Horoscope: Wednesday, Apr 15

You must not allow your emotions to influence what should be a purely logical decision today. The planets indicate that if you focus on what is truly important and keep personal feelings to a minimum then your needs will be taken care of.

You may be hurting on the inside but on the outside try to make it look as if you don’t have a care in the world. Put on a brave face, go out and have fun and before you know it your worries and woes will be in the past.

The Sun’s entry into the money area of your chart this weekend will help you find new sources of income so you can pay off what you owe. But money isn’t everything, of course. Compared to love and laughter it’s hugely overrated.

One disadvantage of attics is that so much junk tends to get stored up there. Today is the day for you to clean house. You've been putting this off long enough and now must face the dust and debris in your own personal attic. Whether it's emotional messes that need cleaning up or business matters that beg for attention, know that you will be hurting yourself and your future prospects if you delay any longer.

Tasks of any kind are all likely to seem like the labors of Hercules today, Cancer. Overwork and nerve strain could have you feeling a little bit under the weather today, and it might be a good idea for you to take some time alone to rest. If you can't do that, at least try to take things easy. Some unexpected changes in your community might have your neighbors' tongues wagging. Be sure to check out the facts before jumping to any conclusions.

Because you have such an expansive mind it’s the little things in life that tend to annoy you the most. One such minor problem will nag at you this week and it won’t leave you alone until you do something about it. It should only take a few minutes.

You don’t have to act on the assumption that everyone you deal with wants to cheat you. The planets indicate that even if you do lose out today it won’t be by much, so stop worrying and start living the right way – without fear.

As Mercury, your ruler, moves into the area of your chart associated with how you think and how you communicate you won’t have just one good idea, you’ll have dozens! Make a list of them but don’t try to do them all at the same time!

Make sure others know what you will and will not put up with in life. One of the reasons there have been so many arguments of late is that you have allowed some people to act like children. It’s time to be the adult in the room.

Romance intensifies as communication is enhanced by the energy, enthusiasm, and focus of you and your partner, Scorpio. If you aren't already involved, you might meet someone new and exciting who shares your interests, and perhaps doesn't live all that far away. Expect to make a lot of short trips in your neighborhood, perhaps visiting friends or neighbors. If you've been thinking of moving, you might do a little house hunting.

At some stage this weekend you will have to accept that a relationship is no longer worth fighting for. That may sound rather negative but the fact is you have been holding on to it for too long. Let it go and learn to fly again.

This is a time for looking into the future and deciding how you want the world to see you a year, five years or even ten years from now. Visualize what it is you most want to accomplish, then start doing the things that will bring it about.

A change in career could be in the works for you, Capricorn. It might be within the scope of your current job or an entirely new one. It's definitely a change for the better. Don't let insecurity or an attachment to your current circumstances hold you back. Whatever opportunities appear at this time may not come around again for a long while. Think about it carefully and then follow your heart.

You may not be able to explain logically why you are reluctant to try something new but deep down you know it would be a mistake. Mind planet Mercury will be fooling quite a few people today, but you don’t have to be one of them.

Don’t hold back out of suspicion or fear – get out into the world and get stuck in to whatever activity takes your fancy. You may or may not only get the one life but don’t risk looking back one day and wishing you had done more.

Too often in the past you have relied on other people to realize your dreams, giving them power over you that they do not deserve. Now you must go right the other way and take what you want for yourself. No one will complain – they would not dare!
