Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You may feel a little divided or pressured today, dear Aries, as your need for independence clashes with both your dedication to your career or responsibilities and your desire for companionship. This is a recurring theme in your life – it’s not new, but it’s still a little disorienting! You’re no stranger to the feeling of being pulled in many directions. Today, your desire to go your own way seems to clash with a longing for company. You can be feeling a little torn, but with a bit of creativity, you can satisfy both needs. Emotional or verbal disconnects are entirely possible, especially with people communicating in disjointed ways and not listening well. This has also been a theme for several weeks and is thankfully dissipating. Try to exercise patience in the face of some fickleness in others. With the Moon in your partnership sector today and tomorrow, you are more approachable and personable. You are not always someone who asks for help or company, making it a special surprise when people make the offer on their own.
Taurus
You can feel both sociable and withdrawn in starts and stops today, dear Taurus, and it can be challenging to find a balance between the two. You can find yourself easily distracted as much as you want to get things done, and this may be a signal that you’re in need of a change of pace so that you can get back into the groove of things. There can be some minor verbal disconnects, and some of the intensity of thought from recent days carries over. Fortunately, your perspective moves forward, and you’re more interested in righting wrongs in the here and now rather than focusing on what happened in the past. Venus in your solar second house until May 19th is excellent for a stronger sense of who you are and what you stand for. It also puts you in a good position to boost your income or to enjoy new things, too.
Gemini
The Moon in your solar fifth house today and tomorrow can put you in a more romantic, sharing, or creative mood, dear Gemini. This transit can be enjoyable overall, although you may be a little more susceptible to ups and downs if others aren’t reacting or responding in kind. While you may be trying to engage someone’s emotions, they may be taking you too literally. Alternatively, you may wrestle a little with whether to go your own way or divide the credit/work with others. Or, your desire to get close to someone is up and down. Emotional satisfaction can be a bit of a challenge until you work out your feelings. If you aim to overlook minor disconnects, it can be a satisfying day for exploring your creative impulses.
Cancer
You can feel a particular desire to stick close to home or with familiar things and situations today and tomorrow, dear Cancer. An emotional regrouping of sorts is needed and very welcome if you can manage it. With demands from all directions, however, this may not work out perfectly, but aim to cherish and make good use of the time that you do have for nurturing and comforting activities. Try to focus on what works for you rather than on what others are doing (or not doing) for best results. Otherwise, you can find yourself in an unpleasant state of vacillation. Giving people space right now may, in fact, draw you closer to one another in the long run. Friends can be supportive and inspire some excellent ideas.
Leo
You’re likely to enjoy the feeling of being busy today, dear Leo, but you can find it hard to know precisely what you want to do with yourself! The day can be a little hectic at times but should be satisfying overall if the goal is to get a lot of little things done. The general atmosphere is somewhat chaotic, as part of you may feel deeply concerned about the very things you’re avoiding. Even so, if you don’t get the elbow room you need today, you could be feeling quite restless and can have a hard time applying yourself. With the Moon in the sector of your chart that rules variety and connections, you’re inclined to dabble and branch out. These drives can compete with your desire to buckle down and get a whole lot of work done, but it’s important to take some breaks and find some balance now.
Virgo
It can be challenging listening to your intuition at times today, dear Virgo, with plenty of distractions. You might need to be a little noncommittal with others until you understand what you want and need more fully. The Moon has left your sign and emotions tend to stabilize. Even so, you may be craving extra comfort and pleasure now. You’re inclined to approach the day in an emotionally balanced and steady manner. While there can be some mildly frustrating interactions if others are pushing you to do more or to move out of your comfort zone, overall this is a good time to settle in and enjoy more peaceful activities that engage your senses. Circumstances can be such that you see the value of patience more clearly, or you’re more interested in building upon what you already have than starting something new, and this suits you well today and tomorrow.
