Horoscopes: Tuesday, April 28

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)

Not every issue can be resolved within a time frame. You may have to play the waiting game occasionally and rely on others for constructive input. A sharp mind is your most positive feature.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)

You stick with tradition and follow a familiar path. Mercury the planner flows through your sign and a tendency to cruise along feels right at this point in time. You measure actions and words carefully.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)

Your emotions sit just below the surface. The vibe is positive but life is not without its ups and downs during this sensitive lunar period. Surround yourself with supportive people whose aims and ideals are compatible.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)

You allow a situation to drift rather than risking conflict. There is a time and place to articulate your feelings but in the short-term silence is golden. When in doubt let instinct guide you.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)

Keeping busy becomes you today. Moon in fleet-footed Gemini highlights your ability to multi-task without losing the thread or making mistakes. You miss nothing and seem to have all the answers.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)

Your innate goodness shines through. Working to serve others is rewarding and putting your own needs last tends to come naturally. Your heart, mind and soul are in harmony during this even-handed phase.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)

Challenging goals bring out the best in you. Prospects brighten and you are keen to broaden your horizons, awareness and social circle in the days ahead. Variety is your oxygen and knowledge your power.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)

Trivial issues distract you from the task at hand. Others may bombard you with gossip, questions or requests for your time. The most productive periods come from working in solitude away from phones and noise.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)

If a conscience vote is required, you stick firmly to personal principle. The waxing Moon brings core values to the surface and going out on a limb for your beliefs seems like the most natural thing to do.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)

Ideas spring to mind but implementation is a problem. Team up with people who have proven track records in the fields of finance or marketing and double your chance for successful results.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)

A hidden talent or secret desire materialises. You are technically savvy and can achieve remarkable results using the most up-to-date equipment or methods. Reshuffle engagements to suit your own wants and needs.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)

Your penchant for sweeping statements can cause misunderstandings. Others are left wanting more detail and there is a danger of the blanks being filled in erroneously. Reduce commitments to allow time for fact-finding.

YOUR DAY

It only takes a furtive glance or word in the right ear to gain attention. People are alert to nuances and have an inquisitive streak today. Word plays and power games can be expected.

YOUR BIRTHDAY

The upcoming year is ideal for soul-searching and personal growth. You may consider scaling down commitments in order to focus on spiritual or edifying pursuits. Time out is therapeutic.
