Horoscope: Wednesday, Apr 8

You will need to act swiftly and decisively during the early part of the new week, especially if you want to make money. You are not the only one who is hoping for a quick profit, so be ready to do your stuff at a moment’s notice.

Sometimes opposites really do attract and what occurs today and over the weekend will remind you that you should never turn someone away just because their outlook and interests are different to your own. A magical new relationship is about to begin.

If you want to move up in the world, if you want your name to be on everyone’s lips, now is the time to do something dramatic. You have so many skills to call on but they won’t do you much good until you actually start to use them.

You may feel that someone you work or do business with has let you down and deserves to feel the edge of your tongue, but ask yourself: will it make the situation better or worse? Bite your lip and do what you can to improve things together.

If you own your own home, Gemini, you may learn today that its value has increased substantially. If you don't own a home but want to buy one, this is the time to start looking. Any investments made now, particularly in land, will probably be solid and apt to gain in value, although results might take some time to materialize. Carefully consider all contingencies before committing, however. This isn't the time to act impulsively.

Is your significant other uncertain about spending much time with you today, Cancer? You may be hurt at first, as your honey could feel obligated to spend some private time with family members. You should be able to get together as you hoped. Just don't expect it to be for the whole day. Spend your alone time relaxing and sprucing yourself up.

The Sun is now established in your sign and that means you can and you must draw a line under the past and forget about yesterday’s regrets and failures. Live in the moment each and every day and build a future you can be proud of.

You may be tempted to give up on something that is taking up a great deal of time and energy but don’t be hasty. Today’s Mercury-Jupiter link warns you could change your mind about it tomorrow, so play for time and give your head time to sort itself out.

Try not to think of yourself as separate from other people or you will feel cut off from what is going on around you. Remind yourself today that we are all part of a greater whole and that none of us can ever be truly alone.

You may have to adapt to other people’s plans today but it’s no big deal. Sit back and let friends and work colleagues call the shots. One way or another you will end up in the right place, so why work up a sweat when you don’t have to?

A relationship seems to be functioning a lot better now but don’t get carried away and start believing that you no longer need to make an effort. Having worked so hard to get back in someone’s good books you must work just as hard to stay there.

You will get a lot done over the next few days but your efforts will be so much more productive if you limit yourself to just one or two major tasks. Your creative potential is huge at the moment but needs to be focussed in a single direction.

You may want nothing more than to cut yourself off from the noise and chaos of the world but that isn’t going to happen. You have no choice now but to get more deeply involved in what is going on around you. Be the one who brings change.

What feels right to you may not feel right to other people and you need to recognize and accept that fact. This is a good time to resolve an issue that has been causing tension on the home front, but you must look at it from all angles.

You will see or hear something this weekend that makes you want to get involved in a friend’s private affairs but that is a very bad idea. Unless you are expressly asked for assistance you must keep your distance – that is if you want to stay friends.

Why are you worrying so much about your money situation? Yes, it’s true, it could be better but with Mars now moving into the main financial area of your chart you can find ways to improve your cashflow situation. Try spending less too!

A new phase in your life is beginning, Aquarius. The previous phase could be interpreted as having taught you to be serious and devoted to professional responsibilities. And you did accomplish some good deeds to boot. Now you can relax and look ahead to what's next. Let yourself feel the welcome tug of the future.

You may feel smothered by certain individuals and loved ones who hang on you like barnacles on a rock, Pisces. You're a big part of their emotional support system and they rely on you for strength. Today, however, you could get frustrated by this extra weight. You'll more than likely want to rip those barnacles off in order to give you more breathing room. Freedom from others' emotional baggage is the key for today.
