Horoscope: April 3, 2017
Your stars today
Aries | March 20 – April 18
Initially, your priority was doing things as you’d planned. You had a particular vision and that wasn’t negotiable. Since then you’ve realised others’ ideas and suggestions could actually be improvements. At least explore these. What you learn won’t just be informative. The resulting insights could revolutionise your thinking.
Taurus | April 19 – May 19
Don’t be surprised if, unexpectedly, certain once tricky situations suddenly fall into place. True, things may not have worked out as you hoped or expected. Still, talk things over and you’ll soon realise that what once seemed ideal isn’t and that, in fact, the most recent version of plans is better.
Gemini | May 20 – June 20
Nobody enjoys a lively discussion about new ideas, intriguing people and places to go more than you, as a Gemini. Beware, however, that if you show too much interest in these, others will assume you’re eager to get involved. This is especially important because once you have, disentangling yourself could be tricky.
Cancer | June 21 – July 21
After two weeks of pressure, both to explore your options and, even more, to make decisions, you need a break. Not only will you get it, with the communication planet Mercury moving to accent both close friends and colleagues, it appears that, you’ll finally be able to get others involved.
Leo | July 22 – August 21
As a Leo and a fire sign, you’re able to be frank when necessary, if not blunt. However, you’re well aware certain matters are already a source of stress to others, so are trying to be tactful. Don’t. Things are complicated enough already. Be as forthright as possible about the issues in question.
Virgo | August 22 – September 21
While, obviously, you’re eager to hear that others are happy with the plans you’ve devised, you can’t help but wonder if certain improvements wouldn’t be wise. Perhaps. But these are now their responsibility, too, which means you’ll need to discuss these and, in fact, seek their agreement and support.
Libra | September 22 – October 22
The time has come to do a lot of listening. As a Libra, you’re good at that although, the fact is, while it may seem you’re being attentive, your mind is often elsewhere. Now, however, you need to keep track of every word and, even more, the mood. This will be amazingly instructive.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
Tempting as it’s been to blame certain individuals for their lack of attention to detail, you’re well aware that no single person is responsible for recent difficulties. What you can do, however, is work together to spot those vulnerable points and find ways handle them before they become major problems.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20
Recent discussions, some fairly heated, both defined persistent issues and made it clear what needs to be done. While not everybody agreed with you, the resulting exchange of ideas got you thinking about other ideas. These are so new and exciting you can’t wait to turn those ideas into action.
Capricorn | December 21 – January 18
The question is, are you still battling over one particular detail because the actual situation is important to you, or because you dislike the idea of being seen to give up? While you rightly pride yourself on your persistence, previously, you’ve stuck with things for far too long, and you’re about to do it again.
Aquarius | January 19 – February 17
Only days ago you’d already decided the new ideas that so excite others are of absolutely no interest to you. Yet since then, a series of chance encounters or timely but unexpected conversations have revolutionised your thinking. And, more important, what you’ve learnt has both excited and thrilled you.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
On Monday the retrograde Venus moves into Pisces. This accents all forms of relationships, both personal and out in the world and, because it’s moving backwards, give you a chance to review a range of issues that, despite your efforts, you’ve been unable to resolve and feared would remain that way.
