Horoscope for Thursday, April 16, 2020

Moon Alert

We have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your emotional contact with friends or groups is important to you. One thing many people in isolation are realizing is the importance of emotional connections with others. We need each other. How we relate to others defines who we are.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Intimate details about your personal life might be on public display. This might be disconcerting, because in varying degrees, we all have something to hide. Nevertheless, be aware of this so you are not caught off guard.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You want to get away from all this! You need a change of scenery. Hmm, this is impossible for most of us. However, not entirely impossible. What you really need is mental stimulation! You need to do something different and learn something new.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You watch your pennies because you’re thrifty. Today is a good day to set aside some time to focus on taxes, debt, shared property, inheritances, wills, estates and all that red-tape stuff that’s not going to go away on its own. Set aside 15 or 20 minutes to dig in and get something done.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For two days every month, the moon is opposite your sign. (Today is the second day.) When this occurs, it draws your attention to your loved ones and partners. It heightens your emotions, which makes confrontations more emotional. (Yikes!) Guard against knee-jerk reactions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Don’t be resentful if you have to put the wants and needs of someone else before your own today. It’s just what’s happening. The moon is in a certain part of your chart, and this happens to each one of us every month. Big deal. You can handle it. It’s a joy to labor for those you love.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you want the freedom to be yourself and do your own thing because of the placement of the moon. Romantic relationships will be more emotional than usual. Quite likely, you will feel protective and nurturing to someone. Enjoy time with kids.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Because this is a natural time to cocoon at home by yourself, today it won’t be so tough to be in isolation because this is actually what you want to do! If you’re in close quarters with others, find some space to contemplate your navel. You need this.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Communications with others are important to you today. Of course, because you are the truth seeker of the zodiac, you want a heart-to-heart, tell-it-like-it-is conversation. This is why you will feel impatient if people are superficial or in denial. You want something authentic!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You are a practical sign, and today you’re concerned with money, earnings and your possessions. Don’t be overcome by worries because once every 12 years, lucky Jupiter is in your sign helping you more than ever to deal with your life. The year 2020 is your turn! Yes, you are protected!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the moon is in your sign (as it was yesterday and tomorrow morning.) This happens for about two days every month, and when it occurs, although it can make you more emotional about everything, it also brings you a bit of extra good luck. This is good.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will be happy to withdraw from the busyness around you and seek out solitude if possible because this is what you need today. You might also enjoy exploring a mystical or spiritual discipline. (You are a very psychic sign.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sadie Sink (2002) shares your birthday. You are an optimist who is outgoing and friendly. You are energetic but also kind and gentle. Service to others is your theme this year, especially with family. This means you must take care of yourself so that you are a strong resource for yourself and others. Invest in the relationships that you value. Tap into your personal creativity and hobbies.
