Horoscope: Sunday, Apr 12

Don't be surprised if you run into a few emotional roadblocks today, Aries. People could be quite stubborn and difficult to deal with. You may exacerbate the situation by trying to get a rise out of someone with your boisterous attitude and dramatic flair. If your efforts don't yield positive results, back off. Keep your energy to yourself and share it another time when people are more in the mood to play.

It is time to embark on a brand new adventure. Before you do though you must let those who think you are taking too many risks know that you have no intention of changing your ways. A Taurus never backtracks once they have started.

Yes, it is better to look for a compromise solution rather than risk a feud dragging on forever, but there is a danger this weekend that you will give too much ground. Decide what you can and cannot live with and refuse to go any further.

You need to remind certain people that, while you may be of a mind to forgive and forget, you won’t allow yourself to be used. If someone takes liberties this weekend come down on them hard. It will send a message to all your rivals.

Family issues will take up much of your time and energy this weekend and you will need to give your nearest and dearest a great deal of affectionate attention. Put your own interests on hold for a while. Love unconditionally and love often.

Strange, passionate stirrings could find you wanting to escape from civilization with a lover, Cancer. This is a great day for it. At least plan a quiet evening at home with your special someone. You might also want to satisfy other sensual cravings, such as a desire for delicious food, drink, or comfortable chairs or beds. Flow with it. We all need a little self-indulgence now and then!

Life is a game and if you keep that fact in mind today you won’t go far wrong. More importantly, you won’t get too upset when you see that others are not doing the things that you want them to do. It’s a game for them as well.

A partnership issue you thought had been put to bed will surface again this week and to say the least you won’t be happy about it. This time though you can resolve the situation once and for all. Do what has to be done without rancor or regret.

It may seem as if you are the only one in the world who is being put under pressure but, of course, that isn’t true. What is true, however, is that the challenges you face require you to be both brave and bold. Go for it Virgo!

You may find that today brings great physical strength and energy, Virgo. You may want to do some really challenging, physical work. This is the day for it, so why not go to it? Do some yard work or clean out closets, cupboards, drawers, and filing cabinets. Consider donating items that you don't use anymore or plan a garage sale to make a couple bucks.

You may feel a strong need to express your individuality, Libra. You don't want to blend into the herd, unseen as you walk down the street. You want to be the sheep with the blue wool, the person skipping instead of walking. Find a place or group that lets you be yourself and not worry about what other people think about your style. Your originality is inspiring. Don't squelch it.

It will take all your powers of self-control not to respond to someone who gives you a hard time or who says things about you that are false. According to the planets they are hoping you will bite back so they can start a fight. Don’t fall for it.

The safest course of action today is to believe that what you are being told is only half the story. Someone is trying to confuse you by making a big issue of one thing while ignoring a more important topic. Don’t let them get away with it.

You may be tempted to go on a spree today and over the weekend but if you do you will most likely regret it. They say that a fool and his money are soon parted, so wise up and make sure no one gets rich at your expense.

Don’t keep your feelings to yourself over the next few days, let everyone know what is going on in your heart. You may think that by baring your soul you make yourself vulnerable but in fact, the opposite is the case. Honesty makes you stronger.

If someone tries to convince you to invest in a scheme you don’t know much about you are strongly advised to give it a miss. With mind planet Mercury under the influence of Jupiter there is a real danger you are not thinking straight!

A neighbor or relative might volunteer to help you with some chores around the house, Aquarius, but you could sense that his or her heart isn't in it. This person is probably thinking about things and just needs some kind words and a little advice. Just accept that even though you have help, you'll probably end up doing most of the work yourself. Offer what support you can, and think of it as good karma.

Do what has to be done today but don’t let other people shift their workload on to your shoulders. You may be one of the nice guys of the zodiac but if colleagues and employers start taking you for a fool it could be you’re being too nice.

It is even more important than usual to avoid stressful situations, especially if you are the sort of Pisces who gets upset too easily. On the work front, in particular, you must not let aggressive people annoy you. Stay cool, stay calm and stay in control.
