26 MIDWEEK MAY 10, 2023
RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 7, 2023 RELEASE DATE—Sunday, May 7, 2023
The cosmos expands our world in new ways. Expect a burst of energy and luck that you can manifest for the long term. Wow!
TAURUS (APRIL 21-MAY 21)
You are brimming with charisma and charm, Taurus. What can you do with all of this pent up energy that will help you better succeed in any of your long term plans? The cosmos may provide an answer. The secret of your success is to keep your sunny attitude and make yourself available to any social group that interests you.
GEMINI (MAY22-JUNE21)
There is so much happy energy going on in the background that you may be forgiven to think that you are just plain lucky, Gemini. Ride the mellow wave of goodness and see where it deposits you. The best way to maximize this energy is to give back through charitable work. Good karma multiplies and leads to long term happiness.
CANCER (JUNE22-JULY23)
Friends are not only a source of great fun they are also wonderfully attuned to your many moods and provide important support to you when you need it. So embrace your social circle, Cancer, and see how much you can get involved in group efforts over the next month. It bolsters your confidence and gives you many new ideas.
LEO (JULY24-AUGUST23)
There are those in power that will finally recognize your own greatness, Leo. Make yourself available to those who can influence your path and give you a helping hand where and when you need it. Your ability to harness power and also charm those with it is at a high point. Don’t procrastinate. Get on your path to success.
VIRGO (AUGUST24-SEPTEMBER23)
Expansion is the keyword for you now, Virgo. Anything that gets you out of your usual routine and spices up your life will be very welcome and necessary. It ramps up your drive and your energy level and gives you an entirely new perspective on the world. This turn of mind may also lead to new solutions to long term issues.
LIBRA (SEPTEMBER24-OCTOBER23)
Libras have much more than their fair share of sexiness and allure. Be prepared for a rush of new admirers and a ramping up of current amours. If you are searching for perfection, you may find it now by tweaking a current romance or finding a new one. But allow your mind to have a vote. Your emotions are on Cloud 9.
SCORPIO (OCTOBER24-NOVEMBER22)
What is it about relationships that garner all of your attention now, Scorpio? Maybe it’s because you realize how important certain people are to you and how much you value them in your life. If you have reached that point, be sure that you reconnect with them and strengthen the bonds between you for the long term.
SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER23-DECEMBER22)
There will be times when you feel that you have too much to do, Sagittarius. But that feeling passes quickly as you also find that you can accomplish much more than you think. Your mind is especially active and expansive and you are able to find more shortcuts and opportunities to enlist others to help. So get started!
CAPRICORN (DECEMBER23-JANUARY20)
Fun seems a bit overwhelming now, Capricorn. That is because everyone seems to want you at their event or have your creative input in any planning stage of a project. Parse out your time carefully and don’t waste any of that artistic juice on just any old thing. You have inspiration galore and should use it for your own benefit.
AQUARIUS (JANUARY21-FEBRUARY19)
Home is where your heart is, Aquarius. That means that any home or home improvement project that has been waiting to get started can get started now. But be sure that your plans are within achievable param- eters. Your desire to think big may overwhelm any modest plans. Start small and build up to a mansion.
PISCES (FEBRUARY20-MARCH20)
You seem to know just what to say to other that motivate and compel them to act, Pisces. This gift of gab is not only particularly special it is also your ticket to success. So think carefully about what you want to say, find the right person to say it to and see what great things can happen. Are politics in your future? Hmm....
ARIES (MARCH21-APRIL20)
If you feel a bit more financially solvent and confident, see if your feelings are due to actually having more disposable income or if your outlook on money management has shifted. While there could be an extra pot of gold that turns up, try not to spend any of it before you have cash in hand, Aries. I suggest investing first.
