Your Horoscope for Thursday, April 26

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Stay close to home. You might want to be more passive and allow someone else to carry the banner for you. With some distance, your perspective transforms. You will gain a better understanding of the dynamics around you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
