Horoscope for Monday, April 27, 2020

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions for 30 minutes from noon to 12:30 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Gemini into Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

In the next four weeks, you will think more about whatever you value in life, philosophically or in terms of money and material assets. You will make plans. Some will shop more than usual and be involved with financial negotiations.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Mercury is in your sign for the next four weeks, which will prompt you to want to express your POV to others. You will put a great deal of yourself into whatever you say. Your mind will be busy, jumping from issue to issue very rapidly.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Mercury is your ruler and it is hiding in your chart for the next four weeks, which means you will keep your opinions to yourself. You will be more inclined to get in touch with hidden sides of your own personality. Good time to go off by yourself to think or study.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You will think about your goals and expectations in life in the next four weeks. (Are your goals your goals or are they part of someone else’s plans?) During this window of time, you will also examine your attitude toward certain groups.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For the next four weeks, Mercury is at the top of your chart making you ponder your professional life and whether things are working out the way you want. This is a good time to tackle a new study or learn a new technique. It’s also a good time to talk to bosses and superiors.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You’re entering a four-week window that is excellent for study and education because you’re eager to learn something new. Anything related to other countries, the law, philosophy and higher knowledge will appeal. Before COVID-19, this influence would make you travel. (Sigh.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

An interesting four-week window ahead! Conversations with others and intellectual encounters will have a profound effect on you. (You might influence someone else or they might influence you.) Expect discussions about finances and shared property.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Mercury is opposite your sign for the next four weeks, which makes this an excellent time to clarify issues to others. You want fascinating conversation! Oscar Wilde said, “It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Good news! The next four weeks are an excellent time for all kinds of mental work. You’ll find you will be more attentive than usual. You will also want everything to be as close to flawless as possible and will enjoy making plans. Caution against criticizing others.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will welcome opportunities to express your ideas to others, especially creative, artistic ideas in the next four weeks. You want to use your mind for amusement, which is why you’ll enjoy reading, writing and playing games that require mental agility. (I’m so smart.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

In many ways, you might withdraw from others in the next four weeks, in part because you want to avoid confrontations, especially at home. Nevertheless, family discussions will take place — oh yeah. Events that occurred in the past bubble up in your mind now.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

The next four weeks are an excellent time for all kinds of intellectual activities. It’s not the time to sit down and relax. Instead, get active! If you are in isolation, use this energy to explore new ideas and study and write.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Imposter Frank Abagnale (“Catch Me If You Can”) (1948) shares your birthday. You are patient and observant. You are intelligent and ready to act instinctively. You love the outdoors, especially the water. This is your time of harvest! Yay! Now you will begin to reap the benefits of your efforts in the last decade. You deserve this time of success. Expect to enjoy an increased influence and leadership in your relationships. Yes!
