Horoscope: April 7, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



Having made a few decisions yourself, it’s time to find out what others have in mind. The problem is, often their explanations become so long and drawn out they irritate you. While that’s understandable, try to be patient. It’s vital you know their existing plans and future plans.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Ordinarily, the New Moon brings a fresh perspective on existing concerns. However, because the current one takes place in the most reflective part of your chart, it’s less about anything in the world around you and more about certain deeply personal matters. Focusing on these will lead to remarkable insights.

Gemini | May 20 – June 19



Now that your ruler Mercury is in the most reflective and, equally, strategic angle of your chart, you can finally tackle certain persistent issues. While you’ve discussed these at length, you’ve achieved little. That’s because the answers you’re seeking are within. They’re the result of your views or attitude, nothing else.

Cancer | June 20 – July 21



Final as certain arrangements or commitments seem, at the moment nothing can be regarded as truly settled. In fact, within days you’ll be discussing what should go or certain potential improvements. Knowing that, if you want to make changes, even dramatic ones, say so. Nobody will mind in the least.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



There’s your schedule. And then there are habits you don’t notice, and still less, give much thought to. Some once benefitted you but now waste time that could be better employed in other activities. The next task is breaking those habits. This could prove far more challenging than you anticipate.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Out of character as agreeing to offers that come from nowhere may be, you’re urged to do exactly that. With things moving so swiftly, there’s little time for asking questions and none for you to retreat to think things over. Explain you’re learning as you proceed. Others will understand.

Libra | September 22 – October 21



Exciting as the events promised by the Sun’s encounter with Uranus, planet of innovation, might be, they’re bound to be disruptive. Bear this in mind and when things get a bit chaotic, as is likely, you won’t worry. Rather, you’ll view that as an opportunity to explore the new ideas coming your way.

Scorpio | October 22 – November 20



One of your strengths, as a Scorpio, is your intuition. Yet you’re also somewhat stubborn, so much that you’ll sometimes ignore what those feelings tell you about existing plans simply because you regard making changes as weak. It’s not. And the sooner you rethink certain arrangements, the better it will be for everybody.

Sagittarius | November 21 – December 20



Ordinarily, when somebody objects to your plans or ideas, you’ll besiege them with a combination of useful facts and your irresistible Sagittarian charm. At the moment, however, the issues in question are worth investigating. At minimum, you’ll learn something. But you may also avoid problems before they turn into serious difficulties.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 19



As a thorough and reliable Capricorn, little annoys you more than those who change or even cancel plans without notice. This is a particular tendency of the fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Yet judging by the current planetary setup, now it’s you who could be making those last minute changes.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 18



Events demand you justify your views about certain matters to others. While, with your strong convictions, you’d think you’re well prepared to stand up for your beliefs, the situation in question isn’t as straightforward as it seems. Investigate further now. What you learn will be surprising and could alter your thinking.

Pisces | February 19 – March 19



Going back over past issues can be especially aggravating, mostly because those who were behind the problem in question are unlikely to understand what upset you to begin with. However, that’s not important. Rather, your focus must be on a fresh perspective, and being clear you won’t tolerate similar situations in the future.
