Horoscopes April 20–May 18

It is recommended to read your rising sign first, then the Sun after. You can read for your Moon sign as well, especially if you were born at night.

Aries

The vengeful God of War and sinister Father Time have one hand each enclosed around your throat. This has made speech impossible. Conserve what energy you’ve left; the grip will loosen as April winds up. If you have the will, arise at (or just before) dawn in order to get the jump on them.

Taurus

If you want to get beautiful pictures taken of yourself, what’s left of April is more auspicious than May. Try twisting your face into never-before-seen expressions. A bizarre force could come and twist it up for you, so having a bit of practice helps this run smoother. This period is really not the best time to go horse riding. 

Gemini

From the 26th of April onwards, you are hereby allowed to take everyone for a ride – but only if you have to. The point is that you will have to. Give out more slaps, electric shocks, loud rhetoric, revolting outfits, and unanswerable questions. You’ll be doing even more harm if you try to hold it in. Acquire a new instrument and play it loudly & terribly.

Cancer

Give yourself more treats at a constantly increasing rate, with exponentially decreasing guilt. You are actually able to transmute shame into pure joy and conviction this way. You must do everything you can to get enough (and good quality) sleep. Everything in moderation (including moderation). Absolutely don't open your emails after you clock off.

Leo

Very bizarre people are making their way towards you. Look them straight in the eye; if they melt in your light, you can dismiss them as quickly as they appeared. The ones who can hold it steady may bring gifts of liberation or a colourful anecdote. Accept any offers to join a group or club. The further out of your normal circle, the better.

Virgo

If your friends or organisations want to give you nice things, just let them. Giving (as distinct from “giving back”) is the ultimate prize. In return, you simply need to appreciate it genuinely. It could be something material or otherwise: perhaps some opportunity, some pretty words, or maybe an introduction to even more beautiful friends. 

Libra

Don’t let your lover (or business partner) get their hands on a scythe, spear, road spikes, or any flammables. They’ll be clawing for these items because they feel like they’re in existential danger (and they might be). This cycle won’t last forever, so take heed and love with all your heart.

Scorpio

The health of the body is still a very pressing issue, so don’t do backflips off of anything. Your pets are similarly at risk – safeguard them. Create new, complicated herbal tea blends; if they taste bad, they’re probably better for you.

Sagittarius

There is a much higher chance of your partner being way more gay than was originally assumed. Give them a lot of space; you can distract yourself with beautiful food, garments, and film. You may feel a strong urge to lie around – do it. Writer’s block may be impenetrably strong for a while.

Capricorn

Be very careful with the house. Higher possibility of leakage, structural problems, infestation of some sort, or just a general sense of disharmony amongst residents. Get outside as often as you can, if only because you’re much more likely to fall in love that way. Avoid taking a DNA test right now because it will speak only lies.

Aquarius

It might be a good time to ignore drama coming from any siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, or grandparents (parents are exempt from the list). Check the oil & water in your car, renew your HOP card, look both ways when crossing every street. Breathe deeply if you get stuck in a traffic jam.

Pisces

Everyone is finally leaving you to your own devices. You would be wise to spend as little money as possible over the next month; you’ll be needing good fortune on your side. Go for many walks. Help could come in the form of a child, a creative project, a sporting opportunity, or a gambling win.
