Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:

Aries

You receive a fair amount of attention today, dear Aries, and your personal magnetism is powerful. Still, energies today can find you a little more sensitive and emotional than usual. A minor disagreement is a possibility as a result. Try not to let this drain you. Avoid signing important documents or committing yourself to something half-heartedly. Today does hold good energy for guiding someone in the right direction by sharing helpful information or advice. Positive feedback can be most welcome. Finding new or renewed ways to express yourself can be rewarding. Connections with others, although sometimes temperamental, can be highly meaningful, and collaborating or partnering up can be very productive.

Taurus

You’re embracing growth and improvement today, dear Taurus. While the day holds some temperamental energy, overall, transits help you move beyond problem areas. Supporting others with helpful advice or specialized knowledge can be enjoyable now. You’re looking within, but you’re also staying in touch, and this balanced approach serves you well. You might connect with the right person or with your intuition, helping you resolve long-standing problems. As the day advances, passions run high, so that whether you’re feeling love or frustration, these feelings magnify. As a result, there can be extra sensitivity and some ups and downs. A private attraction, relationship, or past experience can figure strongly now. Try to rise above insecurities, as you learn more when you’re not on guard.

Gemini

The Moon in your solar third house keeps you busy, dear Gemini, although not especially focused. In fact, the purpose of this Moon transit is for you to put your feelers out and collect information rather than hunker down. With Venus and the North Node meeting today, something or someone could inspire you to move forward on a personal goal, dream, or plan. A person’s encouragement can be particularly meaningful to you now. Positive energy is with you for networking, communicating and sharing ideas, and learning from others and your experiences. A friendship may feel more hopeful, and a relationship can benefit from improvements and refinements. As the day advances, your need for stimulation is strong. Seek passion, not just experience, if you’re looking for true satisfaction. Feelings of love or frustration can magnify so that if your relationships are satisfying your deeper needs, you can feel quite ecstatic. However, if they’re missing the mark, this can get to you more than usual. There is the potential for much drama.

Cancer

People in high places look on you favorably now, dear Cancer, or work may be more pleasurable. You could make a meaningful connection that encourages you to pursue your more worldly goals. You can successfully promote yourself and your interests, even if you do so indirectly. As the day advances, passions are strong, but the route to your desires is unlikely to be straightforward. As a result, you’re quite vulnerable to emotional ups and downs. The temptation to stir the pot can be strong, but it’s unlikely to bring desired results! Constructive, physical outlets might help release pent-up emotions. Aim to draw on self-control. Change is stressful, even if you’ve made the choice to make it, so reward yourself with understanding.

Leo

Energies are fantastic for teaching, guiding, and sharing ideas today, dear Leo. It can be a time to expand your horizons or open your heart to others’ ideas. Similarly, someone might open up to your unique outlook or help boost your self-image. You’re in the right shape to put the pieces of an uncertain situation together. There is more openness in your connections with others right now. Later today, something you can be on the provocative side, whether you intend it or not. You may be looking for reactions and trying to gauge how someone feels about you. This might work out for you on a regular day, but there is a somewhat volatile energy and hypersensitivity, which can turn around on you quite quickly. Taming the desire for drama can help you see the opportunities of the day.

Virgo

Getting some extra time for emotional healing and renewal can do wonders for you today, dear Virgo. While you may keep to yourself in some ways, today is suitable for making connections. Transits bring you in touch with your desire to improve your life. You might make a contact that helps you manage money or who readily supports you. New ways of relating can be pleasurable. Later today, there can be a competitive, possessive, and emotional tone. Passions run high, and boundaries can be pushed. Working to tone things down can be very much to your advantage. In fact, relationships can improve with more attention given to them, but they are also quite vulnerable to pressures to be more than they are. Releasing pent-up anger should be done in ways that don’t eventually bring you or others down. It’s time to attract fresh, enlightening experiences.

Libra

You seek to move toward growth and improvement today, dear Libra, and you might seek to feel alive, vital, and vibrant through someone. Connections can be especially supportive and meaningful now, and perhaps a rich source of ideas. Collaborating can be very productive–you might attract helpful people into your experience or enhance an existing bond. You are especially attractive to others now, and you could have the opportunity to show yourself in the best light. Later today, it can be difficult to pinpoint what other people truly want from you, as they may be playing games or simply demanding a lot from you without directly telling you what they want. Detach yourself only enough to come to a place of peace, but not so much that others become frustrated or feel you are mocking them.

