General Daily Insight for April 12, 2020
It’s easy to let our enthusiasm run away with us now that the emotive Moon is touring upbeat Sagittarius. A square between Luna and deceptive Neptune at 1:53 am EDT sets the tone for the entire day, tempting us to escape to fantasyland. Beware of this tendency, especially if you have an important decision to make. Relying solely on our emotions won’t make the grade. Fortunately, the Moon will make its entry into pragmatic Capricorn later tonight. At that time, we’ll be blessed to see this situation through a more realistic lens.

Aries
March 21-April 19
Dwelling on regret will be a waste of your precious time today. Seize the power of the present moment instead of looking back at the past. Your willingness to take risks is one of the most incredible things about you. If you failed at a job, creative project, or relationship before, that’s no reason to abandon hope. Keeping pressing forward. Although your behavior may seem wild and outlandish to stuffy types, the right kind of people will admire your resolve. Being true to yourself helps the pieces of your puzzle fall together.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
This isn’t a good time to steer a friendship into romantic waters if you’ve been considering it. Although you might find someone in your social circle irresistibly attractive now, keeping your bond platonic is your best move. Having an intimate relationship wouldn’t work for very long, as you could get on each other’s nerves when sharing resources. One of the reasons you like being with this person is that they respect your expertise and experience. Remember, respect doesn’t need to equate to romance. Separating business from pleasure ensures you keep your friendship for a long time to come.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Honoring your professional promises is critical to your success now. If you’re struggling to deliver materials in a timely fashion, speak to your supervisor or coworker about this. They may help you come up with a solution you hadn’t previously considered. If you’re unemployed, it may be time to broaden your job search. Your chances for finding a good position are strong when you’re flexible and optimistic. Rather than dwelling on the negative aspects of this situation, celebrate the possibilities that may soon materialize. It’s always darkest before the dawn.
Cancer
June 21-July 22
If you’re embroiled in a legal matter of some kind, it could be in your best interest to put it to bed now. This may have taken up more time, energy, and money than you initially thought it would, and you’d benefit from resolving this problem as quickly as possible. The last thing you want is to drag this out even longer. If a business or romantic partner is urging you to hire an expensive lawyer, put down your foot. This is one of those situations where you must obey your own conscience.
Leo
July 23-August 22
It’s important to address the elephant in the room with your romantic partner. If you’ve been hiding resentment toward your other half, come clean today. You’re an adventurous person who needs variety in their life, and following the same routine day after day may have dulled your creative edge. By finding small but meaningful ways to mix things up, you could bring the excitement you’ve been craving back into your life. It’s possible you’ll be surprised by the support you receive, but you have to make it known first.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
You may be unrealistic about a certain relationship in your life. Rather than expecting this person to achieve a standard of perfection, try accepting their imperfections now. Treat their shortcomings as opportunities to strengthen your bond. If they’re scattered and unfocused, attend to the details that escape their attention. If they’re impractical about money, offer insight on managing their finances. In many ways, you balance each other nicely. When you become too rigid, you fail to see everything they bring to the table. They are so much more than their perceived slip-ups.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Overindulging in decadent pleasures could be cause for regret now. Instead, exercise restraint and treat your body like a temple. If you need a distraction, look for ways to help those in your area. Perhaps an elderly neighbor needs someone to get groceries for them or someone down the block has run out of supplies you have plenty of. Helping others could set the tone for warm relationships. Other might advise you to keep your distance; use discretion and safety. Having friends who live nearby could have unexpected benefits down the line.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
A creative block could drive you to distraction today if you’re not careful. Rather than racking your brain for ideas, focus on routine tasks or chores. A brilliant breakthrough could occur while you’re doing something as simple as chopping vegetables, folding laundry, or sweeping the floor. When your conscious mind is busy, your subconscious can run wild. It’s important to relax when you encounter difficulty, because obsessing over problems can make them multiply and grow. When anxiety starts to mount, it’s best to relax and turn your attention toward anything else.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Being honest about a troubling family matter won’t just benefit you, it could also benefit everyone involved. If you’ve been ignoring an issue a relative is struggling with, take this opportunity to find your loved one the support they need. Whether this is a health, financial, or mental health problem, research resources that could assist them now. Because you’re an open-minded and accepting person, you probably tried helping in the past. However, this situation might be well beyond your capabilities. Leave this to the experts and simply act as their cheerleader along the way.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
A friend or neighbor could be trying to take advantage of your good nature. If they ask for money today, don’t feel compelled to lend it to them. Although you might be doing very well financially, you shouldn’t feel pressured to share your wealth with people who are their own worst enemies. Channel your generosity into a cause that is close to your heart. Conserving wildlife, contributing to a scholarship, or supporting a food bank are all good ways to spend your hard-earned cash. You’ll feel good knowing it’s going to people who will use it wisely.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Irresponsible spending could put you in a difficult situation at a later time. If friends ask you to contribute financially toward an expensive item, give them a polite but firm refusal. Having money in the bank will allow you to pay an unexpected expense when it arises. This may not seem like a big deal today, but you will be relieved to satisfy this debt without having to worry when it does occur. Money can’t buy happiness but it can buy peace of mind, so save today’s pennies for tomorrow’s rainy day.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Although your contributions are greatly valued at work, they don’t make you immune to criticism from your colleagues. Be mindful about meeting deadlines, attending virtual meetings, and handling interactions diplomatically now. By doing so, you instill trust and earn the respect of your coworkers. If you are a free agent, check in regularly with clients and resist an impulse to remain in the background. The more you put yourself out there, the easier it will be to land the lucrative assignments you want. Today, your recipe for your success entails staying on top of your game.
