Weekly Love Horoscopes for April 25

General Weekly Love Horoscope

An opposition from restrictive Saturn to loving Venus on Friday could take some of the steam out of romance this weekend. Yet even if we encounter obstacles, rejection or self-doubt, the fiery Aries Moon keeps pumping us up with fresh hope and bringing surprises that can turn social darkness into light and laughter.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The Moon in your impulsive sign makes you itchy for action this weekend. But there’s some unfinished personal business to complete before you’re free to play. A serious conversation on Friday will test your commitment toward a relationship. Dealing with the consequences of past actions might not be fun, but is a necessary step to building trust.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Do your best to stay out of the line of fire this weekend since explosive emotions can create unsettling conditions. The restless Aries Moon in your 12th House of Escapism is better suited for avoiding the spotlight than being in the middle of a crowd. Just take some time out to rest and relax instead of overloading your social calendar or pushing for romance.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Going out with friends should make your social life especially entertaining this weekend. The Aries Moon lights up your 11th House of Groups and puts you in the middle of the action, which is both exciting and risky. The downside is that you could get caught up in someone else’s conflict. Avoid getting involved in others’ craziness if you want to have a good time.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might think that you’re the only adult in a world filled with bratty children this weekend. The mood-setting Moon is in rambunctious Aries and your 10th House of Public Responsibility, making you feel like you have to control those around you. But if you want to enjoy yourself, let others do what they want as long as it doesn’t affect you directly.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Heading into unfamiliar social territory could be the key to making your romantic life more interesting this weekend. The Moon is traveling through your 9th House of Faraway Places, which arouses restless feelings and intense wanderlust. Broadening your horizons with cultural events and people from different countries can provide the spice you need to capture your attention.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Surprises are likely this weekend. In spite of your careful planning, it’s almost certain that you will encounter unpredictable people and situations that upset your expectations. While conflicts are possible, a flexible attitude and open mind can invite delight where you least expect to find it, including an attraction to someone who’s not your usual type.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

The enthusiastic Aries Moon visits your 7th House of Partners this weekend, which should energize your social life. But you may be too hard on yourself to take advantage of the romantic opportunities. Be clear about what (and who) you want and don’t want, instead of simply shutting up and accepting circumstances that aren’t meeting your needs. You are entitled to be happy just as much as anyone else.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Caution is recommended in personal matters this weekend with the Aries Moon speeding through your 6th House of Adjustments. A minor misunderstanding could flame up into a major conflict if you don’t keep your cool. On the plus side, romantic sparks could fly when you’re working with someone and have zero expectations of the fun to come. Keep your options open and you might be pleasantly surprised.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Suit up for a stupendous weekend with the adventurous Aries Moon firing through your 5th House of Romance. Fun and games are to be expected when you allow your spontaneous side to lead the way. You’re bound to make a splash now, but be sensitive if you’re around someone who feels knocked down by life and needs a little tenderness. Consider your audience before you accidentally hurt anyone’s feelings.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may have to deal with some serious relationship or self-worth issues on Friday when your hyper-responsible ruling planet Saturn makes a challenging opposition to lovable Venus. But if you can get the hard work out of the way, you will earn the right to party. Play must come after work, which fits your usual mode of operation, anyway.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Excitement could await around every corner this weekend. The Moon in high-energy Aries is heating up your 3rd House of Nearby Places and can turn a little trip to the store into a significant social event. Chatty strangers want to tell you their life stories, which is fine only if they,re very interesting, since you may not be especially patient for small talk now.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Set aside the tender side of your personality and show some toughness this weekend. The Moon is in rough and ready Aries, which is more about acting first and thinking later than carefully preparing every move. Being bolder in your attitude and appearance may shock those who know you well, but are excellent ways to earn the attention you desire.

Daily Horoscopes for April 24

General Daily Horoscope

Today begins slowly with a steady Capricorn Moon and restrictive Saturn still opposing logical Mercury. But the energy shifts at 1:58 pm EDT when the Moon enters futuristic Aquarius, releasing us from the past and focusing our interest on what’s next. Since this is just the first full day of Mercury’s direct motion, it may take a while to get back up to speed. It’s a familiar message: although we’re wired with anticipation, we must be patient.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You are ready to go out and have fun today, but you might be a bit detached from what actually happens. Ironically, you know what you want, but may not care all that much if you actually get it. Remaining open to the difference between your wishes and the events of the day can be healthy, but don’t be so disconnected that you are in denial of your emotions. Acknowledging your feelings is a crucial part of your long-term happiness.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You know what you want to say to those around you, but you might choose to minimize the intensity of your current feelings. Part of the problem is that you’re connected with your dreams, and you don’t want to justify yourself to anyone else now. Acting as if you’re emotionally detached gives you a bit more freedom. Just keep in mind that it also takes work to avoid getting hooked on your desires.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are looking forward to beginning something new in the days ahead, but you first have to finalize your plans. Acting impulsively won’t be sufficient; this isn’t just about doing something for fun. The Moon’s entry into your 9th House of Adventure reflects your current need to expand your horizons. Don’t settle for the easy way out; creating a sound strategy can be your key to accomplishing your goals.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are emotionally nurtured by the physical closeness of your loved ones, yet now you might feel resistant to someone’s advances. Your current retreat probably isn’t about fearing intimacy; instead, it’s more likely about your goal to become more independent. Stepping out beyond your comfort zone is healthy as long as you don’t alienate your loyal allies in the process.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

A weird conversation with a close friend or partner today could reveal more information than you think you need to know. You might be uncomfortable because you aren’t certain how to respond to what you learn. Keep in mind that you don’t have to control what’s happening, nor do you have to do anything about your new perspective. Take all the time you need before drawing your own conclusions.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want to do your routine chores in the same way as you have always done them. You are bored today and might attempt a different approach just to make your day more exciting. Don’t be concerned if something takes longer because of your unorthodox style. Time isn’t really being wasted, because you’re gaining valuable experience that can pay off in the near future.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may want to spend time with a really good friend today because their enthusiasm is contagious and fun. You feel as if something is about to change and your life could suddenly become more intense. However, there’s no need to worry about being too busy later on; you’ll still find time to relax. Make a commitment to enjoy yourself no matter how the day plays out.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may come close to losing your temper today if something at home doesn’t conform to your heart’s desire. It’s not that an unexpected exchange will catch you off guard; it’s just that you could be compulsive about how you want your day to unfold. Your current inflexibility can make you feel discouraged. It helps to be open to the natural fluidity of the moment. A total surprise may turn out much better than you expect.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

