Daily Horoscope 29/04/2010

Aries

You're looking beautiful and feeling passionate, Aries. If only your passions could be reciprocated! Even though there may not be anyone special in your life right now, that's no reason to not treat yourself well. Go out for a nice meal or, better yet, order take-out and dine at home, complete with music, candles, and your finest china. You should appreciate yourself even if no one else does at the moment.

Taurus

This could be a frustrating day in the romance department, Taurus. Communication is blocked at all levels. You're anxious to speak with your loved one, but simply can't reach him or her. Perhaps the phone system is malfunctioning or e-mail is acting up. You feel as though the Universe is conspiring against you. Take heart. Your partner will contact you soon enough, and your reunion will be electric!

Gemini

You have certainly felt better than you do today, Gemini. We'll pause here while you go and fetch the aspirin. The stomachache and headache are simply the result of recent overindulgence. Don't worry - you'll be fit as a fiddle by tomorrow morning. Next time someone offers you multiple helpings of food or drink, however, you might want to consider politely declining!

Cancer

You could be feeling playful today, Cancer. Your romantic partner will certainly appreciate your fun-loving mood. Why not plan a fun day together doing something other than your usual routine? Rather than dinner and a movie, how about lunch and a visit to a museum or art gallery? You have both been working very hard lately. Your relationship will benefit from an injection of spontaneity.

Leo

Don't be surprised if you have a desire to redecorate. The celestial energies have put you in the mood to rearrange your house a bit. Take care to not go overboard, Leo. You have a tendency to turn little projects into big ones. For now, content yourself with buying some flowering plants and perhaps new area rugs and throw pillows. Leave the kitchen and bath renovations for later.

Virgo

Be sure to answer all phone calls and open all letters and e-mails today, Virgo. You're likely to receive some interesting news. You might get word from a former boss that you'd be perfect for a new position opening up in his or her office. Or perhaps an old lover makes tentative inquiries about renewing old bonds. Your eyebrows will rise in surprise at least once during this day. Expect the unexpected!

Libra

Just as a watched pot never boils, so, too, do anxiously awaited checks or letters refuse to arrive in the mail, Libra. Beyond double-checking that the person or company has your correct address, there isn't much you can do but continue to wait. Trust that it will arrive shortly, and then your financial difficulties will be behind you.

Scorpio

No doubt you're feeling attractive and passionate today, Scorpio. Don't be surprised if a former lover gets in touch with you to try and rekindle the old flame. The attention is flattering, to be sure, but you're unlikely to have any desire to pursue the relationship. You're happy with what you have right now. And as they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Sagittarius

As you get older, you're drawn more and more to spiritual matters, Sagittarius. It isn't so much that you're embracing any particular religion, more that you're quite curious about the supernatural and some of the ancient arts. Take some time today to visit the library or bookstore and do some reading on the subject. You might want to form a study group with other like-minded individuals.

Capricorn

Don't hesitate to try something new today, Capricorn. If you've thought about joining a book club or taking a class, do it today! You're likely to meet some interesting people and enter a new social world. You might be tentative at first, but you'll find the group warm, friendly, and eager for your input. You'll talk like old friends by the end of the second meeting. This is just the infusion of fun you need!

Aquarius

You're likely to feel optimistic and enthusiastic about life today, Aquarius. You might also feel especially sexy, a feeling you should definitely take advantage of! Why not plan a romantic evening with your loved one? Don't hesitate to talk about your travel dreams over dinner. You never know, he or she just might share your dream. Before you know it, the two of you could be winging your way to exotic lands.

Pisces

Today is full of possibilities, Pisces. You could fall in love at first sight, or at least meet someone who captures your interest! You should be feeling especially loving, passionate, and eager to devote yourself to a worthy cause or creative activity. Don't expect everything to fall into place right away. You could hit a few obstacles, but the ultimate result will be worth the bumps along the way.

Chinese Horoscope 29/04/2010

Rat

The energy today gives you the wisdom to say no at the right time. Too many responsibilities can leave you tired and unfulfilled. More outgoing friends may try to draw you out, but taking time for yourself is recommended. It's important to eat carefully and get enough rest.

