Get A Jump On Tomorrow….
Your Horoscopes for Sunday, April 17th
by Rick Levine
General Horoscope
We grow bored with shallow conversations today and want to get to the heart of the matter. But we must be careful because our words pack a punch as messenger Mercury trines unrelenting Pluto. Additionally, Mars turns retrograde, beginning a ten-week period of slow progress that annoys us and turns frustration into anger. Meanwhile, the logical Virgo Moon enables us to create an effective plan that transforms our daily routine into long-term success.
Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19
You might not know how to best manage your powerful feelings today. Just when you thought you had everything under control, you are lured into new territory without time to prepare for your journey. But the evolving landscape wasn’t on your radar and can throw you off guard. It’s not necessary to act on every sudden whim now or you may be searching for your way back to familiar ground for a long time to come. Enjoy the view, but wait for the dust to settle before involving anyone else in your rapidly changing fantasies.
Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20
It’s likely that you could be surprised by the intensity of an emotional encounter today. Be prepared to reevaluate your current relationship goals even if you think you know where you stand. Stay open to reconsidering a recent choice and make any corrections that are necessary. But don’t alter your course on a whim; take plenty of time to delve into any problems that arise. The way ahead is directly through the center but it may take more time than you expect to find middle ground.
Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20
You often try to avoid a stressful conversation by deftly switching the topic to one that’s more palatable. But now a lingering question is driving you toward finding the answers you seek even if it makes others squirm. Thankfully, you can make use of powerful memories to get to the bottom of an unsolved riddle. But you may be so exhilarated when you finally uncover the truth that you make an impulsive decision. Prudently put all the puzzle pieces together first.
Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22
You could feel exhausted from all the emotional changes that seem to lead you around in circles today. It takes a concerted effort to ward off peer pressure now, especially if someone tries to involve you in mischief you wish to avoid. If you have any doubt at all, don’t relinquish control for the sake of being a team player. Your integrity is at stake, so be true to yourself no matter what anyone else says. Your strength of character is an inspiration to others.
Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22
You can’t help but wonder if you’re heading in the wrong direction today, only to find your confidence soaring later this evening. Be willing to take a risk, even if you’re not sure that the outcome will be what you expect. But don’t make any significant decisions based on a fleeting temptation; your feelings are still in flux and it would be wise to wait until the mood swings begin to settle down before you commit to something you later regret. Once bitten, twice shy.
Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22
Although your life may be full of distractions now, your power of concentration is unwavering as your key planet Mercury forms a harmonizing trine with potent Pluto. Your perceptions are extremely sharp, but your imagination kicks in and beckons you to daydream about the future. It’s great to explore your fantasies as long as you remember to distinguish what’s real from what’s not. Obstacles to your success disappear when you focus on the truth.
Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22
Your recent need for excitement begins to gradually abate today. Nevertheless, you might grow bored with a previous decision and feel the irrepressible desire to stir things up. But change for the sake of change won’t help, especially if people are less than cooperative. It’s wiser to have a realistic goal in sight and channel your enthusiasm toward something specific in the future, instead of running away from your past.
Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21
Although you might not know how to utilize the information you possess, at least there aren’t any questions about the validity of your logic today. Mental Mercury’s flowing trine to powerful Pluto turns your mind into a steel trap and there’s no escaping from the truth. Be as practical in your approach as you can; having all the facts in order minimizes your chances of jumping to the wrong conclusion. Nevertheless, your natural intensity is amplified and could scare others away now. Lower your voice and moderate your message for the greatest impact.
Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21
Your world suddenly appears to be moving in slow motion, making it increasingly tough to meet your commitments. Your frustration grows as assertive Mars turns retrograde in your sign today. You might try to escape your current responsibilities by exploring the back roads of your imagination. However, this is not a day for idle daydreaming. Set aside your fantasies and focus on one practical step you can take in the present moment. Temporarily forget your long-term goals while you accomplish one simple task at a time.
Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19
Following your natural rhythm is challenging now because so many interesting distractions entice you away from your chores. Nevertheless, establishing a gentle pace early in the day harnesses the powerful creativity that is currently at your disposal. Although you tend to be motivated by chasing ambitious goals, you’ll be happier today if you pursue pleasure, not productivity. Let your inner child out to play and see what happens.
Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18
It’s smarter to keep everything light and easy today in spite of your sudden desire to delve into the unknown emotional realms. But you won’t find happiness by playing the role of a detective. Trying to uncover the source of someone else’s drama will lead you on a wild goose chase. You only need to be accountable for your response to external events; you don’t have to fix them. Fortunately, you can achieve nearly anything you put your mind to now so choose your destination wisely.
Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20
You may grow discouraged if you don’t feel up to tackling an important task now. Just remember your self-esteem is not solely dependent on whether or not you deliver on your promises. Your struggle is more about your idealism and the challenges you face when reality doesn’t meet your lofty expectations. Happily, your confidence should return soon enough if you can keep your priorities straight. Don’t undertake risky behavior just to prove your value. People appreciate you just the way you are.