There are many things to do and so many interesting people to see, but you may have packed one too many activities into a finite amount of time. Instead of simply enjoying the diversity, you could be distracted by the practical necessity of having to adhere to a tight calendar. Try canceling or even postponing a few appointments before it’s too late. Your weekend will be more enjoyable if you adopt a slower pace.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You’re eager to have a bit of time at home today, especially if a busy social calendar has kept you jumping throughout the past week. It’s healthy to reconsider what you want for yourself now, instead of just keeping up appearances and doing whatever’s expected of you. Maintaining your integrity is important. Set new boundaries and, within reason, do whatever makes you feel good.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be needier than usual today with the Moon visiting your sign. Unfortunately, your friends and family might not take care of you and you cannot realistically expect them to read your mind. You’ll be happier if you are open with your feelings and clearly communicate what you want, even if you have little chance for satisfaction. Be upfront and only participate in activities that will make you happy.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Although there are still opportunities available, you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders today. But your somber perspective is internal, so you might not want to burden others with your troubles. Fortunately, you are able to lighten your load by focusing on your ideal future and allowing the hope of your dreams to lift you beyond your current obligations.

New Moon Report for 4/23 – Mercury Direct

Mercury Direct

Saturday, April 23

The forward turn of the communication planet in pioneering Aries helps get projects off the ground and paves the way to making new connections. Delays caused by complications during the previous three-week retrograde period are finally ready to be overcome as we put the past behind us. However, when planets change directions they move very slowly at first, indicating the need to maintain a bit of patience even as our minds are racing ahead with anticipation of whatever comes next.

Daily Horoscopes for April 21st

General Daily Horoscope

Our senses are on edge with anticipation as sweet Venus rushes into reckless Aries today, tempting us to take risks. We are enthusiastic with five planets in Aries, especially since Venus feeds our desire for something new and different as she moves to hook up with wild Uranus tomorrow. Additionally, the optimistic Sagittarius Moon lifts our spirits even higher. Still, a little self-restraint is necessary until Mercury turns direct on Saturday.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The good news is that Venus, the planet of love, is now visiting your signuntil May 15, improving your chances to receive more pleasure and wealth. However, you must be careful about overindulging or overspending when you seek sensual and material gratification. You still need to mitigate any tension that is created in the pursuit of your idyllic visions. Don’t be discouraged if it takes longer than you wish to reach your dreams.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are moving into a phase when your fantasies can lead you down new avenues of exploration. Beautiful Venus is now in your 12th House of Imagination, activating dreams that can break you out of your old habitual desires. Remember, you don’t have to materialize every flight of fancy. Just acknowledge the opportunity to widen your horizons as you consider roads previously not taken.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although you may still be working through a few self-imposed limitations, you’re on the verge of transforming how you relate to your friends. Your new way of interacting with others brings refreshing waves of change to your relationships and social life. However, everything you do has consequences, so keep in mind that your easygoing style may not be interpreted as all fun and games by someone else. Instead of assuming that everyone is on the same wavelength, take the time to check in with those close to you.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s wonderful if amicable Venus in your 10th House of Career makes your job more enjoyable over the next few weeks. But her public position in your chart can create anxiety as you are now pulled outside of your safety zone. Fortunately, moving beyond your comfortable limits should be less stressful than you expect; in fact, you could be rewarded for your courage if you are willing to take a chance.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Thankfully, the sky clears today, leaving you with an unobstructed view of what’s possible. Your imagination is vivid, allowing you to see your life the way you want it to be, rather than limiting your vision to the way things are now. This newfound perspective enables you to set lofty goals and, fortunately, with a lot of persistence and a little luck, your chances of reaching them are quite good.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You could be at an emotional tipping point now as you balance on the edge of a feeling that is both attractive and frightening. Although someone or something can awaken your interest, it may be too early to respond openly. Exercising caution is a good idea while Venus is in your 8th House of Intimacy, especially if your excitement causes you to lose objectivity. Move slowly before jumping in with both feet.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your ruling planet Venus is in your 7th House of Others for the next few weeks and this should have a positive impact on your partnerships. A new situation seems to inspire your creativity and playfulness, which in turn makes you more attractive to others. Be willing to entertain business or personal relationship possibilities that you would normally pass by. Most importantly, don’t be afraid to enjoy yourself now while you can.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Venus enters your 6th House of Work today, enticing you to get down to the nuts and bolts of what makes your life function most effectively. Practicing self-restraint often helps you avoid an awkward social situation, but now charming Venus in spontaneous Aries can push you to take action, instead. How you manage this impulsive energy over the next few weeks is up to you, but don’t forget that depth and intensity is required in any relationship or you’ll lose interest very quickly.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your feelings about a special friend or lover are quite straightforward, but if you freely express your emotions it will definitely increase the complexity of the interpersonal dynamics. You might think you can just play it cool today, but the Moon in your sign makes it challenging to remain on the sidelines when your desires are stirred. Still, it’s a smart idea to consider the consequences of your actions before you make any moves.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may believe that you’re running out of time today, but it’s smarter to wait until after Mercury turns direct this weekend before you do anything rash. Usually, you are able to be patient if you have a plan in place, but your feelings are strong enough now to tempt you to behave impulsively. Your greatest strength is your ability to calculate cause and effect. You’ll know when it’s time; until then, keep reminding yourself that you could lose a fantastic opportunity if you act too soon.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be ready to start your journey, however, you probably don’t have a clear idea of which direction to take today. You might have thought that you knew where you were going, but you aren’t so certain anymore. You would be wise to consider making a correction to your itinerary before it’s too late. Even if you’re drawn toward multiple destinations, choosing one path now will pay off faster than you realize.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You could become interested in new ways to make money as enriching Venus moves through your 2nd House of Income over the next few weeks. But it’s more important to reconsider any changes to your current course before putting them into action because they will likely sound better than they actually are in reality. Remember that you might want more than you need now, so it’s wise to scale back voluntarily before circumstances require you to abandon your unrealistic plans.

