Aries: If feelings are nagging you, lean in. Exploring why you react strongly to something yields more insight than trying to put your emotions into precise boxes. It might be wise to seek advice and question what something means on a deeper level.

Taurus: Once in a while, a loving or tender touch can produce an uncomfortable static shock. Move gently and watch emotional cues. Although your intentions may be good, any possessiveness or desire to control might provoke a painful reaction.

Gemini: Even with all the ways we can contact each other, important things may fall through the cracks and never get heard. Rather than reacting to someone’s unintended silence, you could opt to reach out to them directly to clarify the situation.

Cancer: You might achieve your goals with more energy and effort than you expected. Think of the price you’re willing to pay to reach the most valued version of your dream. There may be a way to achieve success without compromising your standards.

Leo: Being too straightforward might not come across the way you imagined. Sometimes, softening the truth could be kinder than being brutally honest. A friend may be in need of support while another loved one could be feeling neglected or overlooked.

Virgo: A careful response may be necessary if you’re triggered. Some people might believe they can only be big if they make you small. Before moving forward, ask yourself if your reaction will change anything or just make your life more uncomfortable.

Libra: There’s no need to further complicate a challenging situation. You may enjoy some downtime to catch your breath while steering clear of new relationships or purchases. You might shine when spontaneously giving advice or performing acts of kindness.

Scorpio: Whether it’s at home or at the office, you may feel a need for more emotional support than you’ve been getting. You could be looking for attention and the recognition you deserve. It’s nice from others but you build more strength by validating yourself.

Sagittarius: You can sometimes benefit from giving in with good grace. Even gentle nudging from someone could become irritating or feel like nagging. It may seem OK to go with the flow but always pay attention to your intuition.

Capricorn: Before putting your financial situation in jeopardy, do your due diligence to verify the information you’re basing your decisions on. Everyone may say they’re the best, investigate to see if others agree after working with them.

Aquarius: The ends may not justify the means. The quickest path to achieving your goals might involve being ruthless, but this will cost you respect and popularity. Reflect on what truly matters before you act; you might lust after what you can’t have.

Pisces: Things may feel unbalanced. When you are confronted with challenging questions, consider all possible consequences, both personal and professional, that your decision could set in motion. Gather a general consensus before acting.

If April 9 is your birthday: You could be motivated by emotions rather than common sense during the upcoming three to four weeks. Being polite and patient could help you achieve your ambitions in May. Your skillset might be accentuated, think about putting business, career, and financial plans into motion. Romantic notions could fill your head in June if you are single, but a new love interest might turn out to be more than you can handle.
