Horoscope: Friday, Apr 4

Uneasy feelings may be plaguing you throughout the day, Aries. There could appear to be no valid reason for this. Everything seems to be going well for you, and no one close to you has anything heavy going on. It's probably nothing Earthshaking. You may just be intuitively picking up on the troubles and anxieties of people you pass on the street. Your intuition is high today, so you could psychically sense just about anything. Hang in there!

New communications equipment may make whatever work you do that much easier to do, Taurus. You might have some doubts about your ability to use it, but don't worry. You'll be able to deal with it as well as anyone. You'll find that it will open up new doors for you, both with regard to compiling information and staying in contact with old and new friends. Go to it!

Once again you seem to be worrying about something that you have no way of changing — which is pointless. Fate will guide you in whatever direction you are destined to take, so stop worrying, sit back and enjoy the ride. It WILL be fun!

You may have gotten yourself tangled up in a deep mental drama over a series of recent incidents, Cancer. Your mind may be working overtime in order to solve the riddles. It's quite possible that the reality of the situation is that you're simply making a big deal over nothing. Today is one of those days in which you will face the harsh reality that comes as a consequence of your over-the-top thinking.

An unexpected opportunity to take a short trip could present itself today, Leo. Hop on that boat or train and see where it goes. If you have no real reason to travel, make one up. You don't need one anyway. The point is that it's time to get away from your current surroundings and explore other ways of living. If the time isn't right for you to get out and travel, at least make a plan now for a trip later.

A male friend could introduce you to people from foreign countries or people who have traveled a lot. They might have valuable information that you could use later. This information could also help you finish old projects that have been waiting to be done. Your eye for detail is especially acute, Virgo. Make notes of interesting facts even if they don't apply right now. You'll make good use of them later.

Relationships generally are going well for you now but you need to spend more time making sure your domestic affairs run smoothly. A surprising discovery will make you realize that family members have been keeping things from you. Find out why.

There is no point dwelling on what you see as your failures. There is nothing you can do now to change them, so put them out of your mind and move on to the next step in your grand plan. You don’t have a grand plan? Well you should!

Other people might have a hard time navigating through the day, thanks to the intensity and corruption that's likely to surface. You have nothing to worry about, Scorpio, because your adaptable nature is perfectly suited to dealing with the stubborn forces that are likely to rear their heads. This is a good time to clean out your closet and throw away things you no longer need. Be ruthless.

Don’t wait for the good things in life to come to you – go out and claim them for yourself. Whatever you choose to begin over the next few days can bring the kind of success you have only dreamed of in the past, but you must be bold.

Try not to make any hard and fast decisions today or over the weekend. The planets warn if you commit yourself to something now you may not be able to back out of it later on, at least not without paying a very stiff penalty.

Don’t worry if you appear to be losing ground to rivals on the work front. Most likely it isn’t true but even if it is you will catch up with them again later on. Stick to the course you have chosen and give it time to bear fruit.

You need to rethink something of a creative nature that you had hoped would work but can now recognize is not going to evolve to the point where you are happy with it. It’s no big deal – you can easily upgrade what you have already done.

To get the best out of people this weekend you will need to use an emotional, rather than a logical, approach. If you appeal to their passions, as well as their sense of fair play, you will soon have them working together like a well-oiled machine.

Employers and other important people have been hugely demanding of late and, for the most part, you have managed to raise your game and impress them. But you know there is one more thing you need to do to enhance your reputation. Do it now.

You may think that you are indestructible but what you see or hear in the world at large over the next 24 hours will remind you of your own mortality. Use that reminder to inform your choices and make every moment of your life count.

There will be times over the next few days when you wonder if maybe you have taken on more than you can handle. Maybe you have, but it would be a mistake to change course this late in the day. Deal with challenges as and when they arise.