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 20th

General Daily Horoscope

A new astrological month begins as the Sun enters Taurus at 6:17 am EDT. The Bull symbolizes the power of spring’s rising energy. What began last month must gain structure to endure, but the Sun’s cooperative sextile with imaginative Neptune emphasizes the importance of our dreams in creating reality. Meanwhile, the Moon shifts into adventurous Sagittarius at 2:49 am, reflecting our need to reach beyond the ordinary for meaning.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You’ve been going at full throttle for a while, but it’s finally time to slow down and enjoy what you’ve accomplished. However, this won’t be as easy as it sounds, even with the Sun’s move into earthy Taurus today. You may be more determined now to relax, but there’s still a pile of planets clustered in fiery Aries, so don’t judge yourself too harshly if it still takes a while for your energy to settle down.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

The Sun returns to your sign today, boosting your energy and restoring your confidence in your ability to finish whatever you start. But as your rigidity increases, you also realize the inadequacy of your current strategy. Being aware of your limitations is just as important as believing you can do anything. A familiarity with your shortcomings can be an asset, but your chances for success will be improved by concentrating primarily on your strengths.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your key planet Mercury nears the end of its retrograde phase, yet runs into a bit of trouble today when it opposes powerful Saturn, blocking your regular avenues of communication. Someone may appear to be working against you, but, luckily, you have the patience to sort out everything. If you can tighten your logic, you should be able to make your case effectively. When the time comes, don’t embellish your presentation; the facts will tell the story well enough on their own.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may already believe that your life will get easier for you, even if you aren’t fully ready to trust your intuition. The Sun’s entry into your 11th House of Hopes and Wishes can shine a new light on what makes you happy. Instead of having to fight for your ideas, you are entering a phase when your peers will stand behind you. Don’t let old fears sabotage your endeavors. Have a little faith in your friends and graciously accept their support when they offer it.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may be confronted today by someone who threatens your status. Unfortunately, this conflict could turn sour, even if you did nothing wrong. Obviously, you don’t have to admit that you were at fault, only that you’re sorry to have made the situation any worse. A heartfelt apology can clear the air and free everyone to move on.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You might think you have a smarter idea for nearly everything today, but that doesn’t mean your way is really the best course of action. Unfortunately, you could be so sure of yourself now that you’ll take on anyone who disagrees with your plan. Thankfully, you should come to your senses before an argument reaches the point of no return. In a fight to the finish, there will be no winners, so find common ground and build a consensus from that point on.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are feeling a bit spacey now and even though you have some interesting and creative ideas, it’s difficult for you to express them. Normally, you’re able to maintain a healthy perspective, but today you could grow obsessive by trying too hard to make your point. It’s counterproductive to worry about what others think. Just share what’s on your mind and then let it go.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A discussion could escalate into a power struggle today, even if your intention is to return to simplicity. The Sun’s entry into placid Taurus lures you into believing the disarming illusion that relationships can always be bucolic. But conflict may return when you remember that you’re not interested in compromising your zest for life. Passion is still more important to you than comfort alone.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Conversations with co-workers can blow someone’s feelings out of proportion today, adding plenty of confusion to the situation. The more you try to talk it out, the more complicated it becomes. Part of the problem is that it’s easy to make broad sweeping statements that are based upon generalities. Instead, be picky and stick to the details. The more specific you can be now, the less time it will take to resolve the current misunderstanding.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You feel your strength returning and are eager to be productive, even if there are tricky communication issues that need to be managed today. You might be inclined to jump in and tackle a problem directly, but this isn’t the best approach now. Your compulsive need to gain closure on an emotional issue may warp your perspective, so wait for your clarity to return before saying something you’ll regret.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have thoughts that seem so astounding today you cannot let go of them. But you might be afraid to share your ideas for fear that others will steal them from you. Your current paranoia isn’t likely based on what’s happening now, but rather on a memory about someone once getting credit for what you did. Reframing old disappointments is part of a therapeutic process, as long as you’re willing to acknowledge the difference between the past and the present.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your fantasies seem larger than life today, yet there’s little chance that you’ll get lost in them because the practical Taurus Sun keeps you firmly grounded. Listen closely to your intuition, as knowledge is revealed through the practice of meditation, yoga and other relaxation techniques. But this inward focus can be a waste of time unless you follow through in the outer realms, too. Once you are clear about your goals, you’ll have a better idea of what to do next.

