Horoscopes
Aries
Very good energy is with you today for doing something non-routine, creative, and fulfilling, Aries. The key to success now is to slow yourself down a little so that you can let inspiration in! You might work happily towards a creative goal, a dream, or riding on some form of inspired feeling. This is a good time for insight into finances, money-making ideas, and enterprises that benefit from design. You could find that support happens behind the scenes, that you get things done in solitude, or that you are happiest pursuing private goals. Later today, however, there is a tendency to stir up some trouble or to act on a whim. Don’t let this counter the progress you’ve made today.
Taurus
You’ve been going a little harder than usual with Mars in your sign these days, Taurus. Today, you benefit from slowing down a little in order to let your imagination and intuition into the equation. It’s a strong day to turn on the charm, but more importantly, to take the lead gently, to inspire trust in the people you love, and to follow your inspirations. Consciously let go of the pressure you’ve been feeling to guide or control your day. Later today, there is some tendency to feel a little rebellious or to pull yourself back as soon as you have what you want. Try to tame this reflex. Instead, look within and decide what it is that’s making you feel lacking or restless.
Gemini
You are considerably less interested in the practical and material worlds today, Gemini, and more tuned in to your dreams, hopes, and wishes. If you have an idea or dream you want to share, it’s a good time to do so. Physically winding down actually helps intuition to move in and benefits you greatly today. Even so, if you suddenly become inspired to follow a creative hunch or idea and you have the chance to do so, take it. It can be a wonderfully creative and inspired day. Later today, even if someone brings up something from your past that throws you for a loop, try to stay centered and calm, and treat it as a surprise rather than an interruption.
Cancer
Today, you might find that you’re the source of inspiration for, or inspired by, friends, Cancer. Activities that require or inspire imagination can flourish right now, and factual activities requiring attention to detail, perhaps less so. If you can, try to take a break from the usual routine, which can redirect you in helpful ways along professional or personal lines. Listen, observe, and then follow your heart. Later today, there can be some elements of surprise introduced into your day, and although this can be disruptive on some level, it can also lead to new ideas or even breakthroughs in thinking about matters from the past.
Leo
Slowing down today makes more sense than it may first seem, dear Leo, as it can allow your intuition to work its magic. Ultimately, this helps you to move forward, if not faster, in a better place. If possible (and if this doesn’t already come naturally), try to focus on work that is imaginative, creative, and non-routine. Creative ideas and hunches may very well lead to important discoveries. Research can be rewarding, particularly if you’re doing work based on a hunch or sudden inspiration. Later today, you may be feeling a little restless or conflicted about a friendship.
Virgo
This is an important day for finding ways to slow down or wind down, Virgo. A Mars-Neptune aspect points to benefits from incorporating the imagination or intuition into your plans and endeavors. Disengage from stressful or tense thoughts and feelings as much as possible. Regroup emotionally but involve others or make it physical. Creative pursuits and/or physical activities that help you to release tension or express your emotions are all favored now. Later today, however, it can be a little too easy to feel unsettled regarding a relationship or work matter.
Libra
Setting your own pace, if this is possible, can do you very well today, Libra, with a positive relationship between energetic Mars and spiritual Neptune. Doing the same old things could be harder to take, or a waste of opportunities. You do not feel very sharp, competitive, or aggressive at this time. You might decide to go lightly on the usual routine or ease up on hot pursuit of your goals today, and enjoy something colorful, imaginative, or creative instead. Inner guidance can be better accessed today, and is likely to lead you on the right path. This can lead to inspired research or the uncovering of helpful information. Later today, however, you may be inclined to back off from something you wanted and got. There is some fickleness experienced now.
Scorpio
You are a little more yielding today, Scorpio, and this may be appreciated by a partner or love interest. Creativity can blossom right now, particularly when you combine your resources with someone. For some of you, there can be a romantic or friend connection made that feels a little fated or meant to be. Others might feel closer to existing friends or partners, and possibly even to a creative project or inspired idea. This is a day for easing back on direct action and allowing your faith or inner guide take the lead. Later today, there may be some problems counting on others. Try to treat interruptions or changes of schedule as unimportant in the long run.
