18 MIDWEEK APRIL 6, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 3, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, April 3, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The focus is on communication this week as the cosmos steady our thoughts and gives us strength to do what we say we will do. So get up off the couch and make your history.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
If money has not been much of a focus for you recently, circumstances and events can make it much more important to you now, Taurus. Start to focus on the bottom line and use whatever practical energies you have to secure any leaks in your wallet. Your power of concentration can lead to more profitable ideas and actions.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
If you have ever dreamed of being in the limelight and meeting new and important people, this could be the time to act on your dreams, Taurus. You could be sitting on some great ideas and constructing some powerful personal projects. The time is right to consider how to best move forward.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
If life delivers you a mystery, Gemini, fine tune your best powers of investigation to solve it now. Not only are you extremely observant, but you also instinctively know what is going on below the surface of events and can follow all of the clues. Discovery leads to enlightenment. Life becomes more expansive, bright and engaging. Enjoy.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Expand your outreach to friends, friends of friends and even mere acquaintances, Cancer. Your ability to expand your social network will be accelerated now and can lead to very beneficial personal interactions. Prepare for any occasion and any type of person to engage with you.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Professional meetings have a certain level of coordination and cooper- ation, Leo. Any big project that requires lots of help and input can be launched successfully. You mind is sharp and able to cut through wasted efforts and useless ideas easily. Participate in any project where you can showcase this remarkable talent. Wow others.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
The best things you can do for yourself this week, Virgo, will require you to step out of your comfort zone. It is time to expand your horizons and see what the full world has to offer. Does it mean actual travel? Maybe, but you can also leverage this brilliant energy with study, experimentation or a new pursuit closer to home.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Whatever pulls at your heartstrings, allow your mind to be pulled along. Libras can be in love with love, but now you are thinking a bit more practically, clearly and strategically. Life leads you down some fairly interesting paths. Are you ready for an adventure of the heart or do you prefer something more sedate? It’s your choice.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Focus more on relationship building, Scorpio. There may be some that require a bit more attention and others that may need a readjustment. You have the ability to listen carefully and discern the patterns to form a good plan of what you need to do and with whom. The partnerships that you strengthen now figure prominently later.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
If you are embarking on a detailed work project that has many aspects and pitfalls, you are in luck, Sagittarius. Not only can you hyper focus on what really needs to be done, but you can also coordinate all efforts to maximum benefit. Look at the game plan, formulate your strategy and move forward with the knowledge that you can win big.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Whatever creative itches you need to scratch, Capricorn, scratch them now. You are awash with great ideas that need to be shared with the world. It is also a good time to spark a romance, take a calculated risk and do something dramatic. Dance your dance, write your great novel or otherwise contribute to the beauty of the moment.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Family reunions can be planned with expertise, Aquarius. Don’t let another day go by before you reach out to relatives and make stronger connections. Life is too short and we can feel disconnected. Your efforts now can make you feel stronger and grounded as the weeks progress.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Not only are you especially eloquent and compelling, Pisces, but you also find yourself getting in front of people with your amazing insights and plans. Focus your thoughts and prepare your speech. The future can lead to new insights about what you really want to accomplish. Use this time to build a steady foundation for your eventual success.
