Horoscope for Sun, 20/04/2014

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Guilt can be a powerful motivator, Aries, but it isn't a pure one. Today you could feel obligated to help a family member with something you'd prefer to take no part in. There are times, like this, when familial duty trumps personal desires. Do your best to be helpful and gracious even though it could be a trying time for you. You'll feel good about yourself once it's all done.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Today you could feel overwhelmed with obligations and commitments to others. There isn't a moment free for yourself, not even for a bathroom break! Clearly, something's out of balance, Taurus. It's time to take charge of your life. It's wonderful that you have such a giving, generous spirit, but you do no one any favors if you burn out from exhaustion. Take some time to refill the well of your soul.

Gemini (May 21 - June 21)

Those who know the real you find your lack of confidence frustrating, Gemini. Your talents are startling to mere mortals, yet you rarely take credit for all your abilities. Today you get an opportunity to participate in a project that could make or break your career. You may hesitate, weigh your capabilities in your mind, and come up short. Not only can you do this, you can do it better than anyone else!

Cancer (June 22 - July 22)

You may be in a quiet, reflective mood today, Cancer. You could receive a communication from an old friend that sets you remembering the good old days of your youth. You can't help but look at some of your pivotal decisions and wonder how your life would have been different had you made other choices. It's pointless to play that game. Don't wonder about "what if. Embrace what you have.

Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)

Today, Leo, forget socializing, working, and answering the phone. Stay home and cuddle in a blanket by the fire. Get out your old yearbooks or photo albums and have fun reflecting on good times from your past. Enjoy being quiet and still. Listen to the ticking of the clock and the wind outside. Measure time by the shadows moving across the room. Give yourself this day of meditation.

Virgo (Aug 23 - Sept. 22)

Don't be surprised if neighbors come to your door asking for a favor and not just to borrow a cup of sugar! While your initial response will be to say yes (it's your nature, after all), think twice. This "favor" could involve a major time commitment. Is this what you want to do? You can put your needs ahead of your friends' and still be a good neighbor. Don't worry, they'll understand.

Libra (Sept. 23 - Oct. 22)

You're likely to wake up today with a compulsion to clean or organize something, Libra. This may be rather unlike you. If we didn't know better we'd say that you were feeling a parental urge, and your nesting instinct is kicking in. Indulge your domestic desires today. Tomorrow you're probably going to be in quite a different frame of mind!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 - Nov. 21)

Today should be a "no holds barred" day as you strategize your next career move, Scorpio. If you were in the army, you'd be a five-star general by now - your tactical sense is that good. Unfortunately, your office isn't handing out stars. You'll have to be satisfied with a raise and promotion - the least they can offer after all your hard work. If no such offer is forthcoming, go and ask for it!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 - Dec. 21)

Today might be largely devoted to household tasks, Sagittarius. It isn't exactly the most glamorous assignment, but you take a certain pleasure in attending to daily necessities. Pay some bills, throw in a few loads of laundry, do some yard work and cooking. Your partner or family will appreciate your efforts. It's even more fun if it isn't expected of you. And who knows? Maybe they'll reciprocate.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 19)

This is going to be a rather busy day for you, Capricorn, and you're likely to love every minute of it. You can expect to meet many people as you go about your day. There will be side trips and detours that you weren't anticipating, but they're all the more delightful because of their spontaneity, like the unexpected lunch with a friend. Such stolen moments enrich your life.

Aquarius (Jan. 20 - Feb. 18)

You've been working hard lately and deserve the professional acclaim that comes your way, Aquarius. As a result of your efforts, it's likely you've received or will soon receive a bonus, raise, or promotion of some kind. Celebrate, but just one night. If you let the party continue indefinitely, the bill could be too large even for you! Be frugal and work hard. That's your real ticket to the good life.

Pisces (Feb. 19 - Mar. 20)

This is likely to be a day geared to fulfilling the needs of family. Lesser persons would resent the obligation, but not you, Pisces. You have a nurturing spirit. As long as you feel appreciated, you're happy to go the extra mile (or two). You can expect to feel loved by those around you. You have a willing, giving nature, and it shows in your aura like a beacon for all to see.
