Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, April 19, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Only days ago, you were thrilled to be exploring new ideas and discussing long term plans with an individual whose enthusiasm and zest for life equals yours. Since then, however, you have begun to realise they are all talk but short on action. While that’s disappointing, you can still run your thoughts by them.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

When others describe you as having a sentimental streak, you know they are right. However, you find it difficult to admit it and, even more, to discuss your reaction with others. Do your best to overcome those feelings. Certain individuals are unsure whether you care. Tell them. Those words will mean so much.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

One of your greatest assets is your sense of humour. It’s said that laughter is the best medicine, and at the moment that’s not only true, it’s helping certain individuals who are struggling with unexpected difficulties. Support them as best you can, but avoid getting involved yourself.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

While, as an imaginative Cancerian, you have a gift for understanding what’s behind the obstacles slowing plans, and the negative attitude of the individuals involved, finding a solution is quite another matter. Do nothing. This isn’t your problem. Others know what’s needed. They just need to take that first step.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The time has come to take a break. True, only days ago you were feeling enthusiastic about existing arrangements, including those you struggled with, and were inspired to take chances on similar, but new, ideas or ventures. Do exactly that. Check them out first. But the odds are good they’ll work.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

You don’t think of it until you are forced to rethink longstanding arrangements suddenly, as is the case now. But the fact is, others are poorly informed about the time and knowledge necessary to make this happen. Explain what’s needed, then begin taking action.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

This is one of those tricky periods when you have no choice but to raise, and to discuss frankly, certain tricky matters that you have done everything possible to avoid. While in the past that was wise, sudden changes in circumstances are forcing you to rethink, if not reorganise existing arrangements.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Judging by the current planetary setup, the world around you is swirling with events, many exciting. Yet you’re also facing a range of dull practicalities. It’s annoying, but these must come first. Ironically, what you learn from dealing with them will help you make far-reaching decisions with clarity.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

You were born under one of the most inquisitive and enthusiastic signs of the zodiac. When you encounter something inspiring, you’ll respond by exploring various options. Be aware, however, not everybody moves as swiftly. Don’t dismiss the slow response of others as indicating a lack of interest.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

As a Capricorn, an earth sign and being ruled by the practical Saturn, you quite rightly pride yourself on your disciplined approach to life in general and, especially, to the challenging issues you’re currently facing. Still, occasionally, even you need to take a break. Not only has that time come, it’s a necessity.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

For weeks, if not months, you have been talking about rearranging familiar elements of your way of living, your activities out in the world, or both. Now that the Sun has moved to accent such matters, that time has come. Judging by the current planetary setup, events will give this process a timely kickstart.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Even those who have little interest in astrology itself are aware of the influence of the lunar cycle and, especially, the Full Moon. Consequently, you may already sense the intensified feelings before the changes being triggered by Tuesday’s powerful Full Moon. For now, explore your options. Decisions can, and should, wait.

Saturday

While, by and large, you’ve an instinctive understanding of the importance of patience, this birthday is about changes. While some will fit in almost magically, others will seem nothing more than a disruption. Ironically, these could prove most rewarding. Explore everything. You won’t regret it.

Sunday

It’s time to consider not only changes, but potentially powerful breakthroughs. Not only will your efforts be rewarding, the good news is, many of these changes are beginning to take place, and you need only go with the flow. Once you’ve decided to take that approach, the rest will be surprisingly easy.

Monday

Admittedly, certain arrangements are out of date. Yet you have a sentimental attachment to them, mostly because you learnt so much and encountered such interesting people in the process of organising them. Don’t worry. The individuals in question can remain part of your life.
