What is in your horoscope this week - April 24, 2023

These are the horoscopes for week commencing April 24, 2023.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

Something that happens this week could amaze you, but in a good way, Aries. The plans you were expecting to happen may not, and the things you had no inkling about can come waltzing up to you and bowl you over. You might feel quite stirred up by the end of it all, but you’ll also realize how much you’ve been stuck in a rut and how good surprises feel.

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

Others may end up running around trying to do everything at once, but you have your head firmly on your shoulders and will be the calming influence that people are drawn to. They probably won’t see your feet paddling crazily beneath the water as you try to stay afloat, which is a good thing. If you give the semblance of being in control, you’ll soon begin to feel this way.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

You could say something off the cuff that upsets another and then wonder why they aren’t talking to you. The emphasis on a private zone where Mercury retro is lurking and electric Uranus is playing a few tricks could be part of the reason. While your conscious mind is otherwise engaged, words can slip out regardless and cause havoc, so be warned, Gemini.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

You’re very good at reaching out a helping hand and assisting others. And they can take advantage of this more than you would like to admit. This week you could surprise someone who thinks you’ll be a pushover. With sassy Mars in your sign linking to Mercury retro, you’ll do the opposite of what they expect. Instead of agreeing immediately you’ll say “No” and mean it.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

You’ll put on a show of strength, whether this upsets others or not, Leo. It’s time to let them know that you no longer intend to be taken for granted. If you have something you’re keen to accomplish, let people know you won’t be distracted from your course. Even if you have to keep repeating yourself, it’s worth it. You’ll need this extra time to achieve your goals.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

Mercury in reverse plus other edgy ties could play havoc with travel arrangements, so be prepared. Delays and disruptions may be a part of the scene, but you do have a choice as to how you respond to them and can decide to take them in your stride. If you have to get somewhere on time, consider leaving an hour or more early so that you don’t miss out. If anyone can, you can!

Libra 24 September – 23 October

The emphasis on an intense zone can be a call to reveal your ruthless streak, especially if you’ve been doing a lot for others and not getting much back in return. This week the cosmos encourages you to give short shrift to those who think they can continue in this way. Instead, invest in yourself and perhaps enjoy a few pleasures that will leave you on cloud nine, Libra.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

Others may seem to be very involved with their affairs, and with a focus on relationships it appears that you’ll have to play along. Indulge them this week as your time will come. And if someone invites you along for a treat, take it with a pinch of salt. There’s a good chance they are doing this because you are useful. Still, if they’re paying, make the most of it.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

You may not want to ask for help, but if you’re floundering and don’t know what to do next you might be pushed into it. And there’s no shame in this. It’s much better to admit you don’t know than to end up failing due to an overdose of pride. Expect the unexpected too, as Mars’ tie to Uranus could bring an opportunity to make more money. You’ll need to snap it up fast.

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

You could get carried away and make a mistake, which is very likely with Mercury retro in the mix. If you do get it wrong, own up immediately and it can soon be rectified. The longer you leave it, the worse things might get. Don’t feel bad as no-one is perfect. This is also a great week for a collaboration. You and another could inspire each other and make a fabulous team.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

There’s a lot of activity on the domestic front, which suggests exciting plans are taking shape. You may be keen to make a clean sweep and get on with some major decluttering. It’s a time of dynamic change on all fronts and your home and lifestyle are included, Aquarius. Still, it’s good to factor in an element of surprise. Something that occurs out of the blue could delight you.

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

With Mercury reversing in your sector of talk and thought, you may find it more difficult than usual to make up your mind. And if you’re under pressure, this certainly won’t help. And yet it’s likely others will need to know what you’re about sooner rather than later. Don’t stress too much, just go with your instincts. Expect a fun invite that can make this a really great week.