Ox

Someone you very much enjoy could be your biggest fan and protector today. Your sympathetic nature is appreciated by all of those around you. This is a day for cooperation and teamwork. Spend as much time as possible helping your special circle of work associates or close friends.

Tiger

Your natural diplomacy and charm is strong today. It can open doors in any area you care about. Even if things seem hopeless, anything worth doing is worth trying again and again. Someone you care deeply about might be willing to help you. Share any frustrations you are experiencing.

Rabbit

Events might threaten the peace at home, so be careful. It's easy to get caught up in drama. Some will try to balance two demanding relationships at once. Channel all this extra energy into something more constructive. Any need to escape is better used planning a welcome vacation.

Dragon

A new hairstyle or other change in your looks can do wonders if you're feeling restless. Consult health experts and take their advice. Don't be afraid to make a bold statement. On other fronts, longstanding frustrations can see breakthroughs if you seek the help of experts.

Snake

Be cautious about overcommitting your time and resources. A strong-willed or persuasive person might make an offer you should refuse. You have a right to your personal space. Don't share more than is comfortable. If you're stressed, there is a risk of running roughshod over other people's feelings.

Horse

It would be a good idea to be more direct about your opinions with family and loved ones. You have great ideas and it's important to share any solution for a challenging problem. You'll easily take the lead. Things can be more pleasant if you look for win-win solutions.

Goat

Today will demand all your diplomatic skills. Strong-willed or domineering people might be especially irritating. Listen carefully and try to find common ground. Your ability to adapt yourself to others will smooth the waters. A sincere apology can work wonders. A secret or forbidden attraction can be distracting.

Monkey

You and someone you like could have a ferocious argument and then make up all in the same day. People who are as feisty as you will give you the best feedback. Don't be afraid to be challenged. There could be a lot of pushing to see who is first.

Rooster

Make a list of things you need to do today and work on one thing at a time. See how much you can accomplish, but don't worry about doing everything. A balance of work and play is best. This is an excellent time to take a break with someone special.

Dog

Divide your time between work responsibilities and favorite interests at home. You might want to upgrade things around the house or plan for a gathering of friends. Be generous with any children close to you. A tendency to indulge in too many delicious treats can lead to regrets later.

Pig

This could be a slow day. You'll be smart to stall any major decision for a later time. You can become ferocious if someone gives you a hard time or harms your family in any way. There is nothing wrong with telling someone what you think in no uncertain terms.

 

Daily Horoscope 28/04/2010

Aries

One couldn't really say that you have a hard time making decisions regarding your love life, Aries. You're a passionate person and you believe in love at first sight. You're probably the most spontaneous lover in the Zodiac! Add to that, you're entering a period in which your emotions will be on fire. All the elements are there to ignite your creativity in every aspect of your life.

Taurus

You enjoy reaping rewards for all your efforts. But in your love life, you have to admit that you can never be sure of the quantity or the quality of the fruits of your labors. Yet, today, Taurus, you could realize that it's time to plant some new seeds. You might not know how they'll turn out, but you do know better than anyone else that you can't win if you don't play.

Gemini

You probably know that you don't attain freedom in one fell swoop, but rather bit by bit as you go through life, Gemini. Perhaps you've been feeling as if you don't have enough freedom. Over the next few days you could find the situations or people you need in order to liberate yourself. Don't forget that love is the greatest freedom of all. It could be time to make room for it in your life.

Cancer

Throughout the day you may get the feeling that something has changed in the way people relate to each other, Cancer. It will be as if people are surer of themselves, more open, more expressive. Where, exactly, do you fit into all of this? Are you in a mood to charm other people just for fun? This period is perfect for taking care of your appearance and getting in shape. Do it!

Leo

You can relax a little at last! That's what you could be thinking with today's celestial energy. The time is perfect to get ready for the challenges that up to now were just anxieties inside you. If you're thinking clearly today, Leo, it's because you have the strength to face your problems. Now that you have your self-confidence back, you might open your heart even wider to someone dear.

