We’ve moved from a mindset of remembering to take care of Mother Earth to fast-tracking all efforts to preserve the natural world. Today’s auspicious lunar trine to Mercury works with the agenda. What were once behavioral afterthoughts are now necessary habits. ARIES (March 21-April 19). One thing you’ll be extremely good at is forming friendships and weaving them into larger networks. This opens many resources for this weekend’s projects. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Being generous feels wonderful but don’t cheat yourself, or feelings turn to shades of loss, sadness, anger and pain. When in doubt, do nothing until you’re sure about what you can afford, emotionally and otherwise. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will be deals presented to you. Beware of situations where the money is more important than the work. Tonight will be like a fast car: safety first, then have a blast. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Group goals should technically be easier to reach because the work is divided. Keep in mind that if the work isn’t more or less equally divided, there will be resentments when it’s time to divvy up the prize. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll achieve what only mature people are able to: You’ll be an objective witness to your own behavior. Feelings are not puppeteers. You will acknowledge your emotions without letting them drag you around. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Peer pressure is a fact of humanity. Wherever people are, there’s a pressure to conform to their opinions and behaviors. It’s a good reason to spend as little time as possible with people who undervalue you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Stories get exaggerated, pictures get altered, facts get tampered with. You’ll get a better sense of things you witness firsthand, but even then, there are obstacles to perfect perception. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The logic you followed before suddenly seems less reliable. You’ll navigate with something different. An innate knowing rises up to move you past other kinds of processing. It’s like the decision is making itself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to be perfect to be loved, liked or included. You don’t have to be perfect to be persuasive, effective or accomplished. You don’t have to be perfect, period. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s as though you can feel someone thinking about you and sense the subsequent reach out before it happens. It’s because you are connected at a deep level, working through a joint karma. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Keep pushing through the challenge. Things may not come to fruition as quickly as you’d like, but you can trust that eventually you will know the deep satisfaction of having accomplished what you set out to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You bring warmth to interactions. People feel safe with you and there’s a sense that you’re all on the same side. Where mysteries and manipulation once existed, someone will let down their guard and tell you how it really is. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 22). This solar year, it’s as though the universe knows you are not impressed with shallow prizes and so will bring you relationships and situations that are impressive in scale, effect or loveliness. Community feeds your soul, and you’ll rack up the goodwill as you make people’s lives easier and more interesting. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 15, 4 and 18. Universal SUDOKU SOLUTIONS HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 2022 Impatient Aquarius Moon We’re anxious for the future to start. If we were to build it from scratch, it would take so long that by the time the thing was finished it would already seem outdated. The impatient Aquarius moon nags at the sun first, and as though it weren’t enough, goes on to hassle Uranus, who suggests we consider ready- made, plug-and-play, turnkey-type options. ARIES (March 21-April 19). Though your intention is pure, your motivation has been unreliable. No worries. You’ll soon pick up momentum and you won’t need motivation anyway. It will be enough to simply eliminate resistance. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It is said that the one who is lucky is feeling; the one who is unlucky is thinking. This principle will apply as you feel your way through the day, collecting delights. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With some people you get the feeling that everything is a test. And even if it’s not, the tone of the relationship hinges on how you’re performing in each interaction. If you don’t feel you can relax, the relationship is less than ideal. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re not trying to be mysterious, but oversharing isn’t your style. The way you protect your privacy and keep a world unto yourself is mighty attractive. They’ll want to know more, but resist. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are wise and people who need your wisdom are attracted to you. Your policy to help only when asked or when clearly needed will hold you in good stead. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you feel like an ordinary person doing extraordinary things. Today you feel like an extraordinary person doing ordinary things. Those who recognize your talents will earn a special place in your heart. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your enjoyment of things goes far beyond their functionality. You’ll delight in the aesthetic aspect and probably be willing to pay more for the coolest-looking version. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It might help to think of the people you deal with today as creatures with features very different from your own. Smooth interactions happen when you cater to their specific abilities and temperaments. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve seen glimpses of an entire dimension hidden inside things and now you can’t go on as if it doesn’t exist. There’s no use talking about it to people who can’t relate. Find the people who can. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Whether or not it’s fair, to whom much is given, more will be given. Accept all of what comes your way. And if it’s too much, later you can pay it forward to those who need it more than you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Interactions may get awkward or go all wrong, but it’s nothing to stress about. Relationships that matter are about the long game. Also note that the same thing that falls flat with one person could be a major hit with another. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people cannot successfully fake interest for very long. That’s why you cherish moments of genuine interest, like the ones you’ll give and receive today. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 23). When people have a good time around you, you’ll feel you’ve done your job. Indeed, it counts as work this year as you’ll be roundly rewarded for all the smiles, laughter and comfort you bring to the scene. Also, you’ll pick up a new skill, apply it and have the means to improve domestic life for you and yours. Gemini and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 39, 15, 2 and 40.
