Moon Alert: There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in CANCER.

Happy Birthday for Wednesday, April 22, 2026:

You’re quick to grasp a situation. You’re also energetic, positive and steadfast. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to let go of people, places and things from the past that held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning. Commune with nature.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19)
★★
You might have a stronger than usual focus on family or your private life today. If so, there will be challenges, especially talking to older family members or parents. People are a tad aggressive. Misunderstandings are likely. Late in the day, things get friendlier. Tonight: Cocoon at home.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20)
★★★
This is a tricky day! In one way, conversations with others will be stressed, perhaps even aggressive or angry. Nevertheless, you’re in a happy frame of mind today, which means it will take quite a bit to ruin your day. This puts you in the power seat. Tonight: Warm conversations.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20)
★★★
Financial discussions might disappoint today. You might not get your way. You might find yourself at odds with a friend or a member of a group. However, your ability to be optimistic and think big still might boost your income or favor a particular purchase. Tonight: Check your belongings.

CANCER

(June 21-July 22)
★★
Today discussions with parents, bosses and VIPs (including the police) will be challenging. Don’t ask for permission or approval. The response will be, “Talk to the hand!” Don’t fret, because the Moon is in your sign lined up with lucky Jupiter, which means you don’t really care what they say. (Ha!) Tonight: You win.

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22)
★★★
Steer clear of controversial subjects today, especially politics and religion, because that won’t work. Although you look fabulous to everyone with both the Sun and Venus at the top of your chart, this is a good day to hide and contemplate your navel. (Grab some fun food.) Tonight: Enjoy solitude.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
★★★
Discussions about publishing, medical matters or the law might go well today. Certainly, you want to travel and “get away from all this.” Be careful talking about wills, inheritances, debt and shared property, because you might find yourself at odds with someone. Tonight: Be friendly.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
★★
Be aware that you are high-viz today. People notice you! Therefore, think twice before getting into an argument with a spouse, partner or close friend, which might easily happen. Of course, you’re a people pleaser, so it’s unlikely there will be a scene. Hissing whispers, maybe? Tonight: You’re admired.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
★★★
Steer clear of touchy subjects today. They will do you no good and, in fact, they might harm your relations with co-workers or people involved with your job. Fortunately, relations with spouses, partners and those who are closest to you will flow smoothly today. You’re full of big ideas and you want to blow town. Tonight: Explore and learn!

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
★★★
Despite challenges dealing with romantic partners as well as kids today, you feel warm and generous to others. (Go figure.) You have a sense that you will get what you give, especially in terms of kindness, friendship and nurturing support. And you’re exactly right. (But you knew this.) Tonight: Check your finances.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
★★
Today you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others because the Moon is opposite your sign. Tread carefully when dealing with family members. Don’t let anyone disparage you or diminish you in some way. Pivot to some fun diversions for a wonderful escape. Tonight: Cooperate.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
★★★
Even though daily discussions with others (especially with siblings, relatives and neighbors) might be challenging and even confrontational, relations with co-workers are supportive. Work-related travel might occur. Entertain at home if you can. Tonight: Get better organized.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)
★★★
This is a playful, fun-loving day that might be marred by tension about financial matters, possessions or juggling the cost of things. You want to enjoy your daily surroundings. You want to get along with everyone. Avoid confrontations. Keep things simple. Tonight: Socialize.
