Both Cancer and Aries are go-getter energies, but they aren't interested in the same things. Cancer rules the home, and Aries rules the self. It's not hard to see why this could be a problem! But with the Moon here to guide us to our emotional awareness this Saturday, we are encouraged to trust our intuition. We ought to let our emotions rule us and always remember that the goal isn't solely to have what we want but also to serve others in the process.
Your zodiac sign's daily horoscope for Saturday, April 13, 2024.
Aries (March 21 - April 19)
"Home is the shelter from all storms" — Laura Ingalls Wilder. The world can feel like a turbulent place sometimes, and when you are entering the weekend, you could use a little respite from work, intense meetings, and people in grind mode. Today, why not leave talking about your job at the door? Instead, focus on things that make you feel happy. What happens when you're happy, Aries? The world around you falls into place. Your family sees lightness in your spirit. They feel like being around you, and everything seems all right in the world. With the Moon entering Cancer today, aim to become increasingly comfortable in your skin. Cook, bake, and take a long soak in the tub. Enjoy a bike ride along the beach or swim in your gym or the clubhouse pool. Wear your bummy clothing and let life pass you by for a little while.
Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
"Trusting our intuition often saves us from disaster," said Anne Wilson Schaef. Have you ever had one of those moments where you felt a certain way, but instead of listening to your gut, you allowed others to talk you out of your opinion? You choose to ignore your intuition. Today is meant to teach you to trust yourself. The Moon enters Cancer, your solar house of communication, which enhances your intellect and ability to see beyond the veil. You perceive what is involved in the minds of others. You can sense tension and opportunity when it's there. This is a day to truly be in tune with your inner being and listen to that still, small voice when it speaks. Avoid fast food and things that will diminish your sense of well-being. Aim for fresh fruits and veggies, fresh air and a quality night's sleep. Write down your visions. If you have time, look up the Silva method to see if it appeals to you.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
It's so good to have money, but is money really the goal? It's the enjoyment of what you have that you desire. You want to spend time on the things that bring you happiness, buy you time, and put a smile on your loved one's face. So, today, as the Moon enters Cancer, your solar house of personal wealth, consider what you can do to improve your financial outlook. Do you want to start a side gig? There's nothing wrong with doing one little thing just for yourself. You might enjoy having a little Etsy store or opening an affiliate business with a blog and doing clothing or makeup reviews. Work toward earning a certificate in trade and moonlight at night and in the evenings. Think of something you like and go for your dreams.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
One thing you do better than anyone else is care for others. You give of yourself, and you often put the people you care for as a priority above your own needs. So, when the Moon enters Cancer, your solar house of self, you may notice this is not always the wisest decision. It's a good day for reprioritizing your life. You want to have balance in all things, which means taking care of yourself and being there for others, with everyone feeling happy and content in the end. Use this time to tune in to your emotions when volunteering for things. Does it feel like a chore or a joy? Are you resentful or content? These indicators during a Cancer Mono can be the salve that helps heal you.
Leo (July 23 - August 22)
You're a spiritual person, Leo, and when you get into your heart space, it's a beautiful thing. But being a spiritual person doesn't mean you hide in a corner to pray and read a holy book. It means using your heart to take action and to make the world a better place. When today's Moon shifts into the zodiac sign of Cancer, you're ushered into the world of caring for others and doing work that serves the greater good. This is what you learn to appreciate and value when the Moon is in the depths of this water sign— helping and sharing your life with others.
Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
