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.

Moon Signs In Everyday Life

Learn how to make the most of the Moon’s journey through the zodiac

by Emily Trinkaus

Changing signs every two and a quarter days, the Moon is the fastest-moving astrological “planet.” The Moon represents our emotions, and as it travels through the zodiac, our moods follow. We feel best and operate most effectively when we’re cooperating with the energy of the Moon, as indicated by its sign.

Monthly Power Times

Pay special attention to when the Moon is in the same sign as your Sun sign — these few days of each month are your power times! The tides are flowing in your direction, so you’ll feel more confident and energized, and people are more likely to respond to you positively. So, if you’re planning to invite someone special out on a date, ask for a raise, go on a job interview, or any other task requiring self-assertion and risk-taking, these are the days to go for it.

On the flip side, when the Moon is in the sign opposite to your Sun sign, keep a low profile. (If you’re not sure which sign is opposite, just count six signs away from yours.) Catch up on rest, and do for others rather than expecting things to go your way. Plan accordingly — this is not the time to push it and try to get ahead.

Follow the Signs

Discover below how to make the most of the Moon’s visit to each sign of the zodiac. .

Aries Moon

Get physical! The first sign of the zodiac calls for action and movement. Go for a run or hike, dance, work out at the gym or find some other way to let off steam. Tempers can rise under this fiery Moon, so find healthy outlets for expression — physical and/or creative. This Moon can light a fire under you to start putting your ideas into action, so take a risk in the direction of your desires.

Taurus Moon
Slow down and take time to nurture your body and the planet. This sensual and earthy sign invites you to appreciate the physical world and the realm of the senses. Walk through the woods, work in the garden, get a massage or facial, and play soothing music. This tends to be a mellow, restful and reflective Moon — a time to practice simply being.
Gemini Moon
Call your friends, catch up on emails and chat with the neighbors while the Moon visits the airy sign of the Messenger. Your mind is especially active, even hyper-active, so give it something to chew on. This is an ideal time for taking (or teaching) a class, learning something new and exploring multiple perspectives. Follow your curiosity and keep an open mind.

Cancer Moon
Curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of tea during this homebody Moon. As a sensitive water sign, the Crab calls for tuning into your inner world. When you give yourself permission to feel and express your emotions, you’re more likely to avoid the down side of this Moon — crabbiness. Cook a nourishing meal, perhaps inviting a close friend or family member for dinner.

Leo Moon
This fiery Moon wants to play and celebrate. Let your inner child take the lead and do something spontaneous that serves no purpose beyond having fun. The Lion rules the heart, inspiring romance and passion — an ideal time for getting decked out in your most glamorous attire and hitting the town. Creative energy abounds — express yourself!

Virgo Moon

Attend to the nitty gritty details of daily life when the Moon enters the sign of service. Catching up on household chores, organizing the closet, balancing your checkbook — these mundane tasks might sound like a bore but you feel oh so much better when you stop procrastinating and get the job done. People tend to be more critical and fault-finding than usual, so pay attention to the little things.

Libra Moon
The Moon in the sign of the Scales brings attention to what’s out of balance, inviting you to create more harmony in your relationships, environment and inner world. Libra is ruled by Venus, the goddess of love, beauty and the arts. Enhance your appearance with a new hair style or clothes, and plan to socialize. Cultural events and creative activities are especially recommended.

Scorpio Moon
Invite your inner witch or wizard to come out of hiding during this magical Moon, a prime time for casting spells and performing rituals. You’re more tuned into both the invisible realm and the dark side now — including shadowy emotions that require an outlet. Share your deepest feelings with someone you trust. This is not a time to party hearty with the crowds — plan an intimate date instead.

Sagittarius Moon
When the Moon visits the sign of the Archer, you’re ready for adventure, exploration and expansion. These days are perfect for travel — if you can’t take a trip in the physical world, broaden your intellectual and spiritual horizons by attending a lecture or workshop. Restlessness is common, as your mental arrows shoot out in multiple directions — plan for lots of activity, movement and socializing.

