like too much trouble. Allow your creative urges a time to rest and recharge, Gemini. You may find that a little foggy thinking or surprising artistic processes can also inspire you. Let others plan the party and just go along for the festive ride for now.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
There may be some family members who are just not listening to you, Cancer. They either don’t understand what you’re asking or they choose to hear their own voices. Don’t give it another thought. Chalk it up to a temporary miscommunication, which is exactly what it is. Allow yourself time to reflect on it all, and just smile.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
You have some really great ideas and plans. But I advise you to hold off on any outreach or implementation for a short while. There are things going on that you may not see clearly. Or, there may be people with whom you need to collaborate who are not ready for you. Why ask why, Leo? Go with the flow as things germinate.
