18 MIDWEEK MARCH 9, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 6, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, March 6, 2022
We suddenly realize the impact of our words on others this week. Let’s find ways to communicate that build bridges to make others feel more connect- ed. The payoff will be big.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces find themselves in the center of the action. But how can you best manage all of the expectations going forward? You have a great reserve of intellect, compassion and intuition but may need more time to focus on the ultimate goal. Take the time now — as much as you need — to plan.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Sharing one or two of your personal secrets now can make all the differ- ence in certain relationships. It makes you appear more vulnerable and caring. But be strategic, Aries. This is all part of an overall plan to make sure that you are clearly in charge and ready to take positive corrective action. It may be up to you to really heal the world.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Sociable Taureans have more on their calendars than usual. Your ability to reach out to an array of friends and social groups makes you more popular than usual and in the center of any activity. Enjoy this fun time and find ways to even expand your circle. You can never have too many friends, but balancing all of them takes effort.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Long-term plans require more concentration and discussion, Gemini. Find advisers who can help you navigate the next few months, or even years. Open up serious discussions and think about it over time. Where do you want to be? The answer for that question will require circumspection and even a bit of meditation. But the answer is there.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
If you ever thought of continuing your studies, this is an excellent time to do that, Cancer. Your mind is open, fertile and ready for a vast amount of new information. You are also open to planning more travel during which you experience things that you’ve never seen before. Try a range of new experiences, even if it just means visiting a new part of town.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
If your mind turns to intimate love, go with the flow, Leo. The past two years might have been isolating. But now you seem to be feisty and interested in forming deeper relationships. Don’t prowl around the house. Ideas, plans and talk are one thing, taking action is quite another. Grrr.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Whatever connects you to others, think of ways of doing it, Virgo. Certain relationships, from business to friendships to romance, may need a bit
of an energy boost or a fuller understanding of expectations. The results can be happy, energizing and satisfying. Your ideas are on the mark, compelling and ready for some action.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras are focused more on detailed work projects and get into the nitty-gritty easily. Your mind is sharp and your attention is hyper-focused to find out what is needed and when. The best use of this energy can produce results that push you forward at work. But attention to health-re- lated projects, like exercise, will also be very beneficial.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
What mischievous fun can you conjure up now, Scorpio? Your active imagination will go on very creative and artistic journeys that will excite the world. But you can also just turn your attention to pure enjoyment, like planning a party that brings long-lost pals together.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Whatever you need to do to bring family together, do it, Sagittarius. Reach out and connect. Plan some reunions. Find diplomatic ways to bridge all of the branches. This is also a good time to plan any home renovations. A bit of sprucing up in time for spring will not only freshen your surroundings, but it will also freshen your mood.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns have the gift of gab now and they can use their charisma ef- fectively. Any ideas that have been percolating can take the next big step. What will you do with all of your conversational confidence? I suggest that you reach out to influential people to advise and help you take the next big step forward.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
This is the time to think about what you really value in life, Aquarius. Once you have figured it all out, your ability to plan and effect change will go into overdrive and assure accomplishment. You may find that what has been most important to you throughout most of your life may shift in priority. This is all part of the maturation process.
