Daily Horoscopes for April 22nd

General Daily Horoscope

Romantic Venus entered ardent Aries yesterday, heating up the relationship landscape. Today anything can happen when Venus joins unpredictable Uranus. Emotional lightning can electrify our desires and we won’t likely be satisfied by familiar routine. However, the Moon enters cautious Capricorn at 6:24 am EDT, reminding us that acting on our unrestrained feelings isn’t always the smartest idea. Some fantasies are better left unfulfilled.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are totally ready for whatever experiences the day may bring. However, you might also wish that you had more stability in your life now. These divergent feelings can grow into a real dilemma, especially if you aren’t willing to admit that a part of you is very comfortable to continue with your same old patterns. Once you acknowledge your basic need for security, you can move on to whatever comes next.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t easily satisfied as your key planet Venus joins eccentric Uranus, tempting you to reach for something or someone that you cannot have now. However, you don’t need to waste your time trying to fulfill your transitory desires today. Instead, try applying yourself toward meeting your current obligations. Although being responsible doesn’t sound as much fun as chasing a dream, the rewards should justify your total concentration.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You want to hang out with your friends this evening, but it will be tricky to actually follow through with your wishes. Someone who’s close to you may need your assistance and you can’t ignore a request for your help. It’s important to process any unexpressed anger or resentment you have over a change of plans so that it doesn’t get in the way of a meaningful experience. Being flexible enables you to make the most of a difficult situation.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s important to put on a happy face, even if you’re struggling with serious issues today. However, this tactic isn’t a license to avoid the pressing issues of the day. Your smartest strategy is to stay aware of the current duality; remember that your inside and outside are following different scripts now and there isn’t any need to fit everything into a tidy package. The stress will settle down and then the dilemma will probably just fade away.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Your mind is on your well-being today with the Moon activating your 6th House of Routine, and you may be reconsidering ways to improve your diet and upgrade your exercise program. The problem is that you are also looking forward to a bit of indulgent behavior — and this may be incongruent with your plans for healthier living. Remember, your approach doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing strategy. Don’t be overly self-critical just because you’re human. Cut yourself some slack and enjoy earthly pleasures while you can.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although the responsible Capricorn Moon assures that you are being practical, you’re still looking for some fun today. Fortunately, work and play aren’t incompatible, but you could run into a problem when trying to balance the two. Life becomes more complicated if someone throws you a curve ball by inviting you to do something special. Your tendency is to say no, but it’s a smart idea to take a chance and say yes.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may shock someone today by spilling the beans about what you want before you even think to censor yourself. Once you speak your piece, however, there’s no way to take back your words — even if you wish you could. Inadvertently hurting someone’s feelings isn’t your idea of successful communication, so think about your impact before you open your mouth and say what’s on your mind.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You might believe that you’re being lighthearted and playful, but your words can carry sharp hooks today, even if your intentions are all good. You are a champion of sarcasm now; your dry humor and your incisive wit may be more biting than you realize. Don’t tone down your ideas; just make sure that you express the truth with kindness.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your current dilemma could pit your desire for fun against your more responsible need to save money. Your financial condition may be unstable now, yet you don’t want your lack of expendable cash to deter your big weekend plans. Fortunately, you may discover that it’s easier than you thought to cut back on unnecessary spending without negatively affecting your quality of life.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

These last several days have been rather strange, as if steady winds are blowing in from other dimensions. Now, however, the otherworldliness dissipates and your life begins to return to normal. Don’t waste time attempting to figure out where you’re going; just focus on what needs to be done for others. Your greatest pleasure comes from being productive in the present moment, not dreaming about the unknown future.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The thrill ride continues and, although you have gained some common sense, your imagination has also been unlocked. Thankfully, you can distinguish between your dreams and reality today, but there’s interference on all your communication lines, so it’s impossible to speak with the same clarity you feel. Move through all discussions deliberately, while making certain everyone understands what you’re saying before moving on to the next subject.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It seems as if someone’s trying to make you feel guilty, especially if you are rebellious and do something now that’s just for yourself. But it’s not your job to keep everyone happy while you are left unfulfilled. This can be a great time to experiment and express yourself in radical ways because the security-conscious Capricorn Moon prevents you from taking your unorthodox behavior too far.