Libra
The Moon spends today and tomorrow in your sign, dear Libra, upping the emotional volume. Feelings you may have kept at bay now demand your full attention. Energies are temperamental while the Moon is in your sign these days, largely due to its clash with planets in Capricorn, of which there are a few right now! Add this to the fact that you’re particularly sensitive to your feelings as well as the atmosphere around you with the Moon in your sign, and this can be a moody time. There can be huge distractions from your responsibilities now, largely related to a partner, friend, or relationship matter. You have the urge to break with the old and court the new, and if you are stuck doing the same old things, then you could feel emotionally restless. Your enterprising nature is in sharp force much of the day, and you might decide to take up an activity independently that you usually share with others.
Scorpio
Today and tomorrow are days for laying low, generally speaking, dear Scorpio, as the Moon spends time in your privacy sector signaling a need to take the pressure off. Even so, if you’ve recently felt put upon by others who expect you to do more than your share, learning your boundaries can be in store today. It can also be challenging to be truly heard today, as people can be so caught up in what they are saying that they do very little listening. While you can benefit from more time to yourself or with your own thoughts and feelings, this is not to say you won’t be pulled away from quiet activities. In fact, distractions can be plentiful, and the need to take care of business might arise. This makes it hard to concentrate on your priorities now. It may be wise to double check your work, as concentration levels may be low. Possibilities for extra rest, if they arrive, shouldn’t be overlooked.
Sagittarius
Routine wears you down today and tomorrow, dear Sagittarius, so aim to take breaks from the daily grind. Group activities and cooperative efforts can be animated now, and you might discover that others are demanding a little more of your time than usual. You are quite open to new feelings and experiences as well as experimentation, which can clash with the need to buckle down and discipline yourself. Your sense of community is strong, and emotional satisfaction can come through your interactions with friends, although they may take you on a bit of an emotional swing at times today. Finding a balance between sticking with the tried and true and dabbling in the new will be essential for peace of mind.
Capricorn
The Moon spends today and tomorrow at the top of your solar chart, dear Capricorn, and keeps your mind on your responsibilities. However, distractions and competing drives pull you away from duties more often than not today. This can leave you feeling on edge until you figure out a way to divide your time or compartmentalize. You might experience a tug of war between your desire to get things done or gain recognition and your need to relax and blend in with your surroundings. Conversations tend to be one-way or self-centered. People may very well be bringing up the same old grievances, or they’re falling back on ineffective communication patterns. You are more aware than usual of your reputation and the expectations of others, and while this can motivate you to do your best, you could feel a little vulnerable to criticism. Look into your heart to learn what truly satisfies you rather than worry too much about what others are doing today.
Aquarius
There can be unexpected disruptions to deal with today, dear Aquarius, and while irritating, they may very well get you thinking in new and useful ways. There can be some restlessness stirred, although you may not be able to satisfy your desire to get out and about as well as you’d like. You are inclined to mull over a particular topic, finding it hard to let go of an issue, but this can leave you feeling trapped and unfulfilled. Aim to feed your spirit today, whether it’s through expanding your mind or horizons. A change of scenery is vital for keeping you engaged and motivated, and staying stuck on a particular problem or point will only serve to wear you down.
Pisces
It can be challenging to stick to a task and make much headway today, dear Pisces, as you can find yourself easily distracted. This is a better time for freeform or creative activities than monotonous and routine tasks. Conversations may be a little one-sided as people don’t seem to have the time to truly listen to others’ input. Doors are opening to you, and you seem to need to put yourself “out there” with friends, in group settings, or with projects in order to see that they are. However, today requires you to pull back a little and understand yourself and your needs a little better. You’re inclined to feel a bit more deeply or to entertain deeper, richer feelings. You are also more able to observe and come up with answers that may be a little hidden or not very obvious.

Strong Signs, Elements, Modes
Today’s Emphasized Signs of the Zodiac
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.

Today’s Elemental Balance
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
Today’s Modal Balance
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 26th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected–or will perfect–in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours so that if an aspect involving the Moon is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect involving inner planets has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a lifetime).