Capricorn Moon
Now is the optimal time to accomplish any ambitious project requiring hard work, perseverance and pragmatism. For best results, mimic the Mountain Goat — move slowly, cautiously and deliberately as you reach for the top. Don’t let the heaviness and somber tone of this Moon get you down — if you stay focused on your plans and goals, you feel energized and productive.
Aquarius Moon
You’re in the mood for networking, connecting with friends and all group activities when the Moon calls on community-minded Aquarius. Your intuition is heightened, inviting flashes of insight that help you to see your life from a higher perspective. If you’re feeling stuck, this revolutionary Moon wants to liberate you from old ways of thinking and inspire you to make changes that enhance your sense of freedom.

Pisces Moon
During this sensitive and squishy Moon, retreat, rest and reflection are recommended. Your dreams are more active than usual, so pay attention — they may have important information for you. The sign of the Fish activates your imagination and fantasies, offering an ideal opportunity for creative expression, especially music, dance, painting and poetry.

General Daily Horoscopes for 4/13

General Daily Horoscope

It’s difficult to escape the possible complications that stem from Mercury’s continuing retrograde phase which lasts until April 23. However, message mix-ups and schedule snafus are more likely if we’re overextended. Unfortunately, five planets, including Mercury, are in impulsive Aries, encouraging us to take on too much. Thankfully, an expressive Leo Moon harmoniously trines three of these planets, enabling us to accomplish more than we expect.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It feels as if you’re on an emotional seesaw because you have been up and down so often recently that it’s difficult to see what’s happening from a wider perspective. But your outlook is sunny and upbeat, even if there’s nothing special happening today. Make use of your positive attitude now by jumping in and tackling problems while they don’t seem so overwhelming.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You really don’t have to show off by demonstrating how together you are today, for the very act of drawing attention to your security exposes your lack of it. While it’s possible that your self-confidence has been vacillating lately, it’s more important now to do something that makes you feel good, instead of trying to gain approval from others. Concentrate your attention on your rich inner world instead of placing undue significance on outside influences.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You should take extra precautions today because your life may be a whirlwind of activity. Although you typically like thrills and surprises, you could be caught off guard if you lack enough confidence now. Don’t be distracted by every interesting thing that goes flying by. Maintain a soft focus, instead, since this allows you to stay balanced while you’re still in motion.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

It’s stressful today trying to balance your time between work demands and domestic matters. But this current dilemma brings up a deeper issue about your fears of not being able to do it all. Although you might slide by now if you demonstrate how serious you are about doing a good job at home and on the job, this won’t be helpful in the long run. The ultimate solution may require you to face your insecurities by talking about them with someone you trust.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

The Moon’s current visit to your sign is emotionally intense, as your moods swing wildly like a pendulum out of control. However, you can continue to make steady progress by observing your feelings without necessarily saying anything about them at all. It isn’t always easy to let the wisdom of your body react naturally, without an audience. Keep your feelings to yourself until things settle down in a day or two.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

It may seem as if others are hiding important information from you, but you don’t know what it is so there isn’t any simple way to investigate without appearing to be paranoid. However, the more you ignore your current uneasiness, the louder it grows. Watch out, for you could end up creating a problem that was never there. Be totally upfront today; admitting that you are worried can help lessen your insecurities right away.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your interest in creating a relationship with a workmate may be piqued by a surprising conversation today. This probably isn’t just a passing fancy; it’s more likely the seed of an important journey ahead. In the meantime, plan something special for yourself that’s not about work or about taking care of someone else. Think bigger than usual and act boldly. Taking a risk can prove to be more fun than you ever imagined.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Managing details at work is a wise thing to do now that the Moon is in your 10th House of Career. Working quietly behind the scenes often has its benefits, yet today you actually need to feel appreciated. Unfortunately, trying to win approval from your superiors could end up being a waste of your valuable time. Your safest path to being noticed is simply doing your job to the best of your ability.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You don’t need to withhold your enthusiasm today because your confidence will have a positive effect on your co-workers. At first, they might think that you’re filled with hot air. But you’re not promising more than you can deliver and your peers will become true believers when they see what you can do. Remember, your ultimate talent isn’t in telling others what to do; it’s the gift of joyfully leading by example.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You may feel very close to someone special today without being physical at all — intimacy comes in many flavors. Now, with the Moon illuminating your 8th House of Deep Sharing, consider how to enhance an interaction with a friend or family member by opening your heart. Simply expressing your fears with someone you trust will create a doorway to a more meaningful relationship.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