Sagittarius
Slowing down or taking the time to cater to or support someone in your life can be beneficial today, Sagittarius, and can in fact help restore the give-and-take balance in a relationship or reduce stress in your daily life. Non-verbal communication works well today – it may very well be in what you do or how you do it that makes all the difference. There can be inspired thinking that almost magically leads you to helpful information or other benefits. You might also instinctively know how to better manage family or co-worker relationships. Later today, there can be some distance or rebellion in your love life to deal with, but it’s temporary. You may very well simply need a small change of pace.
Capricorn
You may instinctively take a break from direct or hurried pursuit of your goals, Capricorn, and this can benefit you greatly. In fact, slowing down or taking a break can help intuition to kick in, and this can at the very least reduce stress. Ideally, it points you in a new, more creative or fulfilling direction. Projects that benefit from creativity, imagination, inspired design, or artistic touches can be in focus now. Your natural charm is boosted with a calmer, more accepting and easygoing manner. The desire to share your joy with others is enhanced. Later today, however, it can be difficult to satisfy an itch if you don’t know where it’s coming from. Examine what it is about your routines or daily life that needs a bit of revamping or updating.
Aquarius
Some form of retreat, relaxation, or spiritual escape would be very nice right now, Aquarius, and the good news is that a Mars-Neptune aspect today could facilitate this. There are many different possibilities for satisfying the need to do something different, to slow down and appreciate the calmer pace, or to help others out in order to boost up their spirits. You are more inclined to savor the moments, and you might encourage others to do the same. Try not to look at the problem areas or flaws of your life unless you are emotionally equipped to solve them at a slower, more leisurely pace than you’ve been accustomed to. Family relationships can actually improve with a more accepting, easygoing, and relaxed attitude. Later today, the pace may not be quite so enjoyable, so take advantage.
Pisces
You can really feel in tune with the energy of the day, Pisces, and especially in the first half of the day when the pace is easygoing and leisurely. You can feel more intuitively connected with others, particularly friends and acquaintances, and might enjoy a pleasant surprise in the world of networking. Relationships in general are in good form right now. There can be intuitive understanding that feels good. You are both sensitive and enthusiastic, and this rare combination boosts your personal magnetism. Presenting your ideas can be especially successful now. Later today, however, can have you following a whim.

Description: Transiting Mars Sextile Transiting Neptune
We need a break from the usual routine and from pushing ourselves ahead. We might be taking action towards filling a dream or from inspiration. We are not inclined to follow rigid rules, directions, and schedules, but tend to follow our intuition or inner guidance/gut feelings.
ARIES STRONG
Initiating, pioneering energy. Independent, bold, courageous, assertive, fiery, inspirational, direct, decisive. Can be egotistical, impulsive, impatient, aggressive, lacking subtlety.
CAPRICORN STRONG
Disciplined, responsible, reliable, industrious, conscientious, practical, achieving. Can be pessimistic, overly conventional, rigid, materialistic, callous.
FIRE STRONG
Fire is enthusiastic, dynamic, and spontaneous, but lacks reflection. We are more courageous and adventurous now, with a tendency to act before thinking. There is little concern about what happened in the past. We are competitive and possibly impatient or bored easily.
AIR WEAK
We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.
WATER WEAK
There may be some insensitivity or lack of empathy now. We may be out of touch with what we’re feeling or with our emotional needs. We may be tougher than usual now, and more inclined to follow mental or practical considerations than we are to listen to our intuition.
CARDINAL STRONG
We are ready to take action and to take on challenges, and can become frustrated with stagnant conditions.
LUNAR PHASE: THIRD QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 45 degrees behind the Sun.
We have strong beliefs and are likely to put them into action. We have the wisdom to know when to act, but sometimes can be inflexible.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 12th:
Note that when an aspect is applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.
Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
**I suggest paying close attention to applying aspects. The energy of the aspect builds as it gets closer to exact. Once an aspect has happened, it’s over. Separating aspects are good to know for context, but in terms of energy that is with us today, applying aspects are most important. (This is the case for daily astrology influences involving inner planets, which pass quickly, and not natal astrology aspects, which are with us for a life time).