Your Daily Horoscopes for April 19th

General Daily Horoscope

It’s tough getting our thoughts across as messenger Mercury slows to a crawl, ending its retrograde period on April 23 and heightening the lingering stress we feel from yesterday’s frustrating Mars-Saturn opposition. But bottled emotions can reach a flash point now as Mercury hooks up with contentious Mars. However, losing our cool may not fix anything because the intense Scorpio Moon wants us to handle the real issues and not just the symptoms.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may have to face a deep-rooted fear, you’re willing to discuss a difficult issue today. Unfortunately, your good intentions don’t necessarily mean that you’ll get to the heart of the matter. Your goal is admirable, but you can appear so thoroughly engaged in the conversation that no one notices you’re just putting up a smokescreen to prevent others from getting past your defensive shell. Share your truth with someone you trust to avoid feeling isolated.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your co-workers and friends can be too intense for your taste today, but you can’t just ignore them. Your sense of loyalty enables you to interact with others on equal footing, but your dissatisfaction grows until you suddenly say what’s on your mind. Don’t be too hard on yourself for your emotional outburst; it’s healthier to get your feelings out into the open sooner than later.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You can surprise others with your unflappable determination today, and could do such a good job that they cannot help but take notice of you. Meanwhile, you might be secretly trying to avoid the spotlight now, tempting you to give out mixed messages. Although your key planet Mercury is receiving an energetic boost from Mars, it’s really not about what you say; it’s more about what you’re not saying. Think twice prior to hiding something you might be better off sharing.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Your need for a deep emotional attachment is magnified today by the Moon’s visit to passionate Scorpio. However, you might try to cover up your vulnerability by confronting someone about something that’s completely unrelated. Fortunately, sharing a romantic inclination can open up new avenues of communication. But don’t push too hard; for now, find satisfaction with whatever happens.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be more self-protective now than anyone realizes, but your social veneer makes it look like you’re fully engaged in your relationships. People close to you may be impressed with your optimistic demeanor, however, you may be reliving unexpressed hurt that continues to be recycled in your life. For now, there’s no reason to change your behavior; it’s okay to dance between two positions. Thankfully, you will be able to meld these disparate realities with time.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You prefer that no one messes with your schedule today because you know exactly what should be done and just want to get on with it. You aren’t happy wasting any time having to explain yourself to others. Nevertheless, it isn’t smart to alienate your friends and family. Seek ways to maintain your focus without cutting yourself off from the love and support that’s available to you now.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Sometimes you are so gracious that you can appear more easygoing than you actually feel. However, today you’re feeling uncharacteristically selfish. It isn’t that you are antisocial; it’s just that you don’t want to put up a phony front for the sake of making others feel better. Don’t try to justify your actions; just be true to yourself while remaining kind to everyone else.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It can be rather challenging to deal with your own powerful emotions now that the Moon is back in formidable Scorpio. Thankfully, you can transform your difficult feelings into a vision of hope. Sharing your dreams for the future can be quite inspiring to others, which in turn ultimately improves your mood by making you feel more positive about yourself.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Today’s Sun-Mercury conjunction falls in your 5th House of Self-Expression, inspiring you to use your motivational gifts. Although your words often help others to be more confident, your over-the-top exuberance now could also be a bit intimidating. There’s no need to drive your point home with extra intensity; just share your perspective and then give your friends and associates enough space so they can assimilate the possibilities at their own pace.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Acknowledging your extreme reactions to your friends can actually improve your relationships with them, while hiding your feelings could create unnecessary tension. Fortunately, a solid friendship will almost always withstand the truth. Don’t withhold what’s on your mind today; ultimately, your good intentions will prevail over the temptation to rationalize away your integrity.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Passing the time with your co-workers or friends today can be an uplifting and motivational experience. Although there could be a few tricky turns to the conversation, the process of sharing may be exactly what you need to overcome your current negativity, especially if you have recently slipped into a bit of a slump. But this isn’t about being logical; you don’t need to justify anything now. Just open your mind and bask in the camaraderie of your peers.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your empathy can be one of your greatest strengths; however, it may also be a source of your current anxiety. Being sensitive to other people’s needs is a blessing unless you can’t set healthy boundaries and turn it off when appropriate. Even if your intentions are good, feeling pain that’s not yours isn’t always helpful. Try to remain positive and then move on; emotional detachment can be liberating to all.

Daily Horoscopes for April 18th

General Daily Horoscope

We are pushed to emotional extremes with the Moon’s entry into passionate Scorpio at 2:18 am EDT. However, an ongoing tug-of-war between our personal needs and anyone who stands in our way may reach a turning point today. The tension grows to a crescendo as impulsive Mars opposes restrictive Saturn, demanding that we find balance prior to continuing our journey. Instead of struggling to power forward, we must reconsider less aggressive options.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may attempt to take a shortcut today, hoping that no one will notice. Luckily, you are clever enough to fool others with your scheme, but only for a little while. Unfortunately, outmaneuvering reality by trying to control the situation won’t work for you now. A smarter approach would be to temper your over-the-top story with a healthy dose of pragmatism before you end up looking foolish.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may not be feeling overly optimistic today, but it’s a smart strategy to fake an air of confidence anyway. You could receive recognition now for your ability to see the potential in a situation and to rally others to your cause. But don’t exaggerate your ideas, or you’ll lose support when it becomes obvious that you cannot fulfill all your big promises. It’s more advantageous now to offer less and deliver more than anyone expects.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

If you have been carried away recently by your own grand ideas, your optimism could be a problem. You’re able to sell blue sky and rainbows to others, even if they actually remain out of reach. Unfortunately, your hard work won’t be enough now to make all your dreams come true. Instead of creating impossible expectations, just quietly apply yourself the best you can toward manifesting the future as you see it.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be hesitant to say what’s on your mind today, because you don’t want to rain on everyone’s parade. Although you might not be the one to deliver the bad news, you aren’t fooled by all the people who are admiring the Emperor’s new suit of clothes. Rather than playing the role of the naysayer now, it may be smarter to just keep quiet. Don’t waste your energy arguing with those who cannot see what’s truly happening.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon is brightening your sensitive 4th House of Home and Family today, reminding you that your current negativity can actually influence your point of view. Others might appear very positive about what’s going on, even if you are questioning their authority. However, you don’t have to fall prey to grandiose thinking. Do the intelligent thing and trust your own analysis over someone else’s hopeful dreams.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You can turn one thought into a whole philosophical treatise today. However, you’re capable of rationalizing nearly anything, which makes you a very effective negotiator. Unfortunately, it’s hard to see the negative side of a situation now until it’s too late. Don’t hold on to an idea any longer if you know that it doesn’t make sense. You can waste valuable time and significant energy if you are too rigid in your approach.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might not be all that upbeat today, even if you can visualize the great opportunities ahead. But you are highly realistic now, enabling you to also see all the potential problems. Relax and don’t struggle too much to overcome your current self-doubt. Thankfully, your negativity will dissipate before your fears can even manifest.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Although you can be masterful enough today to find a solution to the knottiest of problems, the Moon in your secretive sign urges you to keep your intentions quiet. Instead of calling attention to yourself, jump in and just do your share of the work. If your plan is successful, you can confidently tell others about your idea with a real sense of authority, rather than waving a flag while you’re still unsure about what you’re doing.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

