22 MIDWEEK DECEMBER 21, 2022
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, December 18, 2022 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, December 18, 2022
Starting this week, whatever luck and pluck we have goes into overdrive. Get
your good vibes in gear and plow ahead into joy. Ho, ho, ho.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
Sagittarians are not only in the holiday mood, but they can also create the mood wherever they go. Your inspiration soars. Get especially jolly and spread your good cheer into the darkest of corners. Plan some festivities and add some creative and artistic surprises. This can be a season of happy memories, or at least some great times.
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
This time of year is usually great for bringing family together — but for you, Capricorn, it is imperative. Find ways of connecting or reconnecting with relatives and sharing happy moments. This effort gives you greater grounding and a big appreciation for your family history. Explore experi- ences together and gain great understanding.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
There is something about you, Aquarius, that gets the attention and ap- preciation of others. I think it is your compelling style of communication, as well as your overall opinions that get others excited and motivated. Craft your message carefully and give it some air. You never know how far it can take you and your dreams.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
Expect some relief from any money stresses you have been feeling, Pisces. It seems like all of your past efforts to invest, budget, and plan are starting to pan out and grow. The money seeds you have planted are beginning to sprout. Keep doing what you are doing, keep a careful eye on expenses and enjoy what Santa brings.
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
You can take on the world and win, Aries. At least that is how you feel now that everything you have been working on suddenly takes off and goes forward. Expand your circle of influence as your natural charisma goes full steam and your ability to wrest luck from any situation is strong. Show them how great you are.
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
Just when you least expect, luck and promise shine through the fog. Taureans have much more going for them than they think as help from secret Santas or unexpected corners comes their way effortlessly. See how you can be your best person and also get the best out of others. It is a season of giving and hope. Spread it around.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
Whenever you need a little extra sunshine, friends will be there to give it to you, Gemini. They offer you greater support, confidence and company to keep the crazy holiday stresses under control. Expand your social set by joining new clubs, organizations or groups. You can never have too many friends around, especially now.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Your future plans are getting closer to the present, Cancer. Anything that you have been working toward, especially in your professional realm, suddenly seems closer than ever. You can expand your presence on any scene. This means that whatever you are doing, keep doing it. There is no time like now to grab for success.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
If you have been feeling like a lion stuck in a cage, the next few months will open up the door to adventure. Leos begin to feel expansive, explor- ative, and very excited about the prospects of traveling and discovering new vistas. Allow yourself the time and opportunity to recapture the feeling of freedom and fun.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Will there be a burst of love in your life now, Virgo? Your need for connec- tion increases and your ability to express your emotions hits a high note. All is possible to those of you who desire it. Use this time to explore your passions and see who figures prominently in your dreams. The holidays deliver an entirely new outlook.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras seek harmony and balance in their lives, and it is now possible
to achieve this by strengthening certain relationships. Find ways to reconnect with those with whom you have lost touch and make other connections even stronger. Your ability to get strength from the energies of many happy partnerships is the best gift.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
Scorpios have lots of extra energy this holiday season, and they may also find that they can channel these energies effectively. You feel more robust and in control of your life. Manifest your innate ability to get things done. If you need help, you can even get a few colleagues to help you out. What is on your plate? Yum.
