30 MIDWEEK MAY 26, 2021
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 23, 2021 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 23, 2021
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Bigger and better can now extend beyond our abilities to control them. Luck
amplifies, but how can we best manage and leverage it? Stay tuned ...
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Too many career demands may cause extra stress and a questioning of your current professional path. Where can you go from here, Gemini? The temptation is to decide quickly to radically shift direction — but don’t. Be deliberate in your strategies. Give things time to rebalance and slow down. Life can look very different in a few weeks.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Life suddenly becomes exciting. The world opens up to you, and the oppor- tunities for travel and a completely new perspective on life are and vast. Maybe too vast for your comfort, Cancer. While you feel compelled to jump into the swirling cosmos, wait for the best time and the right opportunity.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
If the past year has been quiet for your love life, Leo, expect a lot more action now. Life perks up. You feel more confident and inquisitive. Don’t be sur- prised if many admirers vie for your attention. It may be almost too much of a good thing! Take it slow. Be selective and enter into any love relationship with care and deliberation. It should last.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Expect movement and change in a particular relationship, Virgo. While some partnerships might have fallen into a humdrum routine, there is now an opportunity to jazz things up. But before you begin to rock and roll, make sure that you can control the movement and direction to your liking. You don’t want things to get out of control. Or do you?
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Work assignments can become almost unmanageable now, Libra. There are so many interesting and seemingly important projects. It might be hard for you to decide what you should complete right away and which you can defer or delegate. Take your time deciding, even if you feel the need to act immediately. Strategic decision-making pays off.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Have fun, Scorpio, but be sure that the fun you choose is more play than work. Planning a big party, for example, is a huge task if you do it on your own. It may also require a lot more work to recruit helpers. Enjoy life in little, chewable bites. You’ll find that the big and impressive can wait until you have exhausted many of the small and intimate.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Family projects, events and issues take up more of your time now, Sagittar- ius. As much as you feel that you can manage everything that is going on around you, there may be times when you feel overwhelmed by all of the frenzy. Learn to take breaks and sit back and slowly enjoy everything and everyone around you. Life is too short.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Anything you say, no matter how quietly or measured, could take on mammoth proportions. You have great ideas and strategic insights that are very valuable to others. Capricorns have the power of the word now but should be careful to use this power sparingly and carefully. You can move mountains but be careful as to where they will land.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Money issues continue to be a big part of your thought process, Aquarius. It comes and goes, but now it moves with greater velocity and less personal control. Before finances spin off and out, take time to sit back and think carefully of what you want and what you need. Then you can slowly put your plans in place for your future growth and security.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Whatever personal project you have in mind, it can take off like a rocket, Pisces. People naturally gravitate to you as you draw an adoring crowd wherever you go. Think practically before you commit to a particular direc- tion, or a set of advisers and influencers. Slow and steady gets you where you want to go. Tomorrow will be yours to control.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
The world becomes a huge cosmic egg for you, Aries, full of potential and opportunity. But where do you start? What can you effectively hold to better manage your future success? The possibilities become too enormous. But make a decision and choose. Whatever happens will either be a reward or a learning experience. Both are valuable.
TAURUS (APRIL21-MAY21)
Taureans should assess their current friendships. Are these connections ben- eficial, fertile and mutually happy? Some are, some are not. Take your time to decide which ones require too much effort to continue. Everything seems too big to handle now. In a few weeks, these issues shrink to a happier size.
