Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Is that your heart on your sleeve, Aries? You’re more known for your straight-shooting answers than for offering a shoulder to cry on, but Saturday’s stars might turn you into a bit of a mushball. (And no, it’s not a wardrobe malfunction.) With the generous Sun aligned with healing comet Chiron in your sign, you totally understand the power of simply holding space for someone without doling out advice, constructive criticism or tough love. Listen, acknowledge, support: Just being there for a friend or colleague is the most valuable thing you can do. Late Saturday brings a huge wave of relief to your personal life. Not only is the full moon in Libra shining its harmonizing beams into your relationship zone, but love planet Venus snaps back into direct motion. On March 1, Venus turned retrograde in YOUR sign, and since March 27, it’s been in Pisces and your house of hidden agendas and rest. This cycle might have revealed an untrustworthy person or given you a serious case of burnout. Shake off those blues and blahs now! While you still need to take things slow and steady until the love planet circles back to Aries on April 30, at least your efforts to heal or confront a difficult situation won’t be in vain.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
There’s no broom on the market big enough to sweep an 800-pound elephant under the rug. If you’re facing a challenging issue, it’s time to acknowledge it and start dealing with it. Saturday’s cosmic alignment of the bold Sun and healing comet Chiron in your twelfth house of introspection gives you the courage to confront this with a mix of self-compassion AND your signature no-B.S. attitude. Take the first step by getting honest with yourself about how this situation is making you FEEL. Late Saturday, collaborations get a helpful cosmic boost from the peace-love full moon in Libra, the only one this year. But that’s not all. For the past six weeks, harmonious Venus (your ruling planet) has been retrograde, and since March 27, it’s been reverse-commuting through your eleventh house of group activity. Close confidantes might have morphed into frenemies, and getting consensus on anything may have been a total uphill battle. (Does the term “herding cats” mean anything to you?) Today, Venus powers forward in direct motion, smoothing out group dynamics and reviving cooperative spirits. Your love life also picks up steam—all the more reason to set the stage for a romantic rendezvous this weekend.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Release your defenses and embrace some good old-fashioned vulnerability today, Gem. While you relish being the go-to person for sage advice or the latest trends, that’s not what people admire most about you. On Saturday, the authentic Sun merges with healing comet Chiron in your friendship sector, creating a perfect opportunity to shed your “I’ve got it all together” facade. Try something different by allowing others to provide YOU with support. Receptivity is a strength. Late Saturday has great news for your long-term plans, especially in love. The full moon in luminous Libra is lighting up your fifth house of amour, filling you up with romantic promise. Shortly after, ardent Venus snaps out of a low-power retrograde that began on Since March 27, the love planet has been back-spinning through Pisces, your tenth house of career and future planning, making it hard to see the forest for the trees. As Venus ends this difficult cycle, couples can get back on the same page and single Twins will be able to pinpoint what they want for the long haul. If there’s been tension with a coworker or delays with a creative project, those should clear up as well.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
When you’ve got so many balls in the air, Cancer, it’s only natural that one of them might drop. And if that happens, don’t get all flustered. Just stop, pick it up and, if you can, make a little joke about it. The thing NOT to do: Pretend you’ve got it all under control if you don’t. Saturday’s planetary newsflash: No one expects you to be “flawless,” and when you show your human side, people will actually have more respect for you. Late Saturday, a wave of warm-fuzzies washes in with the harmonizing full moon in Libra. And not even an hour later, Venus, the planet of beauty and love turns direct after a six-week retrograde that has been affecting your ninth house of expansion, travel and big-picture visions. While it hasn’t entirely derailed you, one of your lofty goals may have experienced a few setbacks. Your pithy remarks, which are usually entertaining, could have rubbed people the wrong way. Now Venus returns to her social graces, gilding your more outspoken words with the right dose of diplomacy. A renewed surge of enthusiasm return, so roll up your sleeves and get back to work on those enterprising dreams.