Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Tuesday, April 30, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

Some say those born under the sign of Aries actually enjoy arguing with others. On the contrary, it’s about standing your ground. If you’ve been misunderstood or feel you’re being bullied, there’s no choice but to take a tough line. And while you’re aggressive sometimes, just as often others don’t realise you’ve confronted them.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

By the time this week of tricky twists and turns is over, you’ll have realised certain individuals actually enjoy causing problems and — if possible — creating chaos. Tempting as it is to try to reason with them, it will just make things worse. The solution? Organise as much as possible yourself.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

Every New Moon is about shedding elements of the past and, in doing so, clearing the way for changes — if not breakthroughs. The problem? You’re still struggling with having been overwhelmed by recent developments in the circumstances of others. For now, do nothing. Wait, watch and consider your options.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

For ages you’ve been seeking a forthright but discreet way to confront certain individuals who are so self-centred they don’t even notice of their words or actions are upsetting. The solution? For now, say nothing. However, be ready for that crucial moment when they’ve been upset. The rest will be easy.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

The balance between your charm, as a Leo, and the stubborn streak that’s a fundamental element of your nature shifts depending on your mood and the circumstances you’re dealing with. For now, focus on being flexible. While at the moment that may seem like a compromise, within days you’ll be glad you were.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Long ago you realised that not only are you alone in caring so much about doing things the right way, and from the outset, many regard your efforts as a waste of time. The individuals in question may even try to talk you out of your plans. If so, listen politely then proceed as you intended.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Although you’re aware that, whatever you or anybody else says, certain individuals will question the wisdom of your ideas or plans, at the moment those questions are worth pursuing. The individuals in question are better informed than others, which means their concerns are worth considerable — if not in-depth reflection.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

You’re increasingly surprised and pleased by how willing those who only recently refused to acknowledge the wisdom of far reaching changes are now in the midst of making plans. True, their ideas have a long way to go before they become lasting arrangements. Still, this is the kind of progress you’d been hoping for.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Long ago you realised you tend to agree to ideas, offers or future plans enthusiastically, but often forget to ensure you’re free from other commitments. While often you can reschedule these, at the moment that’s unwise if not impossible. Invest an hour or so in reviewing these and other demanding diary dates.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Understandably, you enjoy the company of certain witty individuals because they’ve a gift for making you laugh, even during tricky periods such as this is. Now, however, if you combine the facts with their creative thinking, the odds are good that together you’ll devise a plan that will work brilliantly.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

When the term ‘breakthrough’ is used, in life or in a column like this, it suggests a change of pace — if not far-reaching changes. Judging by this week’s planetary setup, those events are likely to be unexpected, so much they may seem worrying. Still, explore them. You won’t regret it.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

Initially you took the seemingly constant complaints of one person to heart. In fact, you wondered what could be done to alleviate those problems. Now finally you’ve realised that for this particular individual those difficulties aren’t just lasting, complaining is actually a fundamental element of their character.

As a Taurus, and a practical earth sign, long ago you learnt to ignore ideas or offers that are, quite frankly, unrealistic. Since then, however, you’ve begun to realise that with elements of the world around you, and circumstances closer to your everyday existence changing, those seemingly unrealistic ideas were actually breakthroughs, if in disguise. It’s the same now, except those ideas and offers are more far-reaching. The solution? Explore absolutely everything that comes your way.
