Today's Horoscope for Monday April 20th
In coming weeks money will be on your mind so you will fight to defend your rights and get your due, but do not be too possessive. Flow with the bounty of the universe and it will flow back in your direction. Trying to be in control all the time can sometimes backfire, so you lose what you might have gained. Later you will have a critical, clear view of one situation but it may not endear you to close companions. Try adding a few compliments first if you have to be honest or critical.
The Weekly Outlook from 20th April
The Sun is now moving through your chart area of personal finances so you will be putting extra effort into getting your budget in order in coming weeks. You will be determined to manage what you already have sensibly. Though your spending is also likely to shoot up. Be firm but not obstinate in negotiations or agreements. Generosity combined with balanced common sense will produce the best results. Later your way with words guarantees that you will be persuasive.
Your Monthly Horoscope for April
A sombre start to the month will only last a day or two but there will be a hint that taking life seriously and being realistic will help. But your natural bounce and ebullience will not be deflated for long. Good news at home or on the family front will give you a lift around the 6th and with Mars into your own sign to join the Sun after the 9th you will be firing on all cylinders until after mid May. You may not always be sensible or tactful but no one will doubt your courage or decisiveness. You will have moments of indulgence along the way, being keen to pamper yourself and add a hint of glamour to your life. Be prepared for a setback or delays to plans around the 20th since Saturn will get in the way of fast progress. Thereafter with the Sun moving through Taurus you'll focus on you finances and indulgence. Sorting out the budget to bring security and allow for spending will be a priority. Though there may be an obstacle to overcome before the month's end.
and Next Month's Horoscope for May
Foot down hard on the accelerator with fiery Mars, your ruler, in your own sign, you won't put up with delays or distractions and will brush any slow coaches to one side. Supported by helpful loved ones and family members you will need to steady down at points or you'll let your enthusiasm run away with you. Luckly Mercury and the Sun in practical Taurus will put the brakes on certain of your wilder impulses. You know you need to put security up as a priority rather than allow your indulgent streak to overspend. Though it may not be easy to find a balance. After midmonth there will be a drift over to chatty, flexible Gemini which will see your everyday schedule speed up. Though Mars moving into heavyweight Taurus will increase your determination and throw one obstacle your way up to the 26th which will take perseverance to overcome.
Year Ahead 2026
As a fiery, adventurous sign, times of change and transition are not a problem for you though you may have odd moments of confusion and indecision. Saturn and Neptune moving through your own sign will find you both serious and sympathetic, aware that you need to leave the past behind, yet low in motivation or clear vision. Be grateful for moments when you draw closer to the special people in your life as you lower your defences. Jupiter moving through Cancer, your chart area of home and family affairs, will bring comfort and relaxation until July, as you snuggle up in familiar surroundings and find old tensions wind down. You?ll be content within yourself and then from mid-year you?ll be socially outgoing, determined to revive your leisure activities and have fun for the rest of the year. Your inventive ideas will bring you into contact with influential friends as you press ahead determined to make a difference and initiate constructive changes not only in your own life but also out in your community. Certain friendships will become intense and not always easy to handle calmly. Your outspoken approach will get at the truth but may not always go down well. A mixed bunch of eclipses will focus your attention on your future plans and your finances early on, giving you a nudge to up your game in both areas. From September onwards for several months finding a balance between a lively social life interspersed with quiet time for yourself will be important.
