Your Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, April 12th

 

Aries

Aries Horoscope
Aries

Your personal magnetism runs high today, dear Aries. This is a strong time for both work and social life. Innovative ideas and methods can be employed now. You can feel spirited and ready for action, and super energy is with you today for connecting on a romantic level, as well as a boost with friends, for learning, publishing, and communicating. Cooperation is key, but a bit of friendly competition can help inspire improvements. Business connected with art, music, and other creative ventures can prosper, or there can be good timing with money and business now. Mutually beneficial agreements might be reached now. Watch that you don’t take on too much now with Mars turning retrograde in less than a week, however.

Taurus

Taurus

Relationships can be pleasantly spicy and your personal magnetism is good today, dear Taurus, with your ruler, Venus, in harmony with Mars. This influence brings two energies that complement each other well in harmony, endowing you with the ability to assert your needs with charm. You can feel inspired by your conversations and the connections you make right now, and your intimate life can get a boost with extra attention and natural acceptance. You could be feeling quite passionate about a person or an idea. Popularity increases. Finances and business are also favored now with support coming at just the right moment.

Gemini

Gemini

You are more able to see the beauty of the moment today, dear Gemini, and you can thoroughly enjoy yourself as a result. Even so, you are gently challenged to improve, take positive action, and go after what you want now, so it’s unlikely to be a passive day. It’s a good time to repair or improve a friendship. A healthy link between Mars and Venus today brings a certain ease in social situations and possibly romantic excitement, particularly as it’s occurring in your sectors of partnership and friendship. This is a good time for shared activities. You’re making a good impression on others now.

Cancer

Cancer

This can be an especially creative time for your work and practical goals, dear Cancer, as well as personal and professional appeal. Today’s mood is warm, generous, and hospitable, but also gently competitive. The Moon moves into your sign early morning, and this can serve to push you into visibility after a couple of days of being in the relative backwoods. You can make good strides in work-related matters, although your mood is also quite sociable. You shine today in your ability to smooth ruffled feathers. You should find your stamina level strong and you might find it easier to get the job done without having to waste extra energy.

Leo

Leo

This can be a stimulating day, dear Leo. Even though the Moon moves into your privacy sector, awakening a need for some down time and repose, a Venus-Mars aspect occurring in the other two Fire signs triggers creative urges and a need to share them. Others tend to be cooperative and helpful. You can be feeling spirited and positive, especially about a relationship or creative endeavor. You are more magnetic, but also making happy things happen, and there is a nice, warming flow of friendliness between you and others. Towards the end of the day, however, you could be dealing with some impatience or competitiveness.

Virgo

Virgo Symbol/Glyph
Virgo

This can be a great day for feeling supported, nurtured, and peaceful, dear Virgo, yet also stimulated and ready to take action. You can be extremely eager when it comes to making changes in your life, particularly on a deep, internal level. Your intuition seems to be spot on today, and your focus is on personal matters, healing energies, and positive reinforcement. Finding creative channels or ways to give voice to some of your inner longings can be rewarding. You can really get things done around the home. While your compassion is heightened, you’re also given to pulling out the boundaries. Romantic inclinations are powerful and you’re likely to seek more intimacy and passion in your relations. Financial intelligence is heightened.

Libra

Libra Glyph-Symbol
Libra

There can be a nice flow of energy and warmth between you and others today, dear Libra, and possible excitement and enthusiasm for an idea or project. There can be an opportunity to speak about something dear to your heart, and you are likely to do so with special charm and persuasion.It’s a time to really stay on top of things socially, as opportunities abound and you don’t want to miss out on them. Love relationships, partnerships, and close friendships are favored today. You may be improving an existing relationship or attracting a new one. There is a desire to move ahead, get things done, and not simply wait for things to come to you.

Scorpio

Scorpio Symbol Glyph
Scorpio

This is a good time for coming to agreement with others, making purchases or business moves, personal appeal, and for relationship strengthening, dear Scorpio. Opportunities now can come from behind the scenes or hidden sources and through your strong connections to others. You might discover a resource you never knew you had, or simply pick up a good buy. Your confidence and motivation add to your appeal, and to your chances of succeeding at what you set out to do. You can be especially productive today and might come up with truly brilliant ideas for business, work, or health routines.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius Glyph Symbol
Sagittarius

This is a strong day for creative, romantic, and entertaining pursuits, dear Sagittarius. Others are drawn to you, particularly for your independence, spunk, and frankness. Relationships might strengthen in subtle ways now, and you’re giving off especially warm or exciting vibes. You could receive gifts and attention now – the kind that helps boost your confidence. Your personal magnetism is especially strong today. You can feel on fire with passion and creative energy, and timing is better than usual. There could be exciting new prospects, ideas, and projects now, but do pace yourself as Mars, in your sign, will be turning retrograde within a week, and you may not have as much energy or enthusiasm then.

Capricorn

Capricorn Symbol/Glyph
Capricorn

You may feel driven to take action on a personal matter or to put something behind you today, dear Capricorn. Some of you could be providing a service or volunteering your help to someone, and this can be rewarding. Family matters can be particularly warm, easy, and natural now. You may be finding ways to make peace with the past, freeing you up for exciting times to come. Your mood is hopeful, accepting, and creative. Passions are strong, even if love is somewhat complicated. Your personal appeal is strong, and some of you could be making happy connections now.