Scorpio

Your responsibilities and goals are in the spotlight today, dear Scorpio. Your intuition can help you further your work or health interests today, and there can be an opportunity to make a valuable contact through work or pursuing daily routines. Your craving for a feeling of connectedness with others does leave you a little more emotionally vulnerable than usual, but you’re also braver about going after what you want. Bringing more harmony, joy, and pleasure to your routines can be most satisfying now. Later today, you might face a stubborn person or a roadblock, leaving you feeling a bit restless. A matter of the heart can reach a head, and high-running emotions can cloud the picture temporarily. Try not to jump to conclusions as they may be premature, and avoid clinging to what is familiar if this keeps you in a mental rut. Love feelings are powerful today, and satisfying them may not yet be straightforward.

Sagittarius

Today’s energies are forward-looking, dear Sagittarius. Someone in your life may be encouraging the more affectionate, romantic, or creative side of your nature. You might make connections that promote your interests, especially the more heartfelt ones, whether for work or play. Advances in the areas of creativity, romance, or hobbies can be more evident. If your passion is met with indifference later today, try not to let it get to you, as the mood can very well be defined by how you react to not getting your current desires met. You may not be on the same page as someone important to you temporarily, and the results can be stimulating if you see your differences as something to learn from, but very frustrating if you expect to make a deeper connection. Watch for pushing yourself too hard due to impatience to reach a goal.

Capricorn

You can recognize the need to pull back and replenish yourself today, dear Capricorn. With today’s meeting of Venus and the Moon’s North Node, you might come to a better feeling of harmony with family or beauty and peace in the home environment. New information or contacts can motivate you to make improvements and positive changes, and warmth in your personal life is precisely what you need to decompress. Later today, however, impatience can have its way with your mood if you’re not careful, but “haste makes waste” is something you might remind yourself of. Adjustments, working with differences, making compromises, and trying to find a balance are all important strategies now, as passions run high and there is a distinct air of competitiveness around you and within you. There can be imbalances between what you want from someone, and from what they want from you, but consider that this may be temporary, and that patience will serve you best now. Overreacting can stir up trouble that you don’t need.

Aquarius

It’s a good time to lean on someone or put more energy and heart into your relationships, dear Aquarius. Today holds much promise for making connections on mental planes. Your positive communications touch others, and people take much interest in your words. There can be a happy feeling that you can rise to a challenge. People you meet or news you read can help point you in the direction of positive growth and change related to transportation, learning, and studies. Things that keep you connected, such as phones or even vehicles, can also figure strongly, or they’re subject to improvements now with Venus and the North Node aligning in your communications sector. Later today, when it comes to a belief or idea, you can quickly become impatient with others if they are not catching on to your way of thinking. Avoid taking things too personally, and this can be a very rewarding time. In fact, someone’s differing viewpoint can lead you to an important conclusion. You could receive an exciting message or take a detour from your usual routine that ends up lifting your spirits.

Pisces

A meeting between Venus and the Moon’s North Node can bring benefits from socializing, dear Pisces. Someone might help you achieve your goals or point you in the right direction of growth and advancement. Advice about money or business can be valuable. Aim to be an informed listener! Interviews, negotiations, and solutions are all favored. Later today, however, passions run much higher. There can be heightened emotions surrounding what you own, your possessions, or finances. Some awkwardness in expressing yourself is possible now, and if the timing is off with a love interest, try not to read negatively into it. Ideally, you’re ready to learn from your differences and eventually feel closer as a result.

The Fire signs are Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The element of 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.

EARTH WEAK

There can be a lack of desire, interest, or skills regarding practical affairs. We may not be very much in touch with reality. Difficulties concentrating, grounding ourselves.

AIR WEAK

We may have a difficult time being objective or detached. We may not be especially communicative.

Today’s Modal Balance

The modes are balanced today.

Today’s Lunar Phase

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.

Planetary Positions and their Applying & Separating Aspects

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 17th:

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).

There can be abrupt changes with money, valuables, possessions, and income that lead to a reshuffling of priorities or values. Income might come from non-traditional sources or ventures. We’re bringing progressive ideas to the world of business. New ways of doing business, as well as making, viewing, and handling money are likely.

People in this generation have the ability to make scientific breakthroughs for the benefit of humanity, and may be forced to change the way science is viewed. (Pluto is in Aquarius from March 23rd to June 11th, 2023, from January 20th to September 1st, 2024; from November 19th, 2024, to March 8th, 2043, and from August 31st, 2043, to January 19th, 2044).
