Horoscope: Tuesday, Apr 14

Try not to make a big deal of something that, in all probability, you will forget about in a few days anyway. Almost certainly you are reading too much into a situation that is nothing out of the ordinary. Relax and let it pass.

You may have to postpone something you were looking forward to today but come the end of the week you will be glad you were forced to change. The universe knows better than you do what direction your life is destined to take.

You may be the center of attention at the moment but don’t let it go to your head. The people singing your praises now are just as likely to be criticizing you later in the week, so keep a sense of perspective, and keep your self-respect.

No matter how tough the past few months have been the entry of Mars into your sign today means you will be on top of things again in no time. Focus only on what is of most importance to you. Your own needs must always come first.

If you've been striving for success in the field of writing, speaking, or publishing, Cancer, you have the chance for a real breakthrough today. A large sum of money or an opportunity to earn it in one of these fields might come your way, and you'll definitely want to take advantage of it. It may involve legal papers, such as contracts. This definitely boosts your ego, your mood, and your motivation.

Today there are many areas in which you can shine, Leo. You need only be yourself to win over the hearts of others. There is a graciousness to your manner that draws people close to you, whether or not you've ever noticed it before. Realize this, and know that it isn't a fluke. You need not take much action. It will come to you.

An unexpected letter could arrive today, Virgo, with a check enclosed, perhaps a gift, bonus, or offer to make more money. This might be a welcome break, possibly coming at a time when you really need it. If it's work, don't worry about the time involved. You'll be able to finish it quickly and efficiently. It might lead to more offers in the future.

A creative activity of some sort is sure to go well for you, but only if you start it immediately. Libra has a tendency to put things off until the last moment but if you do that today it’s unlikely the project will ever get finished. Start now!

You made a few mistakes in 2017 but none of them were game changers and all of them in some way or other made you stronger. Now you need to take that strength and put it to good use. How can you change the world for the better?

Your natural psychic or intuitive abilities could be short-circuited today, Scorpio. Interference from the minds of other people could cloud issues, and this won't do you any good. Your imaginative faculties could be rather garbled as well. The best possible advice would be to take the day for your own needs. You can go back to your usual routine tomorrow.

If you're taking a trip any time soon, Sagittarius, you can expect to experience a powerful attraction for someone you meet along the way. This will definitely make your journey more interesting; however, the friendship might not survive the trip. You may be from opposite sides of the country, and one or both of you could be involved with other people. Nonetheless, if neither of those restrictions applies, it's worth pursuing. Go for it!

Your natural warmth and loving nature should be more apparent than usual today, Capricorn. You're likely to attract new people, both men and women, into your aura. Perhaps old friends you haven't seen for a while suddenly reappear on the scene. This is an excellent time to plan a social event or invite a friend to lunch. You might also want to fix yourself up and plan a romantic evening!

The planets indicate that if you are prepared to take risks and if you believe in your abilities then everything is possible for you. Saturn’s retrograde move will inevitably bring doubts but if you ignore them they won’t hold you back for long.

You might find yourself sidestepping in order to avoid a commitment today, Pisces. Don't keep giving someone the runaround. Be strong and let people know your thoughts even if you think their feelings will be hurt. Your job is to protect your emotions. Other people can handle their own. Be aggressive if you have to be. Your own sanity depends on you being true to yourself.