Aquarius

Aquarius

This is a good day for making interesting connections with others, dear Aquarius, and for stimulating or even inspiring conversations. Something you experience today can help motivate you to be your best, particularly related to mental interests and projects. It can be a good day for opportunities to meet someone special through groups, acquaintances, and networking. Your creative powers are strong now, and smooth energy is with you for pursuing something new or for enjoying what you already have. You can be feeling especially motivated when it comes to pet projects, ideas, and friendships. Things that you’ve previously resisted learning can suddenly become appealing and relevant. You might make connections through the internet, on the phone, or even in the neighborhood that impact your life greatly.

Pisces

Pisces

There is friendly energy with you today, dear Pisces. Others can be especially intrigued with your point of view, talents, performance, or the services you offer professionally. This is a good time for showing the world your unique qualities and talents. You are communicating with special ease and your powers of persuasion are strong. Events taking place now may stimulate your ambition and gently push you to do your best. You can be feeling quite motivated, particularly when it comes to business. Relations with others may be exciting and enthusiasm runs high.

Your Love Horoscopes for the Week of Monday, April 11

 

  • General Horoscope

    This week will run from hot to cold so be sure to get your sexy in while you can. Tuesday is your day as Venus will snuggle up to Mars in a steamy embrace. The “cosmic lovers” happy together means you and your lover will be, too. Work it! By Sunday, everything might seem to lose its edge thanks to Mars shifting into retrograde motion. He’ll be retrograde until June 29, and sexual peaks might be a thing of the past. At least for a while.

  • Aries Horoscope MAR 21 – APR 19

    You might feel extra sexy early in the week and then all of a sudden; lose your steam before you even realize what hit you. Mars, your ruling planet, will turn retrograde on Sunday and as a result, you might not have all of your usual mojo. This is your opportunity for a cosmic time out. The universe recognizes that you need to rest and regroup in order to process and then focus on what’s really important. Honor it.

  • Taurus Horoscope APR 20 – MAY 20

    Early in the week you and your lover might enjoy exploring a taboo fantasy together. One way or another, an erotic encounter is likely. In addition, you might even allow your partner into a part of your psyche that you kept guarded for way too long. Tackling these trust issues will surely enhance the intimate connection you’re capable of having with each other.

  • Gemini Horoscope MAY 21 – JUN 20

    Make the most of the sizzling energy you’ll have early in the week with your partner because by the end of the week, things might just fizzle out. On Tuesday, it’s possible that the two of you will enjoy a fantastic social event together that gets both of you in the mood for love. By Sunday however, Mars will turn retrograde in your relationship sector. It’ll be time to slow down and contemplate where you’ve been and where you’re going.

  • Cancer Horoscope JUN 21 – JUL 22

    Something about work or a professional opportunity this week will really turn you on. Be sure to spend time with your sweetheart talking about your mutual career goals or helping each other achieve them. Or, you may want to tackle a project the both of you have been meaning to complete such as a minor home organization. Aim to finish up by the end of the week so that you don’t become frustrated by any unfinished work.

  • Leo Horoscope JUL 23 – AUG 22

    You might feel full of hope and anticipation early in the week when it comes to your romantic prospects. If you’ve recently started to date someone new and sparks are flying, you may be tempted to begin a sexual relationship with this new sweetheart. Be careful: Mars will turn retrograde in your true love sector on Sunday. This is a notorious situation where, if you start a new sexual relationship during this time, you might feel less than satisfied. Wait until after June 29. Frustrating? Yes. Worth it? Definitely.

  • Virgo Horoscope AUG 23 – SEP 22

    You might want to schedule a midday romantic lunch date with your sweetheart early in the week. Even better? Consider taking the day off on Monday or Tuesday and spend all day in bed together. Venus and Mars will be at a gorgeous angle, peaking Tuesday. This will allow you to enjoy the most erotic experience with your partner, right in the comfort of your home. Don’t waste it. Work will always be there at the office, waiting for you to return.

  • Libra Horoscope SEP 23 – OCT 22

    Aim to make the most of Tuesday’s romantic energy. Think of it as your “last hurrah” before Mars turns retrograde on Sunday and begins to slow down the progress you’ve been enjoying in the relationship department. Once Mars enters hibernation mode, it’s possible that you and your partner will find it more difficult to reach an agreement about an important matter. This impasse phase may last awhile. Then, you’ll need to use all of your signature patience.

  • Scorpio Horoscope OCT 23 – NOV 21

    There’s not much romantic potential for you this week, but you can still take advantage of the sexy link between Venus and Mars on Tuesday. Perhaps your lover will turn you on with talk about helping you find a freelance assignment or other way to earn extra money. Honestly, money and work will be on your mind way more than anything else this week. Focus on what you need to right now. You’ll have time for love after you pay the bills.

