Your daily Horoscope for Friday, April 12, 2019

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

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)

The slow, static nature of this day will teach you more than a few lessons about patience—there won't be much change or movement in any direction today. If you can accept things the way they are right now, you'll free up a lot of positive energy that will enable you to look on the bright side and enjoy a fairly stress-free day. Sure, things might not be exactly the way you want them, but you can still choose to have a positive outlook.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)

You are about to enter a placid, worry-free time, when fun and feeling good are the name of the game. The world will suddenly feel like a giant amusement park, with stimulating sights and thrilling rides at every turn. This is a great time to begin exploring that new hobby, interest or career opportunity you've been thinking about. Your brain is open to new ideas and new ways of doing things. This proverbial old dog is ready to learn some new tricks!

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)

Beware of someone who is being very flirtatious with you today—and who may have a hidden agenda. This person's interest may be sincere—but there's a chance that he or she is laying it on a bit thick, in order to persuade you of something. Don't be afraid to have fun talking with this person, and to enjoy (and even return) the amorous attention. Just don't commit to anything you're not ready to commit to.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)

Get ready to socialize, because you are about to receive an invitation to a very pleasant, relaxing dinner party or similar intimate social event. Try to attend—there will be people there whom you need to get to know better. And there's some more great news—if you've been putting off buying yourself a new item of clothing, this wonderful event might be just the excuse you've been looking for. Remember to bring your charm and a generous gift for the host.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)

If you've been playing peacekeeper to two constantly bickering friends, it might be time for you to stop. It's becoming clear that neither warring party truly wants peace—so what are you supposed to do? You can lead these horses to water, but they're just not drinking. Walk away, and let them figure things out on their own. You can find a way to have your own, separate relationships with each of them.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A damaged relationship is on the road to repair today, and the two of you are becoming more compatible than you ever were before! This is definitely a reason to celebrate, but try not to get too enthusiastic too quickly—doing so could be dangerous. There are two people involved in this situation, and you both need to stay on the same timetable. Slow and steady wins the race, and it ensures that a stronger relationship will develop.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

There's no doubt that the tide is starting to turn. But the question is are you ready? You're at the helm of a glorious ship that's sailing off into a very beautiful sunset—but it's still very important that you know what route you're going to follow. You do know where you're going, don't you? Ask for advice from friends who have sailed these waters before. The ideas they offer could guarantee a successful voyage.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your competitive side is coming out in full force today, but your self-awareness will prevent you from getting too riled up or aggressive. Unlike some of the people you're working with right now, you know how to do your best without losing sight of good sportsmanship. Try to be an example to others—keep in mind that you are admired for your grace under pressure, and you could be next in line to be a team leader.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Don't be too rough on yourself—you're about as sharp as they come, but no one could corral every little detail that you're responsible for. So if a few minor things have slipped your attention recently, don't beat yourself up about it. These little mistakes will either fix themselves before this day is through or prove to be inconsequential. Perfection is not a realistic goal—in fact, trying to achieve it can prevent you from being as good as you can be!

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

New projects have been more complicated than you expected, and you might be feeling somewhat confused today. You can gain some mental clarity by setting aside a bit of time to straighten out scheduling details. Make a list of what you need to do, and then prioritize! Things that other people are depending on your help with should be at the top of your list today; move on to personal needs only if you have time.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

There is no such thing as normal— and you should keep this in mind when you encounter a very unusual person today. Try not to be frightened or judgmental. Instead, be accepting. This is an important step toward accepting—and embracing—your own unusual and unique qualities. Everyone is a bit odd in his or her own special way. And you wouldn't want things any other way, would you?

PISCES

(Feb. 19-Mar 20)

Your creativity will improve your communication abilities today, so let loose and try not to censor yourself. Use your imagination in correspondence, emails and text messages. Workaday words can adequately express an idea, but to really capture someone's attention, you need to add your artistic flair. Don't assume that a professional environment can't tolerate a colorful splash of personality—in fact, it might just add welcome a bit of color.
