Daily Horoscopes/Astro Highlights for each Sign:
Aries
You benefit from taking steps towards feeling a little more secure, dear Aries, with the Sun in your resources sector forming a trine to Saturn. This is a strong time for developing, considering, or going over financial or business strategies. Your confidence in your abilities to succeed is notable and realistic. This influence is also useful for clout and your reputation. Thinking about the long view is important and beneficial now. Matters of give-and-take can come to a head today with a Full Moon occurring later today in your solar eighth house. Emotions tend to run high when it comes to money, personal belongings, and fundamental values. For some, there can be a revelation in or about an intimate relationship. When Full Moons occurs, you might swing between extremes until you find the middle ground.
Taurus
With the Sun in your sign forming a trine to Saturn this morning, dear Taurus, you’re likely to want to make some changes that help you simplify and strengthen your life. The focus is on keeping your life running smoothly, and you’re willing to put in the extra effort towards those ends. Conservative planning can be rewarding right now. You can find yourself concentrating on practical details that on other days you might avoid, so take advantage! Later today, a Full Moon occurs in your opposing sign, and you may be able to come to a new understanding in a close personal relationship – both of yourself and someone special. Emotional declarations are possible now. Some disagreements can happen under this Full Moon, but any arguments engaged in now tend to resolve with both parties coming to a greater understanding, instead of leaving everyone frustrated.
Gemini
With a Sun-Saturn trine this morning, dear Gemini, committing yourself to solid goals can be just what you need to feel refreshed. You might choose to further business or financial goals, particularly on a research and analysis level. Realistic thinking helps ground you as you don’t feel caught up in a world of fantasy and uncertainty. Good energy for meeting responsibilities and enjoying a stronger feeling of certainty or purposefulness continues today. This is a day for accepting a reality in your life and feeling stronger for it, and it’s also good for self-acceptance. With a Full Moon occurring later today, you’re likely to have some important and seemingly sudden insight into the past. If you’ve been unsatisfied with work, health, or service matters, you’re now feeling this frustration in a rush. Positively, you can be super-motivated to make changes to your routine that will help you feel better about yourself. Try not to worry about whether or not you’re appreciated, and instead answer to yourself for best results now.
Cancer
With a Sun-Saturn trine this morning, it’s a good time for putting more faith in the people (or a special person) in your life, dear Cancer. It’s also a time for establishing rules, guidelines, plans, and strategies. There can be a focus on both business and happiness goals, and plans seem to be coming together. Today is a great time for doing the legwork and accomplishing practical things that lead to a feeling that your life is that much more orderly. With a Full Moon occurring later today, events or memories can happen now that bring new and sudden light to a relationship with a friend or lover. Some aspects of your past need to be laid to rest, simply because they are no longer serving you well. Eventually, these will pave the way to a new beginning. Pent-up feelings can be released today.
Leo
With a Sun-Saturn trine this morning, dear Leo, it’s a good time for bringing a little more structure to your life, mainly through work and daily routines. You can be coming across with a bit more authority, and people in power see you in a particularly favorable light. People tend to put their trust or faith in you today. You might discover good advice and information that helps you on a practical level. Your attention span is long, and you seem to have the energy to get things done, possibly fueled by a feeling of purposefulness and a clear sense of your priorities. The Full Moon later today can stimulate heightened emotions, particularly when it comes to matters surrounding your career, reputation, and family life. A scurry of activity or revelations in these areas of life are likely. If you’ve been pouring too much energy into your responsibilities to “the outside world” or work, then circumstances now remind you to find a balance. A home, family, or property matter could grab your strong attention at this time.
Virgo
The Sun-Saturn trine that occurs this morning harmonizes with your sign, dear Virgo, and can give you a nice boost. You may be feeling better about a relationship or relationship status — more supported or confident that you’re headed in the right direction. Or, you may turn to someone mature, special, and helpful. It’s a beautiful time to work on a creative project or studies. Later today, a Full Moon occurs in your communications sector. The last two weeks have found you somewhat restless and in need of more from life than the usual routine, and now the routine is catching up with you. This can be a time for dealing with a deadline or taking care of your daily affairs. You might come to an epiphany about a personal interest, studies, or a project, and your real feelings emerge now, allowing you to reach a significant conclusion.
