Horoscope for Thursday, April 23, 2020

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Guard against impulse shopping. Likewise, guard against disputes and arguments about money and possessions, which can arise because of the placement of the moon. Stay calm and on top of things.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Keep your shirt on, because the moon is in your sign lined up with wacky Uranus and at odds with fiery Mars. This makes you impatient and impulsive! Stay chill.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

In many ways, this is a restless day, which makes it easy for you to lose your temper either at yourself or someone else. Naturally, this won’t make anyone feel better, including you. Instead, use another influence that is at play. Venus is in your sign and Venus makes you charming and diplomatic! (Sweet.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might be tempted to argue with a female friend or a member of a group, but where will this get you? That fleeting release of anger will lead to negative feelings for everyone. You don’t need this. Therefore, guard against knee-jerk reactions, especially in discussions about shared property.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

When talking to parents, bosses and people in authority, you will be touchy! For starters, you are a natural boss, and when you see someone being a poor boss, this really bugs you! But hey, why create enemies? Stay frosty.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today because they will erupt into arguments and disputes that will destroy your peace of mind. (You need this like a fish needs a bicycle.) Relax. Go back to your crossword.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Issues regarding inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property might come to a head today, which in turn will trigger an argument with a partner or close friend? Think of your long-range view. Basically, you want to stay on good terms with this person, right? Keep this in mind.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Squabbles with family members, partners and close friends might arise today, in part, because you are caught off guard. “I was ambushed!” Whatever the case, keep in mind that you are a serious adversary. You are strong willed and scary at times. “Moi?” Yes, you. Easy does it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be careful because this is an accident-prone day for you; therefore, to avoid accidents and distractions, pay attention to everything you say and do. Slow down and take it easy. Be mindful. As an old uncle used to say, “We don’t want to get our names in the paper!”

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Parents need to be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Families in isolation have real challenges because there’s no chance to get away from each other. Remember to be loving, kind and patient. (Factoid: Patience is the antidote to anger.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Disputes and arguments at home, especially with female family members, are likely today. This is one of the great challenges that we all face now with home isolation. It’s funny but the only way one can learn patience and kindness is to be in proximity with someone else. Are you up for this challenge?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be careful. This is an accident-prone day for you. This accident could be verbal or physical. This simply means you have to slow down, be mindful and think before you speak or do anything. Guard against knee-jerk reactions and flippant retorts.

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV host John Oliver (1977) shares your birthday. You are artistic and have classic tastes. You have an excellent business savvy and fresh ideas. You are hard-working and insightful. Finally, this year your hard work will start to pay off! Simplify your life and focus on how to build solid foundations. Work with purpose. Physical exercise will be important, which is why you should explore enjoyable physical activities.