Virgo

You're interested in better understanding yourself and your reactions to the world around you. Well, Virgo, today you should take the time to look over your successes and failures, especially where your family life is concerned. The atmosphere is changing and things will be much more positive over the next few days. Think about sharing with other people what you have learned.

Libra

This is a perfect day for falling in love, Libra! You can expect anything to happen today. You could even meet someone who is ready to love, support, and listen to you when you need him or her most. You need to put all your fears and hesitations behind you on a day like today. Besides, a little madness every now and then won't hurt. Throw caution to the wind!

Scorpio

Today, Scorpio, you'll really be in the limelight. This could help you change what is sometimes a very negative image you have of yourself. You have a certain kind of energy and magnetism about you - it's about time someone noticed! It's only natural that you should be proud of yourself, and that other people should acknowledge your hard work and effort. Revel in this moment of glory!

Sagittarius

If you've been feeling a little under the weather, today's planetary configuration will make you feel a whole lot better, Sagittarius. In a few days you'll have the strength to pick up where you left off on the projects you perhaps began last month. A lot of things are changing in your life. Your motivations are evolving and your ambitions could be taking a different direction.

Capricorn

Today is another passionate day in a series of passionate days! Usually, Capricorn, you're a fairly reserved person where feelings are concerned. You'll be much more demonstrative with your emotions over the next few days. Your sign can be a fire trapped inside a wall of ice, and today that ice is beginning to melt! Let it – and enjoy it!

Aquarius

If you come across someone a little strange or eccentric today, try and get to know him or her, because that person could be a reflection of part of you. The person will help you to see how modern and innovative you are, and how much you should appreciate your wonderful qualities. Meeting this person could be a kind of exercise in self-satisfaction

Pisces

If you often help people in need, or if helping people is part of your profession, this day will bring certain ideas to light, Pisces. You need to take the time on a regular basis to take care of yourself. If you don't, you won't be able to continue to help others. Think about it and stop making excuses for why you can't do it. Think of yourself for a change.

Chinese Horoscope 28/04/2010

Rat

The energy today can see you worried about your appearance. How the world sees you is important. Your natural elegance doesn't require expensive clothing to make a good impression. A weakness today can come from a hesitation to share what you're thinking or ask for expert help.

Ox

Spend time today improving your personal style. Carefully choose any purchases and avoid impulse buying. A gentler approach will help you in romantic situations. Honest answers are better than hiding when you feel insecure or upset. It's important to stand up for yourself, especially when feeling discouraged.

Tiger

Do your best with what you have in front of you. Be especially alert to what is going on with any children in your family. They could be keeping secrets about what is happening at school. Someone who cares for you would like to get closer. Confidence is most attractive.

Rabbit

Don't be discouraged by negative comments or unexpected roadblocks that come your way. If you're feeling particularly emotional, you'd be wise to talk with someone you trust. This can bring renewed inspiration. Gossip and secondhand reports should be ignored. Refuse to let rumors make you angry.

Dragon

Your active and adventurous nature is in high gear today. If you want an adventure, check your schedule and start making plans. Be careful about overestimating what you can do at one time. You may end up taking on too much or making promises you don't want to keep.

Snake

This is a high-energy day for you. It's likely you'll be very sure of yourself. You may not want to compromise your plans. Strong opinions can make you seem demanding. It can alienate people who might not share your views. Arguments about religion or politics are possible.

Horse

The energy is scattered. Confused feelings, arguments, and impulsive actions are possible. It's best to wait before making any important decision. There may be unexpected changes just ahead. Return phone calls and don't neglect your promises. This is a lucky evening to carve out some quiet time with your sweetheart.

Goat

A brighter day brings unexpected opportunities. Saying the right thing helps smooth your path. Be as cooperative as possible with those in positions of authority. Your willingness to work hard is necessary for eventual success in any endeavor. Refuse to give up in any area you feel passionately about.

