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.

General Daily Horoscopes for 4/13

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

It’s difficult to escape the possible complications that stem from Mercury’s continuing retrograde phase which lasts until April 23. However, message mix-ups and schedule snafus are more likely if we’re overextended. Unfortunately, five planets, including Mercury, are in impulsive Aries, encouraging us to take on too much. Thankfully, an expressive Leo Moon harmoniously trines three of these planets, enabling us to accomplish more than we expect.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It feels as if you’re on an emotional seesaw because you have been up and down so often recently that it’s difficult to see what’s happening from a wider perspective. But your outlook is sunny and upbeat, even if there’s nothing special happening today. Make use of your positive attitude now by jumping in and tackling problems while they don’t seem so overwhelming.

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You really don’t have to show off by demonstrating how together you are today, for the very act of drawing attention to your security exposes your lack of it. While it’s possible that your self-confidence has been vacillating lately, it’s more important now to do something that makes you feel good, instead of trying to gain approval from others. Concentrate your attention on your rich inner world instead of placing undue significance on outside influences.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You should take extra precautions today because your life may be a whirlwind of activity. Although you typically like thrills and surprises, you could be caught off guard if you lack enough confidence now. Don’t be distracted by every interesting thing that goes flying by. Maintain a soft focus, instead, since this allows you to stay balanced while you’re still in motion.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s stressful today trying to balance your time between work demands and domestic matters. But this current dilemma brings up a deeper issue about your fears of not being able to do it all. Although you might slide by now if you demonstrate how serious you are about doing a good job at home and on the job, this won’t be helpful in the long run. The ultimate solution may require you to face your insecurities by talking about them with someone you trust.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your sign is emotionally intense, as your moods swing wildly like a pendulum out of control. However, you can continue to make steady progress by observing your feelings without necessarily saying anything about them at all. It isn’t always easy to let the wisdom of your body react naturally, without an audience. Keep your feelings to yourself until things settle down in a day or two.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It may seem as if others are hiding important information from you, but you don’t know what it is so there isn’t any simple way to investigate without appearing to be paranoid. However, the more you ignore your current uneasiness, the louder it grows. Watch out, for you could end up creating a problem that was never there. Be totally upfront today; admitting that you are worried can help lessen your insecurities right away.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your interest in creating a relationship with a workmate may be piqued by a surprising conversation today. This probably isn’t just a passing fancy; it’s more likely the seed of an important journey ahead. In the meantime, plan something special for yourself that’s not about work or about taking care of someone else. Think bigger than usual and act boldly. Taking a risk can prove to be more fun than you ever imagined.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Managing details at work is a wise thing to do now that the Moon is in your 10th House of Career. Working quietly behind the scenes often has its benefits, yet today you actually need to feel appreciated. Unfortunately, trying to win approval from your superiors could end up being a waste of your valuable time. Your safest path to being noticed is simply doing your job to the best of your ability.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t need to withhold your enthusiasm today because your confidence will have a positive effect on your co-workers. At first, they might think that you’re filled with hot air. But you’re not promising more than you can deliver and your peers will become true believers when they see what you can do. Remember, your ultimate talent isn’t in telling others what to do; it’s the gift of joyfully leading by example.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel very close to someone special today without being physical at all — intimacy comes in many flavors. Now, with the Moon illuminating your 8th House of Deep Sharing, consider how to enhance an interaction with a friend or family member by opening your heart. Simply expressing your fears with someone you trust will create a doorway to a more meaningful relationship.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The self-expressive Leo Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners today, cajoling you to reveal yourself through acts of generosity. But you still need to set clear boundaries by defining your limits or your magnanimous behavior could pull you overboard. Remember, you grow less believable when you overstate your case, so be quiet once you’ve made your point.

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s helpful to be able to count on something real today. Thankfully, the Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Habits encourages you to lean on your familiar routine as a strong foundation. Regardless of how spaced-out or confused you might be feeling, it’s crucial to go through the motions of whatever you do on a daily basis. However, this is not about playing your part mechanically or detaching yourself from your emotions; it’s about reestablishing the meaning in your everyday life, instead.

