Horoscopes: Wednesday, April 22, 2020

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t be too quick to align with the common opinion. It’s often reductive. One person’s weed is another person’s gourmet salad or the star of their Pinterest-worthy bouquet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will receive transmissions on an energetic level. You’ll think of someone and then cross paths, or you’ll have an idea and then be contacted by just the person to help.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When you get into a relationship, you hope it will lead to a more expansive life, not a more constrained one. This was once your subtle wish, and now it’s a conscious criteria.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Give your reality a good shake. Imagine what your life would be like without the current content. Imagine a different home, work and relationship, and you’ll appreciate what you have. Or you’ll see where things could change.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may have a plan, but don’t worry if you veer off. It just wasn’t Velcro enough to keep your creative spirit fixed to it. You will thrive in the in-between moments of unstructured time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll connect with your tribe, essentially having the same experience as your ancestors did 20,000 years ago when they sat around a fire and shared stories and dances under the stars.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may hear yourself paying lip service to an idea that your heart is not totally backing up. Your awareness of this conflict is most fortuitous. Work it out. Save yourself from fully committing to a bad fit.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In his poem “Truth is the Person Who is There” Geoff Bouvier suggests, “The sky meets the mountain with no further obligation.” You’ll be the sky. You’ll be the mountain. Both are grateful positions.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be negotiating in some way. It may feel uncomfortable to ask for what you really want, but it’s important to do it anyway. Definitely don’t cave to the other person’s stance. Meet in the middle.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re in a circumstance that’s very much like a game and yet there are at least 20 more important things than winning at stake. Top three: the people you get to meet, the honing of skills and team spirit.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Like a shaman, you will have your foot in two different worlds today, forming a bridge between those who would otherwise find it very difficult to communicate. You’ll carry messages from one side to the other.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Everyone prefers environments where they feel large and in charge. Going where you know you’ll be out of your element -- whether it’s an actual place, relationship or other realm -- takes guts. You have guts.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 22). Your cosmic birthday gift includes a bundle of transcendent moments. You define yourself in new and unique ways, claiming a path that’s all your own. From matters of spirituality to relationships, you are recognizing your own needs and customizing approaches and systems that bring precisely the experience you crave. Aquarius and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 40, 28, 13 and 9.