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 20th

General Daily Horoscope

A new astrological month begins as the Sun enters Taurus at 6:17 am EDT. The Bull symbolizes the power of spring’s rising energy. What began last month must gain structure to endure, but the Sun’s cooperative sextile with imaginative Neptune emphasizes the importance of our dreams in creating reality. Meanwhile, the Moon shifts into adventurous Sagittarius at 2:49 am, reflecting our need to reach beyond the ordinary for meaning.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’ve been going at full throttle for a while, but it’s finally time to slow down and enjoy what you’ve accomplished. However, this won’t be as easy as it sounds, even with the Sun’s move into earthy Taurus today. You may be more determined now to relax, but there’s still a pile of planets clustered in fiery Aries, so don’t judge yourself too harshly if it still takes a while for your energy to settle down.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Sun returns to your sign today, boosting your energy and restoring your confidence in your ability to finish whatever you start. But as your rigidity increases, you also realize the inadequacy of your current strategy. Being aware of your limitations is just as important as believing you can do anything. A familiarity with your shortcomings can be an asset, but your chances for success will be improved by concentrating primarily on your strengths.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury nears the end of its retrograde phase, yet runs into a bit of trouble today when it opposes powerful Saturn, blocking your regular avenues of communication. Someone may appear to be working against you, but, luckily, you have the patience to sort out everything. If you can tighten your logic, you should be able to make your case effectively. When the time comes, don’t embellish your presentation; the facts will tell the story well enough on their own.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may already believe that your life will get easier for you, even if you aren’t fully ready to trust your intuition. The Sun’s entry into your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes can shine a new light on what makes you happy. Instead of having to fight for your ideas, you are entering a phase when your peers will stand behind you. Don’t let old fears sabotage your endeavors. Have a little faith in your friends and graciously accept their support when they offer it.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be confronted today by someone who threatens your status. Unfortunately, this conflict could turn sour, even if you did nothing wrong. Obviously, you don’t have to admit that you were at fault, only that you’re sorry to have made the situation any worse. A heartfelt apology can clear the air and free everyone to move on.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might think you have a smarter idea for nearly everything today, but that doesn’t mean your way is really the best course of action. Unfortunately, you could be so sure of yourself now that you’ll take on anyone who disagrees with your plan. Thankfully, you should come to your senses before an argument reaches the point of no return. In a fight to the finish, there will be no winners, so find common ground and build a consensus from that point on.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are feeling a bit spacey now and even though you have some interesting and creative ideas, it’s difficult for you to express them. Normally, you’re able to maintain a healthy perspective, but today you could grow obsessive by trying too hard to make your point. It’s counterproductive to worry about what others think. Just share what’s on your mind and then let it go.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A discussion could escalate into a power struggle today, even if your intention is to return to simplicity. The Sun’s entry into placid Taurus lures you into believing the disarming illusion that relationships can always be bucolic. But conflict may return when you remember that you’re not interested in compromising your zest for life. Passion is still more important to you than comfort alone.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Conversations with co-workers can blow someone’s feelings out of proportion today, adding plenty of confusion to the situation. The more you try to talk it out, the more complicated it becomes. Part of the problem is that it’s easy to make broad sweeping statements that are based upon generalities. Instead, be picky and stick to the details. The more specific you can be now, the less time it will take to resolve the current misunderstanding.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You feel your strength returning and are eager to be productive, even if there are tricky communication issues that need to be managed today. You might be inclined to jump in and tackle a problem directly, but this isn’t the best approach now. Your compulsive need to gain closure on an emotional issue may warp your perspective, so wait for your clarity to return before saying something you’ll regret.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have thoughts that seem so astounding today you cannot let go of them. But you might be afraid to share your ideas for fear that others will steal them from you. Your current paranoia isn’t likely based on what’s happening now, but rather on a memory about someone once getting credit for what you did. Reframing old disappointments is part of a therapeutic process, as long as you’re willing to acknowledge the difference between the past and the present.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your fantasies seem larger than life today, yet there’s little chance that you’ll get lost in them because the practical Taurus Sun keeps you firmly grounded. Listen closely to your intuition, as knowledge is revealed through the practice of meditation, yoga and other relaxation techniques. But this inward focus can be a waste of time unless you follow through in the outer realms, too. Once you are clear about your goals, you’ll have a better idea of what to do next.

