Today is April Fool's Day. Although no one can pinpoint its origins, the practice of telling tales and pranking people seems to go back for hundreds of years. People used to compete to see how far they could astound other folks; and then put them out of their misery by shouting 'April Fool'! Maybe it's because it's hard to differentiate fact from fiction that the tradition is less popular these days? But making someone laugh by doing something silly is surely a practice worth practicing!

ARIES
There's a genre of crime novels that always ends with a similar finale. All the different characters are called into a room where the detective announces that they've solved the murder. How does the guilty person react? Sometimes, they try to sneak out, drawing attention to their culpability. You've got the detective role in a drama in your life. But you're still in the evidence-gathering stage. Take your time. Check the reliability of your intel. You don't want to risk losing the moment by jumping to the wrong conclusion.
TAURUS
'We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars'. Oscar Wilde's inspiring words are worth bearing in mind today. Although it's true that you find yourself in a less-than-ideal situation, it's hard to see what action you could have taken that would have prevented things getting to where they are. And trying to work out how you 'should' have done things differently is futile. Even though things are growing more complex, and there are obstacles ahead, today, if you turn your attention forwards, you'll make progress.
GEMINI
You feel compelled to adhere to a certain set of rules. Yet they were created a long time ago, in a different era, by people in your world who no longer have authority over you. These aren't, by the way, legal issues that should never be contravened. They're unspoken agreements which have been upheld, which are no longer relevant, or fair. Your retrograde ruler, Mercury, is offering you a chance to reassess and reconsider what binds you to whom - and why. You can free yourself from an outmoded modus operandi.
CANCER
Although you're under pressure (Mars is still in your sign), try to stay cool, calm and collected. It's only if you're sure that this approach isn't working that it's time to ramp up your approach. Even then, work gradually. Start with a quiet suggestion. Then, try a stronger assertion. Then (and only then) get the metaphorical megaphone out. This is sensible advice... right? But how realistic is it when you're emotionally invested in the result? Not very! Just take a breath before speaking today. Then, speak from your heart.
LEO
You're a generous, warm-hearted Leo. While everyone is born with these qualities, even the kindest folks have a shadow side. As we gain experience of the world and find ways to navigate its challenges, we learn to show the most appropriate characteristic at the most appropriate time. Which means that people aren't always quite what they seem. Yet you know, that when you find yourself in difficult situations your best bet is to show the nicest side of yourself. Today, if you're as kind as you can be, you'll make progress.
VIRGO
Suppose you were offered a chance to try out a new life today? If, instead of having to plough through your list of things to do, you came across an Alice-in-Wonderland-type potion that made you shrink to a fraction of your size? Then you could join the wish-granting fairy team? Since you don't have a magic wand, you'd just have to hope that people wished for things that are already in your power to grant. Although, for that, you don't need wings! Today, just by being you, you can help someone harness their inner magic.
LIBRA
Surely even the most dedicated hiker has to pause when they've got a stone in their shoe? But suppose they're on a tight deadline? Or they're with a group of other hikers who are determined to walk as fast as possible? We've all sometimes been in situations where we hobble along, trying to avoid putting weight onto an object in our sock. And the longer we cope, the less we're inclined to stop and take it out. You can take simple action to relieve an annoying problem in your world. Just don't let pride get in your way.
SCORPIO
People who have psychic powers are a bit scary. While part of us wants to believe in their abilities, another part is nervous. If someone is able to read our minds, what will they see? Which secrets might they discover? We've all got aspects of ourselves that we want to keep private. And as a deep-thinking Scorpio, the last thing you want is someone invading your thoughts. Which is why you carefully keep your innermost feelings safely tucked away. Yet today, if you share a secret, you'll feel lighter, and much better supported.
SAGITTARIUS
Since we don't always say what we mean, the fact that the most revealing aspect of a conversation comes from what's 'not' said shouldn't come as a surprise. It's the subjects that aren't spoken about, the sudden changes of topic, and the silences, that speak volumes. Psychotherapists and body-language experts derive lots of information from observing these moments. Yet if we over focus on details, we risk losing sight of the overall picture. Today, you can strike the perfect balance, and get to the bottom of a problem.
CAPRICORN
In any debate, when people disagree about the path forward, there's always a moment when a crossroads is reached. At this juncture, we can decide to de-escalate the situation, and search for shared values; or we can stick to our guns, exacerbate the divide and entrench our position. Since it's better to build (rather than burn) bridges, it's difficult to see why people choose the latter path. Except, of course, when it comes to matters of principle. Take another look at what's at stake today. It might not be as important as you think.
AQUARIUS
With so much alarming news around, we tend to scrutinise the horizon in an effort to safeguard ourselves against trouble. Hunkering down and closing our eyes is an entirely normal way of protecting ourselves and preventing things from being worse in our corner of the world. You're not alone in feeling you've got more than you can cope with on your plate. Yet, there's no need to be overly anxious. And if you step out of your comfort zone today, you'll realise that one particular issue is far less urgent than it looks.
PISCES
They tell us that pride comes before a fall and that there's an 'up' for every 'down'. These well-known idioms seem to follow a natural logic that underpins life on our ball of rock. After all, night always follows day, and happiness and sadness are opposite sides of the same coin. Even love and hate, which we tend to think of as being opposites, are more closely related than we like to admit. With your ruler, Neptune, now transiting Aries, if you tap into your intuitive powers, you'll find the positive in a challenging situation.
