Today's Horoscope for Thursday April 18th
In an extravagant and indulgent mood, you will be tempted to spend in style. You will want to pleasure your senses with what you buy. But going to extremes won't be helpful. Giving yourself the odd treat is fine but if you go overboard without limits then you will get the budget unbalanced. Moderation is the answer. The past weeks have been good for your morale and confidence since you will have attracted attention and praise for your achievements. Now you will be in a mood to share the spotlight in the weeks ahead.
The Weekly Outlook from 15th April
Your time at a peak at work or in your community activities when you have been taking the lead and expecting others to follow behind is moving into a new phase after midweek. You will be throwing yourself into group activities and happy to be around friends. Sorting out your plans for the coming year will be a priority. You'll be keen to express yourself and find freedom in the days ahead. But you don't want to do anything too disruptive. Hanging onto the best of the old and merging it with the best of the new will be your ideal.
Your Monthly Horoscope for April
You will be in your element with the flamboyant Sun, chatty Mercury and charming Venus all moving across your midheaven bringing attention, praise and appreciation your way. You will have to keep working hard to get results but it will be worth the effort. If you take the lead others will follow behind and your persuasive powers will smooth over any differences. Admittedly at times you may come across as opinionated since you won't budge from what you believe and will be trying to convert those close round to your viewpoint. Travel plans may run into snags or delays around the 10th so have a Plan B in case of emergencies and try to face up to setbacks with equanimity. Getting frustrated won't help. A close partner may not be on your wavelength after midmonth but reassuringly supportive friends will more than make up for any lacks in your life. Your optimism will soar with new opportunities opening up. The final few days will be friend-filled and forward-looking so you won't be bored.
and Next Month's Horoscope for May
In your element surrounded by friends, teammates and as many acquaintances as you can rope into your social circle, you will rarely be bored and never short of good company. This is your time of year to look ahead and start planning. Advice will help you sort out your best options so sift through alternative ideas before committing yourself to a course of action. Despite your hard-work and pro-active pushing not everything will leap ahead at quite the speed you might like with Pluto prompting you to sort out confidential tangles behind the scenes which will take time and persistence. But there will be enough variety, choice and unexpected surprises to keep you on your toes. After midmonth reassuring news about one scheme will put a smile on your face. In the final days try to slow down, stand on the sidelines and let others take the strain while you recharge your batteries until nearer your birthday. You will be pleased at how much you are enjoying your own company.
Year Ahead 2024
A self-protective sign, you often hide your vulnerabilities and mood swings away from general view. But you are moving into a phase in 2024 where detaching from your feelings to stand back and take a considered view will be easier than in the past. Pluto the planet of transformation moving into the deepest, most confidential area of your chart will guide you through changing times where your old values, financial and emotional are being swept away and replaced with better. You will need to compromise since you won't get it all your own way which does not mean you have to give in completely. You will be negotiating for agreements which are fair to all. This won't happen overnight but will require perseverance, tact and strategy. Fun and enthusiastic friends will be around as a supportive distraction until May. After that you will find you cherish more time in your own company to reflect, put the past into perspective and be at peace. You will find an inner strength you never knew you possessed with sudden insights and inspiration bringing you confidence.