Daily Horoscopes for April 18th

General Daily Horoscope

We are pushed to emotional extremes with the Moon’s entry into passionate Scorpio at 2:18 am EDT. However, an ongoing tug-of-war between our personal needs and anyone who stands in our way may reach a turning point today. The tension grows to a crescendo as impulsive Mars opposes restrictive Saturn, demanding that we find balance prior to continuing our journey. Instead of struggling to power forward, we must reconsider less aggressive options.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may attempt to take a shortcut today, hoping that no one will notice. Luckily, you are clever enough to fool others with your scheme, but only for a little while. Unfortunately, outmaneuvering reality by trying to control the situation won’t work for you now. A smarter approach would be to temper your over-the-top story with a healthy dose of pragmatism before you end up looking foolish.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not be feeling overly optimistic today, but it’s a smart strategy to fake an air of confidence anyway. You could receive recognition now for your ability to see the potential in a situation and to rally others to your cause. But don’t exaggerate your ideas, or you’ll lose support when it becomes obvious that you cannot fulfill all your big promises. It’s more advantageous now to offer less and deliver more than anyone expects.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you have been carried away recently by your own grand ideas, your optimism could be a problem. You’re able to sell blue sky and rainbows to others, even if they actually remain out of reach. Unfortunately, your hard work won’t be enough now to make all your dreams come true. Instead of creating impossible expectations, just quietly apply yourself the best you can toward manifesting the future as you see it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be hesitant to say what’s on your mind today, because you don’t want to rain on everyone’s parade. Although you might not be the one to deliver the bad news, you aren’t fooled by all the people who are admiring the Emperor’s new suit of clothes. Rather than playing the role of the naysayer now, it may be smarter to just keep quiet. Don’t waste your energy arguing with those who cannot see what’s truly happening.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon is brightening your sensitive 4th House of Home and Family today, reminding you that your current negativity can actually influence your point of view. Others might appear very positive about what’s going on, even if you are questioning their authority. However, you don’t have to fall prey to grandiose thinking. Do the intelligent thing and trust your own analysis over someone else’s hopeful dreams.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can turn one thought into a whole philosophical treatise today. However, you’re capable of rationalizing nearly anything, which makes you a very effective negotiator. Unfortunately, it’s hard to see the negative side of a situation now until it’s too late. Don’t hold on to an idea any longer if you know that it doesn’t make sense. You can waste valuable time and significant energy if you are too rigid in your approach.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not be all that upbeat today, even if you can visualize the great opportunities ahead. But you are highly realistic now, enabling you to also see all the potential problems. Relax and don’t struggle too much to overcome your current self-doubt. Thankfully, your negativity will dissipate before your fears can even manifest.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you can be masterful enough today to find a solution to the knottiest of problems, the Moon in your secretive sign urges you to keep your intentions quiet. Instead of calling attention to yourself, jump in and just do your share of the work. If your plan is successful, you can confidently tell others about your idea with a real sense of authority, rather than waving a flag while you’re still unsure about what you’re doing.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s challenging to be practical today because of your high level of enthusiasm. You are quite sure that you can pull off nearly anything you put your mind to now. But you may have a rude awakening if you take on more than you can handle. Unfortunately, you might have to put in a superhuman effort to meet your current obligations, instead of falling short of your promises. Ultimately, it’s best to avoid making too many commitments in the first place.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone else’s tactics could clash with yours today, yet it still isn’t a good idea to turn a minor disagreement into a major argument. Even if your strategy is better, open conflict will not create the opportunity you seek; it will only add obstacles to your progress. Aggressive behavior won’t work in your favor, either. Demonstrate your competence by retreating quietly, upgrading your plan and then trying again when everyone is ready to listen.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might try to convince someone that you’re right by sharing your positive outlook and making bold assertions today. But your enthusiasm is not a substitute for the work required to reach your ambitious goals. If you haven’t aimed too high, you should be able to overcome any resistance you encounter, but don’t expect immediate results. Success could take more time and effort than you thought.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are motivated to accomplish a lot today, yet it might not be easy to sustain your efforts. Even if you begin to feel worn out, you can reach into your deep spiritual well for the inspiration you need to keep going. Sometimes, you lose hope when you run into apparently insurmountable obstacles. But now you are eager to work hard and show the world what you’re made of. Have faith and let your light shine for everyone to see.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/17