The self-expressive Leo Moon is visiting your 7th House of Partners today, cajoling you to reveal yourself through acts of generosity. But you still need to set clear boundaries by defining your limits or your magnanimous behavior could pull you overboard. Remember, you grow less believable when you overstate your case, so be quiet once you’ve made your point.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s helpful to be able to count on something real today. Thankfully, the Moon’s visit to your 6th House of Habits encourages you to lean on your familiar routine as a strong foundation. Regardless of how spaced-out or confused you might be feeling, it’s crucial to go through the motions of whatever you do on a daily basis. However, this is not about playing your part mechanically or detaching yourself from your emotions; it’s about reestablishing the meaning in your everyday life, instead.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

It’s easy for you to get a lot done today because the Moon in your 5th House of Self-Expression harmonizes with your key planet Mars. You may be tempted to set aside work for a while in order to pursue pleasure, but it’s probably not a good idea to trade your promises for immediate gratification. Don’t try to shift the blame for your dilemma to anyone else. Just consider the consequences and do whatever makes the most sense in the long run.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Although you may not be able to avoid the weight of responsibility today, you are likely to be more concerned now with expressing your feelings than you are with doing your current job. Your romantic heart is in direct conflict with your practical head, distracting you from accomplishing the work at hand. Even if you feel driven, there’s no need to take action right away. Allow your emotional stress to reach its crescendo and then subside before swinging into action.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Your workmates or friends can turn this into quite a busy day, and that’s just how you like it. You are in top form and are able to show off your charm and wit as you flit from one activity to another. But strong desires are brewing just under the surface now, so don’t bother wasting your energy on trivial matters. Keep something in reserve for when you will need it over the next few days.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

Normally, you can be so sensitive to other people’s emotions that it’s often tough for you to take action. However, you’re more likely now to respond immediately to a difficult situation at work than to adopt a wait-and-see approach. But don’t overcompensate by being wildly impulsive; too much confidence leads to recklessness, which might create new problems faster than you can solve the old ones.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You appear to be an open book today because the demonstrative Leo Moon is lighting up your 1st House of Personality. Although others may not recognize it, you’re in touch with deeply rooted emotions that haven’t reached the surface yet. Your thoughts carry even more weight because they are unspoken. After you share what’s on your mind, the energy dissipates quickly. In the meantime, observe how others judge you without necessarily saying more than you must.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

You don’t want everyone to know your likes and dislikes, encouraging you to keep your preferences quiet. You can quickly rationalize hiding your desires by expressing your unwillingness to hurt someone else’s feelings. However, it’s more complicated than that today, for remaining silent about what you want contributes to the problem, not the solution. Find a way to talk about what you’re feeling with enough sensitivity that you don’t offend anyone else.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You want to show your affection for your friends and associates, but you prefer to do it in an emotionally detached manner. This becomes more difficult once you start sharing your feelings because others are likely to be more responsive now than you ever anticipated. You will probably need to confront your own ambiguity, especially if someone reacts with great intensity. Although you’re resistant at first, you’ll feel better once everything is out in the open.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