Monkey

You can be at the top of your game today. It's a busy time with lots of responsibilities. Stay focused and keep your temper under control. All will go well. You may want to confront someone about his or her attitude. Any longstanding resentment or secret could demand action.

Rooster

Surprising news can have you reconsidering past decisions. You might be asked to trust someone you don't know well, and this could have you feeling especially suspicious. It's better to be cautious and take your time getting to know someone. Say what you think, but don't reveal too much.

Dog

Today you can discover renewed hope by applying a more spiritual point of view to all your affairs. This is a positive time to volunteer your time and talents to the community or support events close to home. An old love could have you wishing for what might have been.

Pig

Keep your sense of humor in any difficult situation. Your self-control and focus are strong today. If you get enough sleep and exercise, your ability to cope with any challenge will be especially strong. Tonight you can be lucky in love. Any tendency to be secretive can work against you.

Daily Horoscope 26/04/2010

Aries

This would be a good day to putter about the house, Aries. It isn't a good day to travel or begin any major projects. This could be just the excuse you've needed for taking a day off from your life! You need not answer the phone or fulfill any obligations whatsoever. Simply stay put and tackle some minor household chores. If even that proves too much, then curl up with some tea and a good book.

Taurus

This isn't the best day for get-togethers, Taurus. What starts as a friendly lunch could wind up a gossip-fest. No one wins in that situation. You could fear leaving the table because of what they'd say about you. There's no upside to the situation, so your best strategy might be to stay home and work on chores. At least you'll have the satisfaction of feeling that you've accomplished something.

Gemini

Don't take anything you hear today at face value, Gemini, especially where money is concerned. A well-meaning friend could approach you with an opportunity not to be missed. Listen to the pitch and take down all the information, but don't make any kind of commitment. You'll likely see several flaws when you review the information later. Point them out to your friend. You'll save this person money and embarrassment by speaking up.

Cancer

This would be a good day to stay home and spend much of the day in bed, Cancer! You've been working especially hard lately, juggling both home and work with your usual aplomb. But today you could feel a bit worn out and overwhelmed by everything that remains to be done. Give yourself a day of rest. Spend the day with a good book or some movies. You'll find this solitary time refreshing.

Leo

Love is very much in the air today, Leo, so take advantage of this auspicious environment! Invite your loved one over to play hide and seek under the bedcovers! Or, if you don't have a playmate in your life at the moment, find other ways to fulfill the passion you feel. Spend the afternoon reading a good novel or invite a friend to watch a movie with you. Have a good time!

Virgo

This is a day to stay close to home and organize the house. You might be thinking how you can best utilize your living space. It's clear that some improvements are in order, Virgo. Perhaps you could begin by tackling all those minor repairs that you've been putting off. Once those are done, a fresh coat of paint will do wonders to brighten both your home and your outlook.

Libra

You need rest, Libra. Even though you have a long list of tasks, see if you can leave some for later. All signs indicate that you shouldn't stray too far from home today if you can help it. You're easily distracted, which makes you prone to accidents. Being behind the wheel of a car isn't the place for you right now. Stay home and tackle all those little chores you've been meaning to finish.

Scorpio

You're on your own when it comes to financial matters, Scorpio. This may not be what you want to hear, but it's how things are. Trust that your business acumen will pull you through. Don't take anything at face value. Pay attention, write down the information, but make no commitments and sign no contracts. The environment isn't right for any deals. If a deal is valid today, it will still be valid tomorrow.

Sagittarius

Today would be best spent alone behind closed doors, if possible. There's a lot of tension in your household for some reason, Sagittarius. Since there isn't much you can do about it, try to avoid it altogether. Let your family members fight it out among themselves. You have better ways to spend your time. Why not take in a movie? When you go by yourself, you don't have to share the popcorn!

Capricorn

There is a lot of tension in the air today, Capricorn. It isn't just affecting your home environment - everyone you meet seems out of sorts. You'll be happiest if you spend much of today in solitude. Books don't honk their horn at you and DVDs don't curse your driving ability. Who needs the aggravation that a day like today can bring? Enjoy a day away from other people's bad moods.

