HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 2018 Power-Seekers Prevalent Under Plutonian Square
While some are of the “go big or go home” mindset, others use the Goldilocks method, trying small, medium and large to see which suits them. Whatever your approach, just make sure it’s your own and not something you’re bossed into by intrusive power-seekers, more prevalent given the current situation between the sun and Pluto.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Tune your super-sensitive soul in to the needs of those you love. It’s like you can audibly hear someone’s faint, subliminal cry for help. And yes, it’s also within your ability to save the day.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). On the horizon you’ll catch a glimmer of what’s to come. Don’t mistake this for a fixed destiny. If the picture that’s coming together isn’t what you want, you can still change it. If it is, don’t relax. Keep working until it gets here.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Who will you be when you grow up? The question doesn’t go away at 10 or 20 or 50. It persists. Your introspective mood will bring a new take on the matter today.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Life is easier for you when you are the favorite, as you will be today. It also doesn’t hurt that you reward people for their special care with your warm reception of it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone is different, with different tolerances, fears and strengths. Seek out people who can handle what bothers you, and handle what you can for others. All will be well.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re drawn to pretty things, but you don’t always realize why they look so good to you. Though aesthetics certainly contribute to your attraction, it’s really cinched by the values represented in a thing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Maybe today’s trickle of good stuff won’t seem like much, but make an effort to catch some of this anyway. Then you can follow the trickle to the stream and the stream to the river. All rivers lead to the ocean.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a valuable talent you sometimes take for granted. It’s like the “diamonds on the soles of her shoes” that Paul Simon sang about. When the sun catches you in action, they’ll get a glint of what you can do. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Around some people you feel confident and you give a top performance. Around others you can’t think or talk straight. One group is not better for you than the other. Both relationship dynamics have something to teach you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re on the lookout for a new possession, tool, relationship or practice to add to your daily routine. Finding the best thing isn’t as important as finding the thing that fits your lifestyle the best.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You want to believe the best in people, though it would be foolish to always act on that assumption. For right now, hold on, reserving judgment until you can tell which way the situation is leaning.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Ask any photographer, magazine editor or model: It takes a multitude of unglamorous actions to pull off high glamour. And that’s not just the case with glamour. Greatness in general is achieved through an accumulation of humble actions. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 12). Your goal is too big for one person. Others with complementary aims will assist. Assemble your team, and march forward together. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. A surprise will delight and motivate you in May. September brings a celebratory resolution of something you’ve been learning about or dealing with for years. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 10, 5, 27 and 19. RETROGRADE ACTIVITES: Mercury retrograde likes to remind us that problems are opportunities. The Jupiter retrograde would like to remind us that opportunities are also opportunities, many of which are so ever present that we forget to think about them. Here are some proactive opportunities available to you.
-- Refine Your Collection. Forward-moving planets are better for adding to a collection, but as most collectors know, there is more to collecting than the thrill of the find. The best collections are rich in context. The pause of a retrograde cycle allows for deeper appreciation of what you have. Labeling items, chronicling the relevant facts and history and finding the best presentation style are all favored activities.
-- Make a Bucket List. If you’ve never made a list of things you’d like to do in your lifetime, it can be a surprisingly cheerful practice. Some will still find the idea morbid, but how much more morbid would it be to come to the end of life full of regret for all that was left undone? Just as making lists in general helps people keep their lives organized, making bucket lists helps to organize a life around key ideas you have about what makes up a life well-lived.
CELEBRITY PROFILES: If there were a world record for breaking invisible windows with tossed pencils, David Letterman would surely hold it. Stunts such as this have contributed to making this Aries comedian a king of late night television, imitated by many, yet truly one-of-a-kind. Born under a Capricorn moon that squares his sun, Letterman works out inner turmoil through the humor he shares with the world.
