It’s Tuesday, April 8 and one star sign is feeling a little vulnerable, while another needs to keep their eyes on the prize.
There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared.
Avoid the urge to sweet-talk others into giving you the assistance you seek. If you need a favour, simply come right out and ask for it. People will appreciate your straightforwardness. While progress will be slow and the reward might not seem very exciting, you will see this commitment through to the end.
You feel guilty for not having been able to help a friend as much as you would have liked to. At the same time, they may have been placing too many expectations on you. Having a chat that encourages them to be more self-sufficient will help them get back on their feet.
You could be feeling a little vulnerable these days. An older relative or colleague will know what to say to help you feel more positive. You’ve been spending a lot of time helping others and the Universe is hinting it would be a good idea to start focusing on your own important tasks and projects.
It’s not worth your time trying to impress your employer or a senior colleague with your ideas when you sense they just don’t want to know. If they can’t recognise the value you bring to your workplace, they probably aren’t the right people for you to be working with.
Expect there to be consequences from some recent difficult events. Be cautious about your words when speaking with powerful figures. Maintaining eye contact will earn you their respect. Don’t be fooled by what seems like a stroke of luck as it might cause a chaotic situation.
Take a practical approach to a proposal that’s aimed at improving your household or family situation. It might look good but it could promise more than it will deliver. What appears to be a generous offer will come with hidden conditions. If you’re dealing with plumbing issues, call a reputable professional for help.
Just when you feel like everything is under control, your boss will throw in new demands that disrupt your personal life. The latter half of the day will become tangled in a jumble of financial and business disagreements. Still, there will be people who share your perspective who will support you.
You won’t have a moment to call your own when you seem to be in constant demand. If other people are taking up too much of your time and resources and you are starting to feel overwhelmed by it all, speak up. This is a situation that cannot be allowed to continue.
It’s great to be imaginative and to let your creativity flow. Even so, it’s also important to stay grounded in the reality of the situation. Check out all the facts and be certain you are taking important details into account before making a big decision.
You might be cautious by nature but that doesn’t mean you can’t be flexible when you sense there is a need. If you feel a change is needed right now, go ahead and make it happen. Keep your eyes on a long-term aim. Trust the Universe will support you in achieving this.
Pay attention to the language you choose in text messages, emails and one-to-one conversations. Your aim should be to use phrases that encourage positive communication. A surprise invitation highlights how important you are to someone and puts you in the spotlight.
If you come across some information you weren’t meant to know, keep it to yourself. You might be able to use this for your own benefit. Someone has let the cat out of the bag and this is your chance to be clever and make it pay for you.