Libra
There is strong energy with you again today for organizing and bringing a little more order or structure to your life, dear Libra, in small but significant ways. This can work on both emotional and mundane/physical planes with the Sun and Saturn in harmony in your emotional sectors. There is an excellent ability to see things more clearly and realistically. This is a time for strengthening areas of your life that may be a little weak so that they can withstand challenges at a later date. Taking care of your responsibilities can feel right, as you’re feeling especially useful and productive. Later today, the Full Moon lights up a matter revolving around personal values, intimacy, or money. New feelings or information can emerge that sheds light on an old problem. This Full Moon is about facing your feelings and doing something constructive with them.
Scorpio
With a Sun-Saturn trine this morning, your feet are on the ground, dear Scorpio, and this is an empowering feeling. You are comforted by seeing things a little more clearly, especially since this can make decision making especially effective. Accepting limitations frees you up from the stress of pressure and overshooting. People could be turning to you for advice today, and productive conversations can figure strongly. In fact, your interactions are refreshingly mature. You benefit from a practical viewpoint now. Even so, a Full Moon occurs later today, and it’s in your sign! A stand-off or event might push emotions into your awareness. While what emerges now might seem new at first glance, this has been brewing for some time now. Reactions are quick, emotional, and instinctive rather than studied. You are stripping away what is false in your life, and this could feel intense and possibly even overwhelming if you are not in touch with why these attitudes need to be put to rest. This is a strong time for important epiphanies and getting in touch with your true feelings on a matter.
Sagittarius
While a Full Moon ups the emotional heat of the day, dear Sagittarius, this morning holds some very practical and beneficial energy for straightening things out. Tap into the rewards of a Sun-Saturn trine occurring now by channeling some of your energy into organizing an area of your life that can use some tidying. Sorting activities fare best. Moderate financial and business moves are generally favored. The Full Moon later today can serve to illuminate a work, health, or personal matter for you. What comes to light, or the strong intuition you feel now, can stimulate you to approach your life more positively. Temporarily, you could feel a bit lost in a sea of emotions. The boundaries between your feelings and the outside world are blurred, and you could be overwhelmed by others’ emotions or elements of the past that haven’t been put to rest. However, a plan of action is likely to emerge from this.
Capricorn
As you become clearer of your general direction with a Sun-Saturn trine today, dear Capricorn, pressure releases. You are accepting your responsibilities and enjoying the feeling of accomplishment that comes with meeting them. The extra effort put into learning, creative, or mental tasks now can bring rewards down the road. Others may be appreciating your more reliable, responsible, and patient side today. Knowing what to expect and being able to separate fact from fiction are comforting things for you, and today’s Sun-Saturn trine brings precisely this kind of energy. The Full Moon later today brings a flurry of activity or emotions related to friendship, community, and your social life. Observe, absorb, and try not to react until you’ve processed new information and feelings.
Aquarius
This morning’s Sun-Saturn trine brings a practical flavor to your world, dear Aquarius. There may be a reality to face or a new responsibility falling into your lap, but it feels good, as you are clearer and more certain than usual. You can benefit from some structure, order, and self-discipline right now, particularly when it comes to relationships and emotions. Making lists and plans can be comforting. Knowing what to expect, you feel more relaxed and can be more productive. Later today, though, you may very well get the opportunity to strut your stuff with the Full Moon in your solar tenth house. There can be recognition or an award, or a job opportunity for some, or possibly even a new calling – a clear vision of where you’d like to head in the future.
Pisces
You tend to feel stronger right now on a mental level, dear Pisces, as you may have a sense that you can get over hurdles and obstacles. This is a good day for making plans and formulating strategies. Your patience can carry you far at the moment. Realistic thinking can be quite satisfying now. Even so, a Full Moon occurring later tonight, pulling your need for more from life than mere routine to the fore. Avoid getting too caught up in what others are doing, thinking, or saying, as it’s essential to get in touch with your own needs rather than reacting to what you feel is expected of you. The desire to expand your mind or your personal experience dominates now. If you need a push or some extra courage to do something new, this Full Moon can undoubtedly help. For some, this can be a time of a culmination of a learning project, publishing of work, or some form of expanded reach.

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.
Today’s Modal Balance
The modes are balanced.
Today’s Lunar Phase
LUNAR PHASE: GIBBOUS
Moon 135 to 180 degrees ahead of the Sun.
We are looking to attach value and meaning to our goals. This is a time for analyzing, questioning, perfecting, and improving.
The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EDT) on April 29th:
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).