It’s challenging to be practical today because of your high level of enthusiasm. You are quite sure that you can pull off nearly anything you put your mind to now. But you may have a rude awakening if you take on more than you can handle. Unfortunately, you might have to put in a superhuman effort to meet your current obligations, instead of falling short of your promises. Ultimately, it’s best to avoid making too many commitments in the first place.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Someone else’s tactics could clash with yours today, yet it still isn’t a good idea to turn a minor disagreement into a major argument. Even if your strategy is better, open conflict will not create the opportunity you seek; it will only add obstacles to your progress. Aggressive behavior won’t work in your favor, either. Demonstrate your competence by retreating quietly, upgrading your plan and then trying again when everyone is ready to listen.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You might try to convince someone that you’re right by sharing your positive outlook and making bold assertions today. But your enthusiasm is not a substitute for the work required to reach your ambitious goals. If you haven’t aimed too high, you should be able to overcome any resistance you encounter, but don’t expect immediate results. Success could take more time and effort than you thought.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are motivated to accomplish a lot today, yet it might not be easy to sustain your efforts. Even if you begin to feel worn out, you can reach into your deep spiritual well for the inspiration you need to keep going. Sometimes, you lose hope when you run into apparently insurmountable obstacles. But now you are eager to work hard and show the world what you’re made of. Have faith and let your light shine for everyone to see.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/17

General Daily Horoscope

A free-floating tension permeates relationships today as the Full Moon in diplomatic Libra at 10:43 pm EDT reflects the self-centered Aries Sun. We are challenged to balance our personal desires with the needs of those we love. However, we may try to avoid reason with so many planets moving through impulsive Aries. Nevertheless, stern Saturn in Libra weighs down our thoughts and requires us to take others seriously if we want to be happy.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The logical Libra Full Moon acts like a mirror today, allowing you to perceive yourself more clearly. But it’s hard to describe what you see, for Mercury the Communicator is still retrograde in your sign, muddling the meaning of what you say. Thankfully, your persistence should pay off. Don’t fret if your message isn’t getting through now. Instead, take a deep breath, gather your thoughts, and then try again.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You want all the details of the day to fall in place and flow smoothly, yet something seems a bit off. Even if you understand that it may be wise to keep your discomfort to yourself, you also worry that the opportunity for improvement could fade if you don’t speak up right now. Nevertheless, it’s smarter to smile and save your words for another day when others will be more receptive to your feedback.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You don’t want to stir up any trouble today, especially if your shenanigans could lessen your opportunities for pleasure. The Full Moon in your 5th House of Play enables you to get away with mischief because your friends will enjoy being around you even more than usual now. But don’t overplay your hand or they will see through your charm and might be annoyed that you are avoiding the real issues. Rather than simply seeking a good time, balance your lighthearted spirit with a more serious approach to life.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Today’s strategic Libra Full Moon in your 4th House of Home and Family triggers familiar issues about lingering insecurities. You might choose to distract your attention from a vulnerable spot by starting a new project around the house. You could even be so effective with this tactic that you alleviate the tension for a while. But you cannot escape completely and the sooner you face your emotions, the sooner everyone will begin to feel better.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are motivated by your need to know what’s going on with a friend today. Simultaneously, you may become so preoccupied with an impractical idea that it can turn into an obsession. However, your desire for a bit of adventure may leave you little time to get involved with someone else’s drama. Try to relate what you are now learning about yourself to the goals you are attempting to reach.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Money issues are emphasized now as today’s Libra Full Moon highlights your 2nd House of Finances. You may try to balance your current desires with your available funds and discover you’re not in any position to buy something you don’t really need. You could also realize that your old values are out of sync with what you want to do now. There’s no hurry, so step slowly into your future. If you move at your own pace, you can regain fiscal integrity sooner than you think.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Getting along nicely with others is more difficult than usual today because the pleasure-seeking Libra Full Moon activates several combative Aries planets. It might be more enjoyable if there was someone special with whom you could share your experience. However, you may not have the patience to cultivate open communication. Don’t lose hope; you could be in for a sweet surprise when you least expect it.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Today’s gentle Libra Full Moon adds an emotional charge to your 12th House of Imagination, yet can also prevent you from reaching satisfaction. You might be very certain about the intimacy you are currently seeking, but the opportunity seems to dissipate upon closer analysis. Don’t force any decisions prematurely. If you take the time to talk about what you want, the right person may be eager to follow your lead.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You might place such inflated expectations on your friends today that you just assume they will come through for you. Although they might actually meet your high standards, the Full Moon in your 11th House of Groups is opposite the Sun in your 5th House of Creativity, enabling you to have more fun now when you actively pursue your own self-interests. Concentrate on expressing yourself instead of worrying about others.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You know what you must do today in order to come through for those who depend on you. You can focus your mind on whatever must happen to make your dreams come true. Tread lightly; if you get overly cocky, your current little scheme could backfire and leave you with a messy situation. Your best contribution now is your honest commitment to be as present as possible when interacting with others.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may enjoy imagining how you will live in the future, but your daydreaming might be distracting to others. However, today’s balancing Libra Full Moon in your 9th House of Adventure reminds you to keep a foot in the future while stabilizing the other one in the here and now. Widening your perspective enables you to maintain your unflagging vision for a better tomorrow while avoiding unrealistic idealism in the process.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Your current dilemma is striking a workable balance between simplicity and complexity. You may desire the creature comforts of being in a relationship, but you might not want to pay the emotional price. To avoid complications later on, consider the consequences of your unrestrained ambitions. Be smart and set aside some personal desires in the name of the higher cause of love.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for April 15 – 17

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

Brace Yourself

April 15 – 17

Friday is the quiet before the storm. The Moon in analytical Virgo is concerned with being neat, clean and orderly. No emotional messes or personal excesses are welcome in this productive and polite environment. Still, a lunar opposition to self-conscious Venus could produce a delicate moment or two in the afternoon. Is she or he flirting or is this really all about business? It may be tricky to read the signals you’re getting or even to assess your own feelings. Your best strategy is to enjoy the moment without making too much of it.

Saturday finds the Moon in Libra, the relationship sign that’s made for connecting with others. However, the Moon runs a gauntlet of stressful planetary aspects with edgy Uranus, punishing Pluto, aggressive Mars and restrictive Saturn that makes this a less than mellow day. Trying to accommodate and meet others halfway is Libra’s job, but even an expert peacemaker might have difficulty maintaining a cool attitude in this overheated environment.

Engaging in vigorous physical activities is an ideal way to burn off this intense energy, yet it’s best not to try anything dangerous under these risky conditions. Imbalance in relationships is also possible as one person is discontent, angry or upset and the other does everything she or he can to calm the situation. It may be wiser to get out of the line of fire if it’s obvious that emotions have overcome reason.