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Don’t assume that everyone with a different opinion is your adversary, Leo. Such absolute beliefs tend to create barriers, not connections. With the Sun, your ruler, aligned with healing comet Chiron in your ninth house of inclusivity and ideologies this Saturday, you have an opportunity to connect with someone from a vastly different background or who holds divergent beliefs. Make an effort to listen actively and empathetically. You might not change anyone’s perspective, but you could gain valuable insights from the exchange. Late Saturday could bring an end to a difficult bout of control issues and head trips, especially in your personal life. With the full moon in cooperative Libra, a compromise will start to materialize. Moreover, you’ll be in the mood for peace as Venus wraps up a six-week retrograde. This caustic U-turn brought out a domineering or jealous streak in some Leos, along with a possible “sex with an ex” reunion between the sheets. You may have run your relationships with an iron fist, keeping a watchful eye on your mate or a close person in your life. If old trust issues surfaced, hopefully you used the planetary backspin to work those through. Now that Venus resumes direct motion, you can repair any rifts in your bonds or move forward with more reliable candidates.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Things are heating up this weekend, and that warmth isn’t just from the rising spring temps. As the bold Sun aligns with healing comet Chiron in your eighth house of intimacy and transformation, you may be feeling a strong and irresistible energy radiating from within. This is a great time to clear your schedule and plan a special evening with your plus-one of choice, or to put yourself out there and attend a gathering. With the full moon in Libra activating your sensual second house Saturday night, you may even make a deep and meaningful soul connection with someone new. Don’t hold back, Virgo! Even more motivation comes late Saturday, as love planet Venus ends a challenging six-week retrograde. This slowdown has sent ripples through the partnership zones of your chart. Seeing eye-to-eye with a love interest or colleague has been dicey since March 1, when Venus started her reverse commute. Perhaps you bickered more or just didn’t feel the strong attraction. An ex may have resurfaced, further confusing matters. Don’t worry, Virgo: You haven’t lost that lovin’ feeling entirely. With Venus resuming direct motion this weekend, you should find it much easier to connect and get back on the same page.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Saturday’s empowering alignment of the loving Sun and healing Chiron in your seventh house of dynamic duos can help you get a wobbly relationship back on its feet. Remember, Libra: It’s not about who’s “right” or “wrong” or even “who started it.” Every partnership is a two-way street, and if things have gotten off-track, it will take both of you to sort it out. If you’re unattached, take a moment to ask yourself what one thing you might do differently to manifest different results. You’ll be ready to take action—no more deliberating—by Saturday night as the year’s only full moon in Libra powers up your confidence. That’s not all! Not even an hour later, your cosmic ruler Venus snaps out of a six-week retrograde that began in Aries on March 1, then slipped back into Pisces and your work and wellness sector on March 27. Perhaps it’s winter clutter or just a bit of seasonal fatigue, but you could have accumulated some serious chaos since then. As Venus powers forward into direct motion, go ahead and invest in a new shelving unit or tasteful storage baskets. Clear out your kitchen cabinets and fill them with fresh, healthy fare. If you endured a rocky relationship patch, your closest connections can get back on track.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
The devil—and perhaps a way to work out some of your anxiety—is in the details this Saturday, Scorpio. Under an empowering mashup of the creative Sun and healing Chiron in your sixth house of organization, systems and service, shift your focus from “what’s in it for me?” to “how can my talents make a difference to others?” Then, as you find small ways to contribute, take time to savor each moment. The benefit to you: You can become more aware of your thoughts as you slowly and mindfully go about your day. You’ll get support from the Libra full moon on Saturday, which amplifies the “messages” from your subconscious. Get ready for serious downloads to flood in—both from the moon AND Venus, who is snapping out of a six-week retrograde on Saturday night. Even in the tightest relationships, a touch of “it’s complicated” could have set in since this cycle began on March 1. Perhaps you had second thoughts about an attraction, or maybe the retrograde heralded the surprising return of an ex. This weekend, Venus mercifully ends this chaotic cycle, lifting the fog around your love life. You can trust your gut to steer you in the right direction now. At last!