MARCH 1, 2023 MIDWEEK 22
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 26, 2023 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, February 26, 2023
Cosmic forces this week enable us to better understand the ups and downs of life and maneuver through them expertly. Gather your best intuitive vibes and check out any situation.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
You begin to give a careful, balanced and curated first appearance, Pisces. This gives you gravitas and impact as you meet new important people. The foundations you create now will greatly (and positively) impact your future course. Remember to be slow and steady and smart and serious.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Secrets you once thought could undo you seem to waft into the atmosphere and evaporate. Whatever is hidden is not as scary as you may think, Aries. In fact you have all of the energy and gusto to handle any surprise that life doles out. So get yourself into stealth mode and prepare to fight any nasty gremlins ... and win.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Friends who need help might get you into a challenging situation. But don’t fear, Taurus. You know everything there is to know about how to get out of a sticky social situation. Use your considerable charm and skill to woo those who need wooing and check anyone who needs checking. A happy balance is at hand.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Any professional path you undertake may now have a pothole or two in it, but this situation is easy for you to fix, Gemini. Your past experiences in this area well prepares you to take matters into your own hands and solve any problem. Go forth and make your success.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
If you have been feeling bored and stuck in the same old routine, it’s time to shake things up. Get ready to make some positive change. Expand your world and increase the excitement with out-of-the-box experiences. Also expect to be challenged (in a good way) Cancer. Sometimes we need some pushback to go even further.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Deeply held beliefs need to undergo a reappraisal, Leo. What you thought was sacrosanct may be old thinking on your part. Good! A refresh and review as the landscape changes is important for future growth and success. Allow yourself the mental space to take in all of the facts and meld them with your past experiences.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Certain relationships may not be as supportive as they once were. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t evolve and be better. This is the lesson that you may face, Virgo; how can you best improve your interactions with those who are important to you. Through this process you will not only feel affirmed but also confident.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras may have been taking on too much responsibility and projects, resulting in unnecessary stress. It’s time to take a cold clear eye to every- thing you say you need to do and start to prioritize. Your attention needs to focus and your efforts need to be appreciated and effective. Start now so you can be a force of nature later.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Whatever inspired you in the past may have lost a bit of its luster for you, Scorpio. It’s a good time to review your creative interests and see what sparks your imagination. Explore pastimes that have the potential to bring you joy. Some may be a variation on an old theme and others may be totally new. See what happens.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Family dynamics are always a give and take, Sagittarius. That is why you might now reassess the balance between what you give and what you take, based on past experiences. Your ability to measure any domestic situation is now expert. So find ways of improving and increasing the harmony in your surroundings.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Your ability to effectively communicate has been honed by years of experience, Capricorn. Now prepare to form and reframe your personal outlook to better reflect current times and situations. Use what you have learned and what you instinctively know to spread your opinions and place yourself in a position of greater authority.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
How can you best manage your money, Aquarius? The best route to riches comes at a time when your past experiences can be used to inform your direction and degree. Focus on what you need in the long term and what amount of risk you are comfortable taking. Then research carefully, use your common sense and go forth.
