Arts & Culture HOROSCOPES April 21-28, 2016
April 21, 2016
Aries Mar 21 - Apr 19
This week could see you growing less idealistic and more materialistic, particularly when it comes to career, money, and security. Pluto turns retrograde at the top of your chart, so you could focus even more deeply on a goal or plan that you're trying to accomplish. There's a danger that you could become obsessed, so watch out for that tendency. Thursday's emotional Full Moon could find you sharing feelings you've held back for some time. Friday is the time to party!
Taurus Apr 20 – May 20
You'll come into your own this week as the Sun enters your sign to enhance vitality and encourage you to put meaningful plans into motion. Nevertheless, as Pluto enters its retrograde phase, you could become entangled in a relationship that may not be in your best interests. Guard against this, as you'll need as much freedom as you can get if you're to make the progress you desire. On Thursday, a little white lie might be better than being too honest
Gemini May 21 - Jun 20
This week you're entering a phase in which you'll want to avoid too much socializing, preferring to spend more time doing your own thing. The cosmos encourages you to reflect on your successes and failures over the past year and look ahead to what you hope to achieve. This can also be a promising week for collaborating on a long-term project. It might be slow, but eventually success will be yours. Lighten your schedule on Thursday to reduce the Full Moon's impact.
Cancer Jun 21 - Jul 22
You may begin to feel more relaxed and less frazzled as the Sun eases out of your career sector and enters your social sector. You've been through a fairly hectic phase recently, but with a focus now on the sign of Taurus, it's time to unwind and have some fun. On another note, don't pay too much attention to someone's opinion, particularly if it seems somewhat negative. Thursday's Full Moon could see you getting quite passionate with the one you love.
Leo Jul 23 - Aug 22
The week ahead looks very promising for collaborating on a long-term project. And even though results may be slow in coming, success can be yours with perseverance. Meanwhile, your thoughts may move toward more materialistic and career-oriented goals as the Sun glides into Taurus and the topmost sector of your chart. Thursday's Full Moon could bring drama on the home front, which you'd be wise to ignore, especially if you have more important matters to attend to.
Virgo Aug 23 - Sep 22
As Pluto turns retrograde in your romance and creativity sector on Monday, you could become more focused on a budding relationship or artistic project. However, you could get a tad obsessed, which certainly won't help. Make time to stand back and get involved in other things, as the outcome will be more positive if you do. In fact, the Sun's move into Taurus can be an invitation to explore new territory or take a break, which should help you unwind on all levels.
Libra Sep 23 - Oct 22
You may begin to feel more relaxed as the Sun enters sensuous Taurus. Even though you'll be busy, you should feel less anxious and a lot calmer as you go about your everyday tasks. However, you might need to detach from a family situation that may be taking up too much of your time and energy. Pluto turns retrograde on Monday, so you may realize that this situation has gone on for too long. This is your chance to do something about it.
Scorpio Oct 23 - Nov 21
As your personal planet Pluto enters its retrograde phase on Monday it would be helpful to not get too obsessed with a certain situation. The more you can stand back and let matters take their course, the sooner you can find a solution. The Sun's move into Taurus and your sector of relating allows you to take stock of key associations, friendships, and a romantic partnership and consider how you can improve matters. Expect the unexpected on Friday!
Sagittarius Nov 22 - Dec 21
You may find yourself becoming a lot more focused on money, career, and the material side of life. Indeed, the issue of financial or other security may weigh heavily on your mind. A part of this might be because Pluto turns retrograde in your personal financial zone, causing you to be overly concerned with money matters. If you can relax your grip on this area, cash may flow to you more easily - and from unanticipated sources. Take it easy on Thursday!
Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19
You may begin to feel as though a burden has been lifted as the Sun enters Taurus and your pleasure sector. If you've been busy with family matters, the weeks ahead can bring a pleasant respite. You now have a chance to indulge your senses and enjoy yourself. Think luxurious massages with scented oils, country walks, hikes on mountain trails, dates in exotic restaurants, or anything else can think of. This is your chance to go for it!
Aquarius Jan 20 - Feb 18
Get ready to relax with a capital R. If you feel exhausted, the Sun's move into Taurus and your home sector could be like returning to the womb. This is your opportunity to nurture yourself and replenish your energy. If someone calls with an exciting project, don't immediately say yes and commit. You need this time to get back in touch with your body and restore yourself to sanity. Nevertheless, Thursday's Full Moon could put you in the spotlight. Be ready!
Pisces Feb 19 - Mar 20
After a few frazzled weeks, the next few should be calmer and easier to handle. Your mind may turn to more practical pursuits as the Sun enters your sector of talk and thought. Plans that could enhance your security, grow your business, or improve your lifestyle may seek expression. As Pluto turns retrograde, steer clear of a certain friend who may be jealous of you. In fact, you might need to cut off the relationship completely if things don't change.
