For Friday, April 12

The sensitive Moon squares harsh Saturn, which can lead to unfortunate encounters with authority figures or parents or isolation. Whether they’re actual fights or just unfortunate encounters, these issues can hurt. Luna also struggles with blunt Mars, bringing similar challenges as Saturn, but these challenges can be more aggressive, irritating or fast-paced. Later, the Moon works with intelligent Mercury to help us figure out a solution to our obstacles. This too shall pass!

ARIES

MARCH 2 1 -APRIL 1 9

What’s said can’t be unsaid.

You could be struggling with someone who’s usually in your corner. Still, do your best to avoid redirecting this energy right back at them, as that would throw fuel on the fire. If it becomes clear they aren’t interested in finding a way forward, move on.

TAURUS

APRIL 2 0 -MAY 2 0 Your security may be rattled by the actions of others. A group you’re normally part of may make plans without you. This can be disheartening, but the right move is not to become defensive and dig in your heels. Ask yourself if they were truly coming from a good place and trying to provide you with tough love.

GEMINI

MAY 2 1 -JUNE 2 0

Authority figures in your life could provide you with trouble. Maybe they’re acting controlling in an effort to prevent you from moving forward. This could be a boss you’re butting heads with or parents who don’t understand your life goals. Do what you can to follow your soul’s compass anyway.

CANCER

JUNE 2 1 -JULY 2 2

Confusion might be your true opposition at this time. You’re more prone to stumbling over small obstacles. Long-distance travel and higher education are extra likely to invite hassles during your day. To avoid any unnecessary pitfalls or detours, set aside some time to check and double-check.

LEO

JULY 2 3 -AUG. 2 2 You might be feeling isolated today. Your friend group might not be available to spend time with. This can be alienating, but nothing you do seems to be working. Remind yourself that this isn’t forever. If things just refuse to go the way you hoped, there will be more friends to make in life.

VIRGO

AUG. 2 3 -SEPT. 2 2

Public troubles could be coming your way. You might struggle with domineering authority figures in your workplace. This can create tension for you and those on the same level as you. On the other hand, maybe the controlling energy is coming from outside of the workplace. Know your strength!

LIBRA

SEPT. 2 3 -OCT. 2 2

The ideologies of your elders might not quite align with yours. You could feel drawn away from them. While going against the grain can be difficult, it’s important you follow your unique path and avoid just falling into line. Follow what you truly believe in your heart.

SCORPIO

OCT. 2 3 -NOV. 2 1

Guilt can cause hurt feelings without warning. It’s important to look at where it’s stemming from. Be honest with yourself.

True, it could be necessary to humble yourself and say sorry, but it’s also possible that guilt is being used to manipulate you. Make an effort to understand which one is happening here.

SAGITTARIUS

NOV. 2 2 -DEC. 2 1

Family may wound your emotions. You may feel misunderstood by them. Just because you’re spending time with people who don’t necessarily align with your relatives doesn’t mean you don’t love with them. It’s important to know who is for you in this life.

CAPRICORN

DEC. 2 2 -JAN. 1 9

You might be struggling with relatives near your age — especially siblings. When it feels like you’re stuck walking on eggshells, it may be time to have a deeper conversation. Let everyone cool off, then try to have a neutral conversation where everyone has a chance to connect.

AQUARIUS

JAN. 2 0 -FEB. 1 8

Risky choices could stress out you and others. It’s not a good idea to make rash decisions or jump into something you haven’t researched properly.

Do your best to stay level-headed. Once you’re able to breathe, remind yourself you don’t have to make a decision right now.

PISCES

FEB. 1 9 -MARCH 2 0

Your emotions might not get the weight that they deserve.

This can be hurtful. If they were in a calmer place, they may be better able to explain their own reactions, but it may be a case where the high stress of the situation pushes both of you to argue with one another. Try to table this to discuss when you’re both in a clearer headspace.
