Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, April 18, 2025

Aries (March 19 – April 19)

Taurus (April 20 – May 19)

It would be no surprise if, at the moment, you're as frustrated by the indecisive mood of others as you are by the ongoing changes in circumstances you're currently facing. The secret? Regard whatever you do or plan as an experiment rather than anything meant to be lasting. Take that approach, and the rest will be surprisingly easy.

Gemini (May 20 – June 21)

Virgo(August 23 – September 22)

Once the matters in question are dealt with, everything else will go smoothly.

Libra(September 23 – October 22)

Over the past week or so, you've invested a lot of time, thought and energy in several promising arrangements.

You'll be glad you did.

Scorpio(October 23 – November 21)

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

Pisces(February 18 – March 18)

This will broaden your horizons, which in turn will lead to yet more unexpected yet thrilling encounters and discoveries. A final plan? It can, and should, wait until your next birthday.

Monday

Judging by the powerful planetary focus on new ways of thinking and of doing things, during this birthday you'll be in the midst of a cycle of review as exciting as, often, it will be unsettling.