You could surprise yourself today with the speed of your reaction to an event that is outside of your control. You say that you want to go with the flow, yet still have a hard time being flexible enough now with the Moon in fixed sign Leo. Surprisingly, most things should turn out okay if you are willing to step into this unknown territory, face the current issues one at a time and stay open to altering your overall course of action.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You may be enthralled by meeting your match as someone with lots of big ideas talks your head off today. You might wish that you could escape, but won’t likely try very hard. No matter what you do, ungrounded philosophical conversations seem to follow you wherever you go. Thankfully, you can learn something very valuable from your interactions with others. Even if you feel overwhelmed with too many details, new information can widen your horizons in a way that you truly enjoy.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

Nothing is simple now; although you want to stick to the agenda today, you don’t necessarily feel like following all the meandering ins and outs of a complex conversation. Uncharacteristically, you might prefer to jump around from topic to topic, or perhaps, you just delve within your daydreams, where no one else can find you. Don’t judge others too harshly now. Remember, the tables are turned and this time you may be the one who’s seeking the fun and resisting the work.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although you appear to be extremely flexible today, chances are good that your mind is made up and facts won’t likely be a catalyst for change. Unfortunately, this rigidity can get you into deep trouble now. You gain nothing by letting yourself be governed by suppressed fears. Talking about your current apprehension with a close friend or partner is the smartest way to dissipate the negative energy before it creates real problems.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You want to impress everyone with how hard you work today, but you could struggle as you try to walk your talk. Unfortunately, your immediate needs may be in direct conflict with your distant goals, making it tough to know what to do next. This is a great time to quiet your mind and listen to your

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.

Weekend Lunar Love Horoscope for 4/8 – 4/10

Weekend Love: Lunar Love

by Jeff Jawer

Fun, First and Foremost

April 8 – 10

Friday is easy and breezy, a chatty time that’s perfect for freelancing and flirting. The Moon is in bouncy Gemini where we want to do more than one thing at a time. Prepare for plans to change quickly as we desire diversity and crave variety in our social lives. The playful spirit starts early with lunar connections to magnetic Venus, optimistic Jupiter, the confident Sun and talkative Mercury, spicing the day with curiosity and coquettish behavior. We tend to take things lightly with the Moon in this airy sign, preferring light chats to serious conversations.

If there are important topics to discuss, it’s better to wait until Saturday when the Moon enters emotionally aware Cancer. Normally a Cancer Moon provides an atmosphere that is reflective and comfortable for addressing complex feelings. Yet a stressful lunar square (90-degree angle of tension) to electrifying Uranus charges up Saturday evening with unpredictability and uncertainty. Insecurities can suddenly surface to upset peace and alter plans. It’s best not to over-react to irrational behavior since this is a highly charged force that can’t be stopped; it simply needs to be expressed and then allowed to blow over. Tough lunar aspects continue to create waves throughout the rest of the weekend.

Patience and a willingness to work through difficult issues can make Sunday a productive time for partnerships. However, it’s tempting to allow discontent to undermine trust. A solid foundation needs to be in place before some of these matters can be handled in a constructive manner.

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.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/6

General Daily Horoscope

Today’s determined Taurus Moon gives us the single-mindedness needed to accomplish our goals. However, the Moon’s harsh aspects with Uranus, Mars and Pluto indicate that we will meet major challenges along the way. Still, the two largest objects in our solar system — the Sun and Jupiter — conjoin to expand our vision and show us the brighter side of life. It’s up to each of us to balance unrestrained optimism with the practicalities of the day.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

The super-active Aries energy is over the top today and exuberant Jupiter’s conjunction with the Sun in your sign gives you something to celebrate. Although it’s the middle of the workweek, you might not be able to concentrate on your job responsibilities. You would rather spend your time lost in creative self-expression than finishing up what should have been done yesterday. As usual, your key to happiness depends on finding a middle ground between feeling free and meeting your obligations.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