  • Sagittarius Horoscope NOV 22 – DEC 21

    Life may go from fun and sexy to downright drab this week. On Tuesday, you may feel like you and your lover are on some kind of high together. Indeed, it’ll be the best romantic day you have for quite some time so be sure to make the most of it. By Sunday, Mars will turn retrograde in your sign. You may notice a slump in energy and motivation. The universe wants you to pay attention to your goals and do some honest recalibration.

  • Capricorn Horoscope DEC 22 – JAN 19

    You and your sweetheart might enjoy a special day with family on Tuesday. It’s possible that a domestic matter will be resolved easily. Or, if the two of you have been thinking about sprucing up your home, you’ll find that you share the same ideas on how to proceed with a decorating project. After Sunday, you might feel a stronger need to conserve your energy. If you’re not “in the mood” as much, don’t dwell on it. It’s time to recharge your spiritual batteries.

  • Aquarius Horoscope JAN 20 – FEB 18

    If you’re single, your social life is the key to your love life these days. Perhaps you and a friend have been toying with the idea of exploring the mutual chemistry you share. If so, aim for Tuesday. There’s great potential for sparks to fly. After Sunday however, you might begin to second guess whether or not this friendship should be messed with. Going from friends to lovers will suddenly seem like a chaotic prospect.

  • Pisces Horoscope FEB 19 – MAR 20

    If you’re in a relationship, capitalize on the wonderful communication links that will happen this week. On Tuesday, you and your mate could be in perfect harmony about a financial decision. Then, on Thursday, you might be ready to sign a contract with your partner. It’ll be a great day to move forward on any real estate or family financial planning paperwork with your mate. After Sunday, life slows down for everyone. No need to worry; go with the flow.

Weekly Astrology: April 11-17, 2016

A screeching halt

Communication shines this week so be sure to use that cosmic edge to your full advantage! But there’s a cloud looming over everything as Mars slows down to turn retrograde this weekend…

Tuesday, April 12: Mercury sextile Neptune; Venus trine Mars

On Tuesday, Mercury will sextile Neptune and Venus will trine Mars — so you can also anticipate plenty of yummy, sexy action.

Thursday, April 14: Mercury trine Jupiter
Sunday, April 17: Mars Retrograde; Mercury trine Pluto

On Thursday, Mercury will trine Jupiter, then on Sunday Mercury will trine Pluto. This week serves as the perfect blend of inspiration, wisdom and power in communication. You can (and should) move forward in any contract, negotiation or meeting. Pitch an idea! Expect splendid progress in any writing project.

The problems begin on Sunday when Mars comes to a screeching halt. During his retrograde (lasting until June 29), mighty Mars will lose his pep. You will need to spend time cultivating inner resolve and re-strategizing your goals. This won’t be a good time to push new projects that you need incredible stamina or entrepreneurial power to see succeed.

Magickal Days of the Week – Tuesday

Named for the Norse god Tyr, who was a deity of heroism and combat, Tuesday is a very martial sort of day – color associations include bright red and oranges, as well as warrior-like metals such as iron and steel.

The ancient Romans called this day Martis, after the warrior god Mars – other deities associated with Tuesday include Ares, the Morrighan, and other gods of battle and glory. Red gemstones like rubies and garnets come into play on Tuesdays, as do herbs and plants such as thistles, holly, coneflowers and cacti – you’ll notice these are all sharp, prickly plants!

One of the interesting – and more than a little amusing – aspects of Tuesday magic is that in addition to war and conflict against your enemies, this is a day also associated with marriage. You can also use this day of the week for magical workings connected to protection and initiation. Use Tuesday to assert yourself, make a mark and stake your claims.

Tuesday’s Witchery

Magic Mermaid...
Tuesday’s Witchery

Tuesday is the day to work any magick that falls in the category of increasing strength, courage, bravery, and passion. All of these intense emotions are linked to this day’s energies, and spells designed around these themes will have extra punch when performed on this magickal day.

So, let’s add a little passion and conviction into your life! Break out the daring red pieces of your wardrobe, and put a little pizzazz into your day. Work with Lilith, and see what she has to teach you about personal power and sexuality. Meditate on Tiw/Tyr and Mars, and see what those ancient warrior gods will show you about new tactics, strategies, and claiming personal victories in your life. Practice conjuring up that astral weapon from the meditation and use it wisely for protection and for courage.

Create a philter for courage and protection or handcraft your own Witch’s jar to remove negativity from your home. See what other Witch crafts you can conjure up with Tuesday’s magick. Create some kitchen magick on this Tuesday by whipping up a spicy stew-add in a few Mars-associated ingredients such as carrots, peppers, and garlic. Empower the stew for success, and then treat yourself and your family to a good, hearty meal. Try working with a little aromatherapy and burn some spicy or coffee-scented candles to increase your energy level.

Check the sky at night, and see if you can find the reddish planet Mars up in the heavens. Not sure where to look? Check an astronomy magazine or search the Web for more information. Become a magickal warrior and move forward in your life with strength, courage, and compassion. Embrace the side of yourself that loves a good challenge and that is passionate and daring! Banish fear, and face your future with strength and conviction. Believe in yourself and in your dreams, work hard, and you will win every time.