General Daily Horoscope

A free-floating tension permeates relationships today as the Full Moon in diplomatic Libra at 10:43 pm EDT reflects the self-centered Aries Sun. We are challenged to balance our personal desires with the needs of those we love. However, we may try to avoid reason with so many planets moving through impulsive Aries. Nevertheless, stern Saturn in Libra weighs down our thoughts and requires us to take others seriously if we want to be happy.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The logical Libra Full Moon acts like a mirror today, allowing you to perceive yourself more clearly. But it’s hard to describe what you see, for Mercury the Communicator is still retrograde in your sign, muddling the meaning of what you say. Thankfully, your persistence should pay off. Don’t fret if your message isn’t getting through now. Instead, take a deep breath, gather your thoughts, and then try again.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want all the details of the day to fall in place and flow smoothly, yet something seems a bit off. Even if you understand that it may be wise to keep your discomfort to yourself, you also worry that the opportunity for improvement could fade if you don’t speak up right now. Nevertheless, it’s smarter to smile and save your words for another day when others will be more receptive to your feedback.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t want to stir up any trouble today, especially if your shenanigans could lessen your opportunities for pleasure. The Full Moon in your 5th House of Play enables you to get away with mischief because your friends will enjoy being around you even more than usual now. But don’t overplay your hand or they will see through your charm and might be annoyed that you are avoiding the real issues. Rather than simply seeking a good time, balance your lighthearted spirit with a more serious approach to life.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s strategic Libra Full Moon in your 4th House of Home and Family triggers familiar issues about lingering insecurities. You might choose to distract your attention from a vulnerable spot by starting a new project around the house. You could even be so effective with this tactic that you alleviate the tension for a while. But you cannot escape completely and the sooner you face your emotions, the sooner everyone will begin to feel better.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are motivated by your need to know what’s going on with a friend today. Simultaneously, you may become so preoccupied with an impractical idea that it can turn into an obsession. However, your desire for a bit of adventure may leave you little time to get involved with someone else’s drama. Try to relate what you are now learning about yourself to the goals you are attempting to reach.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Money issues are emphasized now as today’s Libra Full Moon highlights your 2nd House of Finances. You may try to balance your current desires with your available funds and discover you’re not in any position to buy something you don’t really need. You could also realize that your old values are out of sync with what you want to do now. There’s no hurry, so step slowly into your future. If you move at your own pace, you can regain fiscal integrity sooner than you think.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Getting along nicely with others is more difficult than usual today because the pleasure-seeking Libra Full Moon activates several combative Aries planets. It might be more enjoyable if there was someone special with whom you could share your experience. However, you may not have the patience to cultivate open communication. Don’t lose hope; you could be in for a sweet surprise when you least expect it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s gentle Libra Full Moon adds an emotional charge to your 12th House of Imagination, yet can also prevent you from reaching satisfaction. You might be very certain about the intimacy you are currently seeking, but the opportunity seems to dissipate upon closer analysis. Don’t force any decisions prematurely. If you take the time to talk about what you want, the right person may be eager to follow your lead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might place such inflated expectations on your friends today that you just assume they will come through for you. Although they might actually meet your high standards, the Full Moon in your 11th House of Groups is opposite the Sun in your 5th House of Creativity, enabling you to have more fun now when you actively pursue your own self-interests. Concentrate on expressing yourself instead of worrying about others.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You know what you must do today in order to come through for those who depend on you. You can focus your mind on whatever must happen to make your dreams come true. Tread lightly; if you get overly cocky, your current little scheme could backfire and leave you with a messy situation. Your best contribution now is your honest commitment to be as present as possible when interacting with others.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may enjoy imagining how you will live in the future, but your daydreaming might be distracting to others. However, today’s balancing Libra Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure reminds you to keep a foot in the future while stabilizing the other one in the here and now. Widening your perspective enables you to maintain your unflagging vision for a better tomorrow while avoiding unrealistic idealism in the process.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current dilemma is striking a workable balance between simplicity and complexity. You may desire the creature comforts of being in a relationship, but you might not want to pay the emotional price. To avoid complications later on, consider the consequences of your unrestrained ambitions. Be smart and set aside some personal desires in the name of the higher cause of love.

New Moon Report for April 17 – Full Moon in Libra

Full Moon in Libra

Sunday, April 17, 7:44 pm PDT, 10:44 pm EDT

The accommodating Libra Moon’s opposition to the Sun in self-reliant Aries brings relationship issues into the foreground. It’s an opportunity to gain clarity about how we give too much to others, undermining our own interests, and when unwillingness to compromise weakens partnerships. Libra’s sociable ruling planet Venus is in Pisces forms an awkward quincunx with the Moon, an aspect that increases uncertainty and encourages sacrifice. However, honest discussions help us to find the right balance between personal needs and mutual interests that inspire us to work and share with others effectively.

