22 MIDWEEK FEBRUARY 8, 2023
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 5, 2023 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 5, 2023
Prepare for a zesty oomph to your love life over the next few weeks. Whatever melted your heart now brings it to a boil. Embrace and enliven any amorous feelings.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
You are especially eloquent now, Aquarius, and can find successful ways to get your opinions across to a range of people. There is someone out there who can help you take the next big step. You might also become more involved in a local or neighborhood project. Before you know it, you’ll be team leader. Lead all to success.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
If you’ve been carefully saving for something special, this can be the time to get it, Pisces. Your money situation becomes more secure, and your ability to discern the most important acquisition is sharp. Take a calculat- ed risk and see how far your fiscal acumen takes you. A little splurge may be just what you need to feel great.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Not only do you feel at one with the world, but you also feel especially close to almost everyone you meet. And meet everyone, you will, Aries. Others flock to you, attracted to your charisma and enthusiasm. Whatever you decide to do with this great popularity is up to you. Try to maximize every encounter and acquaintance.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
There are those who are helping you behind the scenes, Taurus. These guardian angels may now make themselves known, but even if not, you can be comforted to know that the cosmos are working in your favor. Use this time charitably to give back to the universe. Build up those karma points for future redemption.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Place yourself in the center of all of the activity, Gemini. Friends are ready for some fun and adventure, and you are the one to plan it. You can even expand your social life by joining new clubs or organizations. Sometimes you meet the most interesting people by getting involved in groups outside of your usual spots.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
You have some big life plans that might have been sitting on the shelf for a while, Cancer. But now you may see some progress. Your ability to explain and visualize what you want and where you eventually want to go is spot on. Reach out to those who can make things happen for you. Dip into your charm and pour it on.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Think of ways to enhance your overall life experiences, Leo. You could use a refreshing restart in some areas of your life, as things might be a bit boring or overly stressful. Concentrate on what really interests you. Maybe it involves travel or an unusual, unique course of study. Expand your field of possibilities in any way possible.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
No matter how sexy you feel, others find you even sexier. Positive ener- gies ramp up your charisma and make you absolutely irresistible. What can you do, Virgo, to maximize and capitalize on all of these good vibes without wasting them? My advice is to maintain your common sense while allowing for a certain flirtation to take flight.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
There will be times when relationships can get a bit bumpy, but not now, Libra. In fact, you find that the energies in certain relationships are smoother and more compatible than usual. Enjoy the company of others and see how you can best strengthen the bonds. Improvements you accomplish now secure longer-term relations.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Scorpios may be feeling less stressed and even more relaxed than usual. This is because you are able to compartmentalize projects and people
in ways that enhance your overall work environment. Try to streamline your life, setting aside more time for self-care, and you will find that you become even more efficient.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Allow your creativity full reign, Sagittarius. You have extra doses of inspiration and enthusiasm that can be used to draw more people into your various fun events. Don’t restrict yourself to the known. Try some new and previously unknown avenues. Who knows where it can all lead? Expansion is the key to happiness now.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Beautify your home, Capricorn, and think about new ways to make your surroundings more harmonious. It may involve starting a long-term project like a renovation or it may be as simple as moving some furniture around. The most import thing is to find what works best for you both aesthetically and practically.
