Your daily horoscopes for Tuesday April 9, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
You’re naturally gifted at getting people to say yes, but today, make sure you aren’t treating others like stepping stones along your path. Cajoling or strong-arming to get what you want—be it a goal or a relationship—could backfire before you get to the finish line. It’s time to be transparent, so have a sit-down, even if it delays your timeline a bit. This deal will be sweeter when everyone knows exactly what they’re getting themselves into.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
Opposites are more likely to repel than attract under today’s friction-filled square between the moon and nefarious Pluto. Attempting to force a collaboration with someone whose values are different from yours will just drain you. Even with kindred spirits, you’re at risk of expecting more than other people can give right now. If the momentum isn’t there, stop pushing. A better solution may arise in the interim.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
It’s not always noble to go above and beyond the call of duty, Gemini. In fact, today it might wind up leaving other people feeling guilty or obligated. Before a solid connection sours, step back and give everyone (yourself included!) some necessary breathing room. And remember: If you voluntarily made an offer, it’s not fair to accuse anyone of taking advantage of you. Bitter isn’t a good look for you, Gemini.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
Today’s collision between the moon and furtive Pluto could make it hard to tell who’s being transparent and who is concealing key information. Just because YOU laid all your cards on the table doesn’t mean that others will follow suit. Raising sensitive issues with a resistant audience will put people on the defensive—especially if they’re harboring shame over a “wrongdoing.” If you’re feeling anxious to access information, do some independent research. Then spend some time crafting intelligent questions to get the answers you need.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
Sensitivities could rise to the surface today as the moon crashes into prickly Pluto. But check your initial reactions, Leo. Under this reactive starmap, you may read the room too quickly. Flinging accusations or making exaggerated generalizations won’t make it easy for people to sympathize with your plight. In fact, this could create the opposite of your intentions and fan the flames of drama. Avoid!

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
The devil may be in the details under today’s scrimmage between the moon and Pluto. But don’t lose sight of deadlines while you tinker with presentation templates or obsessively edit the opening sentence of an email. Your meticulousness is valued, Virgo, but projects need to be finished on time. If you sense you’ll slip on a promise, the best thing to do is communicate asap. That way, you can huddle with your team and devise a Plan B.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
You can maintain a semblance of creative control today, Libra, but don’t keep an iron grip on it. With the emo moon crashing into furtive Pluto, it would be a mistake to NOT let your team in on major decisions. For one thing, your secrecy will arouse unnecessary suspicion. But more than anything, you’ll deny yourself valuable input that can expand your vision. A whiteboard session will be invaluable, both for building rapport and strengthening ideas.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
When people gain your trust, you’re an open book, Scorpio, but think twice before sharing an audacious dream with your inner circle today. As the moon sideswipes your ruler, mysterious Pluto, friends and family won’t be operating on your wavelength. Worse, your high-key excitement could send them into protective mode, especially if you don’t have a solid plan to back up your vision. Spare yourself the disappointment and seek feedback from people who aren’t quite SO emotionally invested in your success.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
Curiosity is a double-edged sword under today’s tense angle between the moon and calculating Pluto. Before you start poking around, make sure you’re prepared to handle any fallout from what you discover. Is someone in your life being prickly and sensitive? Step back. Unless advice is expressly requested, your well-meaning words could backfire and leave you feeling scorned or rejected. It’s better to lead by example today, so pour your energy into taking care of your own world.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
No, you’re not just imagining it, Capricorn. People could come across as shockingly entitled and self-absorbed today as the moon burrows into Pluto’s shadowy underworld. Do your very best to NOT take it personally. These oversights, while insulting, say more about THEIR state of mind than how much they do or don’t respect you. Say no to anything that feels misaligned, but grant people the benefit of the doubt if they’re acting out of character today.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
Caution: power struggles ahead! A tough square between the sensitive moon and dominating Pluto could churn up everyone’s desire for control. Going head-to-head drains you of your vital energy, but don’t cave in the name of smoothing things over. Instead, take a giant step back for the day. People will discover firsthand how invaluable your contributions truly are when you’re not available on demand. That said, don’t go completely MIA or you could cause someone’s abandonment issues to flare up.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday April 9
Don’t bury your head in the sand today, but don’t be too quick to drop your camouflage. As the moon goes to war with secretive Pluto, your Spidey senses will be on high alert. Trouble is, you won’t pick up on signals with your usual intuitive clarity. It’s easy to overreact or assign nefarious traits to people under these skies. Something needs adjusting, but in this state, conversations aren’t likely to be productive. Write a letter that you don’t send, or vent to someone who will listen empathically without pulling you further into the morass.
