Horoscopes: April 25, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have been searching for the signs that romance is real, love is magic, and fate is holding a gift with your name on it. You will have far more luck when you stop searching and just assume it's so.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Is the work worthy of you? If it feels at times like a crushing chore, the answer is probably yes. This is the intensity you were born for. The work will leave you fortified, refined, feeling privileged.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You'll be reminded that you are in a reciprocal relationship with your surroundings. As results of past efforts come around, you'll adjust in hopes that future results will please and serve you better.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The seemingly inconsequential responsibilities are detrimental en masse. Get into "handle-it" mode, and work whatever small details are in front of you before tackling the larger problems.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). In all interactions, look for the person behind the role; speak to the human, not the uniform. This is necessary in dealing with yourself, too. You have needs beyond what your role can fulfill.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Quite a lot on the schedule today might be considered depleting work. Treat it like a meditation. Your attitude of mindfulness could turn mundane tasks into favorite moments of the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When your mind is set on achieving, and the expectation isn't met, you may get frustrated. Set your mind on learning instead. You'll stay open and flexible while stacking the odds in your favor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There's a certain type of jealousy - a snap of irritation followed by a flash of intense dislike - that tells you exactly what you need to change in yourself. Act on this. Follow the impulse.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just because a thought shows up in your brain doesn't mean you have to act on it. Today's mental intrusions are like Internet pop-up ads: Click on the little X and move on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want the same happiness everyone does, but the way that looks to you is different. To inspire yourself, delve into your version of heaven on earth.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). By actively trying to stop negativity, you're making the issue important. Make it unimportant instead; Ignore it. It just might drift by you like a dark cloud, moving on to rain somewhere else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The schedule is subject to change. The one who "messes it up" could also be considered the angel of the day, though perhaps much later, when you're looking back on this day.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (APRIL 25). An educational journey happens over the next six weeks. As a result, you'll let go of some childish notions and adopt an empowering mind-set. By July, your routine is completely different, and your appearance may be, too. The smiling you do in August attracts new friends. In November, a financial stream opens up. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 44, 38, 7, and 16.
