Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
There are some excellent days ahead of you and today, dear Aries, you may want to give things a rest and avoid overthinking. Watch that you don’t take on a challenge or project that eventually becomes a burden, as there is a tendency to overestimate your interest in something or underestimate the time and energy that you’ll need to complete it. There can be some indecision to deal with as you’re a little more inclined to act on ego or emotion rather than reason, particularly related to relationships. Before making an important or big commitment today, make sure you’re considering and noticing all the details. Ask questions, as the potential for misunderstandings is strong.
Taurus
We’re dealing with competing urges today, dear Taurus, and for you, it’s likely to be between going it alone and sharing your activities with a companion. As much as possible, try not to procrastinate or commit to something that seems a little beyond your means today. In an effort to do it all, you may overreach and regret it later. Taming restlessness can go a long way towards having a good day. Old personal plans or pursuits can capture (or recapture) your interest, and you can have a lot of fun with them. Of course, old problems may emerge now, but resolving them can lift a burden from you and life feels that much easier as a result. Later today, the Moon’s move to your social sector helps ease the pressure.
Gemini
There is a tendency to weigh pros and cons rather than jump into action today, dear Gemini, and this is probably best. You can experience equally powerful pulls to socialize and to do your duties now, and it can be difficult to settle on any one thing. This can either keep you on the fence and in a state of limbo or lead to overdoing something when it would be better to blend and compromise. There is a tendency to misjudge our capacities with a Sun-Jupiter quincunx active now, particularly in the first half of the day. There can be exaggeration or misinformation in your work and among friends, or people may be expecting far too much of you. Try to take a break from over-thinking, which can be easier to do as the day advances.
Cancer
You may be stuck when it comes to making hard and fast decisions today, dear Cancer, with a Sun-Jupiter quincunx that pulls you in different directions. This is a sign to make adjustments rather than forge ahead. Take steps to narrow things down, pace yourself, and prioritize if you feel a little overwhelmed. Expectations of others, or of your own goals, may be off, and adjustments need consideration. Promises made today can be hard to keep later as they may be half-hearted or based on feelings of the moment. You could be tempted to agree to something just to avoid the pain of indecision. However, it’s best to get in better touch with your real needs and wants. Letting go of these minor irritations will help you enjoy the pleasant energy of the day, which becomes more evident as the day advances.
Leo
With the Sun and Mercury in your adventure sector, dear Leo, you’re often very ready to enjoy life out and about. However, you are also exceptionally home-loving and enjoying the peace and comfort of familiar places and faces. Today, the incompatibility of these drives can be glaring as the Sun and Jupiter form an awkward angle. Or, this can manifest as a dilemma between sticking to what’s familiar and branching out. Plans may not get off the ground just for now, but this is a temporary condition. If you stay on the fence, you are likely to feel like you’ve missed out, so you’ll need to decide whether to adjust your expectations, find a compromise, or make a decision and own it. Any way you choose, at least you’re not left in agonizing place of inertia or overthinking. As the day advances, you’re likely to feel far less undecided.
Virgo
The Sun forms a minor but challenging aspect with Jupiter this morning, dear Virgo, and interactions with others may not go exceptionally smoothly just for now. You may be wavering between keeping things light and taking things a little further. Mixed signals can be the result. An intimate or financial matter can be perplexing for some of you. This is a time for adjusting your expectations if you’ve been overshooting. Enthusiasm can run high but then fall suddenly, much like a sugar high. There can be opportunities for pleasure and enjoyment emerging, and you’ll have better luck with them if you aim to let go of the tendency to overthink. Later today, the Moon moves into your partnership sector, and you tend to fret far less. Someone in your life can help give you the perspective you need to relax.
