18 MIDWEEK MARCH 15, 2023
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 12, 2023 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 12, 2023
The cosmos send an energetic zest that is guaranteed to move us forward this week. Whatever you need to do or to get done, do it now.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
This can be a wonderful time to plan for the future, Pisces. Find ways to solidify your holdings and create a more secure financial arrangement for yourself and loved ones. You have the ability to think more strategically and have the confidence to make some momentous decisions. Assess the risks and do your homework first.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
This is the time of year when you feel especially robust and confident, Aries. Future plans look attainable, and the crowds love what you are doing. Get out into all of the activity and command all of the attention. You wow others and they, in turn, help you however they can. You can even be a bit demanding.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
There is so much activity swirling around and behind you that you may be tempted to take a chance based on intuition alone. Should you go with your gut feelings, Taurus? They are fairly on target and background forces appear to be working in your favor. Assess the risk, test the atmosphere and go forth to spread your inspiration.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Your social life gets an added oomph of energy, filling your calendar to overflowing. The post pandemic list of things to do opens up many possi- bilities with not only interesting but also exciting stuff. The temptation is to accept all invitations but try not to overextend. You want to be able to fully enjoy every encounter, Gemini.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
This is a great time to implement any long-term plans or focus on profes- sional goals. What is it that you really want to achieve, Cancer? You have clarity of vision and the ability to maneuver through any confusing or challenging landscape. Be strategic and go forth. The time to accomplish what you need to accomplish is now.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
If you have been feeling a little stuck in place, you can now break free and explore. Your life needs some excitement, Leo. Find ways to experiment, break out of old patterns and routines, and otherwise refresh your perspective. Travel or take a new route home. There are wonderful life experiences becoming apparent.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Explore what is going on in your love life, Virgo. There may be wonderful opportunities to enliven any routine relationship or otherwise expand your capacity to express love and a bit of lust. Let your emotions guide you and see where you can find deeper emotions and discover more about yourself in the process.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
You can meet people where they are mentally, Libra. That means that any confusion or disagreement can be overcome and clarified. The results are very satisfying and lead you to a new and stronger understanding with others. Build your alliances and strengthen links. Your net becomes stronger and more expansive.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
You are especially efficient and productive, Scorpio. Whatever projects that have been dormant and gathering dust can now be handled and finished off once and for all. Great! Roll up your sleeves and get to work. The amount of effort will not seem too great while your sense of accom- plishment will feel very great.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Whatever creative thoughts and inspirations you have can blossom and grow as time goes by, Sagittarius. Get deeply involved in a great effort by either joining others in a large artistic festival or leading a group yourself. The main idea is to have fun, inspire others, decompress, relax and make the world more beautiful.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Focus more on what needs to be done around the house to make it more comfortable and useful to you. Capricorns may have a long to-do list
of things they want and need to tackle. You now have the energy and creativity to accomplish even the most detailed of tasks. The possibilities are endless as is your ability to achieve.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Whatever opinions you have on a subject can be shared and acted upon. Aquarians often have expansive and wide-ranging ideas that can transform a landscape. Now there are no restrictions on what you can accomplish and who you can reach. Start on the local level and expand from there. Your influence grows.
