Horoscope for Monday, April 20, 2020

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today the moon is in your sign dancing with Saturn, which encourages you to be sensible. Discussions with someone older, perhaps a friend or a boss, might go well. However, as the day wears on, this person might raise some obstacles. (Groan.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Some behind-the-scenes research might pay off today. You feel good about your results. But as the day wears on, someone in a position of authority might challenge your suggestions. This might be because of frustrations dealing with the government.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Initially, you want to explore something because you see a practical advantage. However, later in the day (or perhaps tomorrow), you will see that things aren’t working out as smoothly as you had hoped. (If at first, you don’t succeed, hide all the evidence.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might impress a boss, parent or someone in a position of authority with your ideas. These ideas could relate to shared property, taxes and debt. But later in the day, a friend might object to the same ideas. (Whaaat?) You can’t win!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will enjoy studying, especially if it has a practical use. Or perhaps someone older has some advice for you? Ironically, later in the day, a boss, parent or someone in authority might throw cold water on your excellent ideas. Bummer.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you might make headway dealing with taxes, debt, shared property or insurance issues. You have a practical, sensible take on things, which will allow you to accomplish something. Nevertheless, by the end of the day, you might encounter unwelcome restrictions.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A discussion with a partner or close friend might yield some practical solutions for you today. Or perhaps you will talk to someone older or more experienced? Nevertheless, as the day wears on, restrictions, especially financial restrictions from another source, might disappoint.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Do what you can to mentally gear up so that you can get things done. Decide to be more organized in your approach to everything. Likewise, decide to be supportive in a practical way to your own health. Don’t be discouraged if a discussion with a partner or close friend falls flat.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a good day to hone a technique or practice a skill so that you can get better and better at it. Likewise, you might enjoy teaching children or young minds today. Be patient late in the day if restrictions throw a wrench in things for you. (Could be related to your job, your health or pet.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A family discussion will go well today because everyone wants practical results that will make life easier. This especially applies to DIY projects or home repairs. By evening, difficulties with kids or a romantic partner might take priority in your mind.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a good day to do some serious planning because you are in a practical frame of mind, which means you won’t overlook details. Don’t be discouraged if a parent or someone older wants to put the kibosh on your plans. Maybe this means a delay?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

If shopping today, you will choose to buy long-lasting, practical items. Some might have interesting ideas about how to earn money? If so, don’t let anyone rain on your parade later today, because this could happen. Albert Einstein, your fellow Pisces, said, “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Shemar Moore (1970) shares your birthday. You are energetic, determined and enthusiastic about what you do. You work hard on your personal relationships, and you like your creature comforts. It’s time to identify goals because you’re entering a year of exciting new beginnings! What do you want for yourself in the next several years?
