Horoscope for Sunday, April 05, 2026
Moon alert
Avoid shopping (except food and gas) and important decisions from 4 to 7 p.m. Chicago time. After that, the moon moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today it's easy to fall into the position that you are right and that your way is the way. Be careful about this because it could lead to disputes. Do what you can to protect your possessions against loss, theft or damage. Double-check banking, finances and shared property for surprises.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Be gentle with partners and close friends today. People are enthusiastic, but they might overstep their boundaries. Interactions with friends and groups could get out of hand with high energy that becomes bossy. Oops.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You have lots of energy to get things done today, but you might come on too strong for others. This is an accident-prone day, perhaps because unexpected events will catch some people off guard, creating distractions that are hard to deal with. Go gently.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Parents should be vigilant today because this is an accident-prone day for your kids. Nevertheless, you are surrounded by high energy that is keen to socialize. Sports events are favored. Parents and bosses might be a bit righteous or overbearing. Cope as best you can.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Steer clear of discussions about controversial subjects today because this could lead to arguments. Meanwhile, at home, small appliances might break down, or a minor breakage could occur. Guard against home accidents. Welcome any help and support you receive.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day. In discussions with others, be cautious against leaping to conclusions. If you feel overwhelmed by others today, seek some solitude where you can work at a steady, quiet pace.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today you have energy to work and get things done! Conversations with others will be lively but possibly contentious. The thing to know is that you need to protect your belongings against loss, theft or damage. Guard against impulse spending. You might find or lose money. (Yikes.)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Don't be too quick to react today — but you also have to be ready for surprises and disruptions. Work-related travel is likely. Sports events and social outings will be lively, even competitive. Pull in your energy a bit when dealing with others to keep the peace.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a restless day. Social outings might initially be enthusiastic and upbeat, but they could get out of hand or become too rambunctious. If you think something is overwhelming, step back and protect your privacy and peace of mind. Take a walk to clear the air, quite literally.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Someone might surprise you today. Or you might meet a real character. Family discussions will be lively because people are opinionated, even self-righteous. Make sure you listen to what others have to say because conversations flow both ways.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Be patient with parents and authority figures today because people might leap to conclusions or interrupt you. You might also have strong ideas about buying something or earning money, and you want to share these thoughts with someone. Communications are tricky today, so be polite and considerate.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Be mindful of your surroundings and what you're doing today because this is an accident-prone day. It's also a potentially argumentative day because everyone has strong opinions — including you. You might be excited about moneymaking ideas or perhaps a special purchase. Stay cool.
