Horoscope for Monday, April 17, 2023

With both a game-changing solar eclipse and the start of Mercury retrograde just days away, today is best for wrapping up unfinished business rather than starting anything new. We might find our motivation lacking, too, as the day gets off to a very sluggish start. On the positive side, we get the chance to ease into our workweek, instead of rushing headfirst into it. There may also be some juicy creative energy to take advantage of as well. Toward the evening, the energy picks up significantly, making it necessary to pace ourselves and watch our stress levels.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

If you're feeling unmotivated today, be mindful of pushing yourself through it. Sometimes you just need a break.

More kindness is what the world needs these days. What's one thing you can do today to spread some love?

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 20)

Your confidence may be a bit shaky today. Your friends will provide you with some much-needed encouragement.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22)

Keep hope alive -- or, at the very least, your sense of humor. The odds are working in your favor.

LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22)

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Let yourself get lost in whatever makes you feel good, like art, music, dance or fantasy fiction. Your cup needs to be refilled.

If you're feeling moody or self-reflective, it may help to lay low for a little while or find a nice, secluded hideout that's just for you.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

It might be a good idea to limit how much news and gossip you consume today. Look for media or entertainment with a more lighthearted vibe.