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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 April 10

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The emotionally receptive Moon in watery Cancer conflicts with energetically assertive Mars in fiery Aries today, making it tough to be kind to others if our actions don’t also further our individual goals. We want to feel connected to the supportive matrix of our family, yet we may react too quickly out of fear when the Moon opposes powerful Pluto and squares authoritative Saturn. However, we can all benefit from learning a bit about patience.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Don’t mistakenly think that you cannot be strong and capable if you are also vulnerable enough to feel someone else’s pain. You may incorrectly believe that you have to find a solution right away, while actually avoiding the problem, itself. An alternate approach, however, is to open your heart and experience the dilemma without trying to fix it. Today, the smartest thing you can do is to listen closely and acknowledge another person’s feelings.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A close friend might bug you so much today that it feels as if he or she is picking a fight with you. But don’t let a minor issue grow so important that it initiates an unnecessary argument and morphs into the turning point of your day. If you can successfully sidestep a confrontation now, you should be able to reap the fruits of your restraint when they ripen.

 

 

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tricky for you to balance a very basic need for mental stimulation with today’s intense desire to just chill out. It’s not that your interest to be with others disappears now; it’s simply that you don’t want as many distractions as usual. If you are feeling overextended in any way, take time to recharge your batteries so you are up to the challenges of tomorrow.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s as if an old friend has come for a visit now that the Moon has returned to your sign. She reminds you of the raw power of your emotions, yet also how isolated you can feel when you don’t express them. It may be difficult to communicate your experiences today, for your responsibilities may prevent you from sinking into a more emotional zone. Remember, you can remain silent while still actively staying in touch with your inner world.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel hurt by someone you like today, making it hard to be honest. It’s difficult to respond to what’s happening, for you really don’t want to show your weakness. Nevertheless, your vulnerability can indicate your true strength as it takes extra courage now to act on your gut instincts, even if they seem to be out of step with the circumstances of your life.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Being responsive today to someone you work with can prove to be an enriching experience, but you’ll need to get over your insecurity about the possibility of being rejected. Sharing your feelings with your friends and associates can set you up for disappointment if others don’t react as expected. Nevertheless, you’ll never know what might have happened if you don’t take the risk. Be willing to go to the edge without going over it.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might attempt to hide from the public eye today, yet you are needed by others in a way that could focus the attention directly on you. Oddly enough, it’s not that you want to remain unseen; it’s just that you feel awkward in the spotlight. Balance is one of your recurring issues; seek a comfortable place between being a star and remaining a complete unknown.

 

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are able to see your distant goals quite clearly, but still may be at a temporary loss as to how you can safely reach your destination. Unfortunately, it seems as if there are no direct routes that lead to where you want to go now. Fortunately, you can draw on a very deep well of persistence. Your non-judgmental acceptance of those you love, combined with your willingness to wait for the right moment, will likely clear the way for your success.

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although it’s always essential that you show up at work and do your job well, you are not completely satisfied with this option now. You want your creativity to overflow with passion. You hope to amaze others with what you can do. However, turning down the volume on your self-expression makes more sense today. It’s better to sustain your productivity throughout the day than to create a flash of excitement by pulling a rabbit out of a hat and then declaring that you’re done.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be confronted with unclear messages now, with others saying one thing and doing another. Thankfully, you’re encouraged by the loving support you are receiving, yet it feels as if something still isn’t quite right. The unspoken judgment is that you’re not doing enough, even if you have no idea of what else you could do. Don’t let self-doubt creep into your life; motivate yourself by focusing on the positive feedback you are given today, instead.

 

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are highly sensitive to what your closest friends want today, enabling you to take on tasks before they are even assigned to you. Unfortunately, you could also harbor resentment toward anyone who isn’t willing to give you straightforward direction. You might not mind the extra work, but feel frustrated about the lack of acknowledgment and appreciation. But, instead of keeping your feelings quiet, talk to someone who is involved before your unhappiness gets the best of you.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel more alive today, rejuvenated by the tidal Cancer Moon as she refreshes your pools of emotion. If you are trying to recover from a recent schedule overload, establish new boundaries while you still can. You won’t have to give up any power, nor must you defend your right to remain silent. Quietly basking in the delicious healing waters of your own compassion is sufficient for now.

Action is the keyword at this time. Those who act quickly and decisively should be favored. Self-sufficiency and the ability to act alone are valuable assets. Many will do well by focusing on short term goals.

