Daily Horoscopes for Saturday, April 30

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

This is an intense weekend with five planets and the Moon in excitable Aries. But attractive Venus opposes repressive Saturn today, limiting our pleasure intake. We want instant satisfaction, yet Saturn delays gratification. Nevertheless, the Moon’s contact with the Venus-Saturn opposition tempts us to over-personalize our experiences. Thankfully, the restraint will be short-lived as we approach a confident Mars-Jupiter conjunction later tonight.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may be getting tired of the same old story. You’re hot to trot today, but you must wait for one reason or another. But instead of getting yourself all worked up because you cannot have what you want now, try taking a more mature approach and acknowledge that you may have something important to learn. Others love your fiery approach to life, but they will respect you more if you can also be patient when it’s appropriate.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might not allow yourself to have a good time now, especially if you believe that others will judge you harshly if you don’t deliver on your promises. Unfortunately, stern Saturn’s tense opposition to your key planet Venus turns you into your own taskmaster. There’s nothing wrong with catching up on chores; just don’t harbor resentment toward those who choose play over work today. Don’t worry; your chance for fun will be waiting for you later on.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are ready to lose yourself in a crowd today, whether at a party, a sporting event or the mall. It’s your way of temporarily forgetting about all your responsibilities, but this strategy won’t work no matter how invisible you feel or how fast you run. Fortunately, you can still enjoy yourself in a social setting as long as you don’t have escape on your mind. Make the most of your time with others and then return to the chores you set aside earlier.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are uncharacteristically motivated to take bold action because you want to demonstrate a more dynamic side of your personality today. But you could try too hard and end up feeling rather foolish if you think you have to do something out of the ordinary just to be accepted by your friends and family. Instead of playing all your cards out in the open, do what comes naturally. It might be wiser now to assume the role of the strong and silent supporter rather than taking center stage.

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You want to have a little excitement in your life today and you’re ready to lead the charge on an adventure with your friends. Unfortunately, they may not be as enthusiastic as you are now. Instead of trying to get others to support your idea of fun, leave them to their more sedate ways and go off by yourself. When you’re done with your excursion, you can return refreshed and rejoin those you left behind.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You’re not interested in your typical analytical approach to relationships now; you are intrigued by juicier rewards that lure you out of your comfort zone. You feel more emotionally assertive than usual and might even frighten someone close to you because of your heightened sense of urgency. Paying attention to how others react and having the courtesy to give them the space they need today can bring the results you seek.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

As a Libra, you’re often more interested in maintaining harmony in a relationship than in always getting your way. The moody Moon joins your key planet Venus in your 7th House of Partnerships today, reemphasizing what others want. Although you are normally comfortable with taking care of someone else’s needs, you’ve had enough of being taking for granted. Stand up for yourself now by putting your foot down to set limits. However, don’t be surprised if it takes longer than you prefer to be taken seriously.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are able to tell someone what you want today in no uncertain terms. You’re also able to do it in a manner of clarity that doesn’t blame anyone else for your dissatisfaction. In fact you seem somewhat detached from your needs even as you express them. However, you could be holding onto unexpressed anger, possibly on an unconscious level. Don’t bury your feelings; if something is bothering you, get it off your chest or it could return later in the form of a projection.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may not be willing to modify your plans today in order to be included by your family or friends. You would rather separate yourself from others and keep your sense of integrity, even if it means doing something on your own. Thankfully, you won’t likely feel left out because you could be too busy riding your own wave of creative expression. Nevertheless, you’ll probably feel happy to be back in the fold tomorrow.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are quite aware of how you must suppress certain desires today in order to accomplish very specific goals. You want to have as much fun as the next person, but you’re also able to put personal pleasure into a wider perspective. Still, you can’t help but contemplate the emotional cost of success now. Everything has its price; just don’t sell yourself short.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have set goals that you now realize you cannot quite reach. Or, perhaps, an obstacle prevents you from doing as much as you wanted to do on a project. But instead of feeling defeat or discouragement, you might have a sense of relief as you reconstruct your day now that you have more time to enjoy yourself. Fortunately, today’s dark storm cloud has a silver lining.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be tempted to make an impulse purchase today, but this could be a setup for buyer’s remorse. Perhaps the item in question costs more than you originally thought. Or, maybe, you worry that it’s not a good investment because it’s something you don’t really need. Take your time and logically analyze the pros and cons of spending your money. If after rational consideration the expenditure still makes sense, then go ahead because it’s probably a smart acquisition.

