April 21 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Daily Horoscope Monday, April 20, 2020

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Saturn, which encourages you to be sensible. Discussions with someone older, perhaps a friend or a boss might go well. However, as the day wears on, this person might raise some obstacles. (Groan.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some behind-the-scenes research might pay off today. You feel good about your results. But as the day wears on, someone in a position of authority might challenge your suggestions. This might be due to frustrations dealing with the government.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Initially, you want to explore something because you see a practical advantage. However, later in the day (or perhaps tomorrow), you will see that things aren’t working out as smoothly as you had hoped. (If at first, you don’t succeed, hide all the evidence.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might impress a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority with your ideas today. These ideas could relate to shared property, taxes and debt. But later in the day, a friend might object to the same ideas. (Whaaat?) You can’t win!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will enjoy studying today, especially if it has a practical use. Or perhaps someone older has some advice for you? Ironically, later in the day, a boss, parent or someone in authority might throw cold water on your excellent ideas. Bummer.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might make headway dealing with taxes, debt, shared property or insurance issues. You have a practical, sensible take on things, which will allow you to accomplish something. Nevertheless, by the end of the day, you might encounter unwelcome restrictions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A discussion with a partner or close friend might yield some practical solutions for you today. Or perhaps you will talk to someone older or more experienced? Nevertheless, as the day wears on, restrictions, especially financial restrictions from another source, might disappoint.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Do what you can to mentally gear up so that you can get things done today. Decide to be more organized in your approach to everything. Likewise, decide to be supportive in a practical way to your own health. Don’t be discouraged if a discussion with a partner or close friend falls flat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day to hone a technique or practice a skill so that you can get better and better at it. Likewise, you might enjoy teaching children or young minds today. Be patient late in the day if restrictions throw a wrench in things for you. (Could be related to your job, your health or pet.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A family discussion will go well today because everyone wants practical results that will make life easier. This especially applies to DIY projects or home repairs. By evening, difficulties with kids or a romantic partner might take priority in your mind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a good day to do some serious planning because you are in a practical frame of mind, which means you won’t overlook details. Don’t be discouraged if a parent or someone older wants to put the kibosh on your plans. Maybe this means a delay?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

If shopping today, you will choose to buy long-lasting, practical items. Some might have interesting ideas about how to earn money? If so, don’t let anyone rain on your parade, later today because this could happen. Albert Einstein, your fellow Pisces, said, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Shemar Moore (1970) shares your birthday today. You are energetic, determined and enthusiastic about what you do. You work hard on your personal relationships; and you like your creature comforts. It’s time to identify future goals because you’re entering a year of exciting new beginnings! What do you want for yourself in the next several years? Be pro-active about going after what you want. This year you will be physically energetic!

Daily Horoscope Sunday, April 19, 2020

Moon Alert

Until 7:15 PM EDT today (4:15 PM PDT) we have the “all clear” to shop and do business. The Moon is in Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You feel encouraged today. Thank gawd, that light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train! The funny thing is that very little might have changed in the last few days,; nevertheless, you have a better feeling in your tummy today about everything. Go figure.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your ability to connect with a friend or a member of a group is excellent. You might talk to someone who encourages you, especially in terms of your future goals. You’re starting to see that fools rush in and get the best seats in the house!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are high viz. today. People notice you. With this in mind, it might be wise to always act as if what you do will make a difference. When you believe in yourself, others will believe in you as well. People are followers. Why not be the Pied Piper?

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

No matter how challenging your situation is at home or on the front lines, today you are encouraged about something. You have the ability to see the forest for the trees. This is good. When the sun shineth – maketh hay!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

It’s comforting to see you can count on some support down the line. This might come from the government, your partner, or a friend but definitely, the wealth and resources of others will ultimately benefit you. (Plus, what goes around, comes around.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your relations with partners and close friends will improve today. This is because everybody feels more upbeat and hopeful about things. It might also be a quality of accepting what is. After all, the definition of negativity is: wanting things to be different from the way they are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you are more encouraged about your health, your work or your job. A pet might be a source of joy because there is certainly something that makes you feel calmer and more hopeful about everything in your life. (Well, maybe “everything” is stretching it.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a playful, fun-loving day. Make a point to share fun activities with kids because you will find it to be a rewarding experience. Romance can also be more promising today for many different reasons. In fact, your general sense of well-being is happier – it’s that simple.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Family conversations are encouraging today, especially if you can make some kind of group connection on Whatsapp, or a conference call or whatever works for you. A sense of hope pervades things, which doesn’t mean problems have disappeared. It means your confidence about addressing them has increased.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have the ability to be a positive influence on someone today. This might happen with more than one person – siblings, relatives or neighbours? This will please you because you find it rewarding to socialize with others by working within the community.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Despite the bleak, economic forecasts for the world, you personally might see ways of improving your wealth, your earnings or even improving something that you own. In some tiny way, you can increase your assets today. Maybe in a big way?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Today the Moon is in your sign dancing with Jupiter. This is almost a guarantee that you will feel happier. In particular, you will enjoy contact with old friends and will feel gratified if you have a chance to help someone else. Working through a group is also favoured.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Comedian, actress Ali Wong (1982) shares your birthday today. You are a strong personality. You are innovative, creative and super dynamic! You can be successful in many fields. This year you’re winding up many things you began nine years ago by letting go of what is no longer relevant and moving on to something new and different. You are lightening your load to get ready for new beginnings!

