Horoscope For Today: Thursday, April 17, 2025

Today could feel like an emotional tug-of-war for the zodiac signs!

The moon is in adventurous, optimistic Sagittarius, giving us a lighthearted and explorative approach to our emotions. While we likely will feel in good spirits, the moon does form an opposition to Jupiter in Gemini, which may cause some tension. There could be temptations to overindulge, especially if you’re trying to prove a point. There could also be misunderstandings that could bring up conflict, though this could also be a period that tests our growth. 

Check out your signs below (Rising and Sun!) to see what today has in store for you!

Aries

Don’t let fears of the future get the best of you, Aries. Uncertainty about where you’re headed and what your purpose is will likely cloud your perspective today—don’t lock yourself into a path just to feel in control. You’ll know your next steps when you see them, so don’t jump into something you may regret later. 

Taurus

Don’t allow your emotions to make you an easy target, Taurus. Expressing your feelings to the wrong people can lead them to try and take advantage of you—sometimes people can pose themselves as someone worth trusting even when they are far from it. Stay vigilant. 

Gemini

Speaking your mind and being generous could be a mixed bag today, Gemini. Maybe it’s received with the intentions it’s meant for, or maybe it’s misconstrued, and you’re taken for granted, but know that if it’s the latter, it’s worth trying to talk things out rather than doubling down. Tread lightly, but don’t live in fear of saying the wrong thing if what’s on your heart is that important to you. 

Cancer

It’s not easy to stay grounded, Cancer, and today proves it. You could be prone to biting off more than you can chew, and you should know it will catch up with you. Be mindful of what you’re taking on, and don’t let others pressure you into it—you’re the one who has to live with the consequences. 

Leo

Some things are better off protected, Leo. The pressure to share things with others could lead them to meddle or push you into something you don’t want, even if it’s well-intentioned. Do what feels best, but make sure it’s your choice. 

Virgo

Don’t let others tell you who you are or what you want, Virgo. Today, people (particularly maternal figures) may be more outspoken regarding their opinions on your life, and the judgment is enough to get under your skin. However, making an impulse decision to prove a point will likely bite you, so try to keep yourself steady and not take the bait.  

Libra

Opportunities arrive when they are meant to, Libra, but only you can decide if it’s worth the risk. Don’t force yourself into something simply because it’s there—only if you know you can’t live without it. Think it through before jumping at a possibility that presents itself as too good to be true. 

Scorpio

Others may be looking to take advantage of your goodwill, Scorpio. Being firm in your values helps, but people can play on your emotions, so don’t give up too much information to people in case they don’t have your best interest at heart. You may underestimate others’ ability to play you, but it can happen to anyone, so stay alert. 

Sagittarius

Your needs matter, Sagittarius, but you have to be clear. Sometimes, asserting ourselves may come across more as an attack than a request, so there could be some tension. Consider what you’re asking for and determine if it’s worth having the tough conversations. People who love you want to support you, but that doesn’t always make these requests easier. 

Capricorn

It’s okay to save your energy for yourself, Capricorn. You can’t always do everything for everyone else, even if you’re determined to prove your usefulness and capability to do so. The temptation to do it all won’t just bend you; it will break you. Protect your peace. 

Aquarius

Wanting to collaborate can be beneficial, Aquarius, but know when you’re being used. Sometimes, people pretend to be invested in you as a person but care more about your connections and resources. If you are good with business partnerships, be clear about it, but don’t let people trick you. 

Pisces

People may feel entitled to your time today, Pisces. Everyone has opinions, but you get to decide what you do in this life—allowing society or public opinion to dictate all your decisions won’t make you happy in the long run. Don’t be pressured into something you don’t want. Stand your ground.
