26 MIDWEEK JULY 6, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, July 3, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, July 3, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
The cosmos add verve and zest to our lives. And not a moment too soon! Where do you need a bit of extra love? Find the spot and apply lots of it.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Whatever is brewing in the background will begin to percolate for you, Cancer. Keep your eyes open and be ready for a surprising burst of happy coincidences. Of course, there is no such thing as pure coincidence. Everything that transpires now is really because of your astute efforts, good karma and personal efforts.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
Everything you do now will be even more successful within a greater group effort. As you proceed with anything that is near and dear to you, Leo, remember that it is more fun to share the experience with others. And you will accomplish a lot more as well. Find your tribe and plan a parade — or at least a get-together.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
You have been working so hard, Virgo, it might be a good time to take a look at where you are and where you want to go in any long-range plan. Any obstacle is temporary and any goal can be attainable. There are those who are standing by ready to help you if you would only ask.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Get out of your comfort zone as the summer progresses, Libra. Your ability to see beyond your immediate borders can refresh you and foster new ideas. While it can be a time of pure relaxation, it is also a time for personal expansion. You find that as the weeks progress, you feel more confident and more at one with the world.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
While life may feel a little more intense at this time, Scorpio, it also feels much more exciting, energizing and overall zippy. Love is in the air! Gath- er up all of the intensity and make it work for you in building confidence and solidifying certain relationships. Your ability to wow is accentuated by your innate charisma now.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Whatever connects you to others suddenly seems to strengthen and makes any relationship you choose closer and more trusting. No one is an island, Sagittarius, so choose who you want to connect to and find the soft spots where you can spread the love and good vibes. Together you can become a force for good, positive change.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Capricorns can now focus on their health and achieve great results from simple efforts. Part of these efforts will rely on a good attitude and the loving vibes of others. Get yourself in a good mental space and apply modest changes in areas like your diet and exercise. You will be happily amazed at what you can accomplish quickly.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Romance is in the air for you, Aquarius. Not only are you especially charismatic, but others also find aspects of your personality that offer an alluring pull. How can you best leverage all of this? My advice is to find opportunities to get groups together for something fun and creative. Then, you can let the flow of events take you upstream.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Pisces seem to always need a bit of extra harmony and balance in their surroundings and now is no exception. That is, except now you shouldn’t do it all on your own. The more the merrier in any home project, family reunion or other domestic endeavor from the planning to the experience. Your summer can be full of happy memories.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
There has never been a more important time to get involved in communi- ty and grassroots efforts, Aries. Your capacity for empathy is high and your ability to get wonderful and helpful things accomplished is spot on. Make your neighborhood even more beautiful and see how much good you can spread into your immediate world.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Assess and more fully appreciate all that you have accomplished in your life so far, Taurus. Your personal value system has helped to guide you, and as you look back and ahead, you can calibrate and find the perfect position from which to continue to succeed. Who knows? There may even be a pot of gold where you least expect it.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
New ideas and new projects can lead to unexpected new directions
for you, Gemini. You now begin a new journey — one that is in more harmony and beauty with your essential nature. Enjoy the burst of good affirmations, especially as you expand your social circle and seek more connections. You look fabulous. Now, go and conquer.