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, April 19, to Saturday, April 25, 2020

All Signs

An astrology chart looks like a pizza cut into 12 slices. The planets “fall” into different slices (according to when you are born), and this describes who you are. Some people like to stay at home. Some sleep at home, but mostly they pop in and out to get things or change clothes. Some identify with their job and get their sense of self-worth from their work. Some are active with friends and enjoy involvement with organizations. Some love to entertain at home. Some want to travel; they live on the road. Some are house proud and buy things to feather their nest. We are all different, which is why we all have different challenges staying in isolation. We have different likes and dislikes! How else can you explain your in- laws?

Aries (March 21-April 19)

For the next four weeks, your world is about cash flow, earnings and assets. At the end of this week, something unexpected might happen with your earnings or something that you own. You’re a pioneer and a warrior. As a warrior, you expect your queen or government to provide you with your horse and kit so you can do their bidding. It’s always been this way, which is why you need security. Fear not! If your future looks uncertain, you only have to meet it one day at a time. Who is more resourceful, brave and resilient? Your future has not fallen flat – it’s just different. Share your ideas with others. The drastic changes taking place will create vacuums that need to be filled by those who act fast!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

No matter what obstacles you face in the next four weeks, know this: You have the advantage of having the Sun in your sign, which happens only once a year. This gives you power and boosts your confidence! It attracts good fortune to you as well as influential people. It not only gives you an edge to deal with what you face – it also gives you the chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You will attract money to you (and many will buy pretty things). Mars at the top of your chart, arouses your ambition, which gives you the get-up-and-go to accomplish what you want to do. Bravo!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep a low profile for the next four weeks. (Not usually your style.) By nature, you’re curious, active and busy cultivating your adoring peanut gallery. But since your birthday looms ahead, it means your personal year is ending. The Sun is “hiding” in your chart before it steps forth on your birthday. This means the next four weeks are the perfect opportunity to think about your future and what you want for your new year ahead. Ideas? Incidentally, you will charm anyone you encounter because fair Venus is in your sign. This is a good week to buy wardrobe items, which is always challenging if you do this online, unless you wear a toga.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

In the next four weeks, something will happen that makes you appreciate friendships and the people in your life. This appreciation might also apply to a group. You will welcome a chance to use a friend as a sounding board for your ideas about your future. If you’re involved in a group, you might flex your muscles and exert your influence in a leadership role. However, next weekend, something unexpected will happen. A friendship might end or someone might do something that surprises you. Or you might find yourself involved with someone who is different and unusual. (Could be interesting.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Oh wow! For the next four weeks, the Sun is at the top of your chart. (This happens only once a year.) This means you will be thrust in the spotlight of the Sun, and this light flatters you! Expect to be asked to take on increased responsibilities, even if you don’t do anything special. Yes – good lighting is everything. (“Are you ready for your close-up, Miss Garbo?”) Nevertheless, by the end of the week, something unexpected will happen that triggers your feelings of independence. You might want to rebel! Meanwhile, although Mars makes you impatient with partners and close friends, fair Venus makes you charming and diplomatic with others, including people in organizations.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

The next four weeks are challenging and refreshing. The challenging part is that you want to get outta Dodge. You want to travel and expand your world to discover adventure and be turned on by life! However, most of us are staying at home for the benefit of ourselves and others. This puts the kibosh on travel. But hey, you can still explore new ideas, study, learn or travel online by seeing exotic places and fascinating cities. Something unexpected, perhaps a surprise need to travel or news from afar will occur at the end of the week? Meanwhile, keep plugging away because bosses and parents are impressed with your efforts. (They really are.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You will explore your emotions and psychological makeup in the next four weeks. Perhaps it’s all this extra time? The solitude of home isolation? Perhaps it’s triggered by thoughts of impermanence and your own mortality. Whatever the cause, you will be passionate and intense in the next four weeks! You will want to experience life at a feeling level not just an intellectual grasp of things. You might encounter a teacher or a set of circumstances that provokes this inner exploration. Focus on finances, shared property and inheritances. You might try to get a loan. You cannot deny that there are strong psychological compulsions that lead to a change of behaviour within you that you might not understand. Ready to knock on the doors of perception?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

