26 MIDWEEK MAY 24, 2023
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 21, 2023 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 21, 2023
Our energies are ramped up this week giving us overall oomph. See where you need to apply extra force and apply the needed zetz.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Not only are you especially chatty, Gemini, your ability to command any conversation and convince others of the value of your ideas is riding on a sugar high. You seem to know just what to say and to whom. Check out the groups you need to impress and see how you can change the landscape. You rock ... and maybe shock!
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
There is something going on for you financially this week that encourages you to take a greater risk. My advice is that before you jump into anything having to do with money, take a breath and check out all of the angles, Cancer. You may hit it big but be very sure you have all of the necessary information. Then cash in!
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
How zippy can one Leo be? You are a gravitation force that seems to pull everyone into your orbit. Cast a wide net and find those who can help
you launch some of your great ideas forward. You have the power and the enthusiasm to move mountains. So don’t procrastinate. Make the greatest first impression possible.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
You have so much pent up energy, Virgo, that it would a shame to waste it on trivial matters. This is an excellent time to gather up your karmic forces and do charitable work. Giving back to the community will not only give you greater contentment and confidence, you will also beneficially impact others’ lives and help heal the world.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras are naturally friendly folks and now you have even more charisma and verve. Solidify friendships and find numerous ways to connect with certain groups and organizations. Such encounters will feed your need for connection and enable you to better understand others’ motivations. There is no telling where this can lead.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
You make a sterling impression on those in power, Scorpio. And with your acumen and enthusiasm, you may just ascend to the top of your career ... or at least go much further than you expect at this time. Apply whatever you have to the task at hand and be sure that you get full credit for all of your contributions.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Your itchy traveling feet must be scratched now, Sagittarius. Explore new places. Find ways to get out of your routine and see the world with fresh eyes. There are places to go and people to meet — the more unique and informative the better. You never know what adventure can bring both in the present and in the future.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Your feelings cannot be contained. Your passions are on display. Allow yourself the space to make any large emotion heard but do it so that it maximizes your ability to integrate it into your core being. It gives you more balance and control especially in deep areas of your life. These are intense (and important) times, Capricorn.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Whether in business or in pleasure, the way to get things done and get the results you want often have to do with personal relationships. This is a great time to strengthen them, Aquarius, because you have greater acumen and intrinsically know what others are seeking and what they need. Now is time to get enthusiasm going.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces are feeling stronger and full of optimism now and why not? You have the ability to go the distance in any situation and seem to have reserves of extra oomph when you need it. See what you need to accom- plish in life and who you need to help out. You get all of these puzzle pieces together just in time.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
What is it about you Aries that gets others joining in your crazy conga line? You are fun personified and are a must invite to any party. You provide indefinable oomph and seem to know just what is needed to energize any low key event. See where your unique brand of personality plus leads you. Beyond the velvet rope!
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
There are more and more reasons to cocoon now, Taurus. Everything that is close to home feels so comfy and controllable that it inspires and relaxes you. Find ways to make your personal space even more personal and invite over those who give you confidence and feed your need for action. See what you can achieve.
