18 MIDWEEK JANUARY 26, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, January 23, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, January 23, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
Surprises are in store for all of us over the next few weeks. We can expect the
unexpected to bring us to places we have only dreamed about. What a wild and wonderful ride it will be.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
Your home becomes a beehive of activity, Aquarius. That means that anything you need to do to make it more comfortable could be handled expertly now. Does that require more planning than you expect? If so, sit back and allow your imagination to help you plan. You never know what crazy thought can become the genius answer.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Explore your neighborhood for sparks of opportunity, new friendships and even an inspired purpose, Pisces. Neighbors and local businesses offer you new, positive connections that make your life happier and more secure. Consider trying a new local spot or joining a local community effort. Who knows where this can all lead for you?
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries may suddenly find a pot of gold where they least expect it now. Chances are, it will enable you to take certain actions that you previously wouldn’t have been able to consider. If your wallet starts to fill up with extra money and resources, think carefully about how you can make it work for you in the long run and for powerful purposes.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
You become a powerful force for good for everyone around you, Taurus. That means you hold a special responsibility to bring enlightenment and knowledge to others who need it, and expand the range of possibilities for yourself in your life’s quest. See where the adventure leads you.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whatever you expect this week, you will receive the unexpected. And it won’t be a bad thing at all, Gemini. In fact, the cosmos have happy plans for you that can bring love and a bit of lust along the way with someone you know or someone you don’t yet know. Open up your heart to the possibilities and see what your intuition tells you.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Social situations will not only give you a renewed energy, but they can also provide you with unexpected bonuses. Expand your reach, join new clubs or associations, and otherwise expand your sphere of influence. The folks you meet now enable you to form lasting relationships. Cancers are the ones to know. Show everyone exactly what you know.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Long-term plans will have a way of expanding and offering you new and profitable opportunities for growth. But that doesn’t mean you should sit back and wait for the delivery, Leo. It means that you can make your own success through hard work and a deep focus.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Don’t allow yourself to be bored now, Virgo. There are places to go, people to see, and parties to plan and launch. Allow your imagination some room to roam and freedom to experiment. There is so much happening around you that you will miss out on all of the fun if you sit and wait for it.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Your capacity for love will expand and trickle into so many areas of your life that it can leave you floating on good vibes. Let it flow into family affairs, especially with those relatives with whom you might have lost touch or need to support emotionally. You become a happy bedrock of support. Wow, Libra, what will you do with all of this warmth?
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Relationships in need of strength, connection and reaffirmation will have it now, Scorpio. Focus on what and who brings you joy and comfort, and multiply it with outreach and support. You have a lot of opinions on the matter and can share your thoughts with others in a productive and meaningful way. Allow yourself to connect.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Hard and diligent work will have a huge payoff for Sagittarians now. That is because you can find ways to hyperfocus on what exactly needs to be done and, as you do it, lucky shortcuts appear to you. What do you need to finish? What do you need to accomplish? This is the time to make your best moves so you can relax and enjoy later.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Sparks of creativity can lead to new ideas and personal successes for you now, Capricorn. Allow yourself time to explore your artistic side. There will be times when you feel like you have discovered the secrets of the universe. If so, use your insights to propel you into new and influential circles of contacts. Who knows where it will all lead?
