Weekly Horoscopes beginning 14th April, 2024

ARIES: You might feel  uncertain about the implications when someone who has been instrumental in organizing a group or community event unexpectedly declares their departure. One thing you aren’t going to do is to allow this to deter you from getting on with your own aims. You’re ready to get started on a new project. April is always a good month for you to make new starts. Despite knowing it is going to require patience and effort to convince some people that you are making the right decision, you will persevere. As it is,  there will always be people who doubt and no matter how talented you are, they will find some excuse as to why you should hold back. You are keen to prove they are being too cautious.

TAURUS: You greatly admire a friend who has transitioned from excelling in an amateur sport to becoming a professional. Their achievements have truly impressed you and this will inspire you to keep working to do well in your own fields of interest. Finding a resolution to a current disagreement or problem will not be a straightforward task. There will inevitably be instances where frustration sets in, leaving you feeling exasperated. It may seem like you're stuck in a never-ending loop, making no headway whatsoever. However, rest assured that assistance is available. Reach out for external support and engage in a conversation with a qualified expert. In doing so, you will be pleasantly surprised when the solution becomes clear.

GEMINI: A disagreement between two close friends or within the family could kick off the week on a sour note, but it will soon be overshadowed. Later social plans will provide a welcome distraction from any concerns. It will feel good, on Wednesday, to see a friend who was down in the dumps now feeling much better. Stay focused on your work commitments, as tempting distractions may arise, although some opportunities may be too good to pass up. If you sense your boss is expecting big things from you, keep to the schedule already agreed on. It isn’t such a good time to experiment as this could complicate matters or slow things down.

CANCER: Inadequate support or funding for a community service may result in its discontinuation unless alternative solutions are discovered. Prepare yourself to advocate for a cause that holds great significance to you. Others might be ready to give up but not you. Certain situations this week  may prove to be more demanding than anticipated. Nevertheless, you will be amazed by your capacity to handle them all. A partner in business or romance might seem too preoccupied to engage in discussions regarding the issues you wish to resolve. It would be wise to address these matters at a later time.

LEO: In order to avoid tension in relationships, It is advisable to avoid engaging in disputes with neighbours or colleagues. Whether they are discussing current events or recent situations that have already caused disagreement, it might be beneficial to respectfully disagree and move discussions towards more neutral topics. It is possible that someone in the family will open up about their financial struggles. While you may not wish to meddle too much, you might feel compelled to provide assistance. By carefully considering the situation, you should be able to offer them valuable guidance.

VIRGO: If a current situation is affecting your mental health it will be important to talk to a close friend or professional. Don’t feel you have to go through this on your own. Friends on social media may also offer some helpful advice. Work and financial matters are moving at a slow pace, beyond your control to speed up. Rather than dwelling on what you can't change, focus on the positive aspects in your life. A loved one may be eager to get a change of scenery and they hope you will join them on an adventure to a new and exciting destination, avoiding your usual spots. It will do you good to escape familiar places for a short while.

LIBRA: Your current obligations and responsibilities seem to be growing at a fast pace. You are being bombarded with new requests, demands and communications. You feel overwhelmed by the amount of work that’s ahead of you now and you won’t be happy with how much you are being expected to do. You can’t help feeling some people are taking advantage of your kindness.  Any physical discomfort you may be feeling is likely a result of the heavy responsibilities you are shouldering. Instead of allowing things to spiral out of control, talk to someone who might advise you on how to manage your workload.

SCORPIO: A quick change in plans will lead to disagreement and a heated argument among family members. You might admit to having held back recently on giving an opinion. Being open and honest with each other now will improve relationships at home quite considerably. A younger relative will accept that some goals they have been working for aren’t realistic. They will listen to alternative suggestions. A work situation will not be totally clear but things are improving and you sense the worst is over.

SAGITTARIUS: Testing conditions begin the week but there are plenty around who will rise to the challenge. Your typical pinpoint precision will enable you to home in on what’s needed to resolve problems. You’re off to a solid start when a project demands skills you use daily. Not everyone shares your talents. A rival is playing a bad game and they deserve to lose. That’s how it is and you deserve the rewards that are coming your way. If you are currently single and seeking love, combining friendship with travel may lead to a romantic connection in faraway places.

CAPRICORN: A close friend or  workmate appears unusually downcast due to unexpected news they have received. It is important to give them the necessary time and space to recover from the shock. It will be something of a challenge to have to address an issue involving an older relative or housemate who’s being overly generous with their money or possessions. Tact is key even if you suspect other people are taking advantage of their generosity.  To avoid hurt feelings or misunderstandings, think carefully about how you are going to approach them with your suspicions.

AQUARIUS: A rival will rule themselves out of a competitive event. This will take you by surprise until you realise they had no hope of succeeding and have moved on to other things. This leaves the way open for you to push even harder to achieve your goals.  A family member is becoming overly dependent on your help, but you really need some personal space. It might be necessary to be firm in order to be able to address their demands early on and leave yourself with more time for your own interests, later.

PISCES: A pleasant surprise awaits you from a loved one as the week begins. Fortunately, you have no conflicting plans so this will allow you both of you to enjoy a delightful time together. In fact you will enjoy yourselves so much you may be booking something similar for the middle of May. It is possible that there will be resistance to proposed ideas for enhancing the work environment. Providing a thorough explanation of your thoughts may be necessary to ensure clarity and understanding. Once your expertise is evident, your colleagues are likely to give more weight to your recommendations.
