Your daily Horoscope for Monday, April 08, 2019

What kind of day will you have today? Read our horoscope... 

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

Do you feel as though you're the one who's always initiating plans with your friends? If you think that nothing would ever happen unless you made all the arrangements and sent all the emails, then test your theory. Stop being the social director for your people, and see what happens. Your suspicions will either be proved wrong (and you'll get to take a break) or be proved right (and you may realize that you're being taken advantage of).

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

Don't be surprised if you feel as though the world is moving too quickly for you today. But even if you lag far behind everyone else, you won't mind a bit. Right now, you're in the mood for a leisurely pace, and you should have one—it will make for a pleasant day. Taking time to smell the roses, and really noticing your surroundings, will be especially enjoyable today. And everyone else will miss out.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

Are you hesitant to take the advice of friends and associates right now? It's true that they have something to gain in this situation, but it's also true that they know more about what's going on than you do. Proceed with caution, and weigh everything they say against what your gut is telling you. This is a time for careful movement; you mustn't be impetuous about anything, especially if it involves your heart.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

You will be very useful to someone (perhaps without even realizing it) today, thanks to your quick mind and your even quicker reflexes. Being in the right place at the right time will result in much gratitude showered on you today. It seems that you are developing quite a fan club, and it has one or two very powerful members! Be careful not to rest too long on your laurels, though. People are raising their expectations of you, and you mustn't let them down now!

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

Even very attractive people sometimes have ugly personality quirks—keep this in mind when you meet someone who seems too good to be true. Just because something glitters does not mean that it is gold! Some people turn on the charm when they want to mask character deficiencies—the brighter they sparkle, the darker they are inside. Your intelligence will intimidate people like this, so don't be surprised if a charmer who's new in your social circle seems to avoid you.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your energy is positively nuclear today, which is going to help you out—you'll have a lot of fun juggling a lot of different tasks that others might find boring. An accidental double booking will force you to make a quick decision—let intuition be your guide. Would you rather make headway on a work project or chill out with some people who make you feel like a superstar? Whatever you decide, stick to it.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Starting off the day with a big business transaction is not wise—try to put major deals off for as long as you possibly can. If you wait until later in the day, you may uncover some hidden information that will alter your plans. Right now, you need to focus on caution, certainty, and forethought. Your career is also a priority now—and your ambitions could set the stage for an important conversation with your boss.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A sticky situation could get pretty ugly today, but there is a surefire way to avoid it. If you mind your own business, you can stay out of all this drama and have a happy, mellow day. So try not to stick your nose into anything that does not concern you, and keep your eyes on your own paper, so to speak. There are a few personal errands you should get out of the way today—after all, they are not going to take care of themselves, are they?

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Try to have as much fun as you can possibly have today, but try to avoid being too immature on the playground. Do not pout or have a temper tantrum if things don't go your way or if you can't get attention from the people you like. Remember important childhood lessons such as sharing and cooperation. Do not think that you can't have fun and share your toys, too! You have some fun stuff that people want to play with, so be generous and let them!

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A few wonderful things in your life are ending, it's true—but if you take a moment to look around today, you will also see that some very beautiful things are beginning. A relationship between two people close to you is coming to an end, and this may affect you deeply. It's okay to ask for the time you need to process your feelings—you know how long it will take you to adjust, and your loved ones will understand. Trust yourself.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

By asking probing questions today, you could transform a casual conversation into a great new opportunity. Showing a genuine interest in what someone else says will open doors, so find out what makes this powerful person tick. Your curiosity could lead you to a new job, great financial advice or even a new romance. Don't adopt an overly formal communication style today—adjust your behavior to suit the environment you're in.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar 20)

It can take a long time for your brain to absorb new ideas right now—you're a bit preoccupied with your personal life. Make sure that in a work or school setting, you're giving yourself enough time to really understand what you're reading, compiling or researching. Showing your work to a fresh pair of eyes is a very wise idea. Another person may catch mistakes that you're blind to, and give you good ideas on how to tighten up loose ends. Accept criticism and listen to others' opinions.