It’s difficult for you to be satisfied with what you currently have because your imagination is so active that you see unlimited possibilities everywhere you turn. What makes this harder to manage today is that you cannot necessarily distinguish between the way things are and how they could be. Your fantasies are important now as long as you don’t let them get the upper hand. Dream about the future, but remember that you must live in the present.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Although it’s healthy to think your friends are worthy of great things, it’s also important to be realistic. You may be expecting too much from social interactions in general today, which could lead to later disappointment. Expressing your hopes gives others a sense of what motivates you these days. But don’t expect anyone else to share your enthusiasm for your pet projects. If something rocks your world, go for it. Don’t wait for anyone else to champion your cause.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

The good news you receive on the job today may not be totally unexpected, but it still can be quite exciting, nonetheless. Naturally, you will have hard work to do as you follow up on your end of the deal, but the most demanding tasks may already be done. Trust your hunches; you know what’s coming next. Just don’t get lazy until everything is really finished.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

It’s hard not to get excited today about some upcoming event or getaway. However, if you are planning to travel, don’t let your enthusiasm get the best of you. It’s wonderful to be jazzed about going somewhere, but grandiose thinking could turn a realistic idea into a journey of the imagination. If you truly want to go on a meaningful adventure, avoid the temptations of bigger, better and more.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Although you might feel safer when navigating solo in rational realms, impulsive thoughts could quickly pull you into deeper emotional waters today. But instead of feeling vulnerable, your reaction now is to swing into action and do something about your current situation. Don’t try to oversimplify things too quickly, for there’s much for you to learn while exploring the exquisite complexities of relationships.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

Your interactions with others today can open a new window of opportunity. You may want to question the significance of this sudden turn of events, but logical analysis won’t necessarily tell you what you need to know now. Stay open to your current experience without trying to classify it. Even if your first impulse is to retreat, save your final judgment until the excitement of the moment has worn off.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Forget about your old habits and assumptions that have been holding you back. There’s no need to process the same things you’ve been working on for such a long time. It’s time to look ahead today, set a new course and begin doing exactly what will get you to your chosen destination. But don’t try to do too much all at once. For now, it’s all about big visions and little steps.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Your key planet Jupiter aligns with the Sun today in an annual event that indicates even more expansion and growth for you Archers. However, this year the conjunction activates your 5th House of Spontaneity, which is already crowded from an overload of planetary visitors. The bottom line is that your heightened sense of urgency about nearly everything in your life can provoke you to act without thinking about the consequences. Be smart and keep your eyes on the distant horizon.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

There are significant rumblings that are rattling your inner world now. Fortunately, you are being given glimpses of how your life could be if you redirect some of your career ambitions toward your personal life. Although this may be as straightforward as starting a home remodeling project, it could be a more subtle reminder that emotional growth is just as important to your overall happiness as professional success.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Although this could be a very upbeat day, you might need to recognize the fact that you have too much information flooding your brain now. On a practical level, it’s crazy just trying to keep up with everything that’s going on. But the deeper lesson today is that more data doesn’t necessary mean more knowledge. Instead of accumulating unnecessary facts, apply what you already know and see what happens.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

There is a direct relationship today between feeling confident about yourself and wanting to buy something that reminds you of these good times. However, you would be wise to keep your credit cards in your wallet now because the excessive Sun-Jupiter conjunction in your 2nd House of Money could tempt you to spend more than you have on something you don’t really need. Remember, self-esteem is not about material possessions; it’s really about what’s in your heart.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/5

General Daily Horoscope

The practical Taurus Moon steadies our desires by encouraging us to want things within reach. The Moon forms a cooperative sextile with sensual Venus, emphasizing the pleasure that can be ours. Although we should be satisfied with what we have, we still may crave more as the Sun moves toward its annual conjunction with indulgent Jupiter tomorrow. Even the stability of the Taurus Moon may not be enough to counteract five planets in speedy Aries.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Although you may feel a bit lazy now, you’re still the one who quickly swings into action before considering the consequences. Often you can get away with overstepping your bounds, but your words have more impact on your friends and associates than you expect today. Exaggerating the facts or overselling your position won’t help you convince others that your idea is a solid one. Since you cannot avoid the truth for long, you might as well keep it real from the very beginning.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

