Horoscopes: Friday, April 19, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Creativity will not come into the picture like a mysterious generative force. It will instead be a response to the environment, a solution to the problem or a reaction to the limitations in play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve repeated an action so many times that there’s a groove forming. Or maybe it’s a rut. There’s a fine line between the two. How is it feeling to you? Reminder: There are hundreds of ways to do a thing. Find yours.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Everything you see is perspective, which is different from truth, although some angles are much more honest than others. The less you need out of a situation, the more clearly you can see it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re a part of nature, and it will feel better to think and act in accordance with that instead of fighting what seems to be coming up organically for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Though you really find it maudlin to think in terms of “what if it’s the last time?” The fact is that this is just the approach that will ensure you squeeze every last bit of potential out of the situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you feel harmed but weren’t, then were you harmed? If you don’t feel harmed but were, then were you harmed? Your answer to these questions help you take ownership of your own experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is in your best interest to either consider the situation endurable and then take it on as such without complaint, or say “not for me” and then move along. Both choices are fine. It’s vacillating in the middle that’s hard. Avoid!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you don’t feel like deciding on a direction then just don’t. This is a moment for playing around, which is very different from standing still. Experimentation will show you the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can’t lose what you don’t have. Maybe there’s comfort in this. Does it embolden you? You don’t have to worry about trying not to mess up some imaginary future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Over time, you can make yourself into whatever you want to be, but you cannot make yourself into everything all at once. Actions that are guided by reverence and justice will naturally flow to the right future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The problem with memory lane is that no one can live there. Whatever happened before, it already had its chance and now its time is over. This is the hour that matters.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Things end eventually, but not now. Paradoxically, by thinking about the loss of the thing we are enjoying, we can increase our appreciation of it and bring enjoyment to the next level.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 19). You’ll prioritize self-care higher, which makes you abler to deliver on the big demands coming up. Someone loving nurtures and supports you, too. Work takes off. You get so busy in 2020 that you’ll need to add team members and acquire tools. Giving an anonymous gift will set of a ripple of excellent karma. Cancer and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 40, 22 and 11.