Daily Horoscopes for April 14th

General Daily Horoscope

Our perceptual filters kick in as the Moon shifts into discerning Virgo at 2:40 am EDT. Ironically, just minutes later the Moon opposes nebulous Neptune in dreamy Pisces, heightening the differences between fact and fancy. Ultimately, we are more apt to respond with emotional clarity today because the Moon forms a harmonious midday trine to perceptive Pluto. Meanwhile, trickster Mercury’s retrograde continues to stir up delays if we’re too pushy.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It doesn’t matter that you’re eager to take a risk and make something outrageous happen today; you probably won’t get your crazy plans off the ground. Unfulfilled promises could restrain your behavior until you finish your current obligations. But don’t let frustration get the upper hand, because having an emotional meltdown now will not add anything desirable to the quality of your life. Overcome your impatience and wait for a better moment to start something new.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you claim that you can work within the current limitations being placed on you, you cannot help but fantasize about your favorite escape. You understand that rebellious behavior won’t necessarily bring the results you want, but you don’t seem to have the control you need to keep things stable. Even if you want to blast your way out of the rut you are in, common sense should win out for now.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You must attend to personal matters today, even if you are simultaneously being pulled toward more public obligations. At first, it may seem as if your job will offer you some respite from your domestic responsibilities, but you would be smart to realize that you won’t be able to escape from your family duties for too long. Don’t try to outsmart your workmates by pretending to do your job. Be honest about your situation while sustaining your work pace the best you can.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might become angry if someone at work pushes you too hard today. Your superiors may have inflated expectations, yet you know that there’s only so much that you can handle now. Unfortunately, trouble arises if you don’t establish clear limits. There’s no need to complain about anything that is beyond your control, because that just makes the situation worse. It helps to be specific and let others know exactly what you can and cannot do before things get out of hand.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could run into an unexpected out-of-pocket expense today that reminds you of the instability of your current financial situation. However, it doesn’t make sense to get discouraged now, even if you don’t see how you’re going to balance your incoming funds with your outgoing cash. Although a longer-term solution may take conscious effort, the immediate problem is temporary and should ease on its own in a couple of days.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may feel as if you’re being emotionally bounced around today, even with the Moon back in your practical Earth sign to help you focus your attention on what is most useful. But your day probably won’t unfold according to your plans. Instead, you need to change your agenda several times to accommodate the shifting tides, which are beyond your control. Let go of your personal expectations so that you can transform a challenging day into one that’s filled with pleasant surprises.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friends and associates may not realize that you’re having a tough time today because you’re not telling anyone about your concerns. Ironically, your doubts could be greatly eased by the simple act of sharing them. Your fear of being criticized might be your biggest obstacle to opening up. But remaining silent and losing yourself in endless analysis won’t lead to a logical resolution. You’re better off by just blurting out the truth now. Although you may surprise someone with your radical perspective, an honest discussion should relieve the tension.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

There is so much happening today that you may not have time to make a sensible plan. Figuring things out on the fly will probably get you through the day unless someone questions your integrity, prompting you to defend yourself. Just remember that open conflict isn’t a useful course of action; you would be smarter now to change your tactics and be less impulsive. Ultimately, you should be able to avoid an unnecessary argument by focusing on your goals and not on what anyone else says.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although you’re still interested in setting your work aside in favor of another enjoyable diversion, playtime is harder to justify today. Your professional responsibilities may be so demanding now that you just cannot get away with your planned escape. You might feel frustrated, but don’t worry; the pressure won’t last. Hunker down and do what’s expected of you so you can feel free enough to relax later on.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Your hard work might not pay off right away, but don’t let that stop you from being extra conscientious about completing your job. It’s not that others won’t appreciate your contribution; it’s just that they are so busy today that they may not stop to acknowledge you. Don’t lose your focus worrying about being noticed. If you’re patient, your just rewards will arrive soon enough.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Extra stress may come from financial institutions, investments or partnerships today, and there might not be an obvious way to avoid it. However, don’t put off any banking business that should be handled; starting sooner than later can make a big difference. Money management may not be a lot of fun, but handling complicated business affairs now can increase your sense of security and will help you feel more at ease.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Interactions with someone who can exert control over your life may not go as smoothly as you hoped. You would be a lot more willing to acknowledge another person’s authority if he or she actually deserves your respect. But it’s challenging to acquiesce to anyone who assumes power without earning it. Don’t be afraid to stand up for your convictions. You will only have to face the same issue again if you back down now for the sake of convenience.