Sunday’s Libra Full Moon should bring issues to a head, hopefully clearing the air and making room for a fresh start.

Daily Horoscopes for April 10

General Daily Horoscope

The emotionally receptive Moon in watery Cancer conflicts with energetically assertive Mars in fiery Aries today, making it tough to be kind to others if our actions don’t also further our individual goals. We want to feel connected to the supportive matrix of our family, yet we may react too quickly out of fear when the Moon opposes powerful Pluto and squares authoritative Saturn. However, we can all benefit from learning a bit about patience.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Don’t mistakenly think that you cannot be strong and capable if you are also vulnerable enough to feel someone else’s pain. You may incorrectly believe that you have to find a solution right away, while actually avoiding the problem, itself. An alternate approach, however, is to open your heart and experience the dilemma without trying to fix it. Today, the smartest thing you can do is to listen closely and acknowledge another person’s feelings.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

A close friend might bug you so much today that it feels as if he or she is picking a fight with you. But don’t let a minor issue grow so important that it initiates an unnecessary argument and morphs into the turning point of your day. If you can successfully sidestep a confrontation now, you should be able to reap the fruits of your restraint when they ripen.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

It’s tricky for you to balance a very basic need for mental stimulation with today’s intense desire to just chill out. It’s not that your interest to be with others disappears now; it’s simply that you don’t want as many distractions as usual. If you are feeling overextended in any way, take time to recharge your batteries so you are up to the challenges of tomorrow.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s as if an old friend has come for a visit now that the Moon has returned to your sign. She reminds you of the raw power of your emotions, yet also how isolated you can feel when you don’t express them. It may be difficult to communicate your experiences today, for your responsibilities may prevent you from sinking into a more emotional zone. Remember, you can remain silent while still actively staying in touch with your inner world.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You may feel hurt by someone you like today, making it hard to be honest. It’s difficult to respond to what’s happening, for you really don’t want to show your weakness. Nevertheless, your vulnerability can indicate your true strength as it takes extra courage now to act on your gut instincts, even if they seem to be out of step with the circumstances of your life.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Being responsive today to someone you work with can prove to be an enriching experience, but you’ll need to get over your insecurity about the possibility of being rejected. Sharing your feelings with your friends and associates can set you up for disappointment if others don’t react as expected. Nevertheless, you’ll never know what might have happened if you don’t take the risk. Be willing to go to the edge without going over it.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You might attempt to hide from the public eye today, yet you are needed by others in a way that could focus the attention directly on you. Oddly enough, it’s not that you want to remain unseen; it’s just that you feel awkward in the spotlight. Balance is one of your recurring issues; seek a comfortable place between being a star and remaining a complete unknown.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You are able to see your distant goals quite clearly, but still may be at a temporary loss as to how you can safely reach your destination. Unfortunately, it seems as if there are no direct routes that lead to where you want to go now. Fortunately, you can draw on a very deep well of persistence. Your non-judgmental acceptance of those you love, combined with your willingness to wait for the right moment, will likely clear the way for your success.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Although it’s always essential that you show up at work and do your job well, you are not completely satisfied with this option now. You want your creativity to overflow with passion. You hope to amaze others with what you can do. However, turning down the volume on your self-expression makes more sense today. It’s better to sustain your productivity throughout the day than to create a flash of excitement by pulling a rabbit out of a hat and then declaring that you’re done.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may be confronted with unclear messages now, with others saying one thing and doing another. Thankfully, you’re encouraged by the loving support you are receiving, yet it feels as if something still isn’t quite right. The unspoken judgment is that you’re not doing enough, even if you have no idea of what else you could do. Don’t let self-doubt creep into your life; motivate yourself by focusing on the positive feedback you are given today, instead.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You are highly sensitive to what your closest friends want today, enabling you to take on tasks before they are even assigned to you. Unfortunately, you could also harbor resentment toward anyone who isn’t willing to give you straightforward direction. You might not mind the extra work, but feel frustrated about the lack of acknowledgment and appreciation. But, instead of keeping your feelings quiet, talk to someone who is involved before your unhappiness gets the best of you.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may feel more alive today, rejuvenated by the tidal Cancer Moon as she refreshes your pools of emotion. If you are trying to recover from a recent schedule overload, establish new boundaries while you still can. You won’t have to give up any power, nor must you defend your right to remain silent. Quietly basking in the delicious healing waters of your own compassion is sufficient for now.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/8

General Daily Horoscope

The cosmic weather is relatively calm today with no significant planetary aspects, giving us a chance to integrate recent experiences and to contemplate what’s ahead. Still, the restless Gemini Moon remains quite active all day as she harmonizes with Saturn, Jupiter, the Sun and Mercury. Thankfully, our desire for mental stimulation and our drive to keep pushing ahead needn’t destabilize our lives. Communication is the key to maintaining balance.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may be tiring of the current hectic pace, this may not be the best day to get some rest. Slowing down sounds like a good idea now, but reality could still have a surprise or two in store for you today. Instead of attempting to avoid unexpected interactions or to minimize unscheduled events, embrace the interruptions because they can ultimately turn a boring day into an exciting one.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may be expected to give a lot of yourself today without receiving much in return. Even if you derive personal satisfaction from your service to others, the day still could take its toll. You may feel that you aren’t making much progress now, as if the tides are carrying you backward, but this is just a temporary effect of Mercury retrograde. Fortunately, you know something about patience. Don’t give up; your persistence will be rewarded soon enough.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may feel a bit frazzled now that the Moon is in your sign, simply because you know something that others don’t and you cannot say a word about it yet. Maybe you made a promise to keep quiet or perhaps you just know that the current timing isn’t quite right. For now, stick to your decision about what you will share and what you won’t. Don’t worry; everything is in the process of change, anyhow.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have more data at your fingertips than others realize, but you don’t have to tell everyone everything that you know. Luckily, your current knowledge may be sufficient to answer a question, yet you still might be tempted to push your luck and try to uncover more. Instead of struggling on your own, be brave and ask for help if you need it.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

