Your daily horoscopes for Monday April 22, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
If a figure from your past keeps popping into your mind, you may have a hard time brushing off those thoughts—and maybe you shouldn’t, Aries. As the Libra moon opposes Mercury retrograde, something about that relationship is worth reprising. Are you two overdue for a catch-up? Initiate contact, if so. Maybe everything’s done and dusted between the two of you, but perhaps you miss a quality of your bond, like the way you were able to bounce ideas off each other or a sensibility you shared. Time to start searching for a new partner-in-crime who can pick up where your old person left off.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
Your knack for planning ahead will be an especially strong asset today as a systematic sixth-house moon gets into a friction-filled frequency with Mercury retrograde. Lay a solid foundation for your finished product by “working backward.” Rather than focusing on your next step only to wind up scattered, visualize your desired outcome, then map your way back from there. Create a few mid-course milestones because those smaller wins will keep you motivated. On that note, what’s one thing you could knock out before EOD that would be worth celebrating?
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
If your words aren’t quite matching up to your actions, hit pause so you can realign the two. As the moon in your fame zone tangoes with retrograde Mercury, flaking on promises or dodging responsibilities (that you agreed to, Gem) could put your reputation at risk. Don’t assume others share your perspective on what constitutes a big deal versus what’s a minor infraction. Sometimes you need to make a Plan B, and that’s fine. Just keep your people in the loop!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
Sensitive Cancers are anything BUT surface-level when it comes to your communication style. But thanks to the moon’s horn-locking opposition to Mercury retrograde, it would do you well to set a few boundaries for yourself before you swim out any deeper with certain people. For example, maybe someone’s “advice” leaves you more disempowered than uplifted. Or it seems like the more you care, the worse you’re treated. Don’t ignore these screaming red flags. In cases like these, taking distance can be a healthy first step. If you’re going to stand up for yourself, you want to do it from the strongest, most centered place possible.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
Your word is your bond, Leo, so don’t let those luscious lips write a check your lion’s tail can’t cash. The moon is in people-pleasing Libra and today it’s getting egged on by an opposition to Mercury retrograde. While you could charm your way into (and out of) all kinds of fascinating situations, some could prove to be little more than a detour—if not an epic time-suck. Ride the wave of excitement with caution today and make sure it doesn’t spin you off track. Keep this question top of mind: Do our end games align?

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
Today’s moon in your financial sector keeps your eye on the bottom line, and thanks to a snarly opposition with retrograde Mercury, you might even rethink where said line is drawn. Budget-friendly options aren’t always high-value choices, Virgo, especially if you have to work harder to fill in the gaps (time is money!) or replace an item over and over again. And as much as you also adore your luxury items, if they’re not really helping you generate more than a feel-good buzz, consider a temporary spending freeze while you handle the more practical side of the equation. Delayed gratification can be rewarding, too.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
Drop the mic, Libra…literally. While today’s moon in your sign brings your emotions close to the surface, an clash with retrograde Mercury could turn the valves on with a little TOO much pressure. Normally, you’re the picture of diplomacy, but today sentiments could rush out before you have a chance to properly filter them. To avoid a tangled web of recon work, complex apologies and rebuilding bridges, save the hardcore talks for another time—like, say, after Mercury turns direct on April 25. Work it out privately until then, and you’ll arrive at a much stronger solution.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
How unlike you, Scorpio, to walk around with your head in the clouds. But not only is the moon floating through your dreamy twelfth house, but today, it’s directly opposite from Mercury retrograde. With your subconscious THIS active, you owe it to yourself to record any visions that arise. Thoughts may turn to the past, but rather than ruminating on what went “wrong,” see this as a golden opportunity to process your feelings and discover the karmic lesson that the situation taught you.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
As much as you hate to leave people out, the more may NOT be the merrier today as the moon rumbles into an opposition with retrograde Mercury. Think carefully before assembling a crew. Even if YOU get along great with everyone individually, how will they mesh with one another? Rocky interpersonal dynamics could distract you from your original intention for gathering or leave you playing peacemaker when you’d rather be participating freely—a recipe for Sagittarius frustration if ever there was one.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
All systems go? Not so fast! The moon is revving its engines in your ambitious tenth house, but today it’s also locking horns with Mercury retrograde. Make sure your mission is clearly defined before you launch. Map out your trajectory and everything you’d like to tackle by EOW. Start with your end goal and work backward so that each step—no matter how large or small—can be accomplished in a feasible way. Your usually driven sign might be tempted to fire on all cylinders, but you’ll only exhaust your reserves. Putting a concrete plan in place will clear you for takeoff.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
The truth shall set you free—or liberate you from some truly untenable circumstances, thanks to today’s revealing opposition of the moon and retrograde Mercury. But know that whatever revelations you decide to drop in the open could reach basically anyone’s ears. If you’re not comfortable with the general public being in on discussions, confide only in your trusted inner circle. Voice your concerns from your heart so that others don’t feel attacked. For example, if you didn’t like the finishing touches that a coworker put on a big presentation, gently guide them in the right direction.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Monday April 22
Read the room, Pisces, but don’t broadcast your “findings” just yet. A rocky opposition between the moon and Mercury retrograde can muddle the way your well-meaning insights come across. Sure, you may feel like you’re practically reading other people’s minds while still mining the surface-level facts. Rather than dole out your usual compassionate advice, however, try empathizing with the experience this person is having. Practice active listening and don’t interrupt— you’ll communicate more effectively this way and avoid making any retrograde, foot-in-mouth snafus.
