Horoscopes april 12-18

Aries

March 21 – April 19 If you can manage your impulses at the start of the week, you can make some meaningful changes to the stuck parts of your life, Aries. It’s tempting to decide that your life can only be variations of how it’s always been, but luckily, that’s not true. If you’re willing to look beyond your fears and assumptions, you’ll find that there are lots of options you haven’t even considered. Explore, innovate and experiment without making any hard decisions.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20 If you feel restless at the start of the week, don’t freak out — it’s your chance to heed the call. You’re not in control, and TBH, you’re not supposed to be. Reflect on motives that brought you to where you are. Take inspired risks to create the conditions that feed your soul, even if they require a passage into discomfort. Knowing the answers does not absolve you of the process, my love.

Gemini

May 21 – June 21 It’s easy to chat with people, but it’s a whole other thing to show up and be real with them. You need help — whether you need a hand, some TLC or just someone to listen to your craziest ideas, ask people to be there for you puts you in a vulnerable place. Take the risk of being let down over the safe route of living in your own head, Twin Star. This week, you’ll get further by sharing yourself with others and letting them into your world.

Cancer

June 22 – July 22 Sometimes it’s easy to take on other people’s feels without even realizing it, but it’s never a good idea. Be on the lookout for themes of co-dependency this week, Moonchild. The good news is that you’ll have the chance to practice being more embodied and independent. Investigate interpersonal dynamics without obsessing over what others are thinking or feeling. Let your healthy boundaries reveal the true state of your relationships.

Leo

July 23 – Aug. 22 No matter how itchy you are to get things moving, this week the best action for you is internal. The people around you need a chance to catch up, so even if you feel like you’re moving slowly, take a moment to pause and consider how your actions are impacting those around you. Analysis without heart is just hot air, and investment without vision is just spinning your wheels. Get clear on what you desire, and watch things start to shift around you, Leo.

Virgo

Aug. 23 – Sept. 22 When you give too much attention to something, it’s hard to see it clearly. It’s like standing too close to a painting — you lose sight of what the whole piece is about because you only see the brushstrokes. Take a step back, Virgo. Allow yourself to be uncomfortable with what you don’t know so that you can make connections based on what you do. This week can bring you some long-awaited answers, but you need to be receptive in order to hear them.

Libra

Sept. 23 – Oct. 22 Stress and fear have their roles to play in life; having good instincts about dangers can keep you safe and wisely direct your actions. That said, there’s only so far that stress can take you, Libra. Obsessing over potential consequences can be way worse than actually dealing with them. This week it’s time to make a call: either heed your fears or let them go. Have confidence in your ability to cope with the consequences, whatever they may be.

Scorpio

Oct. 23 – Nov. 21 This week is a good time to take a break. If you can carve out some time for yourself to recline into retrospection, you’ll be so much better for it. If your plans have been reactionary, you’re unlikely to be happy with the results of them, even if they’re technically successful. Lay foundations that are inspired by deep truths instead of habit or convenience, Scorpio. You’re on the road to a deeper sense of happiness, but it will only be achieved with caring consideration.

Sagittarius

Nov. 22 – Dec. 21 FOMO is no joke — that persistent feeling that you’re missing out can make it really hard to settle on a choice, even when you totally know what you want. This week your what-ifs are colliding with your actual potential, and it can go either way. You can (theoretically) have it all, but you probably can’t have it all, all at once. Align yourself with what’s best for you right now, and don’t worry, it doesn’t have to mean that you’ll never get all the other things that you want.

Capricorn

Dec. 22 – Jan. 19 Being helpful is kinda your jam, but that doesn’t mean that people always want your particular brand of tough-love assistance. More than that, once you’ve offered a hand, the receiver of it is not obliged to agree with your prescription for betterment, Cappy. Stop trying to support people who aren’t asking for it. If you can accept that everyone is different, it’s much easier to let others grow at their own pace. Once that’s settled, you can stop avoiding your own feelings and tend to your happiness for a while.

Aquarius

Jan. 20 – Feb. 18 The thing about what’s technically true with you, is that you are not a technical being, you’re an emo creature, and emotions have a funny way of slowing things down. It’s time to take a step back, my love. While you can theoretically handle the events of your life just fine, this week your tender heart could use some space to work through your feels. You’re not running out of time, and there’s nowhere you have to be that will be improved by you getting there out of whack.

Pisces

Feb. 19 – March 20 What you think of now as an ending, you may one day perceive as a beginning — it’s all a matter of perspective really. Instead of lamenting on what is, look for the positive potential inwhat you’re being called to do, Pisces. This week you get to let go of something that’s been weighing you down, and this is a very good thing. Don’t waste your energy worrying about what comes next when you can simply create it. Be the change you wish to see in your life.
