The past few days have been an unpredictable adventure, though for some reason today you can focus your mind in a different way. Take some time and get your priorities in order: determine what comes first and why. What seemed so important yesterday may have lost some of its significance and urgency, and something you may not have considered is calling for your awareness. Pay special attention to a financial matter that’s been nagging you and that you may have been avoiding because it was too difficult to work out. A creative opportunity is about to present itself, though it will help if you’re in a positive state of mind and open to an innovative or unlikely solution. This will teach you something about negative expectations: they are rarely helpful. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

If Your Birthday is April 18
(The Day of Vigorous Defense) | Aries Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
As an Aries, you tend to have a strong will. This is often one of your most useful qualities: you’re able to decide what you want and then go after it like few other signs can. But what happens when you find that fiery will of yours coming up against dogma? Reacting arrogantly is rarely going to smooth the way. Yet, just going along with it is not a workable option for you, either. If you can keep your ego out of it and still tap into your emotional intelligence (your body might offer clues, too), you just might access an opportunity seemingly sent by a higher power.
Written in the Planets
Regardless of whether you feel lonely or loved, righteous or humble, remember that you are a human being relating to other human beings. Sometimes this will be easy or feel uplifting. Other times, you may find that individuals you are close to simply are not measuring up or pulling their weight — or that humankind is seeming neither “human” nor “kind.” Venus, finally direct in Pisces, makes its last of three exact squares to the Galactic Core and Saturn in Sagittarius this week. Squares often feel like tension that needs you to take action to relieve it. What have you learned during the Venus retrograde that might benefit from some sharing and loving? Introspection is one thing; rigidity is quite another. You only truly have what you give.
