Horoscopes
Aries
You could be feeling criticized or minimized today, Aries, and some of you could be feeling a little disappointed in someone in your life. With Venus opposing Saturn across your communications sector, you may be facing the need to make a change in the structure of a project, which could be time-consuming, today or this week. With difficult Saturn in play, a useful strategy is to keep your head down, consider the details of your pursuits carefully, do your homework, and get the job done, all the while avoiding what people are doing and thinking, or not doing and not thinking! It’s no small feat, but prioritizing is best as you get over a hump. Also consider that most people are a little more sensitive to what they may perceive as rejection or other such disappointments and limits.
Taurus
You could come to a perhaps discouraging realization today or this week, dear Taurus, likely having to do with money, business, or your intimate life. You could feel blocked or opposed, possibly by a partner or by limits to your freedom to seek pleasure, make a purchase, or pursue a particular goal. For some, there may be a bit of a blow to the self-esteem today. If an epiphany comes now, look at your discovery from a practical angle. If you choose to ignore them, circumstances may be such that they’re revealed to you anyhow, and it’s always a little more empowering to be the one in charge. Remember that it’s usually much better to know where you stand than to nurse an illusion that will eventually expose itself as unreal, even if it is initially a bit of a downer.
Gemini
Venus in your sign these days gives you a nice boost, Gemini, but there can be times when your wonderful manner turns a little too me-centered, or when others close to you feel a little threatened by the attention you’re receiving from elsewhere. Today, Venus is moving towards an opposition to Saturn, and you can feel blocked or limited, and possibly reminded of responsibilities that get in the way of your personal goals. You could be seeing someone in your life as a downer or heavy, too strict or unyielding. Recognize your own need for structure and rules in your relationships, and meet others halfway for best results.
Cancer
Venus opposes Saturn across your health and wellness axis, dear Cancer, and this can bring an epiphany or realization that may temporarily deflate or demotivate you. There can be a reality check of sorts occurring now, and you might be facing reticence or inhibitions in others, and especially a partner. A new responsibility can arise, or a problem that you thought had been handled and part of the past can emerge. People in your life seem a little heavier or possibly critical. However, knowing where you stand is the result, and this is an empowering position. Aim to push through your work and do what needs to be done. Priorities make themselves clear.
Leo
There can be conflicting desires and feelings experienced today, Leo, with Venus opposite Saturn bringing a reality to light about your social or love life. You want to break free from limiting and restricting situations, but you may not want to deal with disapproval from others and the lack of security associated with more freedom. There can be a sense that others are slowing you down, or they may very well be letting you down. If you are unhappy in your personal life, this feeling might be brought to the surface today. There could be focus on a past romance. For some, a project suddenly seems more demanding than it once did, but if it’s worth your time, then you’ll put the extra effort forth.
Virgo
With Venus and Saturn moving towards an opposition, Virgo, there can be a disappointment or reality check to deal with. Even so, whatever emerges now, it can get you into a more empowered position. This is a time for putting the work in. Try not to expect immediate rewards. If people are letting you down, consider focusing on your own needs and filling them. If you approach others radiating happiness rather than neediness, they are less likely to turn you away. Even so, today is better for keeping a low profile and tending to your responsibilities. You’ll feel better once you do take care of your priorities.
Libra
You can have a strong desire to do new things and to escape the usual routine with Venus in your adventure sector these days, Libra. However, your ruler, Venus, is moving into an opposition with limiting Saturn, and responsibilities to your daily affairs, errands, and other duties and tasks can suddenly increase. There can be the realization of something that disappoints you, or of an unfinished duty that requires attention. Try not to succumb to the feeling of being overwhelmed, as that might lead to more procrastination. You may need to put in extra work to get your duties out of the way, but you’ll be in a much better place once you do.
Scorpio
Venus comes into opposition with Saturn in your values sector, Scorpio, and you could discover a financial problem that can overwhelm you at first. Ultimately, however, the extra work you put in fixing past mistakes can make a big difference when it comes to future success. People who disagree with you or who are not sharing your values can be bothersome, and you can be more sensitive to these things than usual. Fears about money or security can be stimulated today. Do not sell yourself short today. Face a reality that surfaces, make adjustments, and pick yourself back up. If a partner is similarly overwhelmed or particularly sensitive, give them space or choose to help out one another. Attention should be on fixing problems, not avoiding them any further.
Sagittarius
You could find that people close to you annoy you or seem a little too carefree as you take on all the burdens and responsibilities with Saturn in your sign, Sagittarius, opposing Venus. People may be getting in your way or demanding attention that you’d rather direct towards more practical tasks. Avoid criticizing or withholding. Attempting to restrict others is not the way to go, either. Do what you can to loosen up, and surround yourself with people who accept you just as you are. Try not to take yourself too seriously today, but if you need extra time to tend to sudden responsibilities or problems, don’t feel badly about asking for the space to do so.
Capricorn
With Saturn in your solar twelfth house forming difficult aspects, Capricorn, if your heart isn’t in what you’re doing, you can literally feel tired or sick. Mental and physical health are linked, but especially so right now, and quite possibly in a disruptive way. Get your priorities straight and deal with your responsibilities, as these seem inescapable right now and in fact will make you feel stronger, but don’t go along with things you don’t truly need or want to do out of guilt. Overburdening yourself is a tendency now, but you should try your best to avoid so doing.
Aquarius
You may feel somewhat put off by people in your social circle today, Aquarius. Love matters can be disappointing, or you could be focusing on problems of the past, or come to an epiphany about a past relationship. Superficiality and social niceties can be particularly frustrating to deal with right now, and you may very well do better if you take some space for yourself. Sociable, attractive Venus is in your romance and play sector these days, and this is an easy, flowing position, but its opposition to Saturn today could point to burdens that present you from loosening up.
Pisces
This can be a rather touchy day, Pisces. Responsibilities or problems that have been neglected or overlooked in the past have a way of surfacing now for your immediate attention. You are more inclined to see the glass half empty, as are people around you, and especially authority figures, teachers, parents, or bosses. Responsibilities can feel particularly burdensome. People may be criticizing more than supporting, so aim to make yourself happy first and foremost. Stick with your plans and priorities and build up a thicker skin if you’re not quite ready to fix problems.

Behavior and desires are at odds with our higher goals. We might take on too much now, or our impatience can interfere with success (haste makes waste). In order to take advantage of new opportunities to achieve our desires, we have to let go of some wilfulness and expectations.

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 14th:
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).
