Horoscopes: Monday, April 29, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). An idea can be every bit as dramatic as the main character in the drama — in fact, the idea just may be the main character today. It will have as much credence as you give it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a fine line between an independent spirit and stubbornness. “The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is that one comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won’t.” — Henry Ward Beecher

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Worry won’t do you any good and could in fact wear on your immune system. On a spiritual level, worry restricts the flow of good fortune. Stress dissipates when you have a plan on paper that makes sense to you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Money can be a strangely emotional commodity because it’s never really about the paper it’s printed on. We buy and sell because we’re emotional about money, though this approach is not particularly helpful. Buy and sell based on data. Moods will come and go, but the facts will remain.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The apathetic may not be the enemy, rather, they are uninformed. They just don’t see what’s at stake. Change will happen when people understand things differently. You’ll earn trust by educating without pushing an agenda.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some things are not meant for pursuit. For instance, chasing things such as happiness and love only makes them run. It may seem the more desirable a thing is, the less attainable it is, but don’t let that stop you. Attraction is the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Though not one for reveling in others’ misfortunes, the woes of a tragic figure of entertainment or someone in your social circle can make you appreciate your own lot — imperfect, yes, but certainly better off than many.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Balance will be restored. A bit of dialogue and those with surplus will share with those in need, restoring equilibrium. If there’s a question, it will boil down to this: If it seems too good to be true, it is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even if you’ve got no news, reaching out to loved ones is worthwhile. You’ll be amazed at the serendipitous tidbits that surface in unstructured conversations.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). So few people are patient these days, and so many rely on patience from others and would be left behind or run over without it. This inequity is why the world desperately needs your patience.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In new circumstances, take a moment to orient yourself. Knowing your North Star will be key to getting anywhere at all. Without this step, even the best map can’t help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re doing your best with your current understanding. You’ll soon know better, do better and miss the stage you’re at right now. So love it while you’re here.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 29). It’s a year in which you cannot help but push the boundaries of what’s possible. You will awe an audience. You will be both accomplished and quite humble because the work you do will be more fulfilling than ego gratification. More highlights: Lovely relationships enhance many realms of your life at once. You’ll save record amounts, and a group will make you their leader. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 2, 14, 1 and 34.
