Horoscope for Wednesday, April 08, 2026

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping (except food and gas) or major decisions from 4:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. After that, the moon moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a tricky day. In one way, you're strong and powerful because the sun and Saturn are in your sign; plus, your ruler Mars is stimulated by unpredictable Uranus. But in another way, dealings with parents and bosses might disappoint. Guard against impulse spending.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

News in the media might be depressing today. Likewise, issues related to travel, publishing, medicine and the law might disappoint. However, a friend or a member of a group might surprise you today by what they say or do. Guard against a hasty response.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Think before you speak today when talking with friends or dealing with groups and organizations because you might impulsively say or do something that you later regret. Nobody wants egg on their face. (Ketchup helps.) Guard against knee-jerk reactions today.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Although you make an excellent impression on others, dealings with partners, spouses and close friends might be strained today. You might feel criticized or diminished. Be careful of sudden impulses to travel or do something unusual. Give everything a sober second thought, which is your style.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Issues related to publishing, the media, law, and medicine might be disputed today, especially if they relate to your job. Dealing with different cultures or different countries might create difficulties. Financial arrangements might suddenly change. Go slowly and gently today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your dealings with partners, spouses and close friends might be challenged today. They might suddenly attack you about an issue or vice versa — they might suddenly feel that you're on their case. This could relate to disappointing social occasions or something to do with sports or your kids. Romance is also dicey. (Yikes!)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Family discussions are confusing today. You might have a vague, dreamy approach to something. You might have fleeting depression or feel that nobody loves you. That’s because it’s difficult to relate to others today, and sudden, unexpected events could throw things off course. Patience.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You're in work mode. But if someone criticizes you today, or they're uncooperative, or they suggest things that are unrealistic, this will discourage you. Meanwhile, parents must be vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your children. Sports and social occasions might suddenly change.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You're in a playful, social mood. Unfortunately, someone might rain on your parade, which is a bummer. Furthermore, your home routine might suddenly change today due to appliance breakdowns, minor breakages or unexpected company. Stock the fridge.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today, the moon is in your sign, giving you a slight advantage over the other signs. Don't be upset if you feel cut off from someone today. You might feel lonely or ignored. This is just a temporary dark cloud on your horizon. Meanwhile, pay attention to everything because this is an accident-prone day. (Gulp.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today you might find money; you might lose money. Keep an eye on your possessions to avoid loss, theft or damage. Meanwhile, you might feel vaguely disconnected from others. Or perhaps you feel misunderstood. Stay calm because this is a temporary influence.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Because you might be alarmed or disappointed by comments from a friend or a member of a group, you might impulsively do something that you later regret. You won't like restrictions today. Be smart and be mindful.

If today is your birthday

Actress Robin Wright (1966) shares your birthday today. You are empathetic, humanitarian and compassionate. You are also strong-willed and active. Simplicity is the key to life this year. It's time to create solid foundations internally and externally. Stay grounded and levelheaded. Physical exercise will play an important role. Stay organized to accomplish your goals.