The Sun is opposite your sign for the next four weeks. (This occurs only once a year.) This is actually a wonderful opportunity for you to learn more about yourself through your one-to-one relations with others. Examine your relationship with your spouse or partner to see how it does or does not fill your needs. Are you happy? Are you unhappy? How do you fill their needs? This is your chance to be more aware of what’s going on. Intimate relations look good now because Venus favours sex and romance. Nevertheless, Mars at the bottom of your chart might make you behave in petty and irritable ways. (Whaaat?) Yes, it triggers domestic tension, especially with parents. You win some, you lose some. It was ever thus.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re in work mode for the next four weeks. Not only will you check your immediate surroundings to see what needs to be done, you will also strive to be better organized and more efficient. This is your quest! You will set such high standards for yourself that in addition to wanting to be better organized, you will want to be healthier as well. “I want it all!” Great! Motivation is everything. Be aware that you will also want to work on behalf of others. Fortunately, Venus opposite your sign makes you cooperative and diplomatic. Fear not you’re no pushover because Mars makes you identify with your ideas and encourages you to speak up! Oh yeah!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Oh joy! For the next four weeks, the Sun will be in the most fun-loving part of your chart. This means your focus on home and family will shift (although you might still be at home); nevertheless, you will feel freer to express yourself and be who you really are! You will want to get out and have a good time but you will figure out ways to amuse yourself at home. (You’re smart.) You will feel lighter than usual. Dare we say happier? (We did.) Enjoy playful times with kids. You can expect your relationships to be more lighthearted because you are happy to be in your own skin. (Likely, you will spend more money.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Even if you’ve been staying at home, in the four weeks ahead, you will focus on home and family more than ever. (Go figure.) For many, this is because you’re involved with a parent more than usual. You will feel good being in familiar surroundings because you want to establish a base for your activities. This doesn’t mean you won’t live up to the demands of your outer world because you will. Nevertheless, you welcome any chance to be by yourself to contemplate life and meditate. Memories of the past will come up. In fact, this will help any psychological self-evaluation that you might explore. (It’s easiest to train children when they’re Jung, and easily Freudian.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

In the next four weeks, it will be challenging to stay at home because, you’re restless! Because you want to learn and explore new ideas, you’re eager to reach out to others and enlighten them about your thoughts. This is why you will talk to siblings and neighbours more than usual (via Zoom, Skype, whatever). Note: It will be easy to write, study and learn something new! Your challenge is that you can’t travel, which is what you really want to do. Fortunately, Venus will pave the way for warm family relations. Meanwhile, Mars encourages working alone or behind the scenes. It’s all good.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’ll have no trouble defending your own best interests in discussions about shared property, inheritances, taxes, insurance disputes and anything to do with the wealth and resources of others – this includes dealing with the government. This is because your mind is in overdrive today!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a busy day for you, in part because you have the ability to present your ideas to others. You will convince those who are close to you to follow your beliefs and do your bidding. If you have to convince someone of something today – you will!

This is the perfect day to learn something new because you have lots of mental energy. Likewise, you can spin this mental energy and challenge it into sales, marketing, teaching and acting.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re full of moneymaking ideas or better ways to deal with your financial situation today. Likewise, you might want to clean, repair and organize your possessions because you want to establish better control in your life through what you own. Sounds good to me.

Daily Horoscope Friday, April 17, 2020

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 10:15 AM to 2:45 PM ET today (7:15 AM to 11:45 AM PDT). After that, the Moon moves from Aquarius into Pisces.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You love to work with your hands and try any new discipline to puncture the mystique of how it is done. Today is an excellent day to push the boundaries of your imagination and creative talents – writing, drawing, welding, sculpting, sewing – you name it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you will find it easy to get in touch with your inner world, which might make you feel more contented. Perhaps you will have a better appreciation of your situation, which despite its frustrations, is still so fortunate in global terms. So say we all.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you appreciate being in touch with others – friends and groups in social media or in hailing distance from your balcony. However, you connect with others today, you will feel genuine affection for them (whether you tell them or not).