Aquarius

You feel that life would run more smoothly if money didn't exist! The amount of time and energy you spend sorting out your financial affairs is frustrating. Unfortunately, Aquarius, today will be a frustrating day. Today you need to sit down and sort out some neglected bills. It isn't fun, but at least by the end of the day you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that you got it done.

Pisces

You feel invincible, Pisces, as though you can do anything. Enjoy this abundance of energy, for it's certainly unusual. Take care not to overdo it. If you haven't jogged in a while, running five miles today will leave you pretty sore tomorrow. Similarly, don't try to finish all your household repairs in one day. Remember that slow and easy wins the race and keeps you in shape for the long haul!

Chinese Horoscope 26/04/2010

Rat

Your strength is much appreciated, but people might not understand your motives. Although you can be a loyal friend, any tendency to keep secrets can alienate you from people who could be helpful. The more honest and open you can be, the better your relationships will be.

Ox

The challenge today is to make the best with limited resources. Be patient if things take longer than expected. You'll be especially sensitive to the moods of others. This makes it easier to say the right thing even in situations where emotions run high. A relaxed attitude is best.

Tiger

Romance might be in the air today. It's positive for meeting new people. You may be under the spell of an unrealistic infatuation. You could be asked to give up your plans unnecessarily. There may be a confusing drama just behind the scenes. Be flexible but draw clear boundaries.

Rabbit

If you've been thinking of an activity other people consider dangerous or risky, this could be the day to move ahead with your plans. Talk to someone you respect about how to best achieve longstanding desires. There is a risk of conflict over something you refuse to admit.

Dragon

This is a day when you have an opportunity to get your life in better balance. Are you sacrificing too much? Sometimes it's better to be more selfish. You can get what you want if you speak up. You might need help from multiple sources in order to succeed.

Snake

If you've been considering a change, you may at last be ready to make the leap. At the same time, you could be feeling especially irritable. Try not to say hurtful things of a personal nature. Do your best to get what you want without making a big scene.

Horse

Hard work and a focus on responsibilities is the best policy today. You may find you're worrying more than usual. Discipline yourself to hold positive expectations. Many people care about you and will step up to be of service. Don't hesitate to ask for what you need.

Goat

This is a day to celebrate. If you have a sweetheart, make arrangements to do something special soon. No matter what your situation, time away from ordinary cares and responsibilities is important. Simple pleasures need not be expensive to be rewarding. Be open to spiritual lessons that are all around you.

Monkey

This can be a very productive day. Maintain a steady pace and be cautious about insisting your way is the only possible solution. Happy times with family bring a feeling of greater peace and balance. You can get things done and still consider the feelings of others.

Rooster

This can be a stressful day. Family troubles or another's bad behavior can be very distracting. A challenging situation will clarify your values. If necessary, call a friend to help cheer you up. Knowing you're doing your best and staying on task can be the greatest source of satisfaction.

Dog

A strong sense of style and apparent innocence are weapons in your hands. Even when people don't entirely support your thinking, they will want to help you achieve your goals. Family concerns should come first. Don't believe a sad story from someone you don't know well.

Pig

This is a day when you can set a good example. Your calm and sensible manner makes you an asset in any situation. Team efforts and working with children are both areas where you can shine. People will appreciate your work ethic. Seek any opportunity to help an older person

Daily Horoscope 25/04/2010

Aries

Your desire to respect and honor the special someone in your life clashes today with an equally strong desire to become a passionate persuader, Aries. The secret to resolving this conflict lies in knowing that the two aren't mutually exclusive. Also, if you're going to make the most of both drives, you need to tune in to your partner's thoughts and feelings. Zero in on what you both want and then go for it! Enjoy your day.

Taurus

Have you been harboring a secret desire for someone you believe thinks of you only as a friend, Taurus? Don't be surprised if you learn differently today. This is a day when hidden passions may suddenly be revealed - and your friend could unexpectedly divulge a covert attraction to you! The only downside is that sometimes it can be a letdown when fantasies become reality. Take note of your reaction before moving ahead.