Libra
It can be difficult to feel truly satisfied this morning with an awkward angle between the Sun and Jupiter dividing your interests, dear Libra. You may have a sense that you need to go hard or not at all, but while moderation can be tricky to practice under this influence, it can help bring you down to earth and ready to see and grab the opportunities of the day. Focus on freeing yourself of unnecessary mental burdens. Relationships can feel a little out of sync, but likely only need adjustments, particularly when it comes to expectations of one another and of the relationship itself. Avoiding big purchases or business decisions may be wise for now. While you may be disagreeing with someone about money or core values, it’s best not to focus too much on differences, as they’re unlikely to impact your life in significant ways. Distractions aside, and especially as it advances, this can be a good time for finding the right information or resources in your work or related to your health.
Scorpio
Decisions about work or health can be tricky today, dear Scorpio, as there are plenty of distractions. You can be anxious to help others or get your work done today, but you also have a strong need to do things independently or to pursue personal interests. This dilemma can only be resolved by toning things down and compromising, but it can be challenging getting to that state. The tendency to gloss over problem areas is strong, and as a result, decisions made now may not be very wise. Besides this, however, your mood is generally forward-looking, and if you can manage to focus your energies on something fun rather than routine, you can enjoy yourself. The day advances quite beautifully as we head towards a Venus-Neptune aspect that is creative, romantic, and inspiring.
Sagittarius
Moderation is wise right now, but difficult to practice with the Sun and Jupiter in awkward aspect, dear Sagittarius. You can feel strong desires to connect with others and to keep to yourself right now, but if you get too hung up on decision making, you can miss out on getting much of anything accomplished. The first half of the day is best for making adjustments and compromises that are not especially straightforward but necessary. As the day advances, you can feel much more at peace. While you may not arrive at a decision, you find it easier to let things be and wait for a better time. You can feel a stronger urge to nest or stick with familiar faces and places with the Moon’s move into your home and family sector.
Capricorn
Conflicts between sticking with what’s familiar and breaking new ground can emerge today, dear Capricorn, or you are having some problems balancing your social and familial life. You can swing between remaining in a state of limbo to acting upon impulse today, but it’s better to find the middle road and aim for moderation. You don’t need to go hard in more than one area now. If you can manage to resist pressures from others, this is an intense day for creative thinking. The Moon moves into harmony with your sign later today, and as the day advances, life seems to smooth out. While you’re unlikely to become more decisive, you’re fine with leaving something to develop naturally, and you can relax as a result.
Aquarius
Routines and regular life can seem particularly dull to you today, dear Aquarius, and restlessness may irritate you with a Sun-Jupiter aspect active this morning. There can be equally compelling and competing desires to accomplish and to pursue your personal interests or explore your options. Because you’re only human after all, you can’t manage to do both full-on at once, so you may decide to tone things down. Otherwise, you’re likely to be stuck in limbo, not entirely satisfied with anything that transpires. For some, this energy may express itself through a dilemma or misstep in business or work, or a disconnect with a boss or parent. The chances of being misquoted also run high. However, as the day advances, life seems a little more comfortable, or at least less pressured, and you’re not as worried about “doing it all” which helps improve your mood considerably.
Pisces
You can feel on the one hand that you want to do something out of the ordinary and explore new places or ideas today, dear Pisces, and on the other, the need to get comfortable. This is because the Sun in your resources sector encourages you to play it safe and stick to the tried and true is in an awkward aspect with Jupiter in your adventure and spirit sector stimulating the desire to branch out and trying something entirely new. If you can come up with ways to satisfy both your freedom-seeking side and your equally strong need to keep things straightforward and familiar, you’ll be in the best shape now. Aim for moderation so that whatever you decide to do doesn’t feel overwhelming. Later today, the Moon moves into your sign, and you feel less pressured. In fact, we’re heading towards a Venus-Neptune aspect that suits you very well, so try not to sweat the little things today.

Today’s Modal Balance
CARDINAL STRONG

MUTABLE WEAK
We can have a hard time adapting to changes and to others’ agendas.
Today’s Lunar Phase
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 11th:
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 the Moon 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 involving inner planets 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 lifetime).
