Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Monday, April 29, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Urgent as many of the matters you’re currently facing seem, you’re better off taking things slowly. The reason? When Mercury went retrograde in early April, minor issues turned into major misunderstandings. Focus on remedying these now, ideally before those conflicts become a battle — if not an ongoing drama.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

As a Taurus and a practical earth sign, long ago you realised certain individuals actually enjoy causing confusion. And not only is this what you’re facing, the individuals in question have turned creating chaos into a strange variety of a hobby. The solution? Insist on checking things out, point by point.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

If you’re into astrology, you’ll be aware that while your ruling planet, Mercury, was retrograde until last week, you’ll still be dealing with the fallout from the resulting confusion. Discuss this now. The more forthright you are, the more you’ll learn from a frank exchange of ideas.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

As a sensitive Cancer and a water sign, you’re sometimes more aware of others’ feelings and struggles than they are themselves. However, that doesn’t mean you like raising and discussing these issues with the individuals in question. Now, however, not only is it wise, those discussions are urgent.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

If you’re still battling to maintain control over certain increasingly tricky situations, your determination is admirable. However, judging by the growing range of obstacles you’re facing, it’s time to focus on a more logical strategy. True, this may seem like a compromise. If so, it’s one that will prevent you wasting time.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Although you enjoy and benefit from discussing potential solutions for issues involving others, that doesn’t mean you’ll follow their suggestions point by point. And that could be a problem. The solution? Discuss your concerns and as soon as possible. Doing this alone will make a huge difference.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

True, as a Libra others’ approval of joint plans matters. What’s more, you’re better off discussing any issues now while you can do so in a civilised manner. This won’t just be informative, you’ll finally talk things over with others in a calm atmosphere, which the longer you wait becomes less likely.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’re facing an impossible issue. The solution? For now, it’s to agree to disagree. That is, to make it clear that you and others are determined to find an arrangement that works for everybody, but must acknowledge achieving it is unlikely, at least for now. Still, commit to exploring your options. You’ll learn a lot.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Yet again you’re waiting for others to catch up with your ideas or suggestions. The problem? You’ve discussed your thoughts, but as usual they’ll need time to think. You’ve plenty of other things to do. That being the case, back off and busy yourself tackling growing list of tasks awaiting your attention.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

True, the recent encounter between the forthright Mars and your ruler, practical Saturn, took place in early April. But it was so intense and led to such lengthy discussions that you’re still exploring your options. While this is understandable, with things moving so swiftly the time for talk is over. Take action now.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

Since early in the month, your ruling planet Uranus has been positioned close to the fortunate Jupiter. This rare link hasn’t just led to exciting offers, you’ve also found yourself considering — if not making — changes that only recently you’d have regarded as unrealistic. Now, however, you’re benefiting from amazing results.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

After weeks of juggling plans, both because of changes in circumstances and your ongoing review of your own priorities, events are forcing you to commit to at least a single goal or objective. Challenging as this seems at the time, when looking back doing so will have been a huge relief.

True, the discovery that you must rethink certain plans is annoying. While some are recent and others long-standing, this is no surprise. In fact, you’ve learnt how wise making even seemingly far out changes can be from juggling the minor changes that have been reshaping elements of your life during the past couple of months. What seemed most worrying then has turned into thrilling, if often unexpected, new ideas and ventures. And there’s more to come in the future.