Gemini

Today you could encounter a work colleague and suddenly feel an unexpected romantic attraction, Gemini. This could catch you off guard because you never before thought about this person in that way. Before jumping in with both feet, give yourself some time to come down. You're feeling especially sensual today, so this might well pass by tomorrow. Stay grounded for now. If the attraction is still there in a few days, think about it!

Cancer

A sum of money that you might have been expecting from far away may be delayed, Cancer. This could be frustrating for you, but don't panic. The money is indeed coming. So unless your situation is urgent, just sit back and wait. If you want to check with those who are sending it, by all means do so. However, you'll probably find that the matter is out of their hands. Be patient and hang in there.

Leo

Sex and romance are top priority for you today, Leo. You're looking especially beautiful, you're feeling especially sensual, and you could well attract admiring looks from strangers. You might want to indulge in some new clothes or perhaps new cologne. This is definitely the perfect day to schedule an intimate evening with a love partner. If you can, go for it. It might be a day or two before your schedules mesh, however. Be patient!

Virgo

If you're single, Virgo, tonight you could find yourself longing for a lover from the past and wondering what's happening with this person right now. If you're currently involved, you might be experiencing a temporary separation from your beloved, and could feel inclined to spend the evening at home. If you choose to do this, entertain yourself with a favorite book or movie. Remember - a watched phone never rings!

Libra

Are you waiting for a love partner to telephone you at work, Libra? As much as you want to hear from your friend, you could well get so caught up in your work that you wouldn't hear a marching band go by. As you work, be sure to keep one ear tuned to the real world by looking up or getting up and walking around occasionally. Otherwise, you might sabotage what you want the most today.

Scorpio

Your sensuality is tempered today with a touch of the mystical sort of romantic feeling found in fairy tales, Scorpio. This might be unusual for you, but your current partner is going to love it! If you're single, you're likely to attract a lot of attention and possibly meet someone new and exciting. Take care that you make the effort to see the real person and not just a romantic image. Good luck!

Sagittarius

A desire to spruce up your home might start with a thorough cleaning from attic to basement, Sagittarius. You could go through that chore like gangbusters and then do some repairs or go for the fun stuff, such as redecorating with plants or even some new furniture. You can have a lot of fun with this, especially if your partner or friends help out. Work hard and enjoy your day!

Capricorn

A love partner could contact you out of the blue, Capricorn, perhaps proposing that the two of you get together tonight - alone. You're in just the mood for this, since you're feeling especially sexy and not particularly afraid to show it. An evening at home or in a dark corner of your favorite restaurant might be just the ticket. Don't be surprised if your friend orders champagne and shows up with flowers! Have fun!

Aquarius

Have you been waiting to hear about some funds, Aquarius, perhaps to create a piece of art, write a book, or make a documentary film? If so, you could have a lot to celebrate today when you receive news that the money is forthcoming! Don't be surprised if there's a delay, however. The project is still going to happen, but just a little later than you'd hoped. All you can do now is be patient.

Pisces

Someone at your workplace could suddenly find you very attractive and make no secret of it today, Pisces. How you respond, of course, is up to you, but if you don't reciprocate this person's feelings, don't respond positively simply because you're flattered. This could cause trouble for you down the line, particularly if this person is in a position of authority. Hold out for the right person!

Chinese Horoscope 25/04/2010

Rat

This can be a very relaxing day. Family activities can be quite pleasant. Take the time to do things for children or young people you know. If there has been a problem or stress in the family, this is a good day to forget your troubles and have fun.

Ox

This can be a special day if you get out and mix with people. Your gentle charm and an optimistic attitude will be much appreciated by others. Don't hesitate to ask for help. There is a risk of hurting a friendship if you aren't honest about your feelings.

Tiger

Don't sacrifice too much for the sake of others today. Give yourself permission to put your needs first. Happiness comes when you allow yourself to have fun. Music and groups that share your interests can bring spiritual inspiration. Friends and community events offer new possibilities. Say yes to any invitation.