There really isn’t any need to worry about what you must do today, for you are best off just being spontaneous. Although you can quickly become distracted by your friends, forget about entertaining everyone else for now. For once, just follow the course of least resistance, and let the magic of the day take you wherever it does.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Many of your friends and associates are looking to you for guidance during these intense times, even if you aren’t interested in accepting a leadership role today. It’s not that you are incapable of being a good manager; it’s just that you might grow bored of trying to fulfill your obligations before the day is over. For a change of pace, cut yourself some slack and do something special just for you. Honestly, you can always pick up the pieces tomorrow.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may wonder if something is wrong with you today because the weekend is not even here yet and you’re already planning for the next one. This might sound like a smart idea, but it makes it rather challenging to fully enjoy what is happening right under your nose. Reduce the pressure by acknowledging that there are many different ways to have fun. Relax and take time to smell the flowers.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

A thoroughly enjoyable encounter could morph into a romance or a long-lasting friendship as the flirty Gemini Moon aspects sweet Venus and talkative Mercury. But you must be willing to stand up and play your part in order to see where the relationship goes. If you don’t make a concerted effort to connect with others in a deeper way when you’re given the opportunity, then you’ll never know where it might have taken you.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

This may be a near perfect day if you’re a fan of sports competition. It doesn’t matter whether you are watching sports on television or actually participating in the games, yourself. However, if your interests are drawn somewhere else now, try to enjoy yourself thoroughly, whatever you choose to do. Keep in mind that you’ll have more fun now if you are with new friends doing something you’ve never done before.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

It could be very grounding today to acknowledge a family tradition or a meaningful ritual from the past. You might impulsively decide to visit your parents or take a quick trip to see your kids. No matter what you plan, do things a little differently. You will feel more energetic if you don’t do the same old routine again; instead, break up the drudgery with something that’s a lot more fun.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may be worried that the weekend will come and go before you can finish what’s already on your plate. Ignoring your ambitious plans by slipping into denial won’t help you avoid what’s ahead. However, it’s probably more important to think about the present moment, instead of continually focusing your attention on the future. Scaling back your expectations now could give you extra time to relax and unwind.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Today’s Gemini Moon complicates your life, yet it could also make your day more interesting. Even if you are sure about what you want, you might not know exactly how to get it. It’s even harder now because your head says one thing while your heart tugs in another direction. Ultimately, you’ll be happier if you let your conscience be your guide and do what feels right.

This aspect can drive deep passions to the surface. Unfortunately, the result of such eruptions is often negative, because those on the receiving end do not know how to handle unexpected emotional outbursts.

Mars Conjunct Uranus
The need for personal freedom may be very strong. Many will show a pronounced lack of patience. Look internally for inspiration and motivation.

Saturn In Libra
Intimacy may be more of a chore than a pleasure. Some will find their progress towards strengthening intimate bonds and attaining goals muted by feelings of inadequacy.

Iconoclasm, independence and self-sufficiency are likely to be major themes during this period. Traditional values will be challenged. Those with a pioneering spirit will flourish.

Gentleness, creativity, and the pursuit of spiritual truth are strong influences at this time. Many may find mysticism and unorthodox religions very attractive.

Strong economic gains can be made during this period. Pluto in Capricorn favors those who are able to make logical decisions and devise pragmatic solutions to the challenges before them.

Daily Horoscopes for 3/29

General Daily Horoscope

The eccentric Aquarius Moon forms a supportive sextile with outgoing Jupiter in Aries, while three additional planets in fiery Aries encourage spontaneity and amplify the potential for excitement further. Meanwhile, the Moon’s harmonious trine to responsible Saturn helps us balance our enthusiasm, reducing the pressure from yesterday’s opposition between indulgent Jupiter and austere Saturn. It should be easier now to determine the right approach.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It would be wise today to reexamine the most important relationships in your life. Although you may think that all is well, chances are you’re looking at life through a Pollyanna filter. Instead of relying on your overconfident nature now, stop and check in with those most significant to you. Ask your friends and partners how they’re doing and then listen carefully to what they tell you. You might be surprised by what you hear, but you can make important improvements if you take what you learn to heart.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You may feel restricted today by too many tasks to complete for work. You could be ready to take a foolish chance just because you want to shake things up a bit. Fortunately, you’re very capable of moderating your emotional expression if you have a specific goal in mind. If you give yourself permission to fantasize about your freedom, you should be able to continue on the same path until your current restlessness settles down.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You may be contemplating taking a different direction in your life these days. Whether or not your current thinking endures, right now you’re ready to jump in and learn everything you can about something new. Fortunately, you’re capable of absorbing the basics of a difficult discipline or technical skill quite quickly and are happy to show others how clever you are. But appearing smart isn’t enough, so consider how to take your brilliant ideas and transform them into something that’s actually real.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may be feeling let down or regretful today and it can be challenging to settle your thoughts. There’s too much going on in your mind, making it hard to filter out the extraneous noise. Don’t be overly self-judgmental; it’s natural to be fearful when so much is unknown about your future. The best thing you can do now is to pay attention to your heart’s desire while you continue processing everything that’s happening.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

