30 MIDWEEK DECEMBER 14, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, December 11, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, December 11, 2022
This week heralds a more introspective time. Let’s become a bit more practical and think of ways to strategically go forward for future success.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Whatever you have your eye on to acquire, you might just get it now. Suddenly it seems like you have all of the answers, Sagittarius, as well as the best avenues to get there. Your ability to carefully ascertain what is needed monetarily is at a high. Mine your innate knowledge and do your extra homework. Then, take action.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Whatever shyness you may have, overcome it and make your big splash on the scene. Capricorns can be hesitant but now you need to fully showcase what you want. There will be those who help you out, and there will be those who will follow you on your impressive journey. Make the most of this special and powerful time.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Pull back and see the full landscape, Aquarius. You have a certain prophetic ability that will enable you to avoid the pitfalls and mine the great opportunities in your big cosmic journey. Find ways to de-stress and increase your mellowness. You only have a few weeks before you need to get back into the action. For now, chill.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces seek connection. It is a great time to expand your social network and get involved in a range of group activities. You have an opportunity to meet new exciting people who can introduce you to all types of new interests. One thing leads to another. Life is not boring as long as you get off your couch and out your front door.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Whatever you have been expecting in your career may undergo a read- justment as you realize that whatever you are working toward now needs a little tweak. But this pivot is a good thing, Aries. Forging ahead in an old direction may be a waste of energy. A new year is coming and who knows what new things are in store?
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Your yearning for an expansive experience may come to pass, Taurus. The past few months might have felt too routine and perhaps a bit restrictive. Toss off your expectations and start to fully explore your world. Plan some interesting vacations or, if time and money are tight, find some fascinating places closer to home.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
It will all be about you, you, you, Gemini. What are your deepest needs? What stirs your inner embers and gives you greater passion? All will be revealed now as you fully embrace who you are and what you need from life. You may even be surprised at how much you have evolved and how confident you have become.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
This is a great time to explore and evaluate all of the different relation- ships that circle your orbit. Cancers love to be part of a partnership and now you can find the best people to share your space and life. Think practically about what you need and what you expect from others. This leads to very satisfying liaisons.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
As we slowly move into a new year, you may find that a full health reappraisal and rejuvenation are in order. Overdoing and dissipation may leave you feeling sluggish and tired. Resolve to create a new robust you, Leo. Get that roar fully tuned, eat sensibly and increase your energy level with a few exercise tweaks.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Kick back and just have fun, Virgo. Your optimism runs high and your ability to fully engage in anything creative is present. Find more ways to fully celebrate your good cheer and seek helpful partners to create a full sense of joy and optimism. Spread your jolliness and see how you can enhance your personal space.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras not only feel more at home in whatever space they occupy, but they also invite others to be there with them. Gather friends and family and find ways to enhance your surroundings with convivial company. It can bring a greater sense of security and contentment while also giving your home a buzzy atmosphere.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Whatever strong opinions you may hold, now may be the best time
to share them, Scorpio. Not only are you much more introspective and strategic, bit you also sound wiser and profound. Form your ideas and the messages you need to get them to the best ears. It’s time to make inroads into your eventual world domination.