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a favourable day to talk to parents, bosses and VIPs if you want to keep things well-oiled and friendly. However, if you’re making a pitch or you want to volunteer for something – check the Moon Alert (see above). Don’t volunteer for anything during a Moon Alert.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

In times not so long ago, you would have enjoyed getting out and travelling today. Now you must look for other ways to expand your horizons. Use books, film, the Internet and talking to people from other cultures to learn something new that excites you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

With the exception of the time during the Moon Alert, this is a good day to discuss insurance issues, shared property, wills, estates and anything you own jointly with others. The reason for this is people will be reasonable and fair-minded.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is the ideal day to tell a partner or close friend how much they mean to you. (People love to hear this!) And yet, too often, we never express our affection for others. It’s important for someone to know that they mean something to you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Good news related to your health will please you today. Similarly, something pleasant related to a pet will lift your day. Those of you who are working at home or on the front lines, will find coworkers to be cooperative and supportive.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a creative day! Not only are you in touch with your creative talents, you will enjoy a chance to express this side of yourself. Even if you sit down with your kids with crayons and a colouring book – you’ll enjoy it. (As kids we were ALL creative – what ever happened?)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an excellent day for family discussions, because people will be more inclined to show their affection for each other. They might offer help and support. Note: If you are going to volunteer for anything – don’t do it during the Moon Alert.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You still have lots of energy because fiery Mars is in your sign; and today, your ability to sweet-talk to others is excellent. Oh yes – you will be in the right place, at the right time, saying the right thing, to the right person. (The right place for most of us is right at home.)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might come up with some excellent moneymaking ideas today. And because you are attracted to beautiful things, you might shop online to buy something pretty for yourself or loved ones. Note: Don’t shop during the Moon Alert. (See above.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jennifer Garner (1972) shares your birthday today. You are confident and responsible; and you require a loving partner.

April 17 Moon Goddess’ Current Phase

Today the Moon will be in a Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this phase the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

Daily Horoscope Thursday, April 16, 2020

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your emotional contact with friends or groups is important to you today. One thing many people in isolation are realizing is the importance of emotional connections with others. We need each other. How we relate to others defines who we are.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Intimate details about your personal life might be on public display today. This might be disconcerting, because in varying degrees, we all have something to hide. Nevertheless, be aware of this, so you are not caught off guard.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Today you want to get away from all this! You need a change of scenery. Hmm, this is impossible for most of us. However, not entirely impossible. What you really need is mental stimulation! You need to do something different and learn something new.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You watch your pennies because you’re thrifty. Today is a good day to set aside some time to focus on taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances, wills, estates and all that red-tape stuff that’ not going to go away on its own. Set aside 15 or 20 minutes to dig in and get something done.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For two days every month, the Moon is opposite your sign. (Today is the second day.) When this occurs, it draws your attention to your loved ones and partners. It heightens your emotions, which makes confrontations more emotional. (Yikes!) Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t be resentful if you have to put the wants and needs of someone else before your own today. It’s just what’s happening. The Moon is in a certain part of your chart, and this happens to each one of us every month. Big deal. You can handle it. It’s a joy to labour for those you love.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you want the freedom to be yourself and do your own thing because of the placement of the Moon. Romantic relationships will be more emotional than usual. Quite likely, you will feel protective and nurturing to someone. Enjoy time with kids.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Because this is a natural time to cocoon at home by yourself, today it won’t be so tough to be in isolation because this is actually what you want to do! If you’re in close quarters with others, find some space to contemplate your navel. You need this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Communications with others are important to you today. Of course, because you are the truth seeker of the zodiac, you want a heart-to-heart, tell-it-like-it-is conversation. This is why you will feel impatient if people are superficial or in denial. You want something authentic!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are a practical sign, and today you’re concerned with money, earnings and your possessions. Don’t be overcome by worries because once every 12 years, lucky Jupiter is in your sign helping you more than ever to deal with your life. The year 2020 is your turn! Yes, you are protected!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is in your sign (as it was yesterday and tomorrow morning.) This happens for approx. two days every month, and when it occurs, although it can make you more emotional about everything, it also brings you a bit of extra good luck. This is good.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will be happy to withdraw from the busyness around you and seek out solitude if possible because this is what you need today. You might also enjoy exploring a mystical or spiritual discipline. (You are a very psychic sign.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sadie Sink (2002) shares your birthday today. You are an optimist who is outgoing and friendly. You are energetic but also kind and gentle. Service to others is your theme this year, especially with family. This means you must take care of yourself so that you are a strong resource for yourself and others. Invest in the relationships that you value. Tap into your personal creativity and hobbies.
