Aries
Pre-existing problems in close relationships can be working close to the surface today, Aries, and undermining healthy interactions, possibly interfering with work and duties as well. While this may not be the last time you deal with a struggle between personal and professional responsibilities this month, this one can really get you going. You may be feeling bitter and resentful if people have been overstepping their bounds, but many of you could be frustrated with a situation, not a person involved, as there can be a difficult problem emerging or coming to a head now that’s nobody’s fault per se, but that is overwhelming nonetheless. Entertain the idea that blocks to plans encountered now can lead you to make important, more realistic and reasonable refinements. There can be a one step forward, two steps back feel to the day, but keep in mind that you’re likely gaining more than it seems.
Taurus
Today’s energies are mixed, Taurus. On one hand, you can have easy, flowing conversations that seem to open up doors to healing. On the other, there can be a sense that you’re not able to fully express yourself or do what you want to do, largely due to others’ watchful/critical eyes, or your own feelings of guilt or insecurity. Where it concerns money and valuables, you can be on the fence, and it’s better to stay there than to make decisions today when you are not seeing the value of things as clearly as you typically do. Secrets can emerge or can weigh heavily on your mind. Aim to learn from your frustrations or resentments that seem to arise out of nowhere.
Gemini
Money matters and questions of ownership can be tricky issues today, Gemini, and will need careful handling. Somebody could be playing the heavy, and it may be a partner or a financial supporter. If you feel undervalued, you might decide to come strongly to your own defense. However, power plays are likely to get you nowhere fast today, so aim to find a good compromise. Alternatively, there can b doubts about a person in your life or concerns about money issues. There could be a tough decision to make today, but making it under pressure will not serve you well, so aim to find a place of calm before you jump into anything. Diplomacy will get you places, however, and is favored over fighting things out. The trick will be to let something go long enough to use your considerable powers of negotiation.
Cancer
While you can have good, and possibly healing, conversations today, Cancer, you might sense a general feeling of discontent to the day. Ghosts from the past tend to crop up, and it will be important for you to keep your center. You may be dealing with a difficult person or situation. However, any conflict that emerges right now can actually give you important information or insight into the hidden forces at work in your life that may be undermining your progress and keeping you from moving on and forward, particularly related to your close relationships. What is keeping you from identifying and asserting your needs? Fears tend to be illuminated now.
Leo
You can wrestle with reminders of disappointments from your past or feelings of guilt today, Leo. Plans can backfire or you might encounter obstacles that send you back to the drawing board, not necessarily to start over, but to make important refinements. You could be contradictory today, or could be perceived as such, and difficult to please. Power plays can occur with those you work with, or you could feel a lot of pressure to get things done, even if your heart isn’t entirely in it or you are not feeling up to par emotionally and physically. A lot is going on under the hood today, whether others realize it or not, and if you feel taken advantage of, you may be stewing in your frustration. Find healthy outlets for releasing your frustration and make plans to deal with your current dilemma step by step.
Virgo
People in authority tend to be favoring you these days, but there may be some problems with guilt or second thoughts right now when it comes to your goals or career. These might serve to motivate you to make important changes and adjustments to plans. Somebody could be playing games with you or vying for your attention. Behaviors of a lover, child, or friend can be driven by insecurities, or there could be an event that triggers memories of a disappointment or letdown. Thoughts about a love relationship can be obsessive, and if they serve to bring you down, try to replace negative thoughts with positive statements. It’s not the time to get answers – there are far too many variables to consider, and most are unknown. Guessing or filling in the blanks is not productive now as you, too, may be feeling insecure. However, conversation can solve most problems today. As well, there is general reverence for you today, as others readily sense your sincerity.
Libra
Your ruler, Venus, forms an awkward angle to Pluto today, Libra, and you may be wrestling with a decision or dealing with a tricky matter. Desires can be strong, and likely involve the desire for more freedom, but emotions are complicated, particularly regarding family matters, and possibly also self-limitations. Interactions with others can stimulate intense feelings, and something – or someone – could remind you of matters you’d prefer to forget. People may be trying to pull your strings. You could be a little withholding right now as you attempt to figure out where you stand. However, despite all of this, having an open-hearted conversation can be healing and helpful. As well, while social matters can be heady, problem solving on the job or on practical levels can run smoothly.
Scorpio
If there is unhappiness or doubt in a close relationship, then today this may be very difficult to ignore, Scorpio. A relationship may need to change form in order to move forward. Old grudges may emerge, or there could be a sense that someone is trying to dominate the other. There is a strong need for intimacy, but also a desire to control things, and these two things don’t mesh well, so a change is in order. Be careful to avoid trying to push an idea or way of thinking onto someone. Today’s energies are mixed, however, and there can be blockages in some places while other areas open themselves to healing.
Sagittarius
Rhythms in relationships can be off today, Sagittarius, and satisfaction can be more difficult to achieve than usual. Feelings can run hot and cold, and when hot, they may be too overwhelming. Even though you are inclined to second-guess people, it’s probably a good idea to keep this to yourself for now. Others can be giving off confusing, mixed signals today, but before you jump to any conclusions, consider that emotional stances may simply be a cover for a desire to win your approval. Keep your mind open and rise above suspicious thoughts. A tricky problem could come to a head, and if handled well, you could get to a better place of understanding as a result. Questions of ownership and value can be a hot issue now. Defend yourself if the need arises, but don’t be defensive and on edge before you have reason.
Capricorn
Watch for power plays today, Capricorn. You could be frustrated by people who are not following your lead. If you’re feeling uncomfortable or brushed aside, you might be tempted to take things out on others in indirect, manipulative ways. It can be difficult to express your feelings now, particularly as you may not be fully aware of the true source of irritation. You could feel that others are making too many demands on you or your resources, relying too much on you without giving enough in return. Most of your frustrations tend to play out at work or with practical matters, while love and relationship issues tend to fare better, even if they can be a little unpredictable.
Aquarius
There can be friction today if an issue is forced, Aquarius, largely because people are a little more touchy than usual today, and this includes you. Defensiveness and resistance are likely, but only if pushed. If others are pushing your buttons, try to keep a cool head. Talking openly and honestly about issues may be energy-draining but ultimately helpful. Whatever resentment or buried emotions that emerge today are real clues to issues that may be working just under the surface and sabotaging your success and happiness, so pay close attention. You may be coming across in an awkward or choppy way if you are not in touch with these fears. It’s a good idea to acknowledge and examine insecurities and fears you see today.
Pisces
Relationship problems can reach a difficult point today, Pisces, but they’re unlikely to reach a head just yet. In fact, you may not directly confront problems encountered now. Matters of control and power can emerge, but nobody wins if anyone involved in the relationship counts on having the upper hand. Romantic interests can be contradictory, and mixed signals are possible. Differences in values are glaring for the time being, particularly with friends. Avoid fixating on past experiences that have no relevancy to the present, unless you are prepared to work on making real changes. Remember that resentment robs you of your energy. Releasing your concerns through the written word or a positive conversation can be very helpful today.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 24th:
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).
