Horoscope: April 17 | The Loyola Phoenix

Aries: March 21 to April 19

Don’t spend your life waiting — start running. Run out of breath and still push on. Life is about action.

Taurus: April 20 to May 20

Nothing will be yours forever. Learn to let go. Pass on the torch. Have faith in the generations following you, just as your predecessors believed in you. 

Gemini: May 21 to June 21

For too long you’ve been living a precarious balancing act. Step down for a while. The tightrope is no place to rest a weary head.

Cancer: June 22 to July 22

Frustration will lead you nowhere. Focus on discussion, debate and negotiation. The loudest voice is not always the most correct. 

Leo: July 23 to Aug. 22

Being hung up on the past will only disrupt your present. Each day is new — treat them as such. The unfamiliar is beautiful as well.

Virgo: Aug. 23 to Sept. 22

Take your coffee sweet. Reach for the cinnamon and lick stray sugar crystals off your lips. The world’s already too bitter on its own.

Libra: Sept. 23 to Oct. 23

Your anger cannot be displaced — you need to learn to live with it. Cradle it close to your chest. Don’t wield it with vengeance. 

Scorpio: Oct. 24 to Nov. 21

People will invent faces for you to wear. Only you know the gentle truth of your life. Fight to dictate your own narrative. 

Sagittarius: Nov. 22 to Dec. 21

Perfection will never be an attainable goal — don’t run yourself ragged believing it is. Work on producing your best and that will be enough.

Capricorn: Dec. 22 to Jan. 19

You deserve the good in your life — don’t ever think of yourself as unworthy. Smile, laugh and enjoy each day. 

Aquarius: Jan. 20 to Feb. 18

You’ll be exhausted and you’ll be heartbroken — these are inevitable tragedies. But life is still beautiful, even when tinged with the poetry of pain. 

Pisces: Feb. 19 to March 20

There’s art in everything — only if you know how to look for it. Take photos of the everyday and fall in love with the mundane.
