Your Daily Horoscopes for Thursday, April 28th

 

Aries

With Mercury retrograde from today until May 22nd, dear Aries, there can be a change of mind or interest, possibly even a bit of regret when it comes to those things said or begun right now and recently. This retrograde occurs in your sector of assets and there may be the need to review your finances or budget, or you could be dealing with lost or misplaced possessions. Take the time to re-think your sources of income and how you spend your cash during this period, but put off finalizing anything important for the time being. In fact, some money-making ideas or ventures may be put on hold due to circumstances beyond your control. Come at old problems from a new direction or perspective. Open your mind to new ways of thinking and new approaches.

Taurus

Mercury turns retrograde in your sign today, dear Taurus, and will remain retrograde until May 22nd. This period is best used for re-organizing and reflecting. You are looking at the world a little differently, through different filters, and can come up with some very important inner revelations. It may be difficult to communicate them under this influence, but not everything needs to be rationalized. This is a time of heightened inner awareness, when meditation, reworking old plans, and reviewing past work are favored. For some of you, someone who has been gone or distant can reappear, and yet remain emotionally distant. Some personal plans may stall or appear to move backwards, but can benefit from some refinements. Take extra time coming to decisions and making commitments for now. Today, be especially conscious of being fair and using common sense, as there can be a tendency to overdo. Enjoy yourself, but keep things real and avoid going over the top.

Gemini

Mercury turns retrograde in your privacy sector today, dear Gemini, and this retrograde cycle lasts until May 22nd. This cycle turns your thought processes inward (even further than they have been recently). Some of the decisions made and projects started in the last couple of weeks can come up for review now. Your thinking is more spiritual and less factual. Your dreaming world is vivid during this cycle. Extra care should be exercised when it comes to privacy matters, however. You may find that you are less able to rely on your intuition, and both inner and outer “signals” are difficult to read, until you recognize that you are looking at things in entirely new ways. Keep an eye out for deceptiveness and falseness in others. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating about your inner world now; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely. Minor breaks in the mechanical aspects of communication can actually re-connect you to other perfectly valid means of communication.

Cancer

Mercury is retrograde starting today and until May 22nd, dear Cancer, making it a good time to look to the past for answers, as well as to do refinement and editing work. For you, Mercury is retrograde in your friends and dreams sector, and this places emphasis on your communications with associates, groups, and friends. It also is a time for the hatching of ideas for the future, but watch for missing information or fuzzy thinking. You are required to be more alert than usual when it comes to dealings with friends and groups, as well as business income and dealings with business associates. Some of you could meet an old friend during this cycle. Some of the seeds you recently planted in terms of long-term goals are likely to need review or revision. Today, with the transition and minor challenging aspects, there could be false leads or poorly researched advice circulating around you. Keep things light and aim to enjoy yourself rather than focusing on the little things that may be going wrong.

Leo

Mercury turns retrograde today, dear Leo, and it would be a good idea to aim to be as flexible as you can with your schedule, as mix-ups are possible as the station occurs. Mercury retrogrades in your solar tenth house and lasts until May 22nd. While it’s a strong time for refining long-term goals and career projects, there can be some confusion surrounding business plans or communications. It’s a good time for review, but not the best period for clear-cut answers. Reconsider things, but wait it out before drawing conclusions, if possible. Extra care should be exercised when communicating with the public, superiors, associates, friends, and co-workers. Strive to be as clear as possible so that you are not misunderstood. Keep in mind that information received or perceived today may be emotionally biased or incomplete.

Virgo

Your ruler, Mercury, turns retrograde today, dear Virgo, as it does for approximately three weeks, approximately three times a year. This is a strong period for review, refinement, and editing work. It can be a time to catch your breath and to learn more about what you want and need. With Mercury as your ruler, your mind often moves much more quickly than the rest of you, and this is a time for catching up. This time, the retrograde occurs in your solar ninth house, and there can be some need to review legal, educational, and/or travel matters. Publishing efforts may require some review and editing before moving forward. Take care when it comes to presenting ideas, writing letters and emails, and any detail work. You may not be seeing the whole picture, but you could be looking at things with a new perspective.