Rabbit

You might find it hard to focus on work or chores at home. Call a good friend and make plans to do something exciting soon. You need more variety and adventure in your life. Time in the gym, a run, or other physical activity can help you feel more balanced.

Dragon

The energy today favors travel and new beginnings. It's ideal for a short holiday. You might move in an unexpected direction. It's time to get out and explore your world. You don't have to go far or spend much money to have a real sense of adventure and fun.

Snake

This is a powerful time to set new goals for yourself. This could mean there can be arguments at home. Is your need to be in control creating rebellion in the family? Longstanding resentments can affect your judgment. Do your best to see things clearly and find a balance.

Horse

This can be a happy and productive day, but it might be difficult to avoid arguments. Do your best to see the bright side and leave your worries for another day. Time around any group that shares your interests could supply you with an extra dose of creative inspiration.

Goat

This is a day to celebrate. If you have a sweetheart, make arrangements to do something special soon. No matter what your situation, time away from ordinary cares and responsibilities is important. Simple pleasures need not be expensive to be rewarding. Be open to spiritual lessons that are all around you.

Monkey

This is a lucky day to remember close friends. Do something special today or at the very least make plans to get together soon. Springtime exuberance brings an opportunity to try new things. Follow your own lead. The opinions of others shouldn't override your plans. It's time to have fun.

Rooster

Today the stars shine on any new beginning. Make specific plans for the future. The family you love will be your biggest source of inspiration and support. This is a terrific time for celebration. You might feel an urge to eat, drink, or spend too much. Treat yourself, within reason.

Dog

Your natural generosity is strong. A more spiritual or compassionate focus can make a major difference in the lives of others today. Tolerate unusual behavior from friends and family and allow your playful side to shine. You can have a great deal of fun with someone special.

Pig

You can now reexamine situations that you've been coping with for a long time and pretending nothing is wrong. You can live a life that gives you joy and satisfaction. Make and keep close a list of things that you intend to change. Don't be afraid to do things differently

Chinese Horoscope 24/04/2010

Rat

Revising your plans will only make them better. It's a lucky day to get out and be active. Exercise can help you deal with frustrations on any level. Friends who might not share all your views can still be fun. Refuse to let small differences hurt a friendship.

Ox

Seek compromise solutions today for best results. Good communication and team effort will see you shine. Don't hesitate to ask for help. You don't have to be an expert in anything. Be sure you're on the same page with the family. Misunderstanding is possible if you make assumptions.

Tiger

Combine social and personal pleasures today. Simple pleasures like meeting someone for a chat or a good meal can be the high point of your day. It's an excellent time for any sort of sports or physical challenge. Time spent close to nature will improve your perspective.

Rabbit

Today is a wonderful time to get out of a rut and expand your horizons. Network with people as far from you as possible. Benefits come from exploring the world. This is an excellent time for making travel plans. You might have fewer worries, or at least they perhaps won't seem as significant.

Dragon

Improving a problem situation concerning your home, or even moving in a new direction, is favored if you get organized. Making lists will be more helpful than you imagine. Doing one thing at a time is best. Any restriction or delay shouldn't be taken as an excuse to give up.

Snake

It could be a "three steps forward, two steps back" sort of day. This shouldn't discourage you. Keep a sense of humor in the face of little roadblocks or changes of plan. Stay calm, but hold your ground if children or other immature people are difficult.

Horse

Your warmhearted nature can ease any stressful situation for those around you. Make detailed lists in any area where you want to get organized. Share your joy today. There are good things about being silly that you need to share. People will want to do things with you.

Goat

This can be a very social day. Go out even if at first you don't feel like it. Maybe your long list of things to do can wait. Find simple ways to have fun for little money. Some will find a new romantic interest where they least expect it.

Monkey

Use your intuition to tune in to your friend's mind, and you'll probably feel your doubts and uncertainties slip away. Enjoy your day.

Pisces

If you play your cards right, Pisces, you just might be able to turn what you're picking up psychically into an exalted creative effort.