People around you may be acting strangely today as the quirky Aquarius Moon visits your 7th House of Others. But some of the eccentric behavior that you observe might be more reflective of your desire to do something exciting, even if you must stay focused on your current job. Claim your power by telling others what you want, instead of projecting your need for independence and unconventionality onto them.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It may be socially awkward for you to share your strong feelings for someone today. But you could end up regretting your actions if you let fear prevent you from expressing what’s in your heart. You are being pulled in two directions now and no matter what you do, you might wish you took the other course. Thankfully, just knowing that there is no single correct path should help you be less self-judgmental. Trust your instincts to tell you when the time is right.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You would like to believe that all is well and that everyone is doing okay. Unfortunately, this may not be the entire story today as negativity from a recent interaction leaks over into current events. As peace-loving as you may be, it now falls on you to stir up a bit of trouble. Don’t worry about what others think. It’s your job now to play the role of the heavyweight and talk about those subjects that everyone else is avoiding.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You may feel pretty optimistic about your role in the world right now. Although your place may not seem to be overly important in the big scheme of things, you can see the positive impact that you have on a day-to-day basis. Remember, success comes in many shapes and sizes. Fame and fortune are on one end of the spectrum while personal meaning and spiritual growth are on the other. Don’t judge yourself by what others think you should do; instead, pick your own path and follow your heart.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter is journeying through your 5th House of Spontaneity, encouraging you to have more fun playing with your friends. However, its current opposition to stern Saturn could be putting the brakes on your party mobile. Luckily, you can get ahead of the curve by doing more long-term planning. You’ll be able to return to pursuing pleasure later, but now it’s time to get serious about your future.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Family matters may be taking up more of your time than planned, but the opportunities for growth and happiness make it difficult for you to remain uninvolved. Nevertheless, professional responsibilities are calling, and you cannot say no. Being busy in your personal life doesn’t make following your career path any easier. Avoid making a final decision until the current distractions subside.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Weird ideas are exploding in your brain and it’s challenging to figure out what to do today. You want to take each idea and run with it, but you cannot possibly finish what you initiate. Be careful, for you could start enough projects to keep you busy for a very long time. However, don’t stress if you still have lots of loose ends by the end of the day. It will be easy enough to clean up everything over the next few weeks during Mercury’s retrograde.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You may be feeling some fiscal pressure and there doesn’t seem to be a quick way out of your current predicament. But it’s not just about increasing your income or cutting down on your expenses. Somehow, the entire global financial condition has you spooked and it could take a complete overhaul of your lifestyle before you become fully comfortable again. Any positive changes, however small, you make now will help; just remember everything doesn’t have to happen overnight.

Daily Horoscopes for 2/19

General Daily Horoscope

The Sun’s first full day in sensitive Pisces can heighten our extrasensory perception, and the Sun’s annual conjunction with healer Chiron is exact today, increasing our intuitive awareness of other people’s pain. Although the discriminating Virgo Moon usually helps us focus our attention on what’s most useful, she now has an agenda of her own as she forms six otherworldly septiles that put us in touch with otherwise elusive spiritual truths.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

You may imagine yourself to be as unrestrained as a soaring eagle today, but your responsibilities don’t leave you enough freedom to actually take a flight of fancy. Even if you think you know the escape route, it’s still complicated to make your first move. This is frustrating because you are usually skilled at starting something new. Don’t judge yourself harshly for not following through on your feelings. For now, doing the best you can is good enough.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You might feel as if satisfaction is a long way off now because your key planet Venus is still squaring somber Saturn today. You may be exhausted from a very intense interaction at work with someone who makes you anxious. However, facing your fears is one way to push beyond the comfortable boundaries. Communication is challenging, yet the potential for transformation can bring you closer to your relationship goals.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your feelings can push and pull you all over the emotional landscape today, making it nearly impossible to know what to do. It’s not that you’re wishy-washy; it’s just hard to make a final decision when staying open to all the possibilities sounds better. One moment you’re eager to cash in your chips and walk away. The next moment you’re working hard trying to figure out how to save everything. An all-or-nothing answer is not acceptable when there is so much middle ground yet to explore.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You may have something very important to learn today if a close friend stands in the way of your progress. Unfortunately, your first impulse may be to turn a minor confrontation into a major fight. But you don’t need to prove that you’re better than anyone else. Instead, shift your attitude so you can minimize your own resistance, show your vulnerability and be more receptive of other people’s feedback.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Everything may seem more complicated than necessary today, yet you cannot simplify your life to reduce your current stress. The complexity arises from your heart desiring something that you just don’t know how to get. Holding firm to your goals now is a smart strategy that should ultimately pay off, but you’ll need to show some flexibility along the way.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You want to get ahead at work, but might not have the patience now that is required to succeed. You may feel frustrated because your job would be much easier without all the needless distractions from your personal life. Unfortunately, your friends and family aren’t as supportive as you wish. Don’t be afraid to set clear boundaries or withdraw from others in order to maintain your integrity.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You may feel stuck today, as if your creativity is temporarily blocked. Your regular routine could fall apart now, making it impossible for you to concentrate on realizing your dreams. However, don’t sell yourself short by thinking that you can’t do the miraculous. You are more capable than you realize, but you must have faith and patience for positive results to manifest.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You must decide if you can keep up social appearances today and still remain true to yourself. But your current choices aren’t as crucial as they seem because they are part of a long-term process that can redefine the structure of your relationships. Your key planets, physical Mars and passionate Pluto, are intensifying your feelings as the boundary between friendship and romantic love is tested. There are no wrong decisions now; just be clear about your overall direction.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Someone might give you a hard time about taking yourself too seriously today. Nevertheless, there is a lot going on now. You don’t like it when others disagree with you for no apparent reason other than spreading ill will, but it may be your own frustrations that are creating the bulk of the current stress. At least make sure that you continue to meet your obligations at home, even if you’re still sorting out how to handle everything else.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may not be very happy if someone close to you wants something from you that you cannot deliver now. Unfortunately, these demands can precipitate a power struggle that won’t likely have a winner because of interpersonal complications. Don’t waste your energy trying to fix an irresolvable situation, instead change the rules of the game. It’s not a competition; if anyone is a loser, then no one wins.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you might want to shake up the status quo today, you won’t be successful unless you acknowledge the current limitations that are part of your life. Fortunately, circumstances won’t remain like this forever, even if you can’t see a path that will take you to your destination. Trying too hard now only pushes your goal further away. Paradoxically, relaxing your grip on the future may be the best way to make sure that you get there on time.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You are tired of learning hard lessons today and may rebel just to stretch your muscles. You are tempted to stir conflict by questioning an authority figure if one appears to be too rigid in his or her approach. Examine your own role in fomenting the current tension. When you stop projecting your internal battles onto others, relationships will become much easier to manage.

New Moon Report for 2/18 – Sun in Pisces

Sun in Pisces

Friday, February 18, 4:26 pm PST, 7:26 pm EST

The Sun’s entry into Pisces closes out the astrological year with tender hearts and rich imaginations. It is a time to find inspiration in nature, in the arts and in our dreams. A vague feeling of vulnerability can increase doubts about our capacities to deal with the material world, making escapism more appealing. Spiritual retreat or substance abuse are two very different ways to salve the pain of disillusionment. Faith in forces greater than our own provides nourishment for the soul without polluting minds with religious prejudice and moral judgment. Forgiveness is the gift of this tender transit and is freely available to all of us.
