Horoscopes
Aries
It may be difficult to truly and richly connect with someone today, Aries, as much as you may want to. People’s reactions to you may pull at your insecurities or undermine your confidence. While the temptation today is to either pull into yourself in reaction or to try too hard, but neither will serve you well. Finding a middle ground is best. Even better, tend to your own needs, please yourself, and at the same time keep yourself open and approachable enough that if others want to join in, they are able to. There can be a lot on your plate today, but emotions tend to sap you of some of the energy and motivation to deal with your duties. However, if you accept that this is not one of your better days and simply make the best of it, you can feel quite satisfied by the end of the day.
Taurus
This is not the best day for confidence, Taurus, and you could find that doors are not really opening for you as readily as they have been. This is a brief, transitory influence. While people may not be rushing to help you out today, this does give you the opportunity to discover that you’re quite fine at helping yourself. However, important decisions about money, friendship, and business should probably wait, as you may not be in touch with what you truly want and value right now. You might also have to deal with others’ criticism or scrutiny.
Gemini
You could be temporarily questioning a few things today, Gemini, with Venus in your sign and challenged by Chiron pulling out latent insecurities and vulnerabilities. It’s in fact a good time for getting to know what you truly want and value, but it may feel a little awkward along the way. You are suddenly seeing relationships and people in terms of your differences rather than your similarities, and you might also feel that people in authority, such as bosses or parents, seem to be judging you or seeing you for your faults. This is temporary and can point you to areas that require more attention, and possibly some toughening up. Past mistakes are unlikely to repeat if you allow yourself to truly see them and learn from them.
Cancer
You could feel a little let down in your social or love life today, Cancer, or interactions with others tend to pull up past hurts and current insecurities. For some, a delayed reaction to a disappointing situation can occur now. At the moment, you may not be seeing things very clearly. If you’re truly uncomfortable, then do pull yourself out, but watch that you don’t withdraw and deny yourself important experiences only because you are protecting yourself from experiencing old hurts. Remind yourself that the past doesn’t have to repeat itself, particularly if you have been honest with yourself and learned from your earlier experiences. Talking things through with a trusted friend can be helpful.
Leo
You might experience some disagreements or confusion over money or shared resources today, Leo. You should also take extra care of your valuables right now. Disappointments are possible today, and you may be seeing a friend in a less than flattering light. Try to avoid reacting by either pulling out or overdoing, as neither approach will get you closer to what you want. While situations today could remind you on some level of past upsets or hurts, they also have something to teach you, as the past doesn’t always have to repeat itself. Today is good for working on business strategies, which tend to come naturally to you.
Virgo
The Moon is in your sign all day, Virgo, and you want to do things your way. You tend to let your emotions lead under this influence. While you could feel blocked by a significant other, or possibly vaguely guilty about going your own way, for the most part, good energy is with you for learning and venturing out and about. Later today, take extra care when choosing your words if you are making a statement in a more formal setting, but avoid the temptation to people-please too much. When judging the value of things, people, and relationships today, you may very well either overshoot or undershoot the mark, so save important decisions for a clearer time.
Libra
Focus on healing, processing, and unwinding if possible today, Libra, with the Moon in the sign behind yours all day. It’s a monthly period for catching your breath and refreshing your emotions and connection with your inner world. Later today, if a belief or opinion has you worked up, try your best to let it go if it begins to truly interfere with your day. It can be difficult to rise your thoughts above the small problems in your life, but you’ll do better for yourself if you disengage or withdraw just a little right now. This is not the best day for recognition or positive feedback. Try to let that go as well. Aim to enjoy time with yourself rather than bemoan it.
Scorpio
There can be a “two steps forward, one step back” feeling to the day, Scorpio. You have a good sense that you’re going somewhere and progressing, but there can be some emotional backstepping. This needn’t be too difficult – simply keep in mind that it is difficult to see what you truly want and value when insecurities or guilt are involved, as they likely are today when it comes to intimate and relationship matters. You can be feeling a little vulnerable on a creative level as well, and more inclined to hide your light than share it, just for now. Please yourself today, and avoid a tendency to overdo pleasing someone, as it won’t get you into a better position. The Moon’s presence in your solar eleventh house pulls you towards light connections and networking as a form of emotional detox, and it can certainly help.
Sagittarius
Today, there can be some issues with insecurities, particularly related to family or a significant other, Sagittarius. Learn to recognize insecurity or guilt in your own behavior, even if you’ve disguised it well from yourself! There can be some awkwardness or off timing in relationships today, but these are temporary. Avoid bending over backwards just to please someone. You can be very emotionally focused on performing, and your ambitions are to the fore. It may be difficult to tune out emotional distractions today, but if you manage to take a step by step approach, you can be rather productive despite this.
Capricorn
Activities that break the routine, even if they are simply played out in the mind, are emotionally satisfying today, Capricorn. After a couple of days in a deeper place emotionally, you are now in need of seeing some light. You may be dealing with some level of chaos or trying to resist a temptation to flee and escape your responsibilities. You could also be dealing with vagueness in the people around you, which is frustrating, or uncertain instructions with your work or studies. Insecurities about work or relationships can come to the fore now.
Aquarius
There is a tendency to need to pull into yourself in order to gain emotional strength today, Aquarius. Introspection can do you some good now, but if you get into a doubting, overthinking frame of mind, then you’ll need to recognize when too much is too much! Insecurities, particularly related to money or your own value, can be stimulated today. Indecisiveness can weigh on you. Commitments and conclusions should wait for another time, if possible. However, you can find quite a bit of support and unconditional acceptance from people closest to you today, and if someone you care about thinks the world of you, let that in and allow it to fill you up. The next couple of days are strong for building up confidence.
Pisces
You are especially focused on, and sensitive to, the needs of important people in your life today, Pisces. The Moon has moved into your opposing sign (Virgo), and this can stimulate a stronger awareness of your feelings for others, as well as parts of your life that have come out of balance. However, a challenging aspect between Venus and Chiron in your sign can stimulate your vulnerabilities and insecurities today, and you can have a hard time getting close, either mentally or emotionally or both, to someone as a result. Difficult problems from the past can be remembered now, complicating things further. This may not be the best day for having your needs met, but you would do well for yourself if you examine what it is you truly need.

We are more agreeable and relationship-oriented.
TAURUS STRONG
Stable and enduring, strong values, unyielding, earthy, acquisitive, strong desires. Can be stuck, stubborn, overly possessive, self-indulgent.
VIRGO STRONG
Meticulous, discriminating, pure, practical, health conscious, hard working. Can be hyper-critical, petty and perfectionistic.
EARTH STRONG
We are especially in touch with the physical world. We consider what we’ve learned and experienced in the past in order to make the most of the present. We can be cautious, practical, and possibly unimaginative. We are deliberate and can pace ourselves well. We need hands-on experience and are not impressed with theory as much as we are with results. Routines are tolerable and comforting.
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 WEAK
This is not a time that we tend to naturally initiate actions. We may be stronger at following up than starting anew. Survival mechanisms may be weaker now.
LUNAR PHASE: FIRST QUARTER
Moon from 90 to 135 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are motivated to take action, perhaps due to a clash, conflict, or stress, as we are more aware of problems and differences now. Plans are beginning to take off or turn a corner. We should watch for pushing too hard.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 28th:
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).
