Happy birthday for Wednesday, April 19, 2023. Tonight’s solar eclipse signals a major turning point. There’s an energising, go-hard-or-go-home quality to this eclipse that calls us to take a bold step into a new phase of our life. Over the next few weeks, we can expect key news or developments that will help push us forward. This cosmic event can be the kick in the pants that we need to transform our lives, take a leap of faith or pursue a dream. Since this eclipse can agitate as much as it can motivate, we may need to take caution into consideration.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) — You may be ready to reinvent yourself or go further than you’ve been before. Reach for the stars.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) — Are you resisting the flow instead of going with it? It’s impossible to be in control of every outcome or experience in life. Learn the art of surrender.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) — Your social circle may be changing in a big way, as you search for more meaningful connections. Too, you could see your popularity rise.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) — Big career opportunities are on the horizon, or perhaps you’re due to receive a prestigious award or a moment of public recognition.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) — You may be ready to branch out and spread your wings. This could lead you toward new travels, the pursuit of an exciting idea or a brighter outlook.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) — It’s time to move on from something that you’ve outgrown. You may need to work on overcoming a deep fear or begin healing from a painful experience from the past.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) — A match made in heaven may be in your near future. Maybe it’s a new business partnership or a high-profile client. Maybe you’re changing your relationship status to “committed”.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) — You’re looking to get a better handle on your wellness. It’s an excellent time to make a lifestyle change, find a healthier work environment or develop a better work-life balance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) — Fun, passion, romance — if any of these things have been lacking in your life, they won’t be for long.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) — Are you ready to put down roots in a new neighborhood or welcome a new family member? There’s also an opportunity to heal or repair relationships with loved ones.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) — You may be hungry to learn, whether it’s another language, a useful skill or a new area of interest. You can also be successful in launching a creative idea.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20) — There could be more money coming in, thanks to a better paying gig or you finding the courage to ask for the dollars you deserve. Be ready to conquer feelings of unworthiness.
