Horoscopes 4/17

Published 7:59 pm Thursday, April 11, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The epiphany will not be a thunder bolt. It won’t come with the opening of clouds and a booming voice from heaven. Rather, it will unfold in stages and a series of ideas, each building on the last.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Motivation is an unreliable fuel source, so don’t count on it today. Get started and a half-hour later, motivation may kick in, though it probably won’t stay. You don’t need it. You can work without it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Prevention isn’t glamorous or dramatic. It’s the opposite of a story, since you don’t really ever know the extent of what you’re preventing. Still, you sense it’s the better option, and it is.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It may not be as clear to you as it really should be, but you need a break. You’re like that frog in the pot of water being incrementally raised one degree at a time, so you hardly notice when the cooking starts. Get free.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What if you forgive someone and the person does the exact same thing again? Maybe what’s needed is something other than forgiveness. Maybe what’s needed is to learn a person’s nature and design your part of the relationship accordingly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Like spotty cellphone service, you’ll get moments of clarity and plenty of blanks to fill in, which you’re perfectly capable of. Look at this like a puzzle or a game and you’ll have some fun with it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll do what you can. It’s good enough. It’s more than good enough — it’s reality. So you may as well accept yourself and feel positively about your contribution. With that mindset, growth will come naturally.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). To better understand what’s going on, you’ll slip into a state that’s neither logical nor illogical, both of the body and beyond it. You’ll do what the spiritual guru calls “entura,” meaning “entering the aura.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It won’t be enough to face, or even to embrace, your fear. Snuggle it instead. Get very vulnerable. Curl up. Let it envelope you, and do the same back. You are, after all, in this together.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Stay connected to the group even though the project seems to be taking forever. It won’t take forever. In a finite amount of time, you will reach the end and reap well-deserved benefits. Keep chipping away at it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You can learn something from almost anyone today. You’ll use some people as role models and others as reverse role models, as their lives play out like cautionary tales.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Just as a change in music can switch a movie scene from funny to scary, or create a mood that’s epic, folksy or any number of tones, music can also do this in your life. Today it will lighten, lift and inspire you.

TOMORROW’S BIRTHDAY (April 18). This year’s sense of forward motion is unparalleled — it’s like a theme park ride. You’re always on trend or leading the trend. An upgrade to your domestic life leads to more improvements. New relationships have a positive influence on your work and will set you on an adventure in August. Leo and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 30, 22 and 19.
