Horoscope: Monday, Apr 29

Today’s Sun-Saturn link could make you worry for no good reason. No matter how large the sense of foreboding you feel you must not give in to negativity. Nothing of any great importance will happen, so don’t let fear get the better of you.

The closer you get to Mars moving into your sign on the 10th the more confident you will feel about your long-term prospects. Don’t be afraid to try things that on other occasions might scare you away. You can take on the world – and win!

Those who say you lack imagination will be forced to admit that there is more going on inside your skull than they gave you credit for. Ideas will come thick and fast this weekend. Your principal goal must be to find ways to make them pay.

Something you previously found perplexing will make perfect sense today. Once you have managed to get your head round the issue you will realize that the confusion was largely your own fault. Next time, see what is actually there, not what you want to see.

The planets indicate that almost anything you ask for over the course of the weekend will be yours in a matter of days. You can, if you wish, focus on material things but for best results spend time with your family – love is the greatest prize.

You have been lacking in vitality of late and because of that you’ve let things slide a bit, but the situation will change very soon and then you will go to the other extreme and try to get everything done in one mad rush. You may even succeed!

It may not be in your nature to be cautious but the planets warn you must take care with your money over the next few days. It may be tempting to go on a spree but if you do you could be paying off debts for months to come.

With both the Sun and Mercury, your ruler, moving through one of the more challenging areas of your chart it may seem as if things are going wrong but it’s just the universe’s way of toughening you up. You’ll be thankful for it one day.

Your way with words will win everyone round to your way of thinking today. Whether your way of thinking is the right way is, of course, another matter entirely. Leave the emotional stuff to other people – you can and you must deal only in facts.

If a friend or colleague seems to be in trouble, you may not want to interfere for fear of being too intimate. But this isn't a time to hold back, Libra. It's likely that this person really does need your help. Your intervention will be much appreciated and possibly even rewarded. Be sure to get some rest tonight. You're emotionally and physically drained.

You need to give up on some sort of personal vendetta. You may find it hard to forgive and forget but on this occasion you have no choice: if you don’t move on, it could have a damaging effect on both your relationships and your career.

If someone reacts to what you have to say in a negative way over the next 24 hours just take it in your stride. Don’t feel sorry for yourself and certainly don’t hold a grudge against them. Chances are it is actually a blessing in disguise.

Be careful with money this week because the planets warn you could be too generous for your own good. There are many needy causes out there but you cannot possibly fund them all. Be selective in your charity, and look after those you love first.

When the Sun moves into the career area of your chart next weekend you will get the chance to put your big ideas to the test. Any one of them could change your life for the better but one idea in particular stands head and shoulders above the rest.

It's possible that the last few weeks have allowed you to gain a little clarity on certain questions you may have about your vocation, Aquarius. You might even be a little clearer about your feelings concerning what your destiny might be. The planetary energy makes this a good time to stop thinking about such questions and let your life take over. You are well prepared for this kind of thing!

Someone you think of as a friend will try to mislead you today. It would be nice to believe that they are trying to help but you know it isn’t true, so be on your guard and don’t give them the authority to make decisions for you.

What starts off as bad news early in the day will develop into good news later in the day, so don’t get too dismayed by what you hear. They say every cloud has a silver lining and this particular cloud could be tinged with gold as well.