Libra

You’re in a withdrawn but not necessarily solitary state of mind today, dear Libra. This is generally speaking a day for gathering yourself emotionally and mentally. With Mercury retrograde from today until May 22nd, this is a good period for doing research, refining plans, and personal introspection. Now and over the coming weeks, there can be some confusion surrounding financial commitments and shared resources. Review your finances, and realize that facts may be fuzzy for the time being. Rather than taking out new loans, focus on going over the debt and shared resources you already have. This energy can also play out on an intimate level, and you may find yourself frequently turning to the past in order to better understand the present. Keep in mind that judgment may be colored by wishful thinking at the moment, so try to focus on confidence-boosting activities.

Scorpio

Mercury is retrograde from today until May 22nd, dear Scorpio, and some of the things you’ve started or communicated recently might need some touching up. You are likely to be seeing a relationship from a different perspective in the coming weeks. It’s not the time to look for a clear commitment. Give others space and hope that they return the favor. Communications can be muddled for the time being, but delays can also help you to better understand your situation as you see details you may have missed. Past partners can figure strongly during this cycle, whether this is in your mind or in the flesh. Watch for self-deception, particularly when it comes to love and friendship. Today, there can be a tendency to take things too personally or to entertain nervous energy. Keep things light and keep your sense of humor.

Sagittarius

Mercury is retrograde from today until May 22nd, dear Sagittarius, and this can serve to sway your thinking and change your mind about past decisions. Think in terms of review rather than pushing something entirely new. Slow down and tend to those things you’ve passed over in haste. Mercury’s retrograde occurs in your work and health sector, and there can be some rethinking, delays, or editing related to health, work, and daily routines. It can be difficult to see all of the facts before you, so that schedules can easily become mixed up, or projects you began in the last few weeks need revision. Work-related mess-ups can frustrate you, or you might need to redo work that you thought was complete. However, you might find that the refinements you make now will be very valuable later. Today, watch for red herrings and impractical thinking.

Capricorn

Mercury is retrograde from today until May 22nd, dear Capricorn, and this is a time for slowing down, taking stock, and reviewing in-progress projects. This is a period for filling in the details and checking that the decisions you’ve recently made are still viable. Particularly during the transition, communication breakdowns are possible. Mercury’s retrograde occurs in your sector of romance, creativity, and children. The creative process might feel as if it’s moving backwards, when in fact it’s more of a realignment process. You are thinking and expressing yourself in different ways. There may be the need to revisit old issues with your children or lover, or there could be some communication problems with the same. People from the past tend to come back or become a mental/emotional focus.

Aquarius

Mercury is retrograde from today until May 22nd, dear Aquarius, and this cycle can help you see your life from an entirely different perspective, particularly your emotional life and matters related to family and home. Past errors can crop up today, or you might feel vaguely guilty about a responsibility you haven’t fulfilled. Instead of stressing yourself out, take advantage of the time you have now to reevaluate what you are doing. You could find an error or an inconsistency that needs correcting. Communication with family may not always be as straightforward as you’d like, or there can be some level of chaos or mechanical problems around the home that require your attention. New initiatives may not be wise at the moment, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now. Today is better for taking stock rather than pushing something forward.

Pisces

Mercury retrogrades in your sector of communication from today until May 22nd, dear Pisces. Now and in the coming three weeks, matters surrounding school, transportation, and basic communications can involve some delays, reworking, or editing. Be flexible and vigilant with marking important appointments and errands on your calendar. There may be the need to revisit old, unresolved issues with siblings or neighbors, subjects may need further revision and study, and there could be mechanical issues with communication and transportation devices that prompt some rethinking of how you connect and get around. Through these experiences, you might discover new ways to express yourself – ways that wouldn’t have come to mind otherwise. Get all the facts before you jump into something today.
