Horoscope: Saturday, Apr 25

A friend or family member will confide in you today and you must keep what they tell you a secret. It may seem like no big deal to you but from their point of view it is a matter of life and death importance, so don’t betray their trust.

You have nothing to fear and everything to look forward to, so why are you so determined to take a negative view of life? You need to understand that bad thoughts can sometimes lead to bad things. Think positive Aries, today and every day.

If you wake up this morning and want nothing more than to stay under the sheets and cuddle a little longer, know that you aren't alone, Taurus. There is a sensitive warmth about the day that's making you feel vulnerable. Make sure to surround yourself with supportive people today. Harsh words are likely to cut more deeply than usual, making you wish you'd just stayed in bed all day.

No doubt you feel you could take on the world and win but common sense should tell you how unlikely that is. You are at your most vulnerable when you feel so absurdly over-confident, so tone down your expectations while keeping your guard up!

Upsets in the home could occur today, Cancer. You and other members of your household are on edge and liable to snap at the least provocation. Someone could get all flustered over a minor problem and storm out. Don't worry. At day's end everyone should see events in their proper perspective and all be friends again. Hang in there.

A social event or group meeting could ignite your enthusiasm about new goals, Leo. These goals may involve giving you a chance to use your creative talents as well as enjoy the companionship and camaraderie of your fellow group members. Therefore, whatever events are scheduled today might all prove to be both satisfying and enjoyable for you. Don't hesitate! Move on ahead, do something worthwhile, and enjoy yourself.

Don’t take on any new tasks today because you are doing too much already. The Sun in the wellbeing area of your chart means you must arrange your schedule so you create more rest time for yourself, not so you do more for other people.

Try not to give others the impression that their aims bore you. Even if it is true you need to look interested because at some point in the very near future you will need their assistance. You won’t get it if they think you no longer care.

Your first duty is always to yourself, because if you are not happy and in good health then you won’t be able to assist those who rely on you. So don’t feel guilty if you have to let someone down today. You can make it up to them later.

You may be right in thinking that you know what is best for other people, but you don’t have the right to force them. You need to get your head round that fact today or you could end up in a huge – and hugely unnecessary – row.

The positive effects of yesterday’s Sun-Jupiter link are still with you, so whatever challenges come your way today they won’t faze you in the slightest. But you must not allow yourself to get over-confident. You’re good but you’re not invincible.

The only danger for you as the new week begins is that you might respond to provocation in an extreme way, which is sure to have consequences. On the work front especially you are advised to take nothing too seriously, for your own sake.

Something of a financial nature will be of increasing importance to you over the next few weeks and you need to make sure right from the start that you are committed to it 100 per cent. It’s very much an all or nothing situation.

The world, or at least the small part of it that you inhabit, will somehow seem brighter today. This is because Venus, planet of harmony, is very much on your side at the moment. Relationships, especially, will run more smoothly than usual.

If you help someone in need over the next few days it will do them good and it will do you good as well. The universe always gives back in proportion to what you give out, so be generous with your friendship – and everyone will benefit.

You'll find that your spark can easily turn potential energy into kinetic energy, Aquarius. Don't underestimate the power of your words. Realize the profound impact they have on others and take responsibility for their consequences. Try to use them sparingly if you can. Speak half as much as you normally would, but make each sentence resonate twice as powerfully.

Forget about the past, it is over and done with and no longer matters. As Pisces is such a sensitive sign you have a tendency to dwell on things that were said and done that you now regret. There’s no point. Let it go. Live only for today.

The time has come to let those you live and work with – especially the latter – know where you are coming from and where you intend to go between now and the end of the year. Don’t let anyone undermine your ambitions. Be positive Pisces!
