Your Daily Horoscope
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 2015 Happy Earth Day! Mercury in Taurus forms an auspicious trine with Pluto in fellow earth sign Capricorn and then later hooks up with Mars in Taurus, too, emphasizing the themes of the day. Taking care of Mother Earth requires thought and effort, but it will be well worth the trouble. Plant a tree or make an ecological resolution you can keep.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 22). There’s a sense that you and your group are in it together, and you’ll learn to rely on each other to do what none of you could do alone. In May, you’ll use new tools to get what you want. The learning process will be the most fun, and you’ll make friends, too. You’ll ink a deal in July. September brings travel. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 29, 14, 38 and 17.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be called on to lead. Take your time with decisions. Find just the right words to instruct. If you have to criticize and redirect people, think carefully about how to execute this.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be asked to sit on a committee, join a board or be part of a group. Maybe this will take up some of your weekend, and it may even be quite boring, but it will be much better than the alternative: being left out.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Confrontation doesn’t bother you as much as it does some, and you can use this talent to your advantage. You don’t mind playing “bad cop” to someone’s “good cop” if it keeps the peace in the end.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You strive to acquire exceptional skills beyond what is required of you professionally. Cultivating an exciting hobby will serve to make you stand out in many different arenas.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Love will soften your heart for the whole world, not just for the person you happen to love. Your patience will increase, and your compassion will double on itself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). A mistake of the past still makes you cringe in the present. That’s because you haven’t let it go yet. Do try. A quick mental process may be all that’s needed, but a letting go ritual would be even better.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Whatever the physical and material borders that currently hold you back may be, you can and will transcend external limitations to define your own scope of possibility.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are smart enough, good enough and talented enough to do exactly what you want to do. If you work hard and keep believing, you will get there. Today will bring a glimmer of hope.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You give your whole heart to another person, and yet what this person experiences isn’t the grand music of your love. It’s the sweet, lighthearted tune of daily practicalities.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). These days you’ve been taking on either big projects or massive ones. Regardless of the scale, everything happens with a series of small action steps.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are empathetic and open, perhaps too much so for your own good. Place an imaginary bubble around yourself for deflection and protection against other people’s projections.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You completely accept your love for the person he or she is, and there is no higher way to honor your relationship today. Your relationships will make you truly happy.
