22 MIDWEEK AUGUST 17, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 14, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, August 14, 2022
BY MADAM LICHTENSTEIN
This week delivers us a practical and earthy perspective. Got something to do? Roll up your sleeves and just do it ... and right now!
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
As you have found over the past few weeks, focusing on expenses and earnings pays off in unexpected ways. Your efforts here enable you to feel more in control of your overall life path and give you more freedom to do what you want. Leos are generous souls, but sometimes a little personal gain is not only necessary but also beneficial to all.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
If you find yourself in the center of all of the action, enjoy all of the attention, Virgo. Open up and embrace the possibilities. Your energy level is especially high and your ability to charm people is unsurpassed. Reach out, make some careful moves and see where some new acquaintances can take you. What are you waiting for?
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Whatever you are expecting to happen in a certain situation may not be exactly what you expect. In fact, there is a good chance it will turn out even better than you thought. So, keep your sunny side up, Libra, and embrace optimism. Secrets spill, mysterious intuitions abound and all sorts of karmic stuff rises to the top. Float on it.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Friends are there when you need them, Scorpio. And you may find that you need them a little more than usual now. You need someone to help spark your best ideas and keep you company on certain adventures. If you are so inclined, find new groups or organizations to join. Life is much more fun with a group involvement.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Professional commitments seem to expand as more people seek your expertise. That is great, Sagittarius. Your biggest challenge is to balance your time and not over-promise. Your long-term plans seem to fall into place
and your path to success can reveal itself. What will you do when you finally reach your goal?
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
It’s time to spread your wings, Capricorn, and take flight to new and exciting life experiences. Whether that means actual travel or a new course of study that expands your mind and talents is up to you. The most important thing to do is to get out of your comfort zone and see the world in a new way. Life should not be boring.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Aquarians delving deep into their psyche can find answers to some long-term mysteries and questions. Allow yourself time to explore your motivations and sense of self. Enable others to reveal to you some of their observations. Allow yourself to love fully, give all that you have to give and reap the benefits of personal growth.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Reaching out to others will have significant benefits for you, Pisces. Nurture those relationships that give you strength and pleasure. Heal those rela- tionships that need more tender care and are worth preserving. Finally, step back from those relationships that need too much repair. There will be time to handle those in the future.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
Aries have ample reserves of energy now to complete any task that has been gathering dust on their work schedule. Why not finish off things so you can free your time and fill it with more pleasant activities. You will also be able to address any health-related issues and begin to feel more in control of where you want to go.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Whatever activities you may be planning, this is a great time to put them into motion. Your imagination is in top form and your ability to make things happen is charging up. What’s holding you back, Taurus? Allow yourself the creative freedom to paint up your landscape with art, parties, pastimes, festivities and overall fun.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Family get-togethers are in your future, Gemini. Find ways to bring folks together and just relax. There are loose connections that can be strength- ened and joint projects that can benefit others. And, if you are considering any home renovation, this can be a productive time to take your ideas a few steps forward. Expand and engage.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
You know what you’re talking about, Cancer, and have many great ideas just waiting to be shared. This is the perfect time to express yourself, share your carefully considered opinions and find ways to get your messages to as many specific people as possible. Who knows where it can all lead?