Your need for simplicity is a prime motivator now that the Moon has returned to your sign. You may be able to positively impact a complex situation by changing only a very few basic variables. Don’t try to pass yourself off as a master of details and nuance. Even if you wish that life wasn’t so complicated, focus on the big picture and let the rest fall into place on its own.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You are often able to safely get away with talking about nearly anything that pops into your mind. Now, however, even the simplest comment can turn into a major disagreement. Almost everything you say today seems to be misunderstood or blown out of proportion. Avoid the temptation to prove everyone wrong; concentrate on cooperating with others rather than competing with them.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You are not looking for trouble today, yet it could find you when you least expect it. Although a dynamic situation at work may demand your immediate attention, you might still be highly resistant to any form of change. Fortunately, your friends appreciate your ability to quickly grasp the subtleties of a complex situation. Step up to the plate and take the lead, but remember there’s no reason to make a big deal out of what you’re doing.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You could be caught between your confident head and your tender heart today, although you will most likely end up sweeping your emotions under the rug if you get the chance. You might think that rational thoughts are superior to feelings now, but logic doesn’t have to override your love. Turn the battle for control into a spiritual practice by opening communication channels while seeking balance in your life.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Your ruling planet Mercury is mischievous while in his retrograde phase, and today he tricks you into thinking you are outrageously clever. Nevertheless, you cannot get away with talking your way around an obstacle. You must make a decision whether to move forward on your current path or if you want to consider a variety of alternatives that can change the course of your life. The time is now; make up your mind and follow your heart.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

It’s challenging to find a healthy balance in your relationships now, for you may simultaneously be told yes and no every time you ask a simple question. You are willing to go over the edge in order to establish your limits, but it will still be tough to follow the rules. Being an artist is one way of testing the reaction of the world around you. The situation is not as desperate as you may think, so slow down, take your time and find your way.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

It may be easier for you to just show up and take control of the situation, if needed. Plot your course of action spontaneously today, rather than retreating to analyze a logical next step. Usually, you are the one who measures each and every thought, but now you’re eager to jump before knowing if the pool is even filled with water. In your haste to act, don’t try to detach yourself from your feelings, for they can still teach you quite a bit.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are often so opinionated that you may inadvertently anger someone close to you. You’re ready to share your feelings with everyone today because you believe that it is just simpler to tell the truth. Ironically, you can become a bit too evasive when it comes time for a heartfelt emotional interaction. There’s nothing wrong with your desire to keep your feelings hidden as long as you continue to maintain your integrity.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You might not be able to escape the responsibilities still being placed on you with your key planet Saturn in the picture. You may become frustrated in your struggle to keep up with all that’s happening. However, you can shift the energy by simply agreeing to play according to the current rules of the game. You can regain your power when you acknowledge your limitations and stop taking on more than you can handle.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You may have to manage certain domestic affairs now without anyone outside of your home knowing about your challenges. Although you have valid reasons to keep things to yourself, you’re tempted to share personal information with an intimate friend or business partner. Broach a sensitive topic carefully, but don’t wait until it’s too late. Talk to a trustworthy companion today before the pressure makes a casual conversation impossible.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

A kinder and gentler you is eagerly looking ahead, and yet your tone of voice might be forceful enough to scare someone away — even if you’re trying to bring him or her closer. It isn’t any fun to upset someone you really like, yet you can avoid unpleasant consequences by being thoughtful and considerate in all your interactions. Moderation works in your favor now, so carefully understate whatever you choose to share today.

Daily Horoscopes for 4/4

General Daily Horoscope

We may be lost and found today because we’re on the edge of yet another great planetary shift as nebulous Neptune slips into dreamy Pisces. But this is just a four-month test drive before it returns to this watery sign next year for a 14-year visit. The Sun’s anxious semisquare to Neptune heightens our imaginations even further, pulling us into Fantasyland. However, the Moon’s entry into stable Taurus at 7:45 pm EDT sets us back on the ground.

Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Marching in a brass band may be your idea of fun for a group or family outing today, because you really want to get everyone up and moving. Of course, you wish they would pay attention as you direct the show. But Mars is a close traveling companion with the Moon now, so you definitely need to soften your message. Music can soothe frayed nerves, yet it will probably be more effective to lower the volume so others don’t cover their ears and miss out on what you are saying.

Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You aren’t happy if someone bullies you, but defending yourself is likely a common event with your stubborn nature. Unfortunately, you may not be that comfortable handling this particular situation today. It’s easier to hide your anger than to confront the origin of the problem. Keep in mind that this is not a cowardly act. Your self-restraint is wise now; otherwise you could lose control and create additional damage instead of leaving well enough alone.

Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

You need to stay hyper-vigilant or your current intensity will appear overly aggressive to others. You might even think that you are being extremely logical today, only to have someone tell you that your ideas are impossible to follow. Instead of explaining every little detail, speak softer and say less. You really don’t have to use that many words to get your point across. But you may have to wait until Mercury goes direct before you are completely understood.

Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You might surprise others with your ability to defend your choices today. You may be willing to listen, but once you’ve heard what someone else has to offer, your reaction can be strong and swift. Although you are more aware of others now, be careful about diluting the strength of your message by attempting to cover too much unfamiliar ground all at once.

Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

Putting your best ideas forward is not an alien concept to you, but today there is so much expressive energy floating around that you might not know when to stop. Your confidence tempts you to be so assertive that you can easily offend even your strongest allies. It will be much easier if you remember that dispersive Neptune’s magnifying lens is making everything you say sound louder than it actually is. A laid-back approach will take you further now than an arrogant one.

Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Interactions seem overly dramatic now that you are approaching a real turning point in your relationships. Someone’s negative thoughts boil over and then everything becomes quiet. But don’t mistake less noise for less intensity; it could be just the opposite. Don’t allow yourself to feel so much anger that you say things you don’t really mean. Withdraw your energy until you have regained your strength and composure.

Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

You are such a natural people-pleaser that sometimes you can be overly concerned with making everyone else happy. But you have six planets in your 7th House of Relationships today, indicating that you could blurt out something straight from your intuition without thinking about the impact of your words. Don’t let anyone stand in your way; setting well-defined boundaries can assure healthier relationships in the future.

Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Now that courageous Mars, your traditional planetary ruler, is in your 6th House of Employment, you are able to start new tasks at work. Unfortunately, follow-through will become a problem if you don’t keep up your momentum. Once you slow down, you could lose track of your direction, so ask your friends and associates to either lend a helping hand or simply get out of your way.

Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Even if your current message sounds critical, don’t expect others to share your concerns today. Although your friends know that you can wax philosophical, they still may become less patient as you enthusiastically ramble on about something that’s significant only to you. Your ideas are flowing fast and furious now; it’s hard to tell which ones are worth pursuing, so don’t become too attached to any one thought until you see how it stands up to the test of time.

Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You feel encouraged to wield your power today, but you could easily overdo it. The idea of proving your authority can be so enticing now that you may lose sight of your original intent. Success does not stem from being in control; reaching your goals is dependent on cooperation and innovation, and not hierarchy and tradition. Remember, the whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Positive thinking is a powerful force that can motivate others, but you might take it too far today. Blind optimism won’t be of much use at all. If someone believes that you can’t discern facts from fiction, there’s a good chance that he or she will lose faith in your entire message. Muster support for your plan by being as realistic as possible. Everyone wants to hear good news, but it’s even more important for you to tell the truth.

Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

You’re eager to create a new strategy for increasing your income with forceful Mars now traveling through your 2nd House of Money. You may have a lot of enterprising ideas about how to increase your cash flow, but aren’t sure that any of them will actually work. However, dreamy Neptune’s long-term presence in your sign can sap your confidence, so don’t be afraid to ask for support from others. Relying on good advice from a trustworthy companion helps you determine a sensible course of action.
