Your Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday, April 20th

 

Aries

Energy may be on the low side today, dear Aries, although others can help re-energize you and bring you closer to your needs and wants. It’s not the time for making sweeping decisions or for pursuing your personal goals aggressively. Take a break just for now if you can. Somebody might challenge your belief system early today, whether this is a direct confrontation or through a behavior that distresses you about the human condition in general. It’s a little too easy to become discouraged now when others fail to live up to your ideals. Nevertheless, as the day moves forward, so does your attitude. You may also learn from your differences and  better value the people in your life who come through for you.

Taurus

You may be putting a lot more effort into a practical or professional matter today, dear Taurus, and the focus is on making small yet significant long-term changes, which can be especially satisfying right now. You may be dealing with fears of surrendering control when it comes to emotions or money in recent months, and if so, challenges can emerge today, particularly over over jointly held finances and resources or emotional matters. It will be helpful to learn to understand the ways you withhold yourself so that you can eventually learn to lead a more mindfully committed life. Work matters speed up, and although the pace is quick, you are feeling on the ball and ready to rise to any challenge. Worrying about flaws in a system is only going to hold you back from being productive. Try not to let personal problems distract you and approach problems one at a time, and step by step.

Gemini

With the Moon in your solar fifth house all day, dear Gemini, you’re drawn to playful, happy energy, and you might experience a rush of new creative juices flowing. Don’t speed ahead just yet, however. Gather your thoughts and formulate your plans. There may be some humps to get over or setbacks to deal with, but these can actually make you try harder and thus help you out in the long run. Worries about a relationship or demands from others can be distracting early today. While you should certainly address concerns, avoid allowing these things take away too much energy and focus. As the day progresses, you’re more likely to feel empowered and on top of your life. Do your best to avoid procrastination – get the nagging things handled so that you feel freer to enjoy yourself.

Cancer

The Moon in your sector of home and family all day inclines you to travel along the path of least resistance today, dear Cancer, and you may very well need to take a break from pressures. This is not the time for taking emotional risks – it’s better for gathering your energy and focus. Taking time to feed your inner spirit in some manner is appropriate now. Enjoy simpler, quieter activities that comfort you. It may be difficult to get to this centered state at times today, largely due to people and areas of your life competing for your attention. Responsibilities to your work and possibly minor health matters can feel a little daunting when you’re a little more sensitive than usual on an emotional level. They are not holding you back from growing, although it might seem that way for now. The day feels considerably less restrictive as it progresses, and you might find nice opportunities to get extra rest and private time.

Leo

Diplomacy is a little more important than usual today, dear Leo. Your curiosity about people around you is high and communication can be a major theme of the day. Conversations, intriguing interactions, short trips, errands, and learning figure strongly now. Let your mind go and avoid pushing your body too hard right now. This morning, tensions can arise when someone is wanting more from you than you can reasonably provide. Love and affection cannot be forced, and those who truly care for you won’t try to get you to act according to a script they write. Irritating or uncomfortable information about a friend or lover could emerge now. Take the time to digest it rather than reacting too quickly. As the day progresses, you’re more likely to let go of tension and stress, as you focus on broader, more positive goals and dreams.

Virgo

Emotions might fluctuate when it comes to money and possessions today, dear Virgo, with the Moon in your values sector stressed out by Venus in your sector of intimacy and sharing and Pluto in your creative risk sector. You may be ambivalent about sharing yourself just for now. You must first learn to define what is yours before you feel confident about giving to and sharing with others. Comfortable activities delight most right now, and can bring you back to yourself. Unresolved matters from the past can surface early today in your close relationships. Powerful emotions can come bubbling up to the surface, and these can revolve around such intense matters as commitment, loyalty, and honesty. As you deal with these issues in others, you can come to a deeper understanding of your own motives. Pressure eases as the day advances, largely because you’re less inclined to take yourself too seriously.

Libra

Whether or not it’s your intention, you’re bound to draw some attention to yourself today, dear Libra, with the Moon in your sign all day. Take some time to imagine how you’d like to start fresh on an emotional level, as it’s a time to bring a whole new attitude on. Avoid letting challenges or opposition drag you down. Recognize your responsibilities and the roles you play to others, but today there is a need for some personal pampering. You are working on eliminating attachments to something in your life that has been holding you back from growing, and this can be a relationship, an attitude, or a behavior, and while you are more likely to be challenged early today than supported, keeping the bigger picture in mind can help you to rise above minor blockages and obstacles.

Scorpio

While on the surface of things it may not seem as if you are accomplishing much at the moment, dear Scorpio, with the Moon in your privacy sector today, but in fact you are instinctively preparing, on an internal level, for a more outgoing and dynamic cycle. If you experience delays today, try to treat them as welcome opportunities to review and reevaluate matters in your life. Some level of withdrawal is normal and quite necessary for recharging yourself emotionally. Interactions with a person in your life can be intense and even life-changing in some way, as your perspective on life is altered through your interactions. The desire to immerse yourself into a project or a person just now can be challenged by practical responsibilities that need more immediate attention, but this brief blockage may even strengthen your resolve to work things through.

Sagittarius

You are inclined to consider all your resources today, dear Sagittarius, and might concern yourself a little more than usual about how others are receiving you. Pay close attention to how you feel with a friend or in a group setting now in order to assess whether the people you’re with are encouraging or draining  you. Of course, there is always some level of responsibility involved, and this is important, but if you’re spending too much energy on making things right rather than enjoying your connections, then you may want to take a second look and make some improvements. Later today, look for ways of releasing yourself from the pressures of your life, at least temporarily, in order to focus on more humanitarian or personal goals that involve your pursuit of more happiness.

Capricorn

With the Moon at the top of your chart today, dear Capricorn, it’s the time of the lunar month for being on your best behavior. Others notice you for your performance more than your personality at this time, as they tend to focus on what you have or haven’t done. This can give you just the right boost to do your best, take care of priorities, and attend to your responsibilities. Even so, the Moon is challenged by Venus and Pluto, and this can point to some tension and difficulty keeping your cool at times today. As well, your ruler, Saturn, is in minor challenging aspect to the Sun, and you could feel some reservation about sharing yourself creatively. Use this time to become clearer about what is expected of you, and what you can expect from yourself. Emotions settle down as the day advances, although you’re still likely to have a lot to do.

Aquarius

Generally with the Moon in your solar ninth house all day as it is today, dear Aquarius, you find it easier to enjoy yourself, reach beyond your usual bounds, and focus on new adventures and experiences. While this is true of today, you may struggle a little to get to this freedom-inspired state of mind. Frustration over resources can be one minor obstacle. You might not feel like you have enough money, time, or talent to get something going. There can be challenges tending to both social and work matters, which can both demand a lot from you now. Details count most this morning, so do your best to get them right so that you can move forward more freely. Decidedly more positive energy is with you as the day advances. Your sights are set high, and with responsibilities handled, you are more inclined to enjoy yourself.

Pisces

You’re more tuned in to, or focused on, intimate matters today, dear Pisces, with the Moon in your solar eighth house all day. You can gain new insight into yourself and others, or even a business, by doing some investigating, reading between the lines, and research. Read too much or dig too deeply, however, and you will only get yourself into sticky and ambiguous territory today as the Moon is challenged by Venus and Pluto. Taking a step back to observe interactions today is instinctive and helpful, but do your best to avoid detaching yourself from the intimacy of the conversation in the process. Problems with money or sharing can be in focus, but obstacles faced now can point the way to very important refinements. You are a little more sensitive to criticism early today, yet given time to recollect yourself, you might find that it actually serves to motivate you to move along a more authentic path.
