Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday April 23, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
Conflict? Ugh. Even a whiff of tension could throw off your vibe today. But let’s be real, Aries: pretending problems don’t exist has never been your style. With power-player Pluto clashing with the Sun, long-buried friction could erupt. This disagreement doesn’t have to be a death knell for the relationship; it can be an opening to talk about whatever is in the space. Odds are good everyone’s been feeling it anyway. Point out the hot pink elephant in the room, but focus on the issue that needs to be resolved, rather than calling out people by name.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
You could wake up inspired by a lofty goal today, one so grandiose that it borders on being idealistic. Warning: strong egos are in the mix, as the Taurus Sun clashes with domineering Pluto. As a result, you might feel tempted to take charge by any means necessary. Unless you want a protracted power struggle, resist the urge to bulldoze the other people involved. Instead, make space for every voice, especially the quieter ones. Not interest in hearing outside opinions? That might be your cue to break off and turn this into a solo mission.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
It’s okay to lean on supporters, Gemini, but certain people have yet to earn a front-row seat to your inner world. With the Sun deep-diving through your twelfth house and squaring power-hungry Pluto, a volatile clash of perspectives could erupt. Until now, you’ve been burying your head in the sand. But under this volcanic mashup, you’ll have to face the music and deal. Lower your guard, but don’t drop it altogether. If people are intent on playing dirty, you need to put up a protective wall fast. Just avoid getting caught up in mudslinging!
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
Group dynamics getting murky, Cancer? With the Sun lighting up your collaborative eleventh house, you’re eager to explore a shared vision. Unfortunately, El Sol’s one-day clash with shadowy Pluto could reveal a wolf in the henhouse. Someone may be pulling strings behind the scenes or withholding key information that affects the greater group. If alarm bells are going off in your psyche, don’t ignore them. Quietly investigate to figure out what people’s motives are. This doesn’t have to be CIA-level work. Ask a few open-ended questions and people may quickly expose their hidden agendas.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
You’re on a noble mission, Leo, but is a loved one feeling sidelined in the process? Today’s Sun-Pluto square brings you to a checkpoint between your professional drive and the health of your closest relationships. It’s possible that you’ve been so focused on progress that you haven’t noticed a key player who’s been quietly stewing. If you want true success, invite this VIP into into your vision—not just as a sounding board, but as an active participant.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
You’re ready to stretch, Virgo—mentally, creatively, maybe even geographically. But today’s restrictive Sun-Pluto square pits your big-picture dreams against some very real, even tedious, obligations. With El Sol beaming into your ninth house of expansion, you’re craving freedom, but Pluto in your systematic sixth house isn’t letting you off the hook just yet. Before you ditch obligations and book that one-way ticket, ask yourself: what’s the real source of friction? A broken system? Overcommitment? Fix what’s draining your energy so you can actually make those next-level moves stick.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
Your stormy side could make a rare appearance today as the Sun in your intense eighth house bucks against surly Pluto. All of this equates to some strong moods brewing, along with a swirl of intense thoughts. Instead of distracting yourself with shiny things, see if you can sit in these feelings and allow them to be—if only for a couple minutes. Studies show the it takes 90 seconds for an emotion to go through its full chemical process in the body. You can handle that, Libra. Besides, you don’t have to literally sit still for the experience. Walk dance, do some yoga stretches to get your stuck energy in motion.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
Trying to please everyone is a recipe for a stress meltdown, Scorpio. While you intuitively know this, you may catch yourself slipping into people-pleasing mode today as the comforting Taurus Sun spins into a surly square with your ruler, control-freak Pluto. If you want to move the needle here—for everyone, including yourself—ask for support instead of pushing yourself beyond capacity. Just don’t expect friends and family to read your mind. Let them know what you need from them. For best results, keep the instructions simple and give people one task at a time. Be generous with the praise. Training season’s here!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
Whatever you get into today, it’s important to step back and observe the accompanying emotions that arise. Do this BEFORE becoming an active participant in any sort of dramatic eruption. When you feel the urge to react to someone’s egregious entitlement, call a time-out. (Or tell people, “I’ll call you right back,” no explanation required.) Go for a short walk, take ten deep breaths, text your “voice of reason” friend. If you give the feelings a chance to swell up, they’ll also simmer down, much like a wave in the ocean. After that, you’ll know just how to respond to the situation at hand.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
One of your talents is being straightforward and to the point, but it’s optimistic (at best) to expect the same directness in return. Today, as the illuminating Sun beams into furtive Pluto’s well, you may glimpse someone’s shady nature. While everyone has an inner Darth Vader, their degrees of wrath vary. If the offense is mild, offer them a chance for redemption by addressing the issue head-on. The onus is on them to mitigate your concerns. But ultimately, Cap, you get the final say in the role they play in your life.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
It’s one thing to be self-protective, Aquarius, but have your boundaries turned to steel? Today’s stars send a strong cue to soften the armor as the Sun in your sensitive fourth house is pierced by deep-diving Pluto in your sign. When you’re feeling emotions, don’t brush them off or try to cover them up with humor. Include your needs in the conversation instead of deflecting or putting the focus on someone else. While it might take people a minute to catch on that you’re struggling (especially the ones you’ve spoiled), go in with an open heart. After a few negotiations, you’ll get the support you need.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday April 23
Keep snarky barbs to yourself today, Pisces even if you know you’ll get some audience appreciation from the wit. As the ego-driven Sun trades fire with vengeful Pluto, Mean Girl antics will only worsen a growing rift. While you’re not wrong for wanting to diffuse the tension, humor isn’t appropriate now. Worse, could be seen as being in poor taste. Gauge the room before cracking a joke and let others set the tone. If people are dealing with serious issues, you need to come from a place of compassion, not comedy.
