Today's Horoscope for Tuesday April 23rd

Although you know you should be sorting out long term plans, what you would prefer is to play away the day and enjoy yourself. Balancing the needs of the future with your instant desire for fun is part of the message of today's Full Moon. Sometimes in the rush and scramble of coping with everyday matters and an active social life, you lose track of what you want for yourself. Allowing that vital inner spark to shine out is more important than fitting in with everyone else's expectations at least for a day.



The Weekly Outlook from 22nd April

Friends may pull you one way and loved ones another. You will need to decide how to divide yourself between everyone. You have been spending more time recently with your wider social circle but maybe those close have been feeling excluded, so cuddle up close when you have the chance. Though truthfully you will be even more in demand than recently for your views at work and out in the community. You will have all relevant info down to the last detail. Just don't drown everyone in too many facts and figures.

Your Monthly Horoscope for April

You will have to keep working hard to get results but it will be worth the effort. If you take the lead others will follow behind and your persuasive powers will smooth over any differences. Admittedly at times you may come across as opinionated since you won't budge from what you believe and will be trying to convert those close round to your viewpoint. Travel plans may run into snags or delays around the 10th so have a Plan B in case of emergencies and try to face up to setbacks with equanimity. Getting frustrated won't help.

Your optimism will soar with new opportunities opening up. The final few days will be friend-filled and forward-looking so you won't be bored.

and Next Month's Horoscope for May