General Daily Horoscopes for 4/12

General Daily Horoscope

We think we can handle whatever reality tosses our way today. We might even be eager for what comes next with action-hero Mars running through his own sign Aries. Additionally, the Moon slipped into heartfelt Leo last night at 11:37 pm EDT and is now warming our desires and amplifying the intensity indicated by the magical quintile between romantic Venus and passionate Pluto. Our willingness to go deep should reap big emotional rewards now.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s easy for you to get a lot done today because the Moon in your 5th House of Self-Expression harmonizes with your key planet Mars. You may be tempted to set aside work for a while in order to pursue pleasure, but it’s probably not a good idea to trade your promises for immediate gratification. Don’t try to shift the blame for your dilemma to anyone else. Just consider the consequences and do whatever makes the most sense in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not be able to avoid the weight of responsibility today, you are likely to be more concerned now with expressing your feelings than you are with doing your current job. Your romantic heart is in direct conflict with your practical head, distracting you from accomplishing the work at hand. Even if you feel driven, there’s no need to take action right away. Allow your emotional stress to reach its crescendo and then subside before swinging into action.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your workmates or friends can turn this into quite a busy day, and that’s just how you like it. You are in top form and are able to show off your charm and wit as you flit from one activity to another. But strong desires are brewing just under the surface now, so don’t bother wasting your energy on trivial matters. Keep something in reserve for when you will need it over the next few days.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Normally, you can be so sensitive to other people’s emotions that it’s often tough for you to take action. However, you’re more likely now to respond immediately to a difficult situation at work than to adopt a wait-and-see approach. But don’t overcompensate by being wildly impulsive; too much confidence leads to recklessness, which might create new problems faster than you can solve the old ones.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You appear to be an open book today because the demonstrative Leo Moon is lighting up your 1st House of Personality. Although others may not recognize it, you’re in touch with deeply rooted emotions that haven’t reached the surface yet. Your thoughts carry even more weight because they are unspoken. After you share what’s on your mind, the energy dissipates quickly. In the meantime, observe how others judge you without necessarily saying more than you must.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want everyone to know your likes and dislikes, encouraging you to keep your preferences quiet. You can quickly rationalize hiding your desires by expressing your unwillingness to hurt someone else’s feelings. However, it’s more complicated than that today, for remaining silent about what you want contributes to the problem, not the solution. Find a way to talk about what you’re feeling with enough sensitivity that you don’t offend anyone else.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to show your affection for your friends and associates, but you prefer to do it in an emotionally detached manner. This becomes more difficult once you start sharing your feelings because others are likely to be more responsive now than you ever anticipated. You will probably need to confront your own ambiguity, especially if someone reacts with great intensity. Although you’re resistant at first, you’ll feel better once everything is out in the open.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could surprise yourself today with the speed of your reaction to an event that is outside of your control. You say that you want to go with the flow, yet still have a hard time being flexible enough now with the Moon in fixed sign Leo. Surprisingly, most things should turn out okay if you are willing to step into this unknown territory, face the current issues one at a time and stay open to altering your overall course of action.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be enthralled by meeting your match as someone with lots of big ideas talks your head off today. You might wish that you could escape, but won’t likely try very hard. No matter what you do, ungrounded philosophical conversations seem to follow you wherever you go. Thankfully, you can learn something very valuable from your interactions with others. Even if you feel overwhelmed with too many details, new information can widen your horizons in a way that you truly enjoy.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Nothing is simple now; although you want to stick to the agenda today, you don’t necessarily feel like following all the meandering ins and outs of a complex conversation. Uncharacteristically, you might prefer to jump around from topic to topic, or perhaps, you just delve within your daydreams, where no one else can find you. Don’t judge others too harshly now. Remember, the tables are turned and this time you may be the one who’s seeking the fun and resisting the work.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you appear to be extremely flexible today, chances are good that your mind is made up and facts won’t likely be a catalyst for change. Unfortunately, this rigidity can get you into deep trouble now. You gain nothing by letting yourself be governed by suppressed fears. Talking about your current apprehension with a close friend or partner is the smartest way to dissipate the negative energy before it creates real problems.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want to impress everyone with how hard you work today, but you could struggle as you try to walk your talk. Unfortunately, your immediate needs may be in direct conflict with your distant goals, making it tough to know what to do next. This is a great time to quiet your mind and listen to your

