26 MIDWEEK SEPTEMBER 28, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, September 25, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, September 25, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
We are about to set off on a very unusual and interesting time. Allow yourself to ebb and flow through every surprise and unexpected change. Change is good ... so they say.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
Changes in your home life may make you feel out of balance, but embrace this as an opportunity, Libra. Any adjustment brings a positive modifica- tion — whether it is a physical move or renovation or something having to do with family relationships. Go with the flow and see how things wash up on your doorstep. Then, act.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Relationships may have their ups and downs, but mostly they are a source of fascination for you, Scorpio. What is really going on between the two
of you? And how will that play out long term? Life continues to be a bit of a mystery, but also understand that you are headed in the right direction personally. Live and laugh as you go.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
You mean what you say, but are others not understanding you, Sagittar- ius? (Or, are they really not listening to you?) Try to be patient and much clearer in your communications. Use the power of your innate charm to smooth out any rough patches. You emerge successful in any grand idea that you want to put forth.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns are in for a range of changes, especially in how they look to others. Explore various ways that you can engage in the social swirl and just have fun. Reach out to family and seek stronger connections. Analyze your inner value system with an eye toward a reappraisal.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
So many things have been bubbling under the surface. Aquarians can be forgiven if they have been feeling unsteady but can now achieve greater control of certain aspects of life and learn from any past challenges. Make it all work for you so you not only reduce any stress but also better manage your financial future.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Put aside any concerns about certain people and your ability to trust them, Pisces. It’s not that you are being naive. It’s that you now realize that you have an intuitive ability to craft relationships in a way that offers more personal benefit while also making others feel good. Strive for greater harmony and romance for all.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
For Aries, the next weeks may prove to be a much-needed reassessment of who you are and what you want to do in the world. Do you join a bigger cause that can have great and positive impact, or do you go at it on your own to craft your own unique individual path?
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Expanding your global vision can inform you and lead you into making very different decisions, especially as they affect your finances, Taurus. You may surprise yourself with all of the unusual ways you can meet important people. Take time to carefully analyze your social circles in order to maximize their true value to you.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Geminis find that love is harder to manage than usual, but consider any interactions of this nature a good reset. It may all come down to how you balance your time between intimates and career. Each seems to demand more time now. You are naturally diplomatic and find the right ways to make both sides (and you) much happier.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Looking forward in the longer term, do you seek greater professional opportunity or greater personal inspiration? If you feel at a crossroads, see this as a wonderful opportunity to personally expand in several different, yet satisfying, directions. Exploration is the key to your success.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Leos find that they gain greater power through one-to-one relationships more than individual efforts. There are so many unexpected changes coming your way that in some cases, a trusted adviser can be especially valuable. Keep on your toes, get enough sleep and eat well. You are preparing yourself for success in all forms.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
If you are feeling a little sluggish, chalk it up to overextending. You now benefit from putting more effort into fun things. Let the more arduous, tiresome chores wait. Virgos are up-and-at-‘em people who are always ready to pitch in and help. Allow others to help you for a change. You deserve an enjoyable and restful reward.
