Horoscopes: Friday, April 10

ARIES: (Mar 21 – Apr 20)

The heat in your system is dying down from being a blazing flame, to being a warm glow – like that of a wood stove. You are less likely to be pushing the envelope and more likely to be soothing and absorbing adventures had.

TAURUS: (Apr 21 – May 20)

Mercury, who is the god of tricksters and traders, has just entered Taurus. He is also the guide of souls. You can expect to be guided by being flipped around, taken up the garden path – and learning by crazed unpredictable experience.

GEMINI: (May 21 – June 21)

As your planet Mercury enters earthy Taurus, so your intelligence enters a sensual physical phase. Your hands are likely to hold more awareness than your head – your belly more than your books. Ease into it. Slow is part of this.

CANCER: (June 22 – July 22)

Ease into the fact that you are most comfortable with non-verbal ways of communication. The pressure is on to be articulate. It's very clear that your way of speaking and knowing is uniquely yours. You'd be best to stand by it.

LEO: (July 23 – Aug 22)

Practical considerations bring you to earth with a bit of a thud. There is a chance here of a bumped pride. If that happens remember not to take your reactions too seriously. What's in a dent? Accept it. Soon it will bring great strength.

VIRGO: (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

You are determined not to be hoodwinked by illusion. Your pragmatic gene is running strong. Discern and doubt to the point where it becomes important to wonder if your discernment and doubt might no longer be relevant.

LIBRA: (Sept 23 – Oct 23)

Once you have your sights set on something, you aren't all that easy to budge. Though yours is the sign of refinement, peace and harmony, you know how to dig your heals in when you need to. The Moon is encouraging you.

SCORPIO: (Oct 24 – Nov 21)

Love is demanding solidity and wisdom, rather than the flapping wings of romantic fantasy. If you can come down and meet it on it's terms, a corner will be turned. This involves letting go of vanity or pride, which is tricky.

SAGITTARIUS: (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You are receiving a big boost of energy. The Moon is placed in such a way that easy opportunity rolls out under your feet like a highway. You have paid your dues. There's no need to doubt yourself. Go with what life is offering.

CAPRICORN: (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

If one thing isn't working, then keep your eye out for something else that is. One apparent disappointment isn't worth clouding your vision on all fronts. There are plenty of places where the light is shining. Point yourself there.

AQUARIUS: (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Slowly you are rising out of your place of hideaway, healing or entrapment and finding community. It is incredibly important to find one's tribe – to find the place where our uniqueness is embraced. There is nothing to lose.

PISCES: (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Life is holding you to your wishes. It isn't letting you off the hook by allowing you to settle for anything less than what makes your soul throw cartwheels. What sometimes feels like an anchor, is actually the centre of your wheel.

YOUR DAY

The Moon is one quarter of a hair's breadth past full. Though the tide of increase has turned, it is still exerting a powerful pull. Stick to your vision no matter what is thrown in your path. Dance with fate. There's no need for conquest.

YOUR BIRTHDAY

The fires in your heart are turning to a warming glow. Hop off your horse. Put down your shield and sword. Come inside and celebrate your wild and woolly journey. Tell your tale. It's a beauty. Story-telling is a journey too.