Daily Horoscopes for 4/5

General Daily Horoscope

The practical Taurus Moon steadies our desires by encouraging us to want things within reach. The Moon forms a cooperative sextile with sensual Venus, emphasizing the pleasure that can be ours. Although we should be satisfied with what we have, we still may crave more as the Sun moves toward its annual conjunction with indulgent Jupiter tomorrow. Even the stability of the Taurus Moon may not be enough to counteract five planets in speedy Aries.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may feel a bit lazy now, you’re still the one who quickly swings into action before considering the consequences. Often you can get away with overstepping your bounds, but your words have more impact on your friends and associates than you expect today. Exaggerating the facts or overselling your position won’t help you convince others that your idea is a solid one. Since you cannot avoid the truth for long, you might as well keep it real from the very beginning.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your need for simplicity is a prime motivator now that the Moon has returned to your sign. You may be able to positively impact a complex situation by changing only a very few basic variables. Don’t try to pass yourself off as a master of details and nuance. Even if you wish that life wasn’t so complicated, focus on the big picture and let the rest fall into place on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are often able to safely get away with talking about nearly anything that pops into your mind. Now, however, even the simplest comment can turn into a major disagreement. Almost everything you say today seems to be misunderstood or blown out of proportion. Avoid the temptation to prove everyone wrong; concentrate on cooperating with others rather than competing with them.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are not looking for trouble today, yet it could find you when you least expect it. Although a dynamic situation at work may demand your immediate attention, you might still be highly resistant to any form of change. Fortunately, your friends appreciate your ability to quickly grasp the subtleties of a complex situation. Step up to the plate and take the lead, but remember there’s no reason to make a big deal out of what you’re doing.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be caught between your confident head and your tender heart today, although you will most likely end up sweeping your emotions under the rug if you get the chance. You might think that rational thoughts are superior to feelings now, but logic doesn’t have to override your love. Turn the battle for control into a spiritual practice by opening communication channels while seeking balance in your life.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ruling planet Mercury is mischievous while in his retrograde phase, and today he tricks you into thinking you are outrageously clever. Nevertheless, you cannot get away with talking your way around an obstacle. You must make a decision whether to move forward on your current path or if you want to consider a variety of alternatives that can change the course of your life. The time is now; make up your mind and follow your heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s challenging to find a healthy balance in your relationships now, for you may simultaneously be told yes and no every time you ask a simple question. You are willing to go over the edge in order to establish your limits, but it will still be tough to follow the rules. Being an artist is one way of testing the reaction of the world around you. The situation is not as desperate as you may think, so slow down, take your time and find your way.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may be easier for you to just show up and take control of the situation, if needed. Plot your course of action spontaneously today, rather than retreating to analyze a logical next step. Usually, you are the one who measures each and every thought, but now you’re eager to jump before knowing if the pool is even filled with water. In your haste to act, don’t try to detach yourself from your feelings, for they can still teach you quite a bit.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often so opinionated that you may inadvertently anger someone close to you. You’re ready to share your feelings with everyone today because you believe that it is just simpler to tell the truth. Ironically, you can become a bit too evasive when it comes time for a heartfelt emotional interaction. There’s nothing wrong with your desire to keep your feelings hidden as long as you continue to maintain your integrity.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might not be able to escape the responsibilities still being placed on you with your key planet Saturn in the picture. You may become frustrated in your struggle to keep up with all that’s happening. However, you can shift the energy by simply agreeing to play according to the current rules of the game. You can regain your power when you acknowledge your limitations and stop taking on more than you can handle.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to manage certain domestic affairs now without anyone outside of your home knowing about your challenges. Although you have valid reasons to keep things to yourself, you’re tempted to share personal information with an intimate friend or business partner. Broach a sensitive topic carefully, but don’t wait until it’s too late. Talk to a trustworthy companion today before the pressure makes a casual conversation impossible.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A kinder and gentler you is eagerly looking ahead, and yet your tone of voice might be forceful enough to scare someone away — even if you’re trying to bring him or her closer. It isn’t any fun to upset someone you really like, yet you can avoid unpleasant consequences by being thoughtful and considerate in all your interactions. Moderation works in your favor now, so carefully understate whatever you choose to share today.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/4