Mars Opposition or Square Saturn

Jupiter In Aries

Jupiter Opposition or Square Saturn
This aspect tends to muddle the distinction between what is real and what one wishes to be real. Setbacks can be experienced due to this nebulous vision of reality.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Uranus Square Pluto

Daily Horoscopes for 4/8

 

General Daily Horoscope

 

The cosmic weather is relatively calm today with no significant planetary aspects, giving us a chance to integrate recent experiences and to contemplate what’s ahead. Still, the restless Gemini Moon remains quite active all day as she harmonizes with Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun and Mercury. Thankfully, our desire for mental stimulation and our drive to keep pushing ahead needn’t destabilize our lives. Communication is the key to maintaining balance.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may be tiring of the current hectic pace, this may not be the best day to get some rest. Slowing down sounds like a good idea now, but reality could still have a surprise or two in store for you today. Instead of attempting to avoid unexpected interactions or to minimize unscheduled events, embrace the interruptions because they can ultimately turn a boring day into an exciting one.

 

 

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be expected to give a lot of yourself today without receiving much in return. Even if you derive personal satisfaction from your service to others, the day still could take its toll. You may feel that you aren’t making much progress now, as if the tides are carrying you backward, but this is just a temporary effect of Mercury retrograde. Fortunately, you know something about patience. Don’t give up; your persistence will be rewarded soon enough.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel a bit frazzled now that the Moon is in your sign, simply because you know something that others don’t and you cannot say a word about it yet. Maybe you made a promise to keep quiet or perhaps you just know that the current timing isn’t quite right. For now, stick to your decision about what you will share and what you won’t. Don’t worry; everything is in the process of change, anyhow.

 

 

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have more data at your fingertips than others realize, but you don’t have to tell everyone everything that you know. Luckily, your current knowledge may be sufficient to answer a question, yet you still might be tempted to push your luck and try to uncover more. Instead of struggling on your own, be brave and ask for help if you need it.

 

 

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There really isn’t any need to worry about what you must do today, for you are best off just being spontaneous. Although you can quickly become distracted by your friends, forget about entertaining everyone else for now. For once, just follow the course of least resistance, and let the magic of the day take you wherever it does.

 

 

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Many of your friends and associates are looking to you for guidance during these intense times, even if you aren’t interested in accepting a leadership role today. It’s not that you are incapable of being a good manager; it’s just that you might grow bored of trying to fulfill your obligations before the day is over. For a change of pace, cut yourself some slack and do something special just for you. Honestly, you can always pick up the pieces tomorrow.

 

 

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may wonder if something is wrong with you today because the weekend is not even here yet and you’re already planning for the next one. This might sound like a smart idea, but it makes it rather challenging to fully enjoy what is happening right under your nose. Reduce the pressure by acknowledging that there are many different ways to have fun. Relax and take time to smell the flowers.

 

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A thoroughly enjoyable encounter could morph into a romance or a long-lasting friendship as the flirty Gemini Moon aspects sweet Venus and talkative Mercury. But you must be willing to stand up and play your part in order to see where the relationship goes. If you don’t make a concerted effort to connect with others in a deeper way when you’re given the opportunity, then you’ll never know where it might have taken you.

 

 

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This may be a near perfect day if you’re a fan of sports competition. It doesn’t matter whether you are watching sports on television or actually participating in the games, yourself. However, if your interests are drawn somewhere else now, try to enjoy yourself thoroughly, whatever you choose to do. Keep in mind that you’ll have more fun now if you are with new friends doing something you’ve never done before.

 

 

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It could be very grounding today to acknowledge a family tradition or a meaningful ritual from the past. You might impulsively decide to visit your parents or take a quick trip to see your kids. No matter what you plan, do things a little differently. You will feel more energetic if you don’t do the same old routine again; instead, break up the drudgery with something that’s a lot more fun.

 

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be worried that the weekend will come and go before you can finish what’s already on your plate. Ignoring your ambitious plans by slipping into denial won’t help you avoid what’s ahead. However, it’s probably more important to think about the present moment, instead of continually focusing your attention on the future. Scaling back your expectations now could give you extra time to relax and unwind.

 

 

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s Gemini Moon complicates your life, yet it could also make your day more interesting. Even if you are sure about what you want, you might not know exactly how to get it. It’s even harder now because your head says one thing while your heart tugs in another direction. Ultimately, you’ll be happier if you let your conscience be your guide and do what feels right.
