Your daily horoscope: April 19, 2025

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

A Mars-Neptune link on your birthday means you must now go all out to find profitable outlets for your creative abilities. There were too many false starts over the past 12 months – now it’s time to get serious and make your mark in the world.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

As the sun moves into the money area of your chart this weekend you may be inclined to measure recent successes and failures by their dollar value but that would be a mistake. More important by far is what you learnt on the emotional and spiritual levels.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If someone decides to interfere in your business over the next 48 hours that is all the excuse you will need to tell them, succinctly, what you think of them. The sun’s move into your sign means you will refuse to take nonsense from anyone.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Mercury, your ruler, links with power planet Pluto this weekend, so your words will come through loud and clear, even to those people who maybe don’t want to hear your message. That’s too bad – they need to learn a few home truths.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Something that has become a bit of a burden in recent months can easily be offloaded this weekend but don’t get carried away and throw out other things that may still be of use to you in the future. Changes are good but don’t make too many.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

The pace of life on the work front will pick up a lot over the next few days, which can be seen as both a challenge and an opportunity. People in positions of power will be watching you closely, so play by the book but play hard as well.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

As thesuun moves into the most adventurous area of your chart you will get no end of opportunities to have fun over the next few days. Don’t hold back because you fear making a fool of yourself, because even if you do no one will care.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

There is a huge luck factor working in your favor at the moment and with the sun now moving into the wealth area of your chart a windfall of some kind could land in your lap. But remember: You can’t win the lottery without buying a ticket!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

You may be determined to move up in the world even to the extent of treading on toes to stop anyone standing in your way. However, cosmic activity in your opposite sign means you need to tread carefully to avoid making enemies of the people you need on your side.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

You have never been afraid to take risks but as the cosmic picture changes this weekend you would be wise to assess the chances of success and failure more than you have done in recent weeks. Sooner or later all winning streaks come to an end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

If you read between the lines when dealing with people both in your personal life and on the work front this weekend you will understand why loved ones and colleagues are behaving strangely. You will also realize that it’s no big deal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Loved ones and close friends may seem a bit touchy at the moment but they will loosen up when they realize that you are behind them 100 per cent even when they do something drastically wrong. Practise unconditional love every chance you get.

PISCES (Feb. 20 – Mar. 20):

Others may say talk is cheap but that won’t stop you voicing your opinions this weekend. You want everyone to know what you believe, and more importantly, how you are going to apply that belief over the next few weeks. Hold nothing back.