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Beauty is NOT just skin-deep, Archer, especially when you allow yourself to feel gorgeous just because you’re you! Saturday’s empowering alignment of the creative Sun and healing Chiron in your fifth house of love and glamour helps you unlock a signature style that resonates with your soul. This isn’t about artificially making yourself up to conform to someone else’s standards of attractiveness. It’s about discovering your genuine look and voice and sharing it with the world in a way that inspires others to revel in their own awesomeness. Expect plenty of fans to take notice, however. With the year’s only Libra full moon prettying up your eleventh house of community, you’ll light up any (chat)room you step or log into! More to celebrate on Saturday night? Harmonizer Venus wraps up a six-week retrograde that’s been helping you dive deep into your feelings since March 1. Having diplomatic Venus in this low-power mode may have created some confusion under your roof or tension with relatives. Now you can sweep away those bad vibes and extend an olive branch where it’s been earned. If you’ve been considering a home makeover, it’s safe to try a new paint color or summon your inner decorator. With Venus direct, you can be assured that you won’t coat the walls in a hideous hue or end up with buyer’s remorse over that new (non-returnable) leather sectional.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Even the highest-achieving Capricorn can’t be all things to all people, and Saturday’s stars send a reminder alarm to stop even trying. Under a self-empowering alignment of the Sun and healing Chiron in your foundational fourth house, it’s important to put your own needs and those of your closest connections ahead of all other agenda items. If you agreed to something that’s already giving you anxiety, reschedule it. You don’t have to force it! Plus, with the year’s only Libra full moon activating your goal-getting tenth house, you might be determined to crush one of your bigger objectives this Saturday night. Nothing wrong with staying in—or going out solo so you can socialize strategically. Also this Saturday night? Peacekeeper Venus ends a six-week retrograde, which has stirred discord with friends and family since March 1. Petty arguments and misunderstandings flared up a little too easily, and your moods were all over the map. Over the past couple weeks, your relationship with a friend, sibling or close collaborator could have gotten rocky. As Venus resumes direct (forward) motion, communication will naturally smooth out. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to share about an exciting venture, you’ve got the green light now. Start spreading the news!

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Some people are committed to being unhappy—and bringing everyone else down with them in the process. And even you, the humanitarian of the zodiac, can’t do anything to break through that wall. Saturday features an enlightening alignment of the brilliant Sun and the healing comet Chiron in your social third house. As the clouds part, you might realize that a better question to ask than “what can I do to help this person?” is “why do I keep getting sucked in by them?” It’s okay to walk away, and when they are vampiring your energy, it’s actually necessary. With the harmonizing Libra moon firing up your independent ninth house, your freedom is the most precious thing to fight for. Late Saturday, magnetic and beautifying Venus ends a six-week slowdown, which has been disrupting your second house of security in particular since March 27. This backspin may have caused a confidence crisis, money mayhem or a style slump. With Venus retrograde in this money and work-driven zone of your chart, you may have been out of sync with your colleagues. Perhaps a financial crunch or a demanding project cut into your time for self-care. With Venus resuming forward motion today, you can revive your glow and start attracting money, opportunity and admirers once again. Now that’s welcome news!
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Saturday April 12
Money can be the root of all evil or an incredible energy for transformation. Under an empowering alignment of the generous Sun and alchemical Chiron in your second house of finances and values this Saturday, you can turn a brewing “crisis” into an opportunity to forge a deeper connection. That goes double as the Libra full moon charges up your eight house of shared resources. If money has become a source of tension between you and your partner or a friend, share how you feel about it, then invite them to do the same. It might not be resolved today, but at least you’ll have initiated the discussion. Late Saturday, your “celestial smoke show” status is ready to be reclaimed. Venus, planet of harmony, beauty and love, has been retrograde since March 1, and worse, backing through YOUR sign since March 27. This may have caused setbacks in your love life or perhaps the return of an ex. Some Pisces just didn’t feel like your personal best while radiant Venus was retrograde, and you may have become excessively self-critical. Good news: Venus turns direct Saturday night, blessing you with extra dazzle and allure until April 30. It’s a perfect time for a style revamp or a fresh start in romance.
