Today’s daily horoscope for April 24, 2024

In the Last Moments of Mercury Retrograde

When you sense yourself veering off course, pause. Orient yourself. Do not ask too many questions. Questions send your mind into search mode. Instead of questioning, simply observe your surroundings and affirm your reality with statements, even if they’re just whispered to yourself. Being aware of where you stand is almost as good as being “found.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re unique, and your approach to life cannot be replicated. It doesn’t mean you have to take on the biggest goals and most remarkable endeavors. Think: small things, big heart. Life will be sweeter taken one bite at a time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your very presence seems to awaken the emotional intelligence in others. They’ll show you their brightest insights and moods, and yours improves with every interaction.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your self-talk is a habit of mind that influences your behavior, mood and energy levels more than you might realize. Today, you make it fun inside the playground that is your mind, and you even have private jokes between you and you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Hyperbole can hurt or help things. Nothing “always” happens or “never” happens, and these might be unhelpful phrases. But it’s very nice to know that someone loves you “to the moon and back” or that you’re the “absolute best.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you’re not sure if an endeavor aligns with your values, it will be pretty evident by the way you feel. Does the job tire you? Does the relationship take more energy than you’d like? You embody your values effortlessly, paving the path for success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s an influx of fresh excitement to energize your work. It may be slightly stressful, especially because you’ll be working with people who have a different style from yours, but don’t worry — with awareness, you’ll learn one another.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Take on more than you think you can handle because you’ll grow into whatever you choose. Do make sure you like the way it looks on the model first because that’s how you’ll wear it, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What seems common to you is not at all to others, and its rarity can attract attention, admiration or envy. To avoid stirring up unwanted drama, keep your treasures hidden until the time is right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a feeling things will go right, and the best part is, you’re able to hold, at the very same time, a sense of gratitude, knowing that everything you count on in life is a gift.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Share your appreciation in words and in the gestures that matter to others. It may mean taking the survey. So often the satisfied customers go silently on their way and only the unhappy ones speak up. Your sharing will make a difference.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The paradox of love is, even though love lasts, its moments also rush by. Holding onto it is like grasping at water. The essence and beauty of water is flow.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t overthink it — finding fun is really quite simple. Bring back the enjoyment by remembering the last thing that gave it to you. Seed whatever that was with more attention, investment and playfulness.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 24). You are the composer of your life falling in love with your own opus. In the music of your daily life, secrets of your heart and mind will be unveiled, inviting discovery of new realms within. Your only job is to believe in your magic. More highlights: Five new friends figure in. You’ll be trusted in a key role and paid well for it. You’ll master a hobby. Gemini and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 1, 19, 30 and 27.
