Horoscope: Saturday, Apr 26

There's a lot of tension in the air today, Aries. Perhaps you feel like no one is listening to you, and that people are draining your energy. You may act defensively and even occasionally become very angry. It's possible that no one has seen in you in such a state before. Don't be afraid to express your anger. Repressed anger is like poison for your body and soul.

You can and you should be an inspiration to those around you over the next 48 hours. The fact is others look up to you as the kind of person who gets things done, who never gives in, who has self-belief. How you wish it were true!

Anyone who thinks they can cheat you and get away with it is in for a rude awakening over the coming week. As one of the zodiac’s fixed signs you will see to it one way or another that you give as good as you get. Watch out world!

Has it been difficult these past few days to communicate with those close to you? Are you a little skeptical about your charm? In fact, have you been feeling somewhat unsure of yourself in general? The day ahead is excellent for a fresh start. You're full of confidence. You have a natural gift for diplomacy, and your sense of refinement will once again be noticed and appreciated.

While other people may be confused and distressed, you're actually the one with all the answers, Cancer. Indeed, you're best equipped to deal with the difficult situations that are likely to arise on a day like this. You have the ability to see through thick walls that others erect as barriers. Nothing will stop your penetrating eyes from seeing someone else's deceit.

The ride may get a bit bumpy today but if you wait for the turbulence to pass you will find you are none the worse for the experience. If others want to get upset that’s up to them – you are under no obligation to follow their lead.

By all means approach someone in a position of authority over the next 24 hours but make sure you know what you are going to say before you introduce yourself. First impressions are always important and never more so than now.

Today you might feel especially protective toward all those you love: children, family, friends, pets, and the special person in your life, Virgo. Upsetting news might have you wondering about the future, but don't let it get you down. All should be well, so allow yourself to relax and enjoy your loved ones. Distract yourself by going to an exciting movie. That will help release tension and put you in a better frame of mind.

This is an important time for relationships and Mercury’s move into your opposite sign may bring some unwelcome news. But if you look on the bright side and look for ways to turn this development around it could still work in your favor.

If you let your anger get the better of you today it could be you who suffers the most as a result. As one of those pleasant, balanced Libra types people expect you to stay calm and won’t be impressed if you lose your head.

Don’t waste time and energy trying to explain to other people why you had to do certain things because if they don’t “get it” by now chances are they never will. Just do what you feel is right and be ready to live with the consequences.

The Sun in the communications area of your chart will help you get your message across. Keep what you have to say simple and to the point, because you want as many people as possible to understand your message. Don’t be afraid to repeat yourself either.

Some things take years to change, while others change in the blink of an eye. What changes today may catch you unprepared but you are flexible enough to adapt to the new reality. Others won’t be so fortunate, so help them if you can.

Everyone makes mistakes – yes even a Capricorn – so don’t get annoyed with yourself if you made a wrong move or took a wrong turning yesterday when the moon was full. Chances are you will be able to put right the situation today.

You don’t have to feel guilty about going out and having a good time. Sometimes it’s good to get away from duties and chores and this week’s eclipse means you have every right and every reason to put a bit of fun back into your life.

Some people are making an issue of matters that mean nothing to you and you must let them know that you have no intention of getting involved. That applies to your private life as much as it does to your work. You don’t have to play silly games.

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.

Other people may try to wield their power even when it isn't their place. This is one time when people may try to show off their IQ by offering random facts that don't offer anything useful to the situation at hand but just serve to prove their knowledge of esoteric trivia. Try not to buy into other people's displays of power, Pisces. There's more than likely a great deal of hype and not much substance.