General Daily Horoscope

We may be lost and found today because we’re on the edge of yet another great planetary shift as nebulous Neptune slips into dreamy Pisces. But this is just a four-month test drive before it returns to this watery sign next year for a 14-year visit. The Sun’s anxious semisquare to Neptune heightens our imaginations even further, pulling us into Fantasyland. However, the Moon’s entry into stable Taurus at 7:45 pm EDT sets us back on the ground.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Marching in a brass band may be your idea of fun for a group or family outing today, because you really want to get everyone up and moving. Of course, you wish they would pay attention as you direct the show. But Mars is a close traveling companion with the Moon now, so you definitely need to soften your message. Music can soothe frayed nerves, yet it will probably be more effective to lower the volume so others don’t cover their ears and miss out on what you are saying.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t happy if someone bullies you, but defending yourself is likely a common event with your stubborn nature. Unfortunately, you may not be that comfortable handling this particular situation today. It’s easier to hide your anger than to confront the origin of the problem. Keep in mind that this is not a cowardly act. Your self-restraint is wise now; otherwise you could lose control and create additional damage instead of leaving well enough alone.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You need to stay hyper-vigilant or your current intensity will appear overly aggressive to others. You might even think that you are being extremely logical today, only to have someone tell you that your ideas are impossible to follow. Instead of explaining every little detail, speak softer and say less. You really don’t have to use that many words to get your point across. But you may have to wait until Mercury goes direct before you are completely understood.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might surprise others with your ability to defend your choices today. You may be willing to listen, but once you’ve heard what someone else has to offer, your reaction can be strong and swift. Although you are more aware of others now, be careful about diluting the strength of your message by attempting to cover too much unfamiliar ground all at once.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Putting your best ideas forward is not an alien concept to you, but today there is so much expressive energy floating around that you might not know when to stop. Your confidence tempts you to be so assertive that you can easily offend even your strongest allies. It will be much easier if you remember that dispersive Neptune’s magnifying lens is making everything you say sound louder than it actually is. A laid-back approach will take you further now than an arrogant one.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Interactions seem overly dramatic now that you are approaching a real turning point in your relationships. Someone’s negative thoughts boil over and then everything becomes quiet. But don’t mistake less noise for less intensity; it could be just the opposite. Don’t allow yourself to feel so much anger that you say things you don’t really mean. Withdraw your energy until you have regained your strength and composure.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are such a natural people-pleaser that sometimes you can be overly concerned with making everyone else happy. But you have six planets in your 7th House of Relationships today, indicating that you could blurt out something straight from your intuition without thinking about the impact of your words. Don’t let anyone stand in your way; setting well-defined boundaries can assure healthier relationships in the future.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Now that courageous Mars, your traditional planetary ruler, is in your 6th House of Employment, you are able to start new tasks at work. Unfortunately, follow-through will become a problem if you don’t keep up your momentum. Once you slow down, you could lose track of your direction, so ask your friends and associates to either lend a helping hand or simply get out of your way.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if your current message sounds critical, don’t expect others to share your concerns today. Although your friends know that you can wax philosophical, they still may become less patient as you enthusiastically ramble on about something that’s significant only to you. Your ideas are flowing fast and furious now; it’s hard to tell which ones are worth pursuing, so don’t become too attached to any one thought until you see how it stands up to the test of time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You feel encouraged to wield your power today, but you could easily overdo it. The idea of proving your authority can be so enticing now that you may lose sight of your original intent. Success does not stem from being in control; reaching your goals is dependent on cooperation and innovation, and not hierarchy and tradition. Remember, the whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Positive thinking is a powerful force that can motivate others, but you might take it too far today. Blind optimism won’t be of much use at all. If someone believes that you can’t discern facts from fiction, there’s a good chance that he or she will lose faith in your entire message. Muster support for your plan by being as realistic as possible. Everyone wants to hear good news, but it’s even more important for you to tell the truth.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re eager to create a new strategy for increasing your income with forceful Mars now traveling through your 2nd House of Money. You may have a lot of enterprising ideas about how to increase your cash flow, but aren’t sure that any of them will actually work. However, dreamy Neptune’s long-term presence in your sign can sap your confidence, so don’t be afraid to ask for support from others. Relying on good advice from a trustworthy companion helps you determine a sensible course of action.

New Moon Report for 4/3 – New Moon in Aries

New Moon in Aries

Sunday, April 3, 7:32 am PDT, 10:32 am EDT

The New Moon in the first sign of the zodiac fires up restless feelings and strong desires for change. Impatience and innovation spark bright ideas that can burn out as quickly as they come if we don’t slow down to anchor them in reality. A sense of urgency is amplified by a conjunction between bold Mars and independent Uranus — both in Aries — that can provoke rebellion against rules and reason. There is genius in the air but cerebral Mercury is stuck in reverse until April 23, requiring several revisions before getting plans on track. This Sun-Moon conjunction in spontaneous Aries can free us from past inhibitions, allowing us to begin creating a radically different future.

The New Moon in Aries is the true starting point of the astrological year. While there is some danger in going too far too fast, it’s better to take chances by exploring unfamiliar territory than playing it safe. Mistakes can be corrected and other opportunities arise when we’re pro-actively pushing ahead instead of being passive now.
