Horoscope for Monday, April 21, 2025

Moon alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your interactions with others will flow easily today. In particular, conversations with younger people will be upbeat and encouraging. Nevertheless, there will be a gravitas and sense of importance to whatever you say, which will encourage respect from others. Remember to be diplomatic.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

People notice you today, and they seem to know personal aspects about your private life. It's important to be aware of this in case you have some issues you want to hide. Fortunately, discussions with authority figures will be positive and confidence-building. Act quickly to control the narrative.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

By nature, you're a curious person, and today your curiosity will be satisfied because opportunities to learn and discover new things will abound! You'll find it easy to research and look deeply for meaningful information. Some of you will make travel plans — or perhaps blow town? ("I'm outta here.")

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

If you have to negotiate financial matters with others or decide how to divide or share something (perhaps an inheritance or shared property), you'll be convincing and persuasive today. You'll be clever with your words and, at the same time, firm and resolute.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the moon is opposite your sign, which requires finesse and diplomacy on your part to deal with those who are close to you. (Don't worry, you've got this.) It's an excellent day to study and pursue opportunities in publishing, the media, travel, medicine and the law.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you want to make improvements and reforms at work. In fact, this impulse might extend to your health, which is why you will look for ways to improve your body or reduce unhealthy habits. Meanwhile, you'll be chatty with work colleagues.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a lovely way to begin your week. Social opportunities and chances to schmooze with others will please you. Also, discussions with kids and involvement with children's activities will be positive. However, if a situation requires it, you'll be firm. Like Napoleon Bonaparte, you'll be an "iron fist in a velvet glove."

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Discussions with family members might be intense and emotional because smoldering energies from the past might surface. Don't come on too strong. Remember your objective. Furthermore, be aware that you might be obsessed about something today. Easy does it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is a tricky day because you might be obsessed about something or have compulsive feelings. In turn, this could make you determined to convince others to agree with your point of view. For winning results, cultivate a lighthearted approach when talking to your kids or a romantic partner.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be careful shopping today because you might be obsessed about buying something, especially if it's on sale. Furthermore, you can be influenced by status and prestigious labels, which can tempt you to go overboard. "This Fendi is 70% off!"

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the moon is in your sign, which might make you a bit more emotional than usual. Because it is lined up with Pluto, you will say what you mean and mean what you say — with authority. In other news, you'll be curious about the world around you today.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Tread carefully today because unconscious issues might influence your thoughts and behavior. However, on the upside, you might have clever, moneymaking ideas? Financial news or news about something you own might delight you today. Great day to schmooze.

If today is your birthday

Actress Andie MacDowell (1958) shares your birthday. You are proud, dignified and sympathetic. You have high standards and are tenacious. Take time to reflect this year and perhaps renew your spiritual or religious beliefs. Learn and teach. Explore philosophies that will give you a better self-awareness and get you closer to the true meaning of your life.
