Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, April 26, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Annoying and time consuming as dealing with recent changes may be, the good news is that they are giving you a chance to review arrangements you thought you would just have to live with. If you want to make changes, forget about discussion. Plunge in. You must move swiftly.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Every once in a while, you encounter somebody with whom you have an ongoing battle about plans, ideas or changes. Whatever the case, you have been unable to find an agreeable compromise. Now events have made the decision for you. While neither of you is pleased, the plans will proceed without a hitch.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

No sign is better at dealing with the twists and turns triggered by your ruler Mercury’s cycle of retrograde, or reverse, movement. In fact, you have become skilled at transforming even seemingly impossible setbacks into opportunities, for you and others. That seems to be the case now. Move swiftly. This won’t last long.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

This is a tricky, if not unsettling, cycle. Even the most sensitive of Cancerians learns to discern between personal issues and those that could affect others. Now you need to ensure everybody is updated. Or so you think. Actually, you need say nothing. Others aren’t nearly as vulnerable as you think.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

Last week, your ruler the Sun moved into the part of your chart that accents joint ventures. The challenge? While you enjoy the company of others, you have an independent streak, and often prefer to tackle tasks on your own. That’s understandable, but what you’re dealing with can’t be done alone.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Long ago you learned that, despite the good intentions of certain individuals, their priority is getting things done swiftly, which means they not only make countless errors, they don’t even notice. The secret? Find tasks that are about action, not accuracy.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

As a Libra, you do not just value harmony, you will go out of your way to avoid potentially unsettling clashes. At the moment, however, these are not just inevitable — what you learn while talking things over will explain and bring an end to ongoing misunderstandings. The franker discussions are, the better

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Only days ago, you were ready to make changes, many in elements of your life you have been struggling to keep as they are. For now, wait. Discuss this with those who you trust. In the recent past you were told facts that confused you. The sooner you talk over the matters in question, the better.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Although the Full Moon took place a few days ago, you are still dealing with the fallout, both in the form of ongoing changes in circumstances and the unsettled mood of the individuals involved. Reassure them if you feel you must, but resist the temptation to get involved. You’d soon regret it.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

You rarely discuss worrying matters with others, or at least with those who you don’t know well. But when you’re facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles, you often struggle with self-doubt. This forces you to consider whether you would benefit from others’ advice or support. Actually, that’s wise.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

If you sense sudden changes, if not breakthroughs, are in the air, you are right. While some are easily recognisable for what they are, as many could seem as unwelcome as they are unexpected. Still, explore these. What seems least likely initially could, within a short time, turn into a welcome surprise.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Being a sensitive Piscean, it pains you to witness others struggling. The reason doesn’t matter, it’s just the compassion you feel for their battles. Discuss this is you must. But make a promise to yourself to avoid trying to rescue them from their problems. These are theirs, and theirs alone, to deal with.

If it's your birthday on...

Saturday

Few things annoy you more than those who make plans, swear they’ll last, then begin rethinking things within days. Now you’re doing this, mostly because of sudden yet welcome developments. The secret? Ensure your plans are flexible, enough to benefit from even unsettling changes.

Sunday