Daily Horoscopes for Friday, April 29

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The psychic Pisces Moon reminds us that fantasy can seem real — and sometimes it actually is. It’s especially difficult to separate fact from fiction today as expansive Jupiter forms a complicated septile to dreamy Neptune. However, we are shocked awake by the Moon’s shift into spontaneous Aries at 1:33 pm EDT, followed by a Moon-Uranus conjunction at 6:58 pm. We may be temporarily thrown off balance as we respond to the suddenness of change.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Today is one of those days when you might not even realize that you’ve slipped into the Twilight Zone. If you pay close attention to everything happening now, you might notice that things are bent slightly out of shape. Slipping into this parallel world isn’t the problem, but mixing it up with the real one can prove troublesome. Rely on your friends to help you distinguish your illusions from reality.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are quick-witted enough to outsmart yourself today. There is so much activity going on within your unconscious mind that you might forget what just occurred only a few minutes ago. Naturally, this can create a very embarrassing situation unless you consciously decide to stay on top of it all. Don’t be afraid to trust your snap judgment. Thankfully, your intuition won’t lead you astray now.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may share a feeling today that provokes a strong and clear response. But rather than receiving a round of all-too-familiar criticism, you might actually get an unexpected boost of support from someone who isn’t usually your closest ally. Be careful, for you might be reading the situation incorrectly. And even if you’re positive about the accuracy of your perceptions, keep in mind that everyone’s feelings are prone to change now.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be daydreaming of taking a quick trip to a faraway destination, however, there’s this little problem of transportation. You might prefer the idea of near instantaneous travel because you want to get to your exotic destination immediately and still be home in time for a comfortable dinner. Unfortunately, you are just setting yourself up for disappointment unless you can be satisfied by traveling in the fantasy realms instead of actually going anywhere for real.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You have a practical agenda today, yet you might choose to set it aside if there is an opportunity to do something more exciting than taking care of business. Don’t be too concerned about other people’s expectations; you need to follow your own heart. Rather than wasting energy trying to justify your actions, attend to your responsibilities first, so whatever you do next is beyond criticism.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You may be rethinking upcoming travel plans that you thought were already set. Or, perhaps, you’re juggling your responsibilities so you can fit everything into your schedule. But it’s tricky now because you cannot do this work alone. You’ll improve your chances for success if your co-worker or partner supports you, so include him or her in your scheming. Remember that nothing is etched in stone yet. Today’s decisions could change as soon as tomorrow.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You have many small tasks to finish and it’s wise to complete as much as possible prior to the Moon leaving your 6th House of Routine. It becomes more complicated to return to chores left undone once your attention moves on to something else. Also, it’s quite likely that someone will distract you later in the day and your schedule will be unexpectedly hijacked; don’t put off anything important unless it’s beyond your control.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may welcome an exciting diversion to your daily routine today, but your responsibilities could suffer in the process. Surprisingly, you’ll probably say yes to an invitation that comes your way, even if you don’t think that you can take the time to play. Naturally, meeting your obligations remains a high priority, but your overall quality of work won’t be as good if you don’t also give yourself the chance to relax.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might experience unexpected tension because of the responsibilities that now fall on your shoulders. However, you are still ready to go out and have some fun, no matter what the consequences are. Your productivity will likely slack off today, but you should be able to make up for it tomorrow. At least, show some creativity by mixing up boring chores with new activities that are more exciting.

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You probably won’t be able to stick to your plans today, and accepting this fact upfront could alleviate a lot of unnecessary stress. Your moods are swinging all over the map, making you less likely to follow through on your original agenda. Rather than suppressing your feelings, remain open to them. Maintaining objectivity now could be exhausting and unproductive. You will feel much better once you give yourself permission to temporarily relinquish control.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may receive an unexpected message today from someone who is very close to you. Paradoxically, what you are told could be contrary to what you thought you were going to hear. This new information could complicate your day, but you’ll only make matters worse if you try to block it out. You can’t avoid the negative consequences by pretending there isn’t a problem. Be smart and face any issue that surfaces now before it spins out of control.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel unsettled today because you know something is about to change. Your feelings are quite volatile now and you don’t know where they are leading you. Unfortunately, your attempts to suppress your needs could provoke you to unconsciously act out. Trying to control the situation by limiting your interactions with others will only make you feel lonely. Remember that you are a Fish and should know that it’s easier to swim with the currents instead of resisting the tide.

Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, April 26

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The progressive Aquarius Moon picks up on supportive aspects to planets in excitable Aries, shifting us from contemplation into action. In particular, cooperative sextiles with impetuous Mars and opinionated Jupiter indicate that our perceptions are keen and we may form conclusions quickly. But the Moon also forms harsher aspects to sensual Venus and passionate Pluto, pushing deep feelings up to the surface and setting up power struggles in love.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It feels as if you’re on the edge of an emotional cliff and you may be considering whether or not to jump. You intuitively know that you will be safe as you float toward the ground, and the anticipation is exciting. Yet the mysterious tug into the abyss can also be scary. You might not be as comfortable in the feeling realm, especially if you’re not in control. Nevertheless, your experience can be meaningful and memorable if you’re willing to take a risk.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The analytical Aquarius Moon stimulates intense Pluto and your key planet Venus today, plunging you into an emotional drama. Thankfully, this can open up your heart in a very profound way. However, problems in love arise if you believe you’ll be able to always stick to your agenda. It helps to acknowledge that you don’t have all the answers because being flexible isn’t easy for you. Forget about being right; it’s better now to ride the waves of your feelings, instead.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are tempted to dance your way around a very delicate topic of discussion today. However, you can inadvertently bring up unnecessary pain for someone you love if you cannot face the underlying emotional conflict in a mature manner. Forget about the clever comebacks and witty responses. Making light of your feelings detracts from your real work now. Overcome your fear and accept the responsibility to explore real solutions rather than superficial ones.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You don’t want to create an emotional conflict today, but you realize that stepping into unfamiliar territory now can lead to a worthwhile reward. You might need a bit of help from a friend or lover to assist you through your resistance, but your fears should dissipate once the conversation gets underway. Remember, there isn’t a right way to respond as long as you’re true to your heart.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Allow your hopes and dreams to inspire you to swim against the tide today because this can bring you closer to your passions. This isn’t an easy day; you may have to stir up some difficult issues so you truly feel alive. Just remember that you can express yourself without making anyone else wrong. You can effectively bring a conversation back to your perspective while acknowledging that others don’t need to agree with your point of view.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It’s helpful to remain as neutral as possible today if someone else tries to engage you in a struggle for control. However, this will be increasingly difficult to do throughout the day, especially if you feel threatened. Even if you do not want to escalate a conflict, your detachment can only last so long. You shouldn’t have to suppress your feelings if you are clear about your message. Taking a few deep breaths will help prevent you from saying something that you regret later on.

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your friend or workmate may put you in an uncomfortable position today, asking you to reveal something you intended to keep private. The stakes can be too high to play games now; your best strategy is to express your feelings rather than pretending that everything is okay. Ultimately, a difficult conversation can clear the air of unspoken tensions and pave a path toward a more meaningful relationship.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your ruling planet Pluto is tensely aspected by the Moon today and sensual Venus later tonight, driving you to test the boundaries of love and to seek the intensity that may be absent from your life. But your fierce passion could have the exact opposite effect on someone else. If others believe that you are being too forceful, they might withdraw, enticing you to apply additional pressure. Although you don’t have to hide your feelings, it would be smart to soften your approach.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are attracted to the unknowable mysteries that are stirred by love today. But your fears tempt you to retreat when you get close to emotions you cannot control. This is a bit of a paradox because you won’t be able to experience the magic if you’re not willing to delve into the shadows. Don’t pretend that you are in charge when you’re not. Expressing your vulnerability can open a doorway to intimacy now that was previously hidden from view.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Passionate Pluto’s long-term visit to your sign is stimulated today by the Moon and Venus, the planet of love. It’s not a simple task to explore your sensual desires because they may take you further than you want to go. However, the rules won’t make you feel safe now, for it’s apparent that there are no absolute limits. Thankfully, your uncharacteristic willingness to delve into the uncertainty of your feelings can bring you closer to happiness.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Memories that you believed were safely hidden away may now explode into your consciousness, shattering your illusion of emotional detachment. Needless to say, this is disconcerting, for you are more comfortable when your rational thoughts are in charge. It’s no use trying to put everything back as it was. Instead, be responsive to whatever happens today by openly expressing what’s in your heart. You can always reclaim your cool intellectual demeanor tomorrow.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want an emotional connection now that has real meaning, but the intensity of the moment may be even more than you can imagine. Although you’re eager to explore unfamiliar territory in search of love, you prefer that things were simpler. Nevertheless, taking a risk with someone you trust and sharing your feelings requires courage. However, the cost is worth it, for you just might discover a precious gem that can help heal your heart.
