Your Horoscope for the Week of April 19

Get ready to rumble! This week’s horoscope is packing a lot of energy. The Sun enters Taurus on April 19, starting a month full of indulgence and pleasure. Later in the day, Mars and Saturn form a conjunction in Aries, urging us to take charge and fight for our beliefs. Mercury, Mars, and Saturn come together on April 20, causing arguments with those who try to step on our toes. Venus and Uranus link up in Taurus on April 23, giving us the motivation to break out of relationship ruts. Venus enters Gemini on April 24, bringing lightness to matters of the heart and intellectualism to partnerships. Uranus moves into Gemini on April 25, allowing us to individuate in the ways we want. The Sun in Taurus squares Pluto in Aquarius on the 25th, bringing conflict to the forefront of dynamics if we're not careful.

You may think you’re helping a friend in need, but you are creating conflict by telling them how to live. Your intention to do good could backfire, leading others to perceive you as bossy and controlling. To keep the vibe chill, offer advice on occasion, and never interrogate their actions.

A colleague who is jealous of your success is plotting to make moves behind your back to climb the corporate ladder. Don’t stress out because their plans are not going to come to fruition in the way they thought. No one likes game playing at the office, especially management.

Being yourself takes courage (a word that inspires you to be an individual). The caveat is that finding your true calling may be challenging. The more you meditate on what makes you happy and not what others believe, the easier it’ll be to walk down your own path with ease and confidence.

Frustrations at work are hitting a climax this week. Before popping off and creating a dramatic scene that rivals Jerry Maguire, consider a mellow approach and discuss when and how you can expect a raise or promotion. Send emails without the snark and bite. Kindness helps your cause and campaign.

You’ll do anything to ascend to the top of your field, but won’t betray a friend who’s on the rise as well. Rather than fight each other, try to support and assist each other in achieving personal goals. There is room for both of you to gain prosperity and popularity.

Money is a bit of a sensitive topic right now, as you want to maintain a nest egg for the future. So, when you have to dig into your savings while waiting for the next paycheck to arrive, make sure you can pay it back to achieve the minimum balance without issues.

Being in contact with an ex via social media makes you think of what could’ve been (particularly when things aren’t swell in your situationship). Before getting wrapped up in a time warp, snap out of it. The reality is you’re better off without them because the grass is always greener.

There is a lot up your sleeve that will shock others when it unfolds and becomes public. However, the days ahead urge you to center your energy on preparing for the fame and acclaim that are coming. Be a low-key hype person for yourself in the meantime (before universal domination).

The world is your oyster! But with so many options comes confusion. Tapping into your intuition is vital because it’ll lead you to start projects that you believe in and that are aligned with your destiny instead of ventures that you couldn't care less about. Refine and define your visions.

Whether it's renovations, roommate struggles, or not vibing with neighbors, your living situation is stressful. Chill at a friend’s house or go on a mini-vacation to clear your head. Your problems will still be back at home, but having a moment away to figure out the best solutions is magical.

At times, it seems like you’re stirring the pot for the fun of it. Repeating tea and asserting your POV to those not in the mix is causing trouble in your peer group. Use your energy to take on a hobby that encourages personal growth and development other than gossip.

It’s up to you to denote the value of the art you’re bringing to the public. If you choose to share your gifts and ask for a crazy money to feel the love and appreciation, then go for it. Haters will always comment because they wish they were you.
